Well, folks, no plumber has shown up yet. We can take bets on how long
the bathroom
ceiling will stay up there.
Additionally I recently saw a rat in the lobby! I screamed and ran out of
the building. I went to the store, and when I came back, I
was afraid to go into the building. I
waited for someone else to go in with.
I was soooo freaked out that I texted my ex about it. I told him I
thought he and our son would be
amused. My ex did used to save me from
bugs and rodents. He often said I was
going to give him a heart attack. I just
couldn’t help myself. I wasn’t trying to give him a heart attack.
It’s been like that.
When I told a neighbor, he said that there are a lot of rats in the
building now. I’m freaking. I am fuckin’ freaking.
Changing the channel, a man found my info as an actress on a
website
where my subscription ran out.
He managed to contact me anyway, and I’m cast in a project that will be
marketed to show runners who might find it worthwhile to pitch to TV networks. I haven’t had an acting gig in a while, so I
agreed to it. Plus now it is easier to
take time off from work than during the fall when we have classes.
I won ten bucks on a five-dollar scratch off ticket. I also played Quick
Draw. I put a dollar on seven numbers. Five of them came out. I won twenty bucks on that. I am grateful. That money helps me get through another day
or two, but I need a big win. I really
do.
After the film shoot, the next day I am going to my friend Barbara's in
New Jersey again for a couple of days.
She has a pool and a wonderfully fun-loving spirit. For me, it feels like adult summer camp. I am so glad I am getting to go again this
summer. Another friend of ours will be
there for most of the time also. So much
fun.
Those of you interested in the comedy line-up, I’ll be one of
nine comics
performing on Aaron Smith’s Funny Underground Comedy show at Broadway Comedy Club on 8/31 at
7pm. Seating at 6:45. Ten bucks cover and 2 drink minimum.
Sunday, September 30th at 6pm (seating at 5:45pm),
my Divorced Divas
of
Comedy show will be happening again at Cornelia Street Café on
Cornelia Street in the Village. $10
cover and $10 minimum (food and/or drink).
Guaranteed laughter.
I already miss my Frida who is no longer my co-worker. She is an amazing
person, and a huge loss now
that our students won’t have her available to them. She’s now also a loss to much of the
staff. Though underpaid, she wouldn’t
have left on her own accord. The
wonderful thing is she is going to work at helping the traumatized children
that the Orange One had yanked from their parents. Maybe that is the bigger plan, but I’m in
tears at losing our Frida.
trauma that the Orange a-hole Nazi humanoid caused these children and their parents.
I have a lot of Rat stories, they seemed to pursue me. A rat on the front yard in Baltimore and in my Bolton Hill apartment. The landlord lived downstairs and literally caught the critter by the tail and waved it in my face. I've seen rats ambling down the middle of the sidewalk in my neighborhood, leisurely, in daylight, without paying any attention to us, like they belonged here. I have the same reaction. Getting out of town sounds like a good idea! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that Frida is leaving. All the best to her in her new endeavor.
ReplyDeleteOne rat or one hundred. Not a good story. Can you call a tv station or radio to help fix or expose landlord? Glad you can escape to Barbara's. Enjoy your mini.
ReplyDeleteI will miss Frida too!
ReplyDeleteHi, hope you reported the landlord to the Department of Health as I suggested. Once they are in the building floors and not just in the surrounding area it has a higher priority as a health threat to them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Frida is leaving Lehman. She called me recently to let me know. She truly is a remarkable human being. Be well.
