up and down

Just a quick post to let you all know that I haven't offed myself. I've just been too busy and/or not in the mood to post anything. Again--stressed about money and bills, homesick a lot, more crying fits, you know the routine. And it snowed and sleeted heavily today. My tires are nearly bald, you know. On a car that I have to pay $325 on. We're gonna try to get rid of it within a month, and hopefully come up with something that costs less. We came up with that plan, with Cherie's mom's help, after Cherie and I had a big fight because we discovered that we didn't have enough money to pay for rent and the car and some other stuff. Selling more of my stuff was mentioned, and quickly, categorically, taken off the table.

Anyway, one nice thing I did, after we amicably made up, was set up my old Farfisa organ in the living room...one of the things that I refused to consider selling. Glory of glories, the old lady still works, although the accompanying F/AR (the organ's combined power supply/preamp/reverb unit, if you're not a combo organ fan) sounds like it has a bad capacitor or transistor somewhere.

I think I may write some more poetry. Something about homesickness and abject poverty and loneliness You didn't know that I do that?



PS--
Thanks for leaving that comment, Adam. I am so heartened to hear from you--a note from a valued friend from home means more to me than anything else I may get this Christmas. I'll email you privately very soon and hopefully we can talk on the phone or something. I miss you, dude.
