No Slow Zone

Me: Yes, I am officially a lady of leisure now.

Friend With Short Legs: Does that mean you’ll slow down when you’re walking now?

Me: No.

Me: Walk faster.

Sympathy Rent Discounts For The Recently Unemployed Single

I lost my job this week.

It was sudden, unexpected and very fucking strange. The reasons for my release were vague.

That said, severance gives me some time to figure out my next step -- hardly the worst thing for someone wanting badly to return to writing. Even if it IS a cruel, unrewarding and generally masochistic way to (try to) make a living.

Have also found that am sleeping better, stomach issues are settling, and I have a bizarre taste of something in my mouth that vaguely resembles freedom.

This week has been fucked up.
