Well, you've read the notes, the notes were an ordeal, and now it is time for you to post until the ordeal cows come home.

BK, that's a great picture of you and Billie Hayes.

bk, I'm sorry yesterday was so horrid.

It sounds like things will be all right in the end, but what a trial. And a costly one.    {{{hugs}}}

The capper would have been if the facility hadn't had a fourth unit to rent.  I am glad that did not come to pass.

I finally decided to try to do something concrete about the inner tube.

I joined Noom (a psychologically-driven weight loss app). I've been at it for a little less than a week.

So far, I'm down 8 pounds.

My worst move was July 13, 1980, when I moved into this apartment from 200 West 94th Street. Three or four friends from The Drama Book Shop helped me, and I rented a small U-Haul van from 23rd Street, as I recall. It was a hot and humid day, and as I carted things from the van and wiped the sweat from my eyes, I kept thinking, Jesus, it's a hot day.

The next day I learned the temperature was over 100 degrees F. If I had known that on Sunday, I would have simply lay down in front of the van and said, just drive over me.

Last night I had a dream about Bram Stoker's Dracula. I don't know now if I were in the dream or watching a movie, but it was very frightening.

I am tired from just reading BK's account of the day.

Leaving aside the fact that I awoke two hours early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. A nap just might be in order today.
