How is it that someone who is supposed to help me fix my life is ADDING stress to it? I now finally have an assistant. Whoo-hoo! You’d think it has made my life easier, but, as I’ve said, it’s stressing me out!

I like to sit beside my boyfriend when we go out for dinner. I think I’m only getting more romantic as I get older. Recently, we headed out for dinner and the server directed us to a table of two. So, of course, my boyfriend moved his chair from across the table next to mine. The server said we couldn’t do this, because, well, we just couldn’t. “But we’re in love,” I said, batting my eyelashes. “We like sitting beside each other.” It didn’t work.

I have a theory about why I’m so unmotivated these days. For some reason, every summer since I graduated university, an overwhelming lack of motivation hits me. I am neither motivated to work (which I have and want to do), or go to the gym (which I should and want to do), or even make plans (which is just pathetic).

It’s not that my daughter doesn’t like my boyfriend — she really does. She just hates when he sleeps over, because what she doesn't like is not sleeping with me.

I'm not usually one to kiss and tell, but I had to tell everyone what was going on. I couldn’t hide it. My face said it all.
