Dear Livejournal,
I've spent the day accompanying Will, his sister, and her husband to Philadelphia to help make dinner for Joan Didion and, in Will's case, hear her read. I've been shopping, shaved cucumbers, sat with Nathan and fluttered his firefly toy at him, shelled shrimp until my fingers turned blue and lost feeling, carried Nathan around while he howled for a bottle, fed Nathan his bottle, and prepared beef skewers. Myra thinks I'm a master with Nathan and wants me to sit for him more often. I think I want to go home.
I'm still in Philadelphia. I despair of getting back to NYC anytime before it's technically tomorrow. I was laid off on Friday. I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter.
But at least now I know I can fall back on my career as a domestic goddess.
