I asked myself what teenage Ev would have thought of my day if she could have peered into the future and seen it.
I started off the day with excellent news from a friend and what teenage Evelyn would have called good news from the daily weigh-in. I checked the finances and paid bills from a bank account that would have sent teenage Ev on an immediate shopping spree at Marshall Fields.
Not having to go to a job would have amazed teenage Ev, who would have trouble envisioning she would ever lead a life of genuine leisure. I put on a cute outfit (teen Ev would have approved), took my expensive Coach handbag (teen Ev would have drooled), got in my late model car (teen Ev would have hyper-ventilated), headed to Torah study (teen Ev would be surprised but maybe not shocked) and had a spirited discussion with the Rabbi (teen Ev would have expected this!) I stopped at Tuesday Morning for a new cell case, Sylvia's Kosher for chicken, the dry cleaners for the post-cruise cleaning pick-up and the Homeowners Association office to pick up new keys to the common-areas. How very civilized! How sophisticated I am! What a good life!
The best part? The good news that arrived early. Teen Ev and I both agree on that!
