"Election" Night
We are not getting the election results tonight. We’re just not. It’s going to be a tight race. If Biden wins it will be very narrow. Republicans have picked up more seats in the house, Republica...
The Stand
The media cried that America will need ventilators. Trump delivers and made enough to give other countries in need. The media cried that America will need more hospital beds. Trump floats hospita...
Alpha o MAGA
I am both confident and nervous about tomorrow’s US Presidential Election. I am confident that Trump will have a victory but I am nervous because the Democrats will try and delegitimize the resul...
Code Red
My city is going into a code red, again. These are the restrictions that got me laid off. We’re not a mini-Melbourne at least, yet. I don’t even know if my government is bailing people out this t...
Anyone
Getting out of bed sucks. I just try and drag out the existential dread. I spent all day packing and worrying. I still don’t know where I’m going to be after I load my storage locker. I’ll ask Br...
Nomad
I have my boxes ready. I went out and bought the suitcases that I will be trying to live out of. I have two couches lined up so far that I’ll be alternating between. Maybe. Leanne can’t commit to...
Bad Wolf
I’m just abusing my Prosebox privileges. My brain will implode if I bottle everything up. Speaking of bottles, I haven’t craved a drop of alcohol during all of this. Can you believe? Of course, w...
Health, Wealth, Home and Homies.
Who ordered the autoimmune disease during a pandemic that is deadly to people with underlying conditions? Ok, I don’t actually have a diagnosis but my thyroid was something that my doctor wanted ...
Control
I got a sentence from Hetal yesterday. I asked her to call me. I’m going to ask her if her offer is still open. I don’t have anywhere in the city to go so I might as well move over to Windsor Ont...
Updert
I’m not too confident about how the job interview went. I’m overqualified for the position and the hiring manager made that into a concern. There were two times that she had to bring me back to t...
Hopeless
Kyle got back to me, he and Evan do not have a way to create space for me. My mother officially said that she can’t help either. It’s Leanne’s birthday weekend so I’m not going to confirm her off...
Oceans Rise
I have an interview for a Marshall’s this Friday. My interview skills are pretty good but I am a little rusty. I’ll be fine. It’s seasonal and part-time which could roll into full-time. Not that ...
Doubt
Well, call me Caitlyn I’m triggered. Not literally but a friend shared a post that had an image of a man crying in his car. He took his life shortly after that image because he had no recourse fo...
Update
Things are starting to feel real. I called the storage locker place and I go down tomorrow to reserve my unit. We’ll sort out the details from there. Then after that, I will plan how to get my bi...
Zombie
I can’t get an image out of my head that I had in my dream last night. One part of my dream was lucid and that was when I came across my father. He passed away when I was eight and when I approac...
Derp
The majority of the places that I have applied to over the last few weeks close tomorrow as part of the COVID response. No recourse for them this time I believe. My Prime Sinister is too busy fig...
Gay Climate Change
I spent the afternoon with Kyle. We went out for lunch and then we overstayed our welcome. He’s so inquisitive, anyone who likes to hear themselves talk would like this guy. Not to say that I am ...
Chinada 2020
My Prime Sinister has a deep disdain for democracy and it is startling. The direction Trudeau is taking Canada terrifies me. For starters, he openly praises China’s dictatorship. Not China, their...
World Wide Web War
It’s another fine day in 2020. It could all just be in my head but I am feeling some tension in this house. My sister suggested that we have a family meeting when Matt comes home. That didn’t hap...
Inner Monologue
My brother-in-law comes home today. My sister suggested the other day that we should have a family meeting. She was feeling torn over the weekend and I wasn’t really in a time & space to help...
Humpty Dumpty
The most important spiritual growth doesn’t happen when you’re meditating or on a yoga mat. It happens in the midst of conflict. When you’re frustrated, angry or scared and you’re doing the same ...
Aspirations
What are my aspirations? I haven’t given that any thought as of late. I was just getting my footing when the C19 response pulled the rug. Toni and I were planning to move in together so we could ...
Homelessness
I stopped tracking all the places that I have applied to. I know that I’ve applied to multiple departments within certain places. Of course, that’s not what is weighing me down. I was reminded ye...
Canadian Thanksgiving
Bev cooked up a vegan thanksgiving yesterday. She hosted it at her boyfriend’s parent’s house because they have a dishwasher. The address was right across from where I grew up. I didn’t recognize...
The Situation
What I thought was just a goal turned out to be a command. My mistake. My country, Canada, is in a record recession that is only getting worse, is in the middle of a pandemic that is only getting...
