There's no signal on about five channels on the new digital combooberator.

It's COMCASTIC!!!

Assholes.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking for a few moments with my ex husband, Michael Winderman.

He's doing well; there are family politics galore, but nothing he can't handle.

The irony is that we have been better friends after the divorce than we were before. Go figure.

All right. I've had it up to here. Brace yourselves.

Here's the deal: I'm sick. I have systemic lupus. I've known since 2006, and I have never before mentioned it here.

But I'm compelled to now for the sake of my well-being.

What this means is that I'm nobody's sounding board, because what's left of my health will suffer.

Please, folks, I adore all of you, but I'm not your mommy -- so please have enough sleep and proper blood sugar levels before you find me and tell me about your day.

Don't call me to vent, don't say shitty things in my comments section, don't chat with me unless you are going to be polite, and don't you DARE miss any more business appointments with me, because frankly, it's unacceptable for any reason.

I no longer have the tolerance levels with which to deal with any of the above. It's all rude and I am worth more than that.

We square?

Good. Thanks.

The Bay Bridge section replacement is completed; now there is a repair underway on the other end of that section of the span on an eyebar link.

Reopening has been moved from Tuesday to Wednesday. Stay home another day if you can.

That's it. Have a good Tuesday.
