Timelies all!

Pizza order has been placed.

We ordered Indian from a place nearby, and it was really good. Yay.

Also, a nice neighbor stopped by with a hanging plant for our backyard, some cupcakes, and a lovely card! I was taking a nap, but DH spoke with her. So kind! We will reciprocate, of course, but how neighborly. Our landlords said she was a nice lady, and he was right. We might even have neighbors we can, like, invite over for dinner and stuff. Like people did in the olden days.

We had Chinese food for dinner, which was yum, and I have two days worth of yummy leftovers to look forward to!

Watched "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" which while fairly un-Easter-y was pretty damn good. (Cut to me saying "THAT was Viola Davis? Damn.")

Is Chadwick Boseman in that?

He is, Tep. [link]

That was a great movie! And my mom would love it. I wish I could get her to share my Netflix account, but she thinks it is immoral/illegal. I should probably just lie to her and say I bought it for her... Maria and I share, but we sort of pretend in our minds we are one household. She has Disney Plus and Time Warner, and I have Netflix and Hulu. And we both have prime.

My missing friend was found by his brother and is in the hospital. No further details, but I am so happy. It never has turned out well before. I guess we don’t know if it will turn out well, but he is found and alive!

And Maria’s mom’s dress will be delivered Monday, so maybe I will get to do a fitting. Which sounds terrible, except her mom really, really wants to look good, so I will do whatever it takes to make that happen.

It was Boseman's last movie and he was incredible in the part. Viola Davis is just amazing, and nearly unrecognizable. Impressive. I want to see One Night in Miami--for Aldis Hodge and Leslie Odom, Jr., both of whom I like a lot.

All this medical catch up has been a bit dizzying. I had to cancel a dental appointment tomorrow because I'm having cataract surgery. Wish my surgeon sharp eyes, steady hands, and no "Oops" es, please, along with any bit of ~ma you have lying around.

My second shot is exactly fifteen days before my rescheduled mammo. They tell me it can cause some random suspect things to show up in the images, but they said, since it's been postponed four months already, to come in and have it done--if necessary they can repeat.

Oh, that is such good news!

Good luck with all of that, especially the surgery, Beverly! I have heard great things from people post-cataract surgery.

Nice neighbors make such a difference.

Great news! Also, it is a wonderful thing you are doing for Maria's mother. Helping her in her final preparations brings her peace and comfort, which is priceless.

Eye~ma in abundance, Beverly. Like Jesse, I know many people who were so happy post surgery for cataracts.

I had cataract surgery a while ago. It's been a great improvement - I can now walk around without glasses most of the time, although I still need them for much reading and to drive legally. My doctor would only do one eye at a time, so I had a two-week period when I had real problems - the eye that had been operated on couldn't see with my old glasses and the eye that hadn't been operated on couldn't see without them. BUT ... in the end I ended up with better eyesight, so it was more than worth it. (I had a neighbor who saw me going around without glasses and kept asking me about Lasik ... and I had to explain each time that I hadn't had that, but a much more invasive operation that he wouldn't want until he actually needed it.)
