1. I'm going to travel on a bus/subway/bus in extreme heat in the morning to support a friend who's getting an operation George Bush would not approve of. God bless Henry Morgentaler, sez I.

2. I saw my ex for the first time in two days and he looks skinnier than ever & I can't deal with it anymore.

3. I've been looking for new apartments for a clean break from the ex. Alas, I will miss the balcony but perhaps not knowing the dealers & crazies (I saw a crazy old Indian guy shoved HARD by a young Vietnamese dude & tried to stop it but couldn't. When I walked by, the old guy was yelling at the young guy again. I was yelled at by a crazy Aboriginal today because "I didn't warn him my dog was coming" so he could hold his pit bull. Maybe a calmer 'hood is needed.).
