Today, again work takes a front seat as I agonize over how to make a particular project come out the way I want it to. It requires more than planning and skill, it requires a lot of lucky breaks. I think someone described the Red Sox in 2004 as being the recipient of all the lucky breaks that year. That's what I needed. There is a meeting regarding said project at 9:30AM. The outcome didn't work out exactly as I had hoped, but it's not over yet. I am amazed at the level of activity in the world right now—breathtaking because I seem to remember that this is usually when the world starts to creep to a halt. The ceaseless energy may be because Christmas AND Chanukah fall on a Sunday, meaning everyone has this week to get everything they're going to get. At home, we have given up trying to ignore Christmas, because Ruby comes home singing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, Robin laid an egg." In my opinion, she knows the true spirit of Christmas—we can't hide it from her anymore.
Breakfast
2 slices of balthazar bread
peanut butter
1 oz cracker barrel cheese
tea
Snack
1/4 cup almonds/cashews
1 clementine
lunch
A pound of Salad
Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken
Dinner
shrimp and garlic with bok choy
1 bite of Magnolia's yogurt with Wheatabix
Meanwhile, I continue to agonize over how to tip various people in my life—mailman, trash collector, but most of all Ruby's school bus driver. I can't help thinking that the mailman brings me junk mail and catalogs I don't need, and if I had a truck I could do without the garbage man (Needham has a dump-system, so you have to pay to have people collect your garbage), but the bus driver does the most important job I can imagine. I think he should get something special, but for the life of me I don't know what that is. Any suggestions? And don't say Balthazar bread, there won't be any left after tomorrow (until I go back to New York).
