I woke up early and went to the post office, bank, gym and grocery store. I'm feeling a bit under-the-weather. It's only aggravated by not having received the check from Eastern... nor being able to get anyone on the phone that can answer any questions about it.

I got an email from sexy uncut dancer and porn star Frank Taylor. I adore him. I'm so glad he wrote.

The rest of the day I cleaned up the apartment... tried to increase the feng shui.

I also started working on my first column for Out in America. It's basically like my diary... a goofy train of thought.. only I try not to curse... but the subject matter I cover will range from PG-13 to almost-naughy. I doubt I could do any less... unless I was writing childrens' books (like Madonna). I'll try that next year.

I made salad, bell-pepper gravy for the beef patties, buttered green beans and sugar-free fat-free chocolate pudding with half a low-carb peanut butter cup as a garnish. I really love cooking for Philip. My menu is rather limited, I confess. We're saving money this way... and we're getting fit and trim.
