Well, you've read the notes, the notes had rainbows and a connection, and now it is time for you to post until the rainbow connected cows come home.

Good morning, all! I was awakened by the oaf living above me around 5am, and spent the next hour dozing and waiting for the alarm to go off. Said oaf also arrived home with a big door slam shortly after 11pm last night, right after I turned off the lights, and repeated the door slam not long after, either when he walked the dog. I wonder if I can sue my landlord for leasing an apartment to this jerk?

I have a 9am followup appointment to examine my tooth extraction, and following that, I will stop by Toyland to check out things and drop off the Finale Ultimo scores. Then, back here to continue writing the introductory material to BABES IN TOYLAND, Vol. 2.

I'm tired.

Tuesday morning greetings! Our cousins will leave today to return to GA and I'm taking my mother grocery shopping. DN Lauren is coming for tutoring and, probably, dinner.

Travel vibes to DR Michael S!

I'm sitting here looking at the original sheet music for "There's a Rainbow Round My Shoulder," personally signed by Al Jolson.

Lesson learned today - you cannot use a FedEx tracking number on usps.com $:-\$

Once I figured out that my new Daytimer refill had been shipped by FedEx the number worked beautifully.

Yes, my favorite "rainbow" song is indeed Tom Waits' "Rainbow Sleeve." It has been recorded by Waits, Bette Midler and Davis Gaines (and probably others). For some strange reason, it is also known as "Rainbow Sleeves" and can currently be heard in EVERYDAY RAPTURE.
