word for today&#8217;s feelings is dismal. cannot seem to shake it. long walk has me feeling a wee bit better but not by much. got really angry at myself for fucking up a subway transfer and paying double fare. no 7 trains from queensboro to manhattan, but the way an MTA agent said it it sounded like there was no 7 trains whatsoever at court square. i should have known this was wrong but it got away from me, so i took a shuttle bus from court square stupidly thinking they&#8217;d have things programmed for a free transfer. what a dumb idea. <\/p>\n<p>did good work yesterday and continued it a bit this am but couldn&#8217;t shake this horrible feeling that i am disintegrating, that i have no future. just e-mailed an ex who had invited me to her housewarming that i can&#8217;t make it. considering the fact that i rarely if ever have to be anywhere at a certain time it should not surprise me that i forgot that i actually have to be somewhere this weekend, when the housewarming is to occur. she and her bf just bought a house in Poughkeepsie. she&#8217;s been a good person to talk to of late.<\/p>\n<p>At a starbucks, eating a turkey pesto sammich that tastes like dirt. i don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s the sammich, it&#8217;s me. i&#8217;m the dirt.<\/p>\n<p>sent \u00a0a 311 request using the 311 app that i did not know existed before today. reported the vandalism that has 38th avenue looking like 138th avenue. i wonder if the nearby Flux Factory group is responsible. it&#8217;s a mighty high sign to vandalize. i remember reporting a confusing sign screwup on 36th ave a while back, and it was fixed in what seemed like a day. <\/p>\n<p>finally talked to the landlord about the lease. some days i think he thinks i&#8217;m a stupid white american, other days he seems like my best friend. today was one of the latter of those extremes. he said he didn&#8217;t mean to bump up the rent, that he just looked at last year&#8217;s lease and repeated it. he says i should just change the numbers on the lease, which doesn&#8217;t sound completely legal to me but i&#8217;ll do it anyway. among so mamy other pressures and concerns i&#8217;ve been digesting (or not digesting) the lack of a signed lease has only added to things.<\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>word for today&#8217;s feelings is dismal. cannot seem to shake it. long walk
