Most of April was spent in a state of terminal exhaustion, as I was wrapping up my mother's affairs after her death in March, which means that my affairs are now piling up and need to be dealt with. I'm in the middle of a make-over: my hair is now shoulder-length and is really red with lots of blonde. I'm getting rid of old clothes, handbags, make-up, etc. - really focussing on what works, buying a few great items, and tossing all the rest. I've also lost 16 pounds so far this year. My apartment is next for a huge weed-out; I've no time and no space for anything that really, really doesn't need to be a part of my life. My health, fortunately, continues to be excellent. My 50th birthday is in a couple of weeks, and I'm feeling pretty damned fabulous. I've already paid for my air fare and hotel for my trip to London later this year, so it will be nice not to come home to a big bill, and I'm spending a lot of time reading up on contemporary art, as the purpose of the trip is to attend the Frieze art show and fit in as many galleries and museums as I can. Men continue to be a huge frustration and, frankly, I'm just tired of them. I'm so profoundly disillusioned by the ones with whom I've been in contact that someone fantastic could be standing right in front of me and I wouldn't know it. The only way I'd reconsider some of them is if they *really* shaped up, and I'm not holding out much hope of that. So, a mixed bag, but pretty good, overall.
