so they pinpointed the problem w my phone and i am waiting for it to charge. Somewhat unbelievably, when i was given a new battery and a new charger just four days ago, they didnt check the adapter. so it wouldnt take a charge. THEY REPLACED SOMETHING THAT WASNT WORKING WITH SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS NOT WORKING sorry, i will stop yelling now. oy. wonder what the theatre or arts administration equivalent of that oversight or carelessness might be. selling a tix for the wrong day? submitting a grant without the budget? not sure. but it is charging now. and i will feel much relieved that i can check on my mother and be reached in an emergency or just call to say hello. things have been so challenging for her recently and she was so happy that i took her to a movie and a hot chocolate yesterday. when i walked into the Apple store an hour ago and they asked if i needed anything, i said yes, Can i have a valium? this is one of the reasons i am not so into things. the more things one has, the more things to track. And i am always trying to carve out time for the non thing like things that matter to me. And now i am breathing deeply and remembering that two hours i had the luxury to read an essay by Muriel Rukheyser on poetry. that is how i want to spend my time when i have a choice. Not shopping.
