The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Good: A sweet friend sent me a check in the mail, with which I bought some food & other necessaries yesterday. Hooray for friends! Thanks, Amanda.

Bad: Still got the landlord breathing down my neck and I hate having to accept money & gifts from people who aren't doing too well financially themselves.

Good: Managed to walk 2.5 miles yesterday for the first time since I got that flu-like thing a couple of weeks ago.

Good: Spent most of yesterday organizing the piles and boxes of papers in my room so that I'd be ready to go apply for various state benefits again. Yep, I'm all ready to go apply for welfare this morning.

Bad: You'll note I'm not actually at the welfare office now. Maybe it was that 2.5 mile walk, but I'm too dizzy to stand in those lines and feeling a bit feverish. Doubleplusungood.

Good: I made a pot of split pea & barley soup yesterday with carrots & lots of garlic. Yum.

Bad: E-mailed an old college friend a few days ago and got messages that it's undeliverable. I hope the latest postal address I have for his family is recent enough for mail to get to him.

Good: Last night's new Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Not The Best Episode Ever, but quite good enough, especially the ending. Poor, poor Spike.

"Have you completely lost your mind?"
"Well, yes. Where have you been all night?"


Good: A guy walking around in the yard two houses down is wearing a bright orange shirt. I've got cravings for the color orange today, so this is great to see. Does anybody else get these color cravings, or is it just me?

Good: A pair of jeans that used to be too tight fit me just fine today.

Ugly: I so need a haircut.

Given how many millions of dollars are spent each year on, not just haircuts and shampoos (which both have some obvious utilitarian value), but on products to make straight hair curly, make curly hair straight, make bald heads sprout hair, and turn hair of one color into an entirely different color nature never intended, I am forced to agree with you.
