Yesterday my
email went wonky and I lost all my contact information too.
I remember when
I used to panic over computer glitches like this, but no more. I managed to
somehow restore my contacts and this morning my “rent-a-genius” comes to fix
it.

After nine days
in a row hardly seeing anyone not in clinical practice, I have a busy social week
this week up. I’ve my usual therapy
appointments but the most important thing that happens this week is that Bruce
comes home tomorrow. He’s been gone for over three months and he had a bad
stroke when he was in Ravenna a month ago.
Second: From
today until Wednesday I’ve hired Colin, the editor/dramaturge, for an appraisal
of my script. Third: Tonight I take Caryn to dinner at Ancora to thank her for getting me into the Arts Club’s Summer Reading
Program. It was her idea and her
doing. She is also a close friend of Bruce’s so we’ll be dining together on the
eve of his return.
On Wednesday, we
Wholesters (seven of us) do Stanley Park; on Thursday I have lunch
at Le Crocodile (my favourite place
for lunch) with two friends whom I’ve known since grade one.
In the time
between, I’ll be re-writing this week and Dwight comes to make the hinge for
the back panel of the defiant dress that I’ll install and then it’ll be done
except for the work Dwight has to do getting it mounted onto its stand. Meanwhile,
I start the fortune cookie dress.
After that, I
know I want to do a wedding dress and I know what it will look like. But I
don’t know what to do about the menopause dress.
And suddenly
I’m thinking: Puberty Dress and Pregnancy Dress. I can’t stop.
I am going
ahead with the Fortune Cookie Dress because I want a Chinese presence. The
other dresses are all about the show concept and the representation of the
different stages of womanhood and roles they play: The wedding dress,
menopause, puberty and pregnancy dresses.
I’ve some
pondering to do. Do I want to do and have fifteen dresses? Where will they go?
At least all this has come up when I have a chance to talk about it with
professionals who’ve read my script: Colin and Rachel.
