whenever a day goes this lousy, i always tend to extrapolate ... what ELSE will happen? what else can go wrong? do the days somehow know to bunch up all these little things, grouping them together to impose a greater sense of chaos and disarray on the unwitting victims, or is it just a spot of bad luck?
or will there be an earthquake tomorrow, or worse?
well, it's all 'small stuff', so no matter - printers exploding, internet disappearing, phones not working, washing machine threatening to self-combust, toilets leaking, water filters spontaneously becoming full-fledged fountains ... hmmm, on second thought, where is that hard hat of mine?
and, it is monday. start to the week, which will end with the kids being off for a seven days. no vacation ratified, we'll cruise through (with trepidation!). jane will just be getting over chemo, everyone scattering for the break ... we need to make some plans so we can structure the days a bit ... get out, see new york (or at least, the new york that WE never see). rangers games. broadway shows. observation decks. botanical gardens. uptown. a real culture club! i'm certain i can't bear to watch everyone shuffling around in their pj's for a week - been there, done that.
we'd love to take off for a few days at the end of next week - a mini-break in prague? frida kahlo's house in mexico city? riding bikes in santa monica? strolling the streets of charleston? a last-minute club med no-brainer? skiing in vermont? driving to montreal to see friends?
we'll play it by ear, gauge jane's health and energy, and make a decision. there's always the lure of the big apple!
