CORDELIA REVISITED

Saw Brideshead Revisited. I was disappointed that Cordelia, the character to whom I could relate most, had such a small part in this version.

WEEK 34

Well, I made it through the wedding ok. And my birthday. No one killed anyone. Thursday evening I was schlepping a big bag up Connecticut Avenue in the heat. A homeless guy in a wheelchair told me I looked tired.

WEEK 32

Well, I made it through another week. J commented that I’ve worked EVERY SINGLE DAY of the last pay period. Yet somehow I made I through. Somehow. For some reason there is always something to keep me going – a surprise phone call, an e-mail, a cheque….

WEEK 31

An "A-ha" moment. Well, kinda. D, who is one of the nicest people I know, sez her mother gives piano lessons, but not to everyone. There are some kids she refuses to teach, unfortunately, because their parents are such asswipes.

Sooo, I don't have to massage every asswipe who wants a massage. I feel sorry for doctors, or paramedics, or cops who are OBLIGED to help every asswipe who asks for it.

It's Friday. Need I say more?
