ismoI saw a meme on Facebook where they posit that you've been kidnapped, and need to be rescued by the people in the last TV show you watched. I was happy to think of being rescued by Season 6 of The Great British Bake-Off. I think Mel and Sue could rescue me handily, with help from Paul and Mary, plus Ian, Nadiya, Tamal, the other Paul (he used to be a Royal Marine, after all), Mat, and Flora. And then there would be cake! Other shows I watched recently include Discovery of Witches and the new Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah. Any or all of them could have rescued me very well, but then I'd have to make my own pastries.
Yesterday I visited the dentist, and it laid waste to the rest of the day. It was only a cleaning, and I hate to be so fragile, but some sessions are worse than others, and this was one of the worse. Being upside down, in pain, and trying not to choke for an hour just takes the stuffing out of me sometimes. My hygienist is a sweet person, but she is just so goshdarn THOROUGH. I know it's for my own good, but it hurts. My gums hurt all day, and I had a headache. I called Queenie and worked on my inventory of the past, but otherwise didn't get much done.
Then I slept, or did not sleep, horribly, and woke up feeling like crap. I went to see Madame, because as it turns out, her surgery was canceled so she was available. I did laundry, made soup, and had a Zoom with a friend. This would have been my mother's 95th birthday. I have been enjoying NOT having to drive anywhere during the snow times, but today, the air was fresh and springlike, and I wish I could have driven down to her residence to bring her cake and flowers and make her feel special. And so we begin and end with cake.
