Thirty years ago today
It
was a Saturday and the first day of my water fast. I got up around 11:30 and in
the early afternoon I took a brief trip downtown to pick up some film I'd had
processed. I forgot to drop off the new rolls that I wanted to develop.
On
the way back I stopped to pick up the cleaning that Nancy had taken in for me
but the very pretty young black woman who worked there couldn’t find it.
At
home I puttered around, laid down for a while, took a shower, did my washing and
drank some club soda.
I
was just a little tired and spaced out. I was going to develop some pictures
but by then I was too low on energy.
Throughout
the day my cravings had been oranges, pizza, chicken and steak.
Nancy had rented an
apartment at the other end of the hall. I had expected her to drop by but she
hadn’t by midnight.
