Theater tonight ❤️ Very poignant that the 1st play I see after leaving Peru is the work of a friend & his husband. And it’s great work. Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson is fantastic & this is its last week at Portland Center Stage. Highly recommend! & if it comes to your city, GO. Viva el teatro 🎭
Five photos in one frame including the program cover and inner credits page of the one-person show “Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson” (written and performed by Chris Grace and directed by Eric Michaud), the marquee for the show on a lamppost outside the theater, and a photo of Chris Grace and I (male of Chinese descent with short black hair in a green sweater and white female with longish brown curly hair wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a blue floral print).

This is our makeshift menorah for this year. We are not where we planned on being and in the midst of intense family medical care abroad having recently moved into a new apartment without most of our belongings. I came to really love our makeshift menorah.
A rectangular serving tray a green flower pattern and a makeshift menorah of yellow tea lights set on top in the pattern of a menorah with the “shamash” on the right in a clear glass tea light holder, with the rest of the tea lights arranged on a rectangular piece of tinfoil. The candles are all lit for the 8th night of Hanukkah. The tray is set upon a round glass dining room table.

Sunset (a beautiful pink diffused all across the cloud-covered sky) above the tops of apartment and office buildings in Lima, Peru. There are two signs in the bottom left corner of the photo. One is a lit-up yellow sign with green writing: Tai Loy (an office supply and craft store chain). The other is a billboard with a soft yellow background and purple can of beer an purple writing: Cusqueña: Quinua / Regresó por tiempo limitado (back for a limited time).

My favorite thing I've read today.
♥️🙌🏻
The Paris Review's latest Instagram post: a quote from Wallace Shawn's interview. "I wrote another play, and nobody liked it. And then another. But still, I thought, These people are crazy, I'm going to devote my life to theater." Spanish translation: Escribí otra obra y a nadie le gustó. Y luego otro. Pero aun así pensé: Esta gente está loca, voy a dedicar mi vida al teatro.

I am voice & movement coach (& overall facilitator for my husband/director–whose health declined prior to rehearsals–w/ his son as co-director) for his production of The Cherry Orchard. 1st work I’ve been able to do in yrs. Hard, but a labor of love–for my husband, the theater, the team, & myself.
Me, viewed from the right (white woman with dark brown, shoulder length hair, with a few white strands visible). I am seated in a blue sweater, with a plays-script and notebook on my lap, and a pen in one hand, and one arm outstretched, giving notes to an actor (who is out of the shot). Sitting to my right, more out of focus in the shot, is my husband. He is wearing gray jacket and prescription lenses and is looking toward the conversation I’m having with the actor, to help explain the direction he is giving the actor, which I helped him prepare beforehand, so that I would be clear about what he wanted to convey. A group shot on the stage of the cast, in costume, and core production team of El jardin de los cerezos at the Centro Cultural de la PUCP in Lima, Peru. It is a screenshot if one of the actors’ Instagram stories in which he asked folks for comments. The question above the photo is “Did you already see it? Tell me how it was.” The comment below that says, “Simply wonderful-of the best that I’ve seen this year!!” The text at the bottom reads “I’m back with more comments because we only have three shows left. And, well, if you’ve already seen this wonderful play, it’s due to the great team behind the scenes, too.”

So many new folks:) Love to see it. Welcome!

Truth? This has been the worst week of my life (almost lost my husband to chronic illness/complications–we’re still in the hospital.)

Grateful to this space for the reminder: life can destroy you, but there is always more of it out there for the taking.
A folded t-shirt colored charcoal with the words “thankful & grateful” written in script–there are two pink hearts on either side of the “&” — the shirt is on a gray blanket spread on a simple daybed. To the left of the shirt is a pillow with a white pillowcase. On the corner are the words “Clinica Anglo Americana” in dark blue with an insignia on the left (a white medical cross in a blue circle with a decorative border). Sunlight and shadows coming through the window fall onto the bed, pillow, and t-shirt.

I need to get up. And yet…
Bird’s eye view of myself, seated cross-legged on a wooden floor. My pajama bottoms are black with white snowflakes throughout and a portion of the bottom part of a forest green sweatshirt). Very settled on my lap is a black and gray female tabby cat.

At the theater tonight to check on "the baby" :)
Flyer for a Spanish-language production of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. The full cast in costume is pictured in a group posed photo. In the background are the backstage prop shelves with some dried grass bunches, a guitar, a furry slipper and part of a cream colored shawl.amd part of a white hat box.

If you see this post a bridge. #photography

(God, I love that bridge.)
A view of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco beyond a group of trees of different shades of green. The land mass that is Marin County begins on the opposite side of the bridge. It is a beautiful clear day, blue sky, blue water.

Yes. This will solve all of the problems.
On a black, gray and white speckled kitchen countertop, there is a black and silver 12-cup drip coffee maker having just percolated a couple cups. In front of that is an orange and red horizontally-striped ceramic mug with a teaspoon in it.

I feel you, girl. It’s been a week.
Selfie of myself (white female with brushed out medium length brown hair), wearing a forest green sweatshirt, sitting on a beige sofa. On my left is my cat, gray and white female tabby, somewhat face planted and deeply asleep on a soft gray blanket with a purply and white throw pillow on the other side. My gaze is towards her by way of looking at the camera screen.

Al teatro esta noche. “Maria Estuardo” by Dacia Maraini. I wanted to get out for a bite before the show & remembered this spot a couple blocks from the theater. They’ve remodeled it (many places did in Lima during the pandemic) & now have a great patio. There is no one else out here now. Perfection.
Patio of an ice-cream parlor/cafe in Lima called “4D.” The camera points downward at an angle at my table where there is an Americano and a falafel wrap on a plate. There are a few empty tables beyond me. On the right are 3 sets of modern French doors that are open and lead to the inside of the restaurant. Hedges line the border of the end of patio with a slight glimpse of the tops of the cars and some buildings in the background of the street beyond.

I’m already disappointed in myself for the choice I’m about to make here instead of just DEALING WITH ALL OF THE PHOTOS ALREADY.

Lima’s flirting HARD today.

View of my legs outstretched with ankles crossed as I’m seated on the ground. I’m wearing blue-gray casual pants and blue socks with blue sneakers. My left hand rests on my left thigh and my gold wedding ring is visible. Sun-dappled grass with the shadows of tree branches encompass the rest of the frame of the photo.

‘What?’
Black, gray and white female tabby nestled in the crease of a gray soft blanket with her paws outstretched and crossed, gazing upward toward the camera.

Finally got to the bookstore close-by w/ books in English (yes, I can read in Spanish, but it’s hard times & I don’t have the brain energy for it). This was, pretty much, the only option for me within the selection they had. So, despite ongoing fatigue & caregiver overwhelm…gonna give it a go.
A hardcover copy of the novel Tom Lake by Ann Patchett, resting on my lap. There’s a round, glass coffee table in the background with a cup of tea on a coaster.

Teatro en Lima. Checking in on our production tonight. I know, I know. “What production? Who’s “our?”’ It’s either going to be a book unto itself one day or I’ll post about it all at some point. It’s been an absolutely gut wrenching 6 months. But we’re still alive and so is the theater in Perú.
Marquee poster for a production of Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard (El jardín de los cerezos) in front of the PUCP Cultural Center in Lima, Perú. The image is of two nuclear reactors with thick pink smoke billowing put of one of them into a gray cloudy sky.

I’ve been very dysfunctional on here the past few months (too much health-related stuff going on at home). Nonetheless, finally figured out what that party hat was for. Bluesky elder here, I guess. Turned 50 this month, too. Rock on.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #342,649!

I got back to Peru after 4 1/2 years of “pandemic/family illlness-exile” and the first thing I ate was:
Granadilla; passion fruit with an orange shell, partially ripped off so the seeded, gelatinous fruit on the inside can be eaten directly with a spoon.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

I think this is it ($ earned vs. gifted). Pearl Jam: Ten (CD). Ted Cole’s Music Shop. Salem, MA. Heard “Alive” on the radio once. Had time & the family car. It was a gorgeous, sunny day. Decided: I’m going out to buy this band’s album now.
Album cover for Pearl Jam: Ten The band members’ hands are clasped together above their heads. Only their forearms and hands are visible, with one hand pointing its finger upward. The band name is written above in the background.

If you want an eye opening look into the world of medicine/medical device safety, and some perspective and appreciation for everything that goes right most of the time, all you have to do is subscribe to the FDA drug and medical device recall list serves.
FDA email announcement text: CDRH Medical Device Recall Vyaire Medical, Inc. Recalls AirLife Manual Resuscitators due to Risk of Injury or Death Vyaire Medical, Inc. is recalling certain AirLife manual resuscitators for a manufacturing defect that could lead to injury or death. Using the recalled resuscitators could result in patients not receiving enough ventilation. In some cases, patients may not receive any ventilation. Patients who don’t get adequate ventilation may not be able to properly exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide (hypoventilation) or they could experience a dangerous drop in blood oxygen (hypoxia). These conditions can lead to serious injury or death. The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries or death. Questions? If you have questions about this recall, contact Vyaire Medical, Inc. at productquality@myairlife.com.
