Been on the phone for an hour with bureaucratic city office worker nightmares who are clueless and unhelpful AND who are making plans for lunch with co workers while on the phone with me.

Some crackhead pulled a bunch of plants out of the planter boxes at the cafe - left the root balls intact but snapped the main stem right off so there's just a bunch of stubs.

My morning cook's nephew was shot and killed in a drive by yesterday. I just found him downstairs crying.

And he won't go home, says it'll only make him feel worse. I feel so bad for him.

yucky, icky, sucky day.

Maybe they should have lunch at your place. Sorry about your day.

I'm breaking out in hives. All I have eaten today is yogurt so WTF is causing it??

Stress can. Happened to me once when I first started practicing law, then I learned not to keep it all bottled up. Go ahead and try letting it out, go tell a co-worker to fuck off.

And then go have an ice-cold martini, right?

Yes Doctor.

This evening I have a 4-hour dress rehearsal in an unairconditioned church.

It's always something.

I want to say, "Dear God," but clearly that's the wrong thing.

How awful, though.

Are you rehearsing anything pertaining to the fires of Hell?

Not an annoyance, but my father is in the hospital for some unknown ailment (probably a tick bite but not Lymes). He is feeling better and on a stream of antibiotics, but...

Sorry to hear that, N. Even if it isn't Lyme, some of the other tick-borne illnesses can be nearly as insidious. Hope he recovers soon.

Thanks, GG. Spoke with him and they shall be releasing him this afternoon. Counting my blessings...

A succession of minor illnesses felling first one child and then the other is annoying enough, but now it's my turn and I can't go to Merce Cunningham tonight and lunch at the Ledbury tomorrow is looking very doubtful.

They're doing work right outside my window and running some kind of machine that makes a horrible screaching noise every 20 seconds or so.

And to think it's finally nice enough to open a window.

On subject of sick children, I am sure mother's ferocious hand with the AC is giving my daughter a dry hacking cough. What's the best way to reintroduce a little humidity to the environment while keeping it cool enough to sleep?

At least you are not in the throes of having the halls in your apartment building "redecorated" for the past 7 weeks. This process so far consists of enormous amounts of endless sanding which sends equally enormous amounts of dirty grit under my door so that my cats, who spend the sanding hours cowering in a closet, may track this crap all over, especially all over my black needlepoint rug.

Just saying.

That's actually what we used in the winter to help Peanut over her bronchiolitis.
