My Word of the Moment: ghee. It's a form of clarified butter used in Indian cooking. And it's fun to say. Go on, try it! Ghee!
Speaking of which, when are you ever gonna take me out for some Indian food, Ashu? And how are you, by the way?
The drugs seem to be doing their stuff. I'm less the Ugly Snot Monster than I've been the past few days. I get tired and achy at night, though. I may have to bring TheraFlu with me to the show.
And speaking of which (again and differently), our music director is still unwell, and will be needing surgery. So we have our matinee sub back, except for the five performances he can't do. Then we'll have the sub's sub. Anyone need a diagram? I'd be happy to oblige.
So I stayed home today, and will tomorrow. And at about 2:45 this afternoon, our power went out. So much for anything ambitious I was considering attempting between bouts of rest. All I could do was...read. And clean a little. And realize how spoiled I am by gadgets and electricity. No microwaveable lunch. No radio, no tv. I actually had to answer the phone! Twice!
Placed my automated outage call to the power company (since they've apparently wised up and gotten tired of folks screaming at them) and waited. And waited. Nearly three whole hours of no internet access went by. I called again. "We apologize for your service outage due to emergency repairs in your area. We estimate that service will be restored by 9 p.m." 9 p.m.??? What the hell am I gonna do until then? Don't you know I'm sick? What kind of sick day will this be if I can't putz around online, watch bad game shows and talk shows and eat crappy food? Out came every candle in creation. (Might as well set them all up before nightfall.) On came the power fifteen minutes later. A one-woman Donner Party narrowly averted.
