Whelp. I ain’t shit-canned. They said they think of me as part of the family. Which was awesome to hear. They recommended I inform MasterCard, and file a fraud claim.. For those keeping track, I’ve reported to the credit card company (who won’t open a dispute because I’m the one who bought the fucking cards),…

Woke up before 5:30am to the sound of a cat puking up a hairball. This is a metaphor for my day. I’m in the dentist chair this morning. And probably seeing a contract terminated this afternoon. I’m just glad last night’s Sing For Your Supper went so well. I think Marlo and I are starting…

I miss fish & chips. Lemme be specific. I miss fish & chips from Pumperknickle’s at BCE Place, every Friday at lunch. I miss going into an office. Riding the streetcar from the Loop to Bay and King. Passing Klaus! (since closed) and Neinkamper just after Parliament. I had funny voices in my head when…

Dawn breaks, there is blue in the skyYour face before meThough I don’t know whyThoughts disappearing like tears from the Moon Waiting here, as I sit by the stoneThey came before meThose men from the SunSigns from the heavens say I am the one Now you’re here, I can see your lightThis light that I…

So I’m watching one of those Consumer Cellular commercials just now. And I realize. I’m their targeted demographic. A discount cell phone provider (who I think is only available in the U.S. anyway) is targeting me. Okay. My age range. Still. Which then reminds me, I’ll be turning 55 in October. Kevin and Wayne both…

Got another scam email today. I wasn’t the only one. Clearly the account had been hacked and sent out to everyone on her address list. Really obvious too. Especially with Happy [Day of the Week]! in the subject headline. Wish the last one was as recognizable. I was tempted to fuck with them. You know.…

I’ve shouldered. A lot. This week. But that. That’s my limit. No more. I don’t think. I’m scared. That I can’t. Handle the burden.

A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside(Maybe he’s on the run?)Get back from the bar! A stranger in town is a dangerous sight(Maybe he’s got a gun?)“Bring a bottle of whisky, ladlord, I wanna talk for a while.”And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows,Oh, where the traveller…

She needs to pull the teeth (plural) she can’t save. I’m gonna need partial dentures. My front tooth is gonna fall out regardless. A full set of implants would cost $30K. So that’s off the table. The first round is gonna cost me around $2K. Which is doable. It’s still a lot. For all of…

Dental appointment today. Is it too late to run away from home? I’m rooted to the spot. I don’t wanna go. It’s best for me to see the dentist. Doesn’t mean I have to like it. Bring on the laughing gas.
