Ms Leslie Makes Travel Plans Again
I panicked.
I�ve been watching the schedule fill at the Suporn Clinic the last couple of months. Surgery dates are going fast. When I saw nothing before June, I wrote to them and asked for a date.
I just got back a nice letter from Dr. Kim, who does the scheduling and arranges payment. He told me of a cancellation and offered me May 23rd for my facial surgery. And I�ve just written back to accept. So, now it starts all over again. The weight loss, the money, the passport, the anticipation, the fear.. though maybe not so much this time� and ultimately, I hope, the satisfaction of a pleasing result.
This is the one that will show. I can�t wait to get it over with. I can�t wait to go back to the land of smiles (and pickpockets). I can�t wait to see if I can survive for a month or more in S.E. Asia during our war with terrorism and probably a war with Iraq. I wonder sometimes if I do stuff like this to myself on purpose.
Not much else going on in my so-called interesting life. I puttered around the apartment in the morning, and then went with Ann for her first appointment with my hair stylist. She got a really nice haircut. I think it�s the first time she�s been happy with her hair since I�ve known her. And I�ve known her since 1996. Oh.. and I bought some D-Con. It occurred to me just now that it might be a good idea to leave a lot of that stuff out when I leave this time. Then again, maybe not. The free meal might draw mice from all over the neighborhood, only to gorge and die in my apartment. Hhmmm� Maybe those trays of glue for mice. Seems like maybe the cruelest way to date of extinguishing their little hearts.
I accidentally made good on my threat to get rid of my TV the other day. When I put together my bookshelf, I put it right where the TV has been. Then I discovered the TV won�t fit on the shelves. So rather than move the bookcase, I ended up sticking the TV on a couple of overturned recycling bins at the foot of my bed. Somehow, its� just not the same. I hardly watched it at all yesterday. Maybe I�ll cancel my cable in a week or so. I don�t need it.
