But it’s going to be another scorcher of a day.

But do I really care????

NO!! My little window AC unit works fantastically, gang. What a gift from God!!!!

However, I was gone for 12 hours yesterday, and I had left the AC on, with the kittens closed up in the room. And when I got home, they were sort of like: “What the fuck is your deal??We’ve been locked up in this refrigerator the whole damn day. Where the hell have you been??”

And then they went zooming out into the hall and got all the other cats riled up and no one settled down for about 90 minutes after that, so I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night.

Still. I’m so happy. I love my AC!

No real update on the eHarmony front today, since I had to work back-to-back shifts yesterday. But we did have a few nice texts!

Hopefully, this evening, we will get to chat on the phone again!

But, wow, both shifts yesterday were incredible, gang.

My favorite 94-year-old Japanese client, and then my other favorite client — the retired Chaplain who is back from Florida. I had a really long shift with her and it was amazing. The stuff we talked about.

And I had cause to read part of her CV yesterday because it was out on the table. Wow. She did unbelievable stuff as a Chaplain. Always going into the heart of horrible places, to work mostly with rescued infants and children. I don’t know how she did it — for decades. The horrific stuff she’s had to witness. Her faith in Christ is absolutely unshakable.

And even though I was there forever, the time just flew. She really helped me get some clarity on that memoir I’m writing about the 1970s and my various father figures. She said something like, “God gave you your voice to express through your writing. Use your voice. You must write the memoir. Be honest and be brave with it. You will help people.”

Something like that. it was just what I needed to hear.

Okay!

Here’s this!!

From Wayne this morning. He leaves Cambodia on Monday and he is not ready to go back to NYC. He has had a great time — this was his second trip to Cambodia.

Oh, and a happy 82nd birthday to Mick Jagger:

And tonight, Nick Cave’s Solo Tour with Colin Greenwood on bass continues! A music festival in Arles, France. And, yes, it is SOLD OUT.

Here’s this, from the show in Cannes!

Next, they play 3 sold out shows in Bergen. Norway. (I cannot believe it is almost August, gang. Where did the time go???)

************

I think that’s it for now. I’m still kinda worn out from yesterday, so I want to try to just lie down for another minute, before I have to drive back to town.

Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are in the world!!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!
