More this and that

Work is getting in the way of work.  I’m so busy that I wound up bringing the laptop to Drew’s House this weekend. Spent the better part of Saturday afternoon and a few hours on Sunday catching up.  And telling myself the being busy is good, that ‘busy” = “job security”.  Considering I have a friend whose employer is slowly winding down its business, and he can’t find another job ...I’ll take “busy” over waiting for the other shoe to drop ...

But still, it’s been stressful, and I am so grateful that Drew sent me to the relaxation center for a massage.  45 minute back massage, 45 minute foot massage, and I am so much happier.

You have to love a man who cooks.  He’s in the kitchen right now, preparing something for dinner.  And later we are going to watch the Oscars.

So I have had some fun this weekend.

We are going to Philadelphia on Tuesday to see his specialist again. His symptoms have gotten worse since we were there in December, and we are concerned.

I’m glad the appointment is Tuesday, not Wednesday, since the forecast for Wednesday is starting to get scary ... perhaps another nor’easter, like the one we had on Friday.  That was a truly miserable storm. My office actually closed mid afternoon because of the weather.  

Sigh.  Back to work tomorrow.

    Yup, busy is good. But it still sucks when you want to have time for yourself. Stay warm.

    Does your "friend" who will soon be unemployed have the same initials as Superman's girlfriends?

    Yes, Jim Bo, it’s him. He thinks he’ll be done as early as next month.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
