21. What does your calendar look like? if this means "show a picture of the calendar hanging in your house"--I don't have one. They create stress.

This week I have a hair appointment, 3 odd deliveries, and a work appointment on Wednesday that I'm dreading. Besides that, there's a huge assignment to complete on Monday. I also need to run to the office either Monday or Tuesday, to pick up the monthly report project (running to about 600 pages this month, which is about average). And probably across the river a couple of times this week for work errands. And I skipped the "one-on-one" with my boss last month, which will come back to haunt me sooner or later. Goddamn it, my head is pounding just thinking about all this. Fuck.

29. What are you most comfortable with? what an odd question! I'm most comfortable with 8.5 hours of sleep, 2 c. Cheerios for breakfast, 4 cups of blackberry sage or cranberry blood orange tea before noon, indoor temps between 62 and 72, outdoor temps between 60 and 70, massages every 2 weeks, hair color every 5 weeks, hair cuts every 10 weeks, a firm mattress, alcohol with no bubbles and very little ice, movies with subtitles on, a smaller (and lighter) cellphone, a car with heated seats...
