SATURDAY

When I got up, I discovered the Internet was down. Called Yondoo Communications, but it seemed it wasn't okay on their end. Tried the T.V. and that was off, too. I left them and had breakfast with an old-fashioned communication source--the daily newspaper. 

Amber picked me up at 8:45 and off we went to rehearsal. My knee was somewhat better, but not perfect and I used the cane throughout. Everybody was very solicitous, but I get self-conscious.  I know my colleagues in the cast are not thinking, "helpless old lady with a cane"--it's just me and I shouldn't put thoughts into other peoples' heads. 

Anyway, it was a good session. I did my cowgirl verse and got my part in the little playlet Amber is writing. I play "Rosemary" (I could make up a character's name, but why? I kind of like to have my own name there), whom Bob is dating. Bob's grown son, Jonathan, is very upset over the fact he's dating me, as I was his Sunday School teacher. I think it's a cute idea, and it will get more re-writing and so on. Here's Bob, my "shomance," who has actually made a living through acting since right out of college:

Bob Telford has an IMDB page, too: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0854360/. He's been in many T.V. shows, minor films, and commercials. 

BTW, he's sixteen years younger than I am. 

Home at 12:30 and the Internet was still down, so I called my computer expert, Ellen, and she walked me through the fix, as she's done many times before: power down laptop, unhook plug from wall, wait five minutes, re-plug, wait three minutes, then power up. Happy day--it worked!

Called Noreen to see if she could meet for lunch today. Yep, for a late one, as she goes to church, and I'll see her at 1:30 today. Made my lunch and took it out to the middle to eat in the California sunshine. Mostly lazed around the rest of the afternoon. 

Happy day--I got up this morning and have no hint of soreness in my knee--YAY!

rnet was still down; I couldn't remember how to fix it, so called my girl, Ellen. She told me about unplugging, plugging, waiting five minutes, then three minutes, and so on and so forth, and it worked. Made my lunch, took it and my book out to the middle and relaxed and e n the sun.
