I always schedule it for the first appointment of the day, then go out for breakfast afterward.

I understand that the new season of The Crown is now available. I've also heard good things about The Queen's Gambit (about chess).

That is what we used to do, at least for Keith.  I still need the first appointment, however, I go home and nap.

BK, have you seen any of the other remakes of The 39 Steps?

I saw a locally produced four-person stage version and it was really good and well done.  It was funny, too...but mostly because of the staging with only four people.  The script was written to have only four actors, so it was deliberate.  It had a very successful run.

Monday morning greetings!  We received news late last evening that both our son and daughter-in-law tested NEGATIVE!

Thanks for the vibes and color me relieved.

Whew!!  Very good news, Ginny!

All is well. No problems detected. Doctor thinks I can wait 10 years before the next colonoscopy.

Thanks for all the vibes.

Whew!!  Very good news, too, John!

There's nothing quite like your first meal after you've had to go through that ordeal.

My friend Margo (who drove me) and I went to Dairy Queen. ;D

I will have to wait a little for that. i can't start taking my metformin again for another 2 days. So, I have to be careful.

A friend of mine loved it. It stars the woman who was in the new Emma. The one with the period in the title.

They never told me that I had to wait to start mine, again...at least, I don't remember them saying anything about that. :-\

For me it's a drive-through trip at Jack-in-the-Box for an Ultimate Cheeseburger.

To offer too much information, metformin can cause diarrhea, which can make things worse than or interfere with the prep.

A couple of chats ago we found out Freyja had two teeth.  I wasn't happy with them for not texting me immediately.  Everyone looked at me like I was nuts ;D

Yesterday I tried but failed to see her teeth.  I then asked for a photo.

Bryan texted me in the afternoon "We're torturing the baby trying to look in her mouth.  Do you really need a photo of her teeth?"  :))   Of course I said no.

Kate just sent me a very cute photo, of a happy baby with two bottom teeth showing.  I am now a happy Grammy.

Picked up stuff, then came home and made bow tie pasta (six ounces) with pink sauce, meat, and onions.  Very good - it may have only been five ounces, actually.  I've been listening to Bernstein/Mahler whilst doing other stuff.  Only one track left to do, which will get done in the morning.  Worked on project two a bit.  I'll do a few more things, then I'll watch something.

Watching Herzog's version of Nosferatu the Vampyre, aka the plague version. This movie isn't scary, but it sure is creepy. And brilliant. I haven't seen this in close to 40 years. But there are some images that have stuck with me all this time, images as disturbing and as mournful as those in the original.

Watching an early talkie version of Vanity Fair with Myrna Loy as Becky Sharp. It's not half bad, but it isn't half good either.

I heard from my cousin on the Isle of Man today.  They don't have any covid there.  Granted it is easier to shut down an island, still if anyone broke the covid rules they went to jail.  Guess what, no one is breaking them. 

The government is also giving a stipend if people need to quarantine, after returning home, in a location different from other household members.  That way not everyone had to quarantine. 

I want to go to the Isle of Man.
