Timelies all!

Hugs for all who want/need them.

Ugh. It's been almost two hours since we ordered Chinese for dinner. Gary just called the restaurant and they said it's on the way. Getting hangry....

And also went into a Sondheim rabbit hole. Wow was he good.

My YouTube rabbit hole has consisted entirely of Into the Woods. I keep meaning to move on to another musical (say, Sweeney Todd), but Into the Woods is so goddamn perfect.

Yikes Tom. Sorry it was like that instead of a gleeful “omg I’m so glad they are not me”

Laura that sucks mightily. I hope things turn around.

I had pie for breakfast and it was delicious. The friend I’m staying with raises service dogs so we went to a dog meetup where a bunch of them played together and my dog managed to behave himself and play too. Yesterday we took them to the beach and it was pretty awesome except for the whole “dog covered in sand” part.

Into the Woods was pretty perfect, but I jus love A Little Night Music as a pre-cursor to it. It is sort of less than perfect in the same way Into the Woods is perfect.

I'm glad he lived so long and had such a full life. Years ago, when they renamed a theater on Broadway for him, he was so emotional and grateful. He was always open to his work being revised and transformed, and never precious about his art. He taught me a lot.

I discovered that the batteries in my thermostat were low & luckily I had some triple As. I’m hoping this solves my chilly apartment problem.

I had so much food yesterday that I didn’t feel hungry til this afternoon. Since I got home from work I’ve been grazing on leftovers.

I am a shell of my former self

Sophia, I'm sorry for this. If a hug would help/be welcome, you have it.

I just heard and immediately thought of Dana.

Me too.

I'm sure you saw that exchange with LMM where he acknowledged Sondheim's mentoring, which Stephen said was something he owed to Oscar Hammerstein. Very sweet and powerful.

Thanks amyparker. I am accepting of the hugs. I burnt my keto stuffing so I can’t take it with me (but the innards are still pretty good and sagey. I think of little house on the prairie books, and Mary and Laura fighting about sage or onion dressing, and I can have both!

I am very sorry that this entire pandemic and world has hit so hard for you, Sophia. It is my sincere wish that life becomes full and whole again soon.

I totally forgot to make my keto stuffing!! I was not feeling well and should have looked at my menu rather than my memory. I had the ingredients but it didn't happen. I'll make it in the next couple days. I surely have leftover turkey. I am going to take the turkey and put it in 3 oz bags then in one bigger bag for the freezer. 3 ounces is a serving for me and 6 for him so easy to take out and put on salads or whatever. (DH makes me crazy with his weighing foods. I am 7 months in and much more casual.) The cauliflower mash and cauliflower "mac" n cheese leftovers will probably be consumed today. Pumpkin cheese cake was history after this morning's breakfast.

Another lazy day planned for me. DH has been spending a lot of hours at basketball practice so junk tv and reading books on my schedule.
