*Obviously, this is a lie.
1:00 p.m.: Check in to see what John and Marlena are up to.
1:30 p.m.: Practice walking briskly down the hallway of apartment. Nod to imaginary passersby. Rehearse "I'm too busy to worry about what I know that you're thinking about me" expression. If a reminder is necessary, look at photo of Gary Condit taped to the mirror.
2:00 p.m.: Call old office at Paul Weiss. Ask to take the hiring partner to lunch again. This time, offer to wear disguise at the table.
2:30 p.m.: On the way to therapy, stop by grocery store. Out of bologna. Get the Oscar Meyer kind, it's thicker. On second thought, pick up after therapy.
3:00 p.m.:
3:30 p.m.: Clean boogers off underside of coffee table. Should have never invited Albany staff into the apartment.
4:00 p.m.: Watch Oprah. Pick up the phone to return her call, but put receiver back down. Instead call David Paterson and give crisis-management advice. The Days Inn? Really? Also, give tips on Sheldon Silver's weak spot, specifically the one right between his chin and Adam's apple.
4:30 p.m.: Pour Scotch.
5:00 p.m.: Go get the paper. USA Today won't have any Spitzer stories, stick with that.
5:30 p.m.: Have another Scotch.
6:00 p.m.: Call Silda, ask if you can come over for dinner. This time, offer to wear a disguise at the table.
6:30 p.m.: Make a Lean Cuisine. The Thai kind, it tastes less like a foot.
7:00 p.m.: Watch a Seinfeld rerun.
7:30 p.m.: Go out for a minute and treat yourself: It's Chiffon Mint day at Tasti-D!
8:00 p.m.: While out, pick up microwave Kettle Corn. The low-fat kind. Also, make sure there's enough Chardonnay in the house. Tonight might be the night Silda comes by to pick up the rest of her Hermès scarves.
8:30 p.m.: Do sit-ups and push-ups. Measure chest.
9:00 p.m.: Nice long shower. Change into bathrobe.
9:30 p.m.: Working Girl on TBS!
10:00 p.m.:
10:30 p.m.:
11:00 p.m.:
11:30 p.m.: Call Silda. Leave a nonchalant message.
12:00 a.m.: Call again, twice. Both times, hang up before the beep.
12:30 a.m.: Go to bed.
1:00 a.m.: Read last night's dream diary.
