Forgot to journal.
Spent about an hour flying the copter, kept it mostly under control, got some video selfies from it. That's a challenge because the controls expect the camera to be pointed ahead of the copter, so pointing it toward me means turn left = joystick right and turn toward me = joystick away from me. I'm not that coordinated, or maybe it's just that I've been practicing doing it the other way, my reaction is usually wrong.

Late lunch was crab. Spook love crab, but this time she was Herself®, refusing to even come close enough to take pieces out of my hand, and when I tossed a few in her direction she just stared at me. When I got up to get a drink refill, the pieces were gone when I returned.

Put on CFL football for background noise.

Went to the library to post an El Capitan flyer, and do my job search on the laptop. Also got a packet of sunflower seeds, and took 5 empty packets which I will fill with Bee's Friend seeds. Posted a flyer at the batcave Starbucks. The next two *$s my GPS found were in Safeways, neither of those had bulletin boards.

Home, watched some PTI and more CFL and catnapped until it was time to go to rehearsals.

Good rehearsal, we started where we left off Tuesday, and then did the whole show. Somehow we finished by 10 despite the director fiddling with blocking.

Received the final estimate for the paint job/landscape/carport steps. Just under $4k. Called the brokerage and asked for a check for $5k. Need the extra to help pay a credit card.

Mailed a zoom lens to Baltimore sister, who is an excellent photographer and finally got tired of carrying around two lenses.

Chatted with angry neighbors. Everyone is pissed off about the park's inconsistent, unpredictable inspection write-ups and the manager's insipid and flippant attitude.

Plans for tomorrow:
Some prep for the painting
Downtown Starbucks/Ingress
Rehearsal with orchestra.

The drugs I've been taking this week are working. One is TMI but the other had majorly lowered my BP, probably too much. Actually, it's probably the two combined.

Spook this morning curled up in a cat tree platform next to the bedroom window, first time she has done this. The tree has been there about a year.

Slept in.

Late breakfast of blueberries & HB egg.


Downtown Starbucks. The flyer was gone. It looks like they removed a few to draw some art, which has since been erased. I did not have a replacement on me. Pissed me off. Local event, non-profit at a high school. They left some less qualified flyers up.

Captured some portals on my way back to the car, but did not have enough stuff to make links for all of them.

Home, for the 45 minutes before go-to-rehearsal time. I could have gone from downtown, but (a) was dragging and (b) didn't want to be too early.

Good rehearsal with the orchestra, but they really needed to open the rear delivery doors after sundown. It was sweltering in there with 70 people.

Took my stand home and put it back in the shed. We move to the theater tomorrow, and they will have stands for us.

Dinner was a small Marie Calendar beef pot pie. I usually buy the big ones, but Lucky's was sold out. Strawberry popsicle and chocolate milk for dessert.

Plans for tomorrow:
Not sure about the day.
Dress rehearsal at about 7 pm
Downbeat at 8
