T said yesterday that sleep apnea is the new new thing, I said I thought acid reflux was the new thing and he said acid reflux is so last year. Well I was reading a magazine and there was an issue advertisement for isitreallydepression.com and here are the symptoms for bipolar disorder – hmmm, me thinks I have it: Has there ever been a period of time when you: felt so good or so hyper…
It’s not easy staying positive when the odds are against you – I told G to quit reading the Times Picayune since it was full of bad news and told her I was going to start my own paper filled with hopeful news – she called me Rachel Stroup after that Sheila Stroup woman who writes from the Xanax suburbs of New Orleans – I was trying to input a ton of stuff into the…
You know that adage about men that they all think “if I can’t fuck it, kill it” – well: I brought the flashing and the primer to the LaLa and K said he had decided not to do the roof.
My first husband used to build boats with Dave Sintes – I went over to get marine primer for the windows in the bathroom and across from his boat place is his brother’s place. The whole ground floor is makeshift tables with stuff they salvaged from the storm. Upstairs did not get flooded, and that is where most of the retail clothes and what not lives, but Stevie, the son, said yeah, we didn’t get…
I went by Twickler’s this morning to get some flashing and he said that he drove out to Chalmette and was disheartened by everything he saw – “whole strip malls and corners that were once vibrant and bustling are dead” “the Corrugated company with building after building, it’s all nothing now” “inside there used to be machines and rolls and rolls of aluminum, now there is nothing” “one guy is sitting at a desk with…
G called and said “guess who is on my lap?” – she has captured and shampoo’d the Chihuahua and named her Tess and I went by to see her and she is cute and sweet. One Katrina dog saved.
What a gloriously delicious morning – there is barely any humidity and it is slightly overcast with a gentle breeze blowing. Arlene and I walked around the bayou and were pretty much by ourselves. L’s ex has the dogs, so he wasn’t out and N and Renny were no where to be seen. Crossing the footbridge I saw B with Taylor, she was very chatty last night at Sip but I was pretty much reserved,…
I was in a celebratory mood last night having made the decision to rob Rachel to pay Rachel, but in the end I came home a little wistful from my attempt to celebrate. S called late in the evening and talked about his first day on the job, which was fraught with all the hesitation and optimism that perhaps a first day on the job would have. Afterwards, I spoke with L and we caught…
I went over to Sip tonight for Sip and Spin (it was eclectic mix of wines and a lot of nice old Frank Sinatra spinning) and I sat in the window and watched the goings on. I had just missed TL who said he was going to bed at 8:30 tonight having not gotten any sleep last night – I said welcome to my world. G was out of with B. And none of the…
