Books dropped off to the church choir loft.  The organization will be for another day.  Now, more home organization and perhaps a plan to get to the storage unit to drop off more things.  Also, a trip to Target tomorrow to get more supplies will be in order.  This is so much easier with a plan -- I still don't plan, don't ask me!

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.

The only weird thing (other than the movie itself) I saw in Dementia is in the opening pull back to reveal the neon sign and hotel room - it seems to jump and repeat a few frames there, not sure why, unless my eyes deceived me.  Otherwise, I saw nothing different.

I just started the McGlynn "Show Boat" as I work though stuff here at home.  That should take me through the afternoon!

[singdaw]

That should take me through the afternoon!

It surely should!

Today is the church conference. We are doing it by zoom this year, of course.

This should have been our week to visit Disneyland while we would have been in Southern California.

It is extra disappointing dealing with covid on the days special activities had been planned. 

[Jane]

They might be better than fresh because you don’t know how old the fresh are.

The best sprouts I’ve ever eaten were harvested that day. The difference is amazing.

I noticed that about all vegetables when we had our vegetable garden.

[Jane]

Well, I expect the next time we go it will be a completely different experience. We'll get to see it through the eyes of a child, when the magic is real.

Has your daughter in-law been yet?  If not, between them it will be doubly magical.

Good Morning!  Last night, I got a LOT of packing done, while the movie of "Flower Drum Song" played in the background.  Such a great movie. 

Today, I'm taking boxes of music that I packed up last night to my office in the loft of the church which is where I'm keeping all my sheet music.  This is remove things from the apartment. Hooray!   I might get a run in to the storage unit as well, we'll see how the day goes.  But it's more packing etc.   I got the NTV (notice to vacate) email from the apartment complex, as well as the guidelines for leaving the apartment.  I'm glad I have a few extra days to be in the new place and still be in the old place so I can clean the place up. 

Speaking of the new place - looks like I'm finally getting a walk through on Thursday - I've seen pictures etc...   And it looks like I'm getting my keys on November 24, which is awesome.  If only life can stand still for the next few weeks so I could concentrate on that.  Oh well, it will get done!

SENDING MOVING VIBES!

After getting dropped about 6 times, I gave up. No one is paying me to be there, so at least there's that.

[Laura]

She has been to the Disneyland in Tokyo, which I understand is awesome. She wants to see the original, though.

This afternoon the cats and I watched the first episode of the series Outlander, which shifts between 1945 and 1743 Scotland.  It's like Brigadoon without the songs or humor.  I doubt I will continue with it.

[elmore3003]

It is better than the MGM film of Brigadoon, however.

Stella and Thatch have been quite frisky today. She was just chasing him through the apartment and leaped onto my back.

[Jane]

Today is a sorting day for us, as well. This week we reduced from two cars to one. The DH is mostly retired, and I am working from home. With the pandemic, we're not going anywhere, so we decided to trade in my car. It's unbelievable how much stuff accumulates in the cars. We're going through and sorting out duplicate equipment and tools and glove box paraphernalia.  It's survival of the fittest!

Keith kept trying to get me to do that when we lived in Ashland and I refused.  I did agree to sell my car before we moved here.  At times it is a nuisance, or was before covid.  Overall I am glad I did it, especially these days. 

[Jane]

Well, that was interesting.

Lots of old people trying to figure out technology.

Luckily, I have done church on zoom and other meetings on zoom over the last several months. But some people were having a terrible time.

I feel bad for the people having trouble with it.

And see it through her son's eyes.  Next year it will be even more magical for him. 

[Jane]

I hope one day to be able to go with Freyja.

[singdaw]

My church is holding an all-member Zoom "order of business" meeting tomorrow (with voting). Should be pretty interesting.

[singdaw]

I feel bad for those for whom the technology is an obstacle.

I was just sorting through all the loose change between the cars. And thinking how rarely it is that I handle hard tender any more.

I read that as "between the ears."

[singdaw]

Touché, DR elmore3003.  I most definitely do have loose change between the ears!   

[singdaw]

Is Thatch back to normal, now?  No longer regarding you as the devil?

[singdaw]

Just got the August 2020 issue of Gramophone in the mail - not sure why the delay. I'd already received September and October some time back. In any case, a wonderful article on Bernstein's "Mass," and reviewing the various recordings available. The original still comes out on top.

DR Jane re: Costco

Can you just order the paper towels online and have them deliver it?  Here they have free shipping for orders over $75. And only $3 for any one item if you are under that. I did all my Costco orders online from March through the end of the summer.

DR ELMORE I love OUTLANDER.
