I had tickets to see Chicago last night with the moms, and I figured I felt OK enough to sit in a theater. It was showing at the new(ish) Hanover Theatre for Performing Arts in Worcester, which I’d never been to. It’s professional theatre without the hassle of getting into Boston. It’s very beautiful inside with big chandeliers like this one; whoever rebuilt it a few years back to a great job.
and by the way, the show was terrific!
lots of fabric
Though far from 100%, I was feeling better today; well enough to get out of the house and do a couple of things I’ve been meaning to do. Like go to the blinds/curtains place up the street and see what they’ve got.
and the answer is…everything. this is about 2/3 of the fabric books the very nice woman at the store brought me.
lots of waiting
Nothing like being on hold. Especially when you’re waiting to talk to your doctor. Who, by the way, I still haven’t heard from.
at least the hold music was OK.
lots of degrees
well, crap. here we go again: fever, aches, general discomfort, cough….yuk.
the big question of course is, is it pneumonia again, some random infection or….(insert dramatic music here) SWINE FLU!!?!?
lots of raccoons
OK, maybe three raccoons isn’t technically ” a lot” but it’s more than I usually see on any given morning. This picture is just of the two cubs (or kits); mom had already disappeared into the storm drain. Check out Doug’s page if you want to see a picture of her.
LOTS of herbs
A full five months into this project, and haven’t missed a day yet! But inspiration is getting harder to find, so this week I’m going with a theme. The theme is “lots,” as in “many” or “multiple.” For today, I’ve got a picture of lots and lots of herbs; everything from your basics to stuff you’ve never heard of. Fun, but overwhelming.
(too bad about the weather, huh.)
brunch
My friend Susan was in town this weekend, providing the rest of us an excellent excuse to get together for brunch at Johnny’s D’s in Somerville. Brunch is, in my opinion, the best meal of the week.
persian rug
I was out shopping, looking for a rug to go in the bathroom. I spotted these:
Clearly, they are made from Persian cats.
where’d it go?
About 30 seconds before I took this picture, I had taken another one in which you could see about 3/4 of this building, which is the third tallest in the city. Now, the building is nearly gone.
Makes me think of Stephen King’s great short story, The Mist. Read the story; don’t see the movie.
cat fleece
We have big pieces of fleece that we put on the furniture for the cats. when we have company, we remove it so our guests don’t get cat hair all over them (although most of our friends have cats of their own, so I guess it’s sort of a moot point). Anyway, we washed all of it, and Doug brought it upstairs and put it on the floor while he went to find something to put it in. It took Parker about 4 seconds to find it…
