  • Tomorrow’s my birthday.

  • Hannah is sick. That’s not true. Being sick implies you could get better. Hannah is dying. Marlo and I took her to the vet yesterday. She hadn’t been eating, has lost a LOT of weight. This girl used to be chonky. She’d been throwing up. And now diarrhea. Hannah hides in the closet. Before, when…

  • This week can seriously fuck off, if it’s gonna mirror today: Woke up painfully late, which fortunately wasn’t too much of an issue because the client email in my inbox wasn’t urgent Paid a fortune for 2 medications (however much you think, triple it; seriously, I could’ve paid your mortgage this month) Waited 45 minutes…

  • (Continued from Catharsis, or…, because, why not?) Fuck, I am feeling it tonight. Weightless. After spilling the generics in Catharsis, I took a good, no filtered look back to that weekend.

Yesterday, while doing a little cleanup around the condo, bending elicited grunts and winces of pain from various joints. I had to beg off a hospital visit this weekend, because I’ve come to realize I have a little bit of…

  • I don’t understand. I get the fatigue. It’s been two years, after all. Of course you’re gonna get tired. But that shit’s still out there. And it’s constantly mutating. One strain may feel like a mild cold, with or without the vaccine. Another will knock you on your ass. People were hospitalized and dying because…

  • I wrote this on Facebook 9 years ago today. It’s still true. I’ve named my despair Howard. Not because I wish to be cute or because it’s funny, I’ve named it Howard because someone once told me names have power. And if you can name a thing, then you can tame it. But it’s not…
