November 2019... Share YOUR day...

As planned, we went to see "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Tivoli. The theatre was smaller than I had imagined with just 530 seats, but had been beautifully restored.

Absolutely fantastic production. It was given a modern setting with Jesus in slacks and T shirt, with Judas wearing a leather jacket. Caiaphas and the other officials wore military style uniforms while King Herod appeared as a rather camp businessman surrounded by scantily clad dancing girls. Great singing and dancing with live music from a 10 piece band. Very well worth seeing.

Back at home, we've been clearing leaves off the garden and generally tidying up.

Off again to see "Cabaret" on Thursday. After a cultural break over the summer, we've had great end to the year.
 

Finally discovered what a good deal of my tiredness was coming from-a medicine I should not be prescribed because it's very, very bad for the liver (I googled it and it can be brutal on the liver). Anyhow I quit taking it and feel some more energy now, thank God. Stupid doctors should be more careful in what they prescribe! The doctor who prescribed it knew I have cirrhosis. Looks like I have to oversee everything the doctors prescribe. I will do that from now on.

Was up late into the morning hours. The only thing I took for sleep was melatonin and I slept okay--I tend to have sleep problems.

Got my delivery from Aldi's on time today:) and am glad for that as the last two times before they were really late and didn't even show up one of the times. So now I have all the food I need for the next week or so. I am managing well with these deliveries. I'm so glad delivery is an option.

I hope all who read this have a good day and a wonderfully blessed week!

Had a good day. Did some raking leaves away from the house...my neighbor then runs his mulcher over them.
Later I went to one of our Goodwill donation centers to drop off a bag of Rick's books. He was not a reader, but had a lot of those coffee table type books about Military History, lots of pics. Books about Subs, planes, different wars, guns and stuff. I would guess they would all make great Christmas gifts.
I guess a lot of people had the same idea as me. There were two cars ahead of me at the donation center (it was one of those where the guys come out and help you unload your car) and by the time I was done, there were two more cars behind mine,
 

Well worked on the truck most of the day, And it doesn't really seem like an oil problem, but more of a fuel problem. Ordered a new Fuel Pump Driver for $89 from Amazon... When it gets here, I will put it in, and see if the problems stop. If that's not the problem, that would have been the next problem. So time will tell...Keep you in the loop...
 
Good Night Or wait is it Good Morning...

Well at the moment we are receiving snow... We are expecting 10 cms... Which isn't a lot, but more than I ever want... Well, today is breakfast day with the boys. Yesterday I finally got the summer equipment put away for the winter, and worked in the shop for a few hours... Not a lot else to report... I hope YOU all have a GREAT Tuesday... God Bless YOU all....

This morning my close friend,Marcia and I are going grocery shopping at a store I've been in once.She had given me a gift card for Xmas last yr
I may take a couple walks if the sidewalks are shoveled which weren't when I went out on my early walk at 6:30a
 
Trying hard to keep us all warm, especially the birds. Taped up the cover over the AC again. It was leaking lots of cold air. The tape only holds down to a certain temp. so I put a different kind of tape on over that and it seems to be holding so far. The front window is leaking lots of air. I thought I would have more time to put the plastic up and didn't realize it was going to get so cold so fast. I probably won't be able to put the plastic up unless the temp. outside goes up to the 50s. Opening up the blinds to put plastic on would only make a lot of cold air pour into the living room. My remedy has been to put the heat up real high in the apt. Thankfully the birds are up high on a stand and I moved them inward more so the cold from the front window doesn't affect them. Been putting lots of covers over them at night. I also have been using the space heater at times when it gets windy outside and the air really comes in from the window. Oh wow, this has been a nightmare!
 
Good Morning Ladies, and Gents...
Hmmm Thursday already, and just realized I didn't pop in here yesterday... Strange... Anyhow, got more snow last night... Just wonderful... Not as much as we got the other day, but it's still snow... Well, I believe the truck is fixed... Got the new part from Amazon yesterday, took 10 minutes to put it in... Started, kept running, doesn't seem to have any oil issues... Took it for a run up the highway and back. Engine light is on, but think I just have to reset the computer now... (today's job)But that probably saved me a few hundred dollars at the garage...Not a lot else... But I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... and God Bless YOU all...

I've had to curtail getting my 3 daily walks in this week,been taking it easy
A couple days ago when we had our 8 inch snowfall event,I went out on my early morning walk around 6:45.As usual some of the sidewalks were not shoveled,including the ones in front of my apt bldg.I didn't see a patch of ice,I slid but didn't fall. I did something to my left knee,I can bend it back, but its stiff &sore,thinking I pulled something while catching myself.I took Aleve last night which helped a bit
I have dr's appt on Mon at 9 hoping its nothing serious
 
Last Saturday, we saw Jesus Christ, Superstar and I wish we had seen that after Cabaret. Superstar was a true musical - a story told in music and song. It was loud, dynamic and had phenomenal raw energy from start to finish.

Cabaret was slick and professional, but switched between drama, pathos, side-splitting comedy and very 'dark' episodes. The cast were exceptional, but the "up and down" mood of the show didn't grab and hold you in the same way as Superstar. It had a very bleak ending as the cast went naked into the gas chamber.

Yes, I wish I had seen it before Superstar - that would have ended our theatre year on a high note. Still, lots to look forward to in 2020.

Back to the real world and had a load of hardwood logs delivered. They're quite wet, but I won't be burning them till next winter so they should be well seasoned by then.
 
Well again, awake, and not able to sleep... Very strange some days... Last night, and this morning, I slept for almost 15 hours, tonight I can't sleep... and Ii worked outside yesterday, so you would think that would do it... But NOPE... Anyways, just checking in... Nothing really new here, but the truck is still running, so that must have been the problem... Anyways... Hope YOU all have a GREAT Sunday... and God Bless YOU all...
 
This morning,a church friend picked me up as usual,went to our early church service at 8:15
The rest of the day read the local paper,took 1 short walk around the apt complex just to get some fresh air.
I've been 'stir crazy' not being able to take my long walks because of my left knee being a bit stiff.I can bend it all the way back,I think I pulled a tendon when I slipped on unshoveled walk a couple days ago.I have a dr's appt tomorrow at 9
 
Good Morning Kids... Nothing to report tried to sleep yesterday, but wasn't able to...Think it's suppose to warm up a degree or two today, that would be nice... Anyways Peeps... Hope we all have a great day... God Bless YOU all...
