4 AM

This morning I got up at 4 AM which is the witching hour that lets me know I am anxious about something. When I wake up anytime between 3 and 5 AM, something is on my mind. So, there is no denying I am worried about breast cancer and my appointment on Friday with the breast surgeon. I have been keeping it out of my mind with all kinds of tactics- excessive TV (more later), denial, finishing up projects, art work, cleaning out drawers, paying bills, etc. but now nothing is helping. The appointment is tomorrow!!!

In the past almost 3 weeks, I have watched 4 seasons of “Nurse Jackie” which is a fabulous show. I spend so much time at All Saints Hospital with those characters, I feel like I know them better than some of my friends. I like them better than some of my friends. I want to go out to lunch with Jackie and Eleanor!!

I have finished up my subscriptions at the Arden Theater, Walnut St Theater, Philadelphia Theater Company and the Wilma Theater so I saw 4 great plays. I made some good art which I really like which will be included in shows in the fall.

Timing is weird since we are scheduled to leave for our vacation Saturday night so I am cooking for that as well. Then we’ll be at the Jersey shore and will have to come back for an appointment at the Hospital at UPenn on Wednesday. Is sickness every convenient??
