We went to eat at Asian Cajun – well we started there and then went to Jacquimo’s but it was 45 mins so back to Asian Cajun and the food was not that great even though we had a recommendation to go there – they were nice enough – but still – then we went to this bar called 1088 that L had been to before – it was nice but also not happening so…
At the Parkview with the gang and Manny walks by and J, of course, recognizes him having interviewed him for nolafugeees.com and M comes over and N tells me his mayoral running slogan in 2002 was “a troubled man for troubled times” – and now post-Katrina it is “more trouble than before” – anyway he got a lot of votes and plans to keep running.
A reporter writes that his wife received an email yesterday that said Happy Yom Kippur – really? – to know a Jew is to know that most major holidays are about suffering – and fasting from sundown to sundown is not a joyous occasion – particularly when you are doing it because you believe that on this day God opens the Book of Life and decides who will live and who will die, who will…
Thursday, late afternoon the Bean went in and it was determined she has airborn allergies and needs to be on steroids to get it under control. Dr. Ghere said it makes her itch on the inside – an itch all the scratching in the world can’t satisfy and it makes her tear her hair out. I thought, oh my, I know that feeling. Last night, met L for dinner at Lola’s, our MidCity Spanish restaurant…
Foam polyurethane insulation in the ceiling of the addition – should I spend the money to do it in the attic of the main house? Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no. No one knows. Sand blast the bathroom windows to make them opaque but why didn’t K finish the marine based primer on the inner sashes – do it now, or regular primer. Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no. Maybe. Mahogany windows that No Design…
Yesterday morning, the J-man was twirling around the house like his pants were on fire because I came early before he left for school to watch Abby so her mom could have an hour to herself. As Abby slept in my arms and the J-man rode his bike and licked his waffle, I watched the harried look on M and L and later sent them a note saying, from the inside it may look overwhelming,…
Since this funk seems to want to settle in around me, I’m taking all measures to knock it back down. The foot doctor told me today that I need to have my foot operated on – I told him, well, it will have to wait because I have three races coming up and I’m going to run them. So after a half marathon in February, I will get the operation. Then the LaLa – nobody…
Last night, we were talking about this weird stage some of us are entering as women – for years there has been this monthly cycle that begins at ovulation, which is the peak, then begins this steady drop off – imagine a roller coaster at the top coming down, and on the way down there is a sharp point where you are so horny you can’t uncross your legs, then you are so hungry you…
N called early and woke me up to walk the dogs – I put a long sleeved shirt on – incredible! I told her my running buddy might be going away – she knows what that’s like having lost T pre-Katrina to Korea. Meanwhile I told her about the elaborate dream I had last night – having this run of bizarre winding dreams – my younger brother and sister and I were going to take…
