I have to do eighteen more pull-ups and then go to work, where my to-do list from last week is reconstructing itself item by item. Every time I cross something off, and I think it’s gone forever, it suddenly reappears, requiring a new kind of attention. It’s like Vince and Angela popping up again on last week’s “Project Runway” just when everyone thought they were a solved problem. I think I am going to take the rest of this week and totally clear my plate, and next week start some huge new projects that I’ve been putting off.

Next week, I also have to go to court and to the podiatrist, and the week after that is October.
