Jane Fishman is a contributing lifestyle columnist for the Savannah Morning News.
I’m nervous, very, very nervous. Not because my computer is “in the shop” and out of commission for four or five days, in the milky-white, blemish-free hands of some youngster with lots of 21st century dexterity but no sense of humor and no people skills. Not because something is eating my butterfly weed and I have a dog who is overly attached to me and who whines when she doesn’t know where I am. Not because the markings from a supposedly temporary tattoo pen, administered by an excited 9-year-old, show no signs of disappearing. And not because the subject of mold is in the air (and our houses), something I do not wish to face.
