I can’t tell yet whether the antibiotics are doing any good against the pneumonia. At times, I feel a *little* stronger, but then I get caught short of breath again after some minor exertion — like, oh, lifting a piece of paper?<\/p>\n
I hate this. You know how some people are mean drunks? I’m a mean invalid.<\/p>\n
I did make a little progress along the Road to Indifference today, though. The ex came up in a conversation, and I listened to what was said, flinching only once. It’s a step. Ordinarily, I would exit or terminate a conversation at the mention of her name.<\/p>\n
I want to write more, but the energy’s just not there.<\/p>\n
#####Purgation lyric of the day:<\/p>\n
There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no easy way to lose your sight
\nOn the street, on the stairs
\nWho’s on your flight.
\nOld couple walks by, as ugly as sin
\nBut he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got her and she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got him.<\/p>\n\nI might like you better if we slept together…\n<\/p>\n
