The external drive I had my films on went CLONK and nothing. I managed to find them on the backup drive and restore to a small WD Elements drive. Still HDD though.

Dorothy, that's good about the book. I imagine there's something in the ink or glue that's troublesome.

I found a 30% off code for yesterday on Zenni so ordered another pair of photosensitive glasses. My current pair is scratched (not bad, but I notice it) so I'll wear these for yard and construction type work. The good thing about having the cataract surgery is that multiple pairs won't go out of date with the next optometrist visit - there is no correction in either lens, just the 2.00+ bifocal added. So I can have several pairs that won't become obsolete. Hoping this stays the norm for a long time. I enjoy changing the look of my glasses for some occasions. They're more like jewelry now, or a hair clip. An accessory.

I just revisited the thread I started re: Sondheim and ended up traveling down a very deep YouTube musical dive. I suspect many of us will end up doing that. I finally landed on a documentary about the Travelling Wilburys. :)

This afternoon needs to be a writing afternoon, but I'll make a list of the things I want to accomplish this week and see how to pace myself. I've taken a Sudafed (allergens of some sort are in the air) and am feeling perkier than yesterday, when I ended up taking two naps.

Charmion as far as Brussels sprouts, I know some members of my family have picked them up as a dish to serve on Thanksgiving, but it isn't one I grew up with. I like them ok, they're another cruciferous vegetable that is good for you. They just seem a little fussy to cook. :)
