Digested

[lawnrrd]

I am working much too much and sleeping much too little. Don't even get me started on fucking and working out.

I really, really like what I do. I know how unusual that is, and how even more unusual it is for lawyers, and how even much more unusual it is for $BIGLAW lawyers. It is nonetheless true. But there are times when I wish I didn't have to do quite so much of it.

Progress continues to be made on the apartment. The new sofa was delivered yesterday, and we're trying to figure out whether we like it. Lauren and I agree that we don't like the stain that the brand-new sofa arrived with, but we're not sure what we're going to do about it. Lauren, Leo, and I did enjoy some quality time together this morning on the sofa, though.

Despite the progress on the apartment, the third bedroom is not yet an office. I continue to refer to it, alternately, as the "crapatorium" and the "crapateria." I just can't decide which I like better. An obstacle is that we don't have bookcases yet. Ikea has a set that we think we'd be happy with, but they want $150 to ship them, and none of the local stores has them in stock.

Tonight I have to get home relatively early to relieve the babysitter because Lauren has some event or other. I think that I will take the opportunity to put the air conditioners in the bedrooms. We still need a new unit for the living room and another for the crapatorium.

The other day, while walking to the bus stop, I noticed how beautiful the weather was, and I looked across the East River at lower Manhattan, and, for the first time in years and years, I was conscious that I was glad to be alive. I think that the Zoloft is working.

due to my car hating me at present, I have a SUV at my disposal for a bit (rental), until they fix the car that was to have been fixed. If you want to go to IKEA, drop me a line and we'll go. I've got nothing on tap for Saturday at all.

Thanks for your kind offer, but 1) the bookshelves we want are too big to fit in an SUV, and 2) the nearest Ikea that has the things we want in stock is in Conshohocken.

I just got back from the NYC area (spent a week in Long Island), sorry I didn't have time to look up the NYC LJ'ers. I passed by Ikea in Elizabeth so often being burdened with a minivan the whole time, and would have been happy to help cart home a book case with you. Glad to hear that you and the family are settling in.

Well, I appreciate the thought, but the shelves we want are not in stock in Elizabeth anyway, so it wouldn't have made a difference. I hope you enjoyed your visit.

We take the same medicine. I wish there was money for $$$BIG Speech Pathologists. But there isn't.

But you enjoy it, at least.

maybe not the school part. but i really enjoy kids. especially the little ones. and i like helping people. so helping kids communicate seems like a good way to spend some of my life.

hopefully when i'm out of school and away from some of the nastiness that comes with that i will be a happier person.

Some day we will sit down with each other again, and some day I will get to hear you sing again....
