I spent the weekend doing boring weekend stuff--laundry, groceries, paying bills, cleaning house and, of course, catching up on my shows. I always like to start my week with a full tank of gas, a full fridge and money in my wallet; otherwise, I feel like I"m behind before I even get started. Having clean clothes to wear is also high on the list. It"s strange, but I find working every day hard to get used to, although I did it for ten years before my mom died. It seems that once you stop punching a clock, you immediately forget how to do it; and then, you don"t even remember what the clock looks like. Given that I"m fairly obsessive, you might think I showed remarkable restraint by not spending the weekend online looking for my father, but the truth is my brain was on overload. If I didn"t
