The Visible Woman...August 20, 2003

The day seemed to be a whirlwind of trying to make plans, adjust plans, do things, plan things.

We spend a lot of time planning things. I had to switch a lunch date so that I could take another volunteer slot for the film fest, I was e-mailing a friend in California about meeting for lunch after Labor Day in the Dallas area, I was trying to arrange for FFP and I to get together with our two young friends to socialize and maybe see a film fest film. I was trying to plan with my Dad for some time to continue the never-ending cleaning out of things my mom 'collected' in his house. But I'll have to change that because of this volunteer conflict. The contractor came by to have subs review what it would take to do the remodel we are considering. Planning to get that done will be a major effort. Meanwhile I'm trying to look at the whole schedule of the upcoming fall and plan a couple of short family trips. And, of course, I'm still trying to get my office in better order. In the midst of that we were trying to show the building to yet another prospect.

At the end of the day, I had to do my volunteer stint. Sweeping, carrying, sweating. It was interesting, however. Not something I'd do every day, but not so bad either.

JUST TYPING Doing menial labor. Focuses one. Gives one perspective. And a little dust up the nose.
		Food Diary. *About 12:15pm* three slices American cheese, a big bowl of grapefruit slices in juice and sweetener, four pieces turkey bacon *About 3:30pm* a lot of gourmet cheese and crackers and some green onions *About 8:30pm* three small slices of pizza *About 11pm* a few tortilla chips and some cheese, about 12 oz. of Tonic Water Stomach man says: this really is the all cheese diet! Please, some vegies!
		Time flies.... Organizing and planning future things seemed to occupy me today. And, of course, I did volunteer for four hours setting up for the AGLIFF party and spend over two hours at the club.

		Reading. From the Journals of M.F.K. Fisher. It's funny to read journals during this time period when you know the Pearl Harbor is looming. I read the papers but I didn't exactly finish reading them. Still...I'm much more up on news in real time.
		I am typing every day...just getting myself in the habit of writing something that isn't this journal.
		Exercise One hour water aerobics. Forty-five minutes on recumbent bike. Abs ///20.
		Felt like I wanted to stay in bed but fine when I got up. 1115/68 81
