I told him I cannot have stress about this at this point and at my age. Hopefully, he will get this done although he's not the one actually doing it - he just gets it to the design team, who's only job with my books is to insert the ISBN numbers on the already formatted copyright page, and then to assemble the dust jacket and the softcover spine and front and back cover. That's it.

I REALLY don't want to get up at eight tomorrow, but it is what it is.

And I'll get back at eleven-thirty, then have to set-up everything for the stumble-through, and shower and get myself ready by two - when the two people who missed rehearsal on Saturday are coming to run their numbers.

Then I can rest and relax after the stumble-through and I can certainly sleep in on Wednesday, but have to be up by eleven-thirty to shave and shower and get myself in the right place for the show.

I thought I had the rest of the week to myself, but noooo, my rescheduled ophthalmologist appointment is on Friday and once I'm back from that I know I'm expected to attend an opening night, although I may not.

I spent an hour in the garden. Got work done, but I am dripping wet.

I read Mad magazine as a kid but I wasn't a huge fan, as can be told because I didn't save any of them.

Just learned that one of the people at the cookout on Saturday has been diagnosed with strep throat. I am crossing my fingers and everything else.
