Losing the will to go on.<\/p>\n
Cat escaped Saturday, has not come home yet. Probably dead.<\/p>\n
Bridal show Sunday, at the convention centre, hungover. Wished I was dead, like cat.<\/p>\n
Tonight at Sheridan, made shapeless molten blobs. Possibility of gaining fame and fortune as glasscrafter, dead.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, no plans. Just dead space on my calendar.<\/p>\n
Only one ray of hope on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Mehgan – sainted, lovely Mehgan – got me tickets to see dress rehearsal of Tosca this Wednesday. Operatic enactment of Tosca stabbing her amorous pursuer, then watching as her lover is shot, then throwing herself off a turret ought to slake my thirst for extinction. Must not sing along, though, or audience will want me dead.<\/p>\n
