First Friday Mass last night, St P’s, rosary, then yielded to temptation after a day of recovery from boo, and got a cheap pint at Shirley’s. She did not recognize me at first because I was wearing that pink and white synthetic scarf from Century 21 in 2015 (Tennessee Morn).
But now time hangs heavy, it is not quite 8 pm and around 3 am or so I must be up and ready myself to walk up to 72nd and Fifth. Only a 5k, and my duties look pretty light: setting up clocks and mile signs, which of course are few. I cannot get my mind engaged in anything. I like that Churchill book, Warlord, and will be going back to it, maybe starting the Paul Kennedy downloaded via E from NYPL. Ideally I’ll catch a few hours of sleep.
Sad and lonely, missing Moki, missing him intensely maybe for the first time in many weeks. Months. I am worried about the future and staring it in the headlamps, mesmerized. Behind in rent I can’t ever catch up on. Need to straighten out SSA. No luck a year ago. All would be well if I had just one normal job. I can’t count on the VCF coming in soon, though I must bother them soon. Also bother Chase Amazon Visa to report that fraud. Next week.
It could well be my mood is from lack of exercise and activity in general. Got some walking in Tuesday, for Prosecco and shrimp and Bellevue, nothing since except going to the subway and to Dottie’s on Wednesday.
And of course the boo can’t have helped.
Partly out of forlorn hope, and also amusement, I followed what seemed to be a big-money-giveaway scam again on Twitter. A negro lottery winner is giving everyone who follows him $30k, just like that. Sending it in cash, FedEx. But, as I suspected, they want a few hundred up front. Just a few hundred, you see. And while I was doing this, I discovered an identical scam going on, supposedly from the same person, on a slightly different Twitter handle. So I followed them both to our destination, where I said I had no money to give them up front, and would they take an IOU, payable from the proceeds of all that cash? I was hoping hard enough so that I was disappointed when both proved to be what they seemed to be. How many scams have I entered now? There was Hoolio (Brillio), and the Mexican in Texas (lost about $5000 and then $35 on those two), and then the fellow calling himself Jason Miller, also giving money away for free but asking $1000 for shipping expense up front. Then the two Generous Daves last night. So that’s five.
I have microwaved a potato. Must eat it.
