judgement came fast. but first, i accidentally melted a plastic-handled knife in a frying pan and set off the fire alarms in the whole building. the carbon monoxide alarm started beeping. fire alarms started going off in the whole building. up i ran to the little box in the hall. i said āsilenceā and it asked for a security code. i typed two two two two and there was quiet. nobody stirred from their quarters.
when was it that i was cooking every day and making casseroles in the vintage pyrex? feels recent. but i havenāt been at that for a while. breakups, and business. i donāt have any pots or pans at all right now. itās strange not to cook. i wish to make some soup. whereās that book lb recommended? maybe i put it on the kitchen cupboard with the other books.
āexcuse me, i donāt want to interupt you, but where did you get those mary janes?ā the stuff of dreams
but that was all on sunday. the week was really hard. i think this week will be even harder. i canāt even write about it. sometimes a week feels like hormones went away. that scratchy feeling on the inside of the skin, like the plasma is trying to escape.
3 of swords. the tower.
i spent saturday in the pit. at 11pm i walked up to a bar and had a lucky saint.
sunday i had a long phone call about all my flaws. then i fell asleep. i woke up at midnight and put my new bed together.
i didnāt think i would be going back to the pit. i thought iād left that behind. itās okay, though. if iām going to be destroyed and rebuilt. but i miss being happy. that was a good wee run.
