It's my birthday today and I'm going to the pool to sit in the hot tub and get away from the friggin' noise around here. Jim gave me a reckoning this morning. There's a lot still to do and the $$ has dribbled away. What to do now? I talked with my bookkeeper and she said to hang tight. Ok, and then hold up a bank.

However the plumber is here (in her Mercedes but who's noticing that?) and her helper who has a bit of 'chaw' in his mouth. Blech.

Remind me. Never ever do this again. Never. Again.

Meanwhile, I gotta figure out the kitchen because it is not good. As in ynet. Nada. Dreck. Ptooey. Etc. Right now I need a fairy godmother to leave a large bag of cash on my doorstep. And I'll keep the faith that when I need the dough, it will somehow magically appear.

Anxiety is so unpleasant. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. My lifelong friend, mental hand-wringing.

I would like a cocktail and a nice dinner tonight. I just might take myself out for that. And my sangha is tonight so maybe I'll take a cake and celebrate. My party is Saturday with my friends.

Ok, off to the pool for a lackadaisical swim and a hot tub with the folks.

Lordy.

Oh, Beth! How I wish I could make you a cake, not to mention a cocktail!
Anxiety is the worst and may the cash somehow, yes, magically appear. The birthday fairy, perhaps?
Sending much love from Lloyd to you on this anniversary of your birth.
I am so glad you were born.
