Well, dear readers, we’re on a new server now, but there are still a few issues to conform that have to do with merging the discussion board and the form in which I post the notes, so those will be worked out and hopefully today. But the good news is, the board is up and running, the notes are there, and I can still use the form to post new notes. But until everything is merged properly, we won’t be fully in use of the new server’s much better security. Both main page and board were down for about two and a half hours. Otherwise, I got only about six hours of sleep due to tossing and turning and a brain filled with book things and other things, tumbling like laundry in a dry cleaner. I got up at noon-thirty, answered e-mails, ordered a sandwich, futzed and finessed quite a bit, then wrote a couple of new pages. Sandwich arrived and was average but fine. A Philly cheesesteak. Then I wrote a couple more pages, had a telephonic conversation, got a nice surprise Amazon gift card, ordered one batch of stuff for same day delivery plus a small Amazon Fresh same day – that will all come between ten and three today. I took a couch break, dozed off for just fifteen or twenty minutes, watched some irritating YouTube videos, and then the site and board came back up and from that point to now, only Singdaw, JohnG, and I came back, which I found really odd. Then I wrote about six more pages, and I want to do three more for sure after I post these here notes, so that would be eleven total and if I can go beyond that I certainly will. Less than 100 pages to go, most likely. Or close to that.
Today, I’ll try to be up by ten, I’ll futz and finesse, I’ll write new pages, I’ll eat something here, and then I just want to write as much as possible, with breaks and stuff in between. At some point, I might watch, listen, and relax.
Tomorrow is more of the same and so is Thursday, which also includes and much needed haircut, Friday, I have an early morning appointment with my doctor, then that evening we resume our show and play our third weekend. Speaking of our show, I thought I’d share some photographs. Here they come. Oops, here they don’t come. I guess that’s something that needs to get fixed. Can’t upload photos to the notes right now. I’ll save that for another day.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, try to be up by ten, futz and finesse, write, eat, write, have a few breaks, and maybe much later I’ll watch, listen, and relax. Today’s topic of discussion: While I enjoy the convenience of Amazon Fresh and Same Day and Instacart, I really do like going to the grocery store better. It feels much more personal, I like wandering around the market with a shopping cart and people watching. That began at a very early age with our two great local markets, Big Town and Daylight, and later, A&P. We don’t really have those kinds of markets anymore and I miss them. So, what were your favorite markets, do you miss the personal touch and the actual being there (for those who do the Amazon or Instacart thing), and what were your favorite parts of the market. Mine were the magazine and paperback section, the ice cream section, but most especially, the cheap LP sections. Your turn. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I hit the road to dreamland, happy we’re back up and running.
