It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Oh no and it said he had a "brief and poignant journey" with Lewy Body Dementia and Alzheimer's.

Yeah, I read that. I had no idea (not that public figures owe anyone details on their medical conditions; I feel like I know too much about Bruce Willis, for instance). That's really sad.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I hope it was very brief.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sad about Patrick Stewart but I'm glad they were able to do the Picard series which seemed to wrap a bow on his legacy.

I spent a whole morning turning OFF the power, and wi-fi and parking at Emmett's old apartment and turning ON the trash pickup and wi-fi at the new place.

But I forgot to turn ON the power at the new place. And the old owners just turned off the power. So I just spent an hour with PGE to get it turned back on. Not to complain - that's all on me and PGE was quickly responsive and it went smoothly.

I want a gold star for toddling downtown for a medical appointment and got both my Covid and my first Shingles shot. I put off the flu shot for the moment because (a) I didn't want to get three at once and (b) I'd been putting off the Shingles for no reason and was probably pushing my luck.

Unfortunately they forgot to tell me to fast before they did my bloodwork so....I'll have to go back for that.

Since I was already downtown I walked over to Chinatown and had won ton soup with brisket for lunch. Cheap! Yummy!

Anyway, my arm is sore, and I dealt with a utility today so I will be rewarding myself with a treat.
