Numbers I’m Noticing

• 6 - recent deaths around me since, and including, Naan. That makes an average of one per month since September. Of course they’ve been more clumpy than that in reality.
• 20 - year anniversary (which I totally overlooked) of not being a wastrel. The actual date was Dec. 17. It just flowed over and I didn’t notice till last night. It’s good to no longer need to be a counter of days and years.
• 1 - Really bad prognosis. Not of me but affecting me.
• 18 - 23 - Cigarettes per day appears to be too much for my system to feel real comfortable with. But I am having trouble telling myself no on this.
• 5 - Completely weird cocktails I invented the other night at a fabulous little soiree I needed to attend to combat SAD and ennui. The most notable was basically a fizzy Kamikaze. Stoli’s, Cointreau, Roses and Pellegrino water = Yummy.
• 4 - X’s per day. That’s the new feeding regimen for the cats since we switched over to all canned food to help Jetson become a healthy, normal cat. While it is totally working on that aspect, it’s a bit of a pain in my arse.
• 32 - Years that I’ve known my friend Violet. That’s just a whole lot.
• 5 - Days since my last post
• Hundreds of things I’m supposed to be doing right now instead of this.
