Old Age Day by Day October 13, 2013

I hardly slept last night.  We watched the movie "Amadeus" and perhaps Mozart's music or the story or something disturbed me.  I was amazed I stayed awake at meditation this morning.  Then I shopped for while, all the time running on fumes.  I hope I sleep well tonight.  For the first time (we own the movie, so we've seen it a few times) I got why F. Murray Abraham won the Oscar instead of Tom Hulce.  I could see that it was Abraham's show, really, and he made it work.  Hearing snippets of Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute was sublime.  What a complete entertainment1

My husband took the dogs to the cabin for a day or two.  He was back and forth so many times about going that he nearly drove me crazy.  Since we are leaving Thursday to see our daughter, I couldn't imagine why he'd go, when he needed to get a haircut, pack and figure out a few things.  But his mind is a deeply mysterious thing, and living with him for four decades has not illuminated it much.  He had some kind of call to nature, I guess.

Tomorrow I'm getting my flu and shingles shot.  It's time.  I don't want to be caught unprepared.  At least, this way I'll be caught unprepared about something else.
