7.070 meeting, too much fopal

Monday 02/09/2026

Resident association meeting at 9. My new 6th floor neighbors Rob and Nancy were introduced. She has an MA in Physics then went to med school and practiced as a dermatologist. He has a PhD in I forget what. Despite having way more professional cred than me, they are quite nice people.

Rhonda introduced a couple of new staff people, including one I expect I will interact with often, Jean — she didn’t give his last name — who will be the czar of IT issues going forward. Seems very pleasant. The Tech and AV squads will meet with him tomorrow.

Then off to FOPAL. Frank had texted me a picture of 11 (fucking eleven!) more boxes in front of my section, and this is the pre-sale week. I have to get the whole thing tidied up and ready for the sale today or tomorrow, and I have no free time for that tomorrow. So I spent three hours down there, 11-2:30. Came back for a short walk with Joanne. Ordered a cheese sandwich as supper to take out. Picked that up at 5 and off to FOPAL again. Two more hours did it, I’m back at 8pm. Except one more little task to do.

I’m in my bathrobe with a shot of Grand Marnier to sip. and fuck all that.
