the day without end

i made it through the dinner party. turned out to not be a dinner party so much as a chance to eat all the appetizers and talk while dinner got cold. we did finally eat a tiny portion of the painstakingly prepared meal, albeit a little late and a little cold. i had better get used to these silly entertainment evenings where i am expected to play the role of the perfect housewife. the fare was good, conversations better, and i held my own with the investors. i am just happy it is over. tomorrow i can begin packing and doing all of the normal things that need to be done around here. oh, i had my molds done today and paid for the expensive braces. my appointment is for june 29th =at least they will be hidden. now to do something with the ugly glasses...
off to read more of the strange true crime novel and maybe a gardening book.
