* Today we managed the rare two cat peaceable kingdom bed cuddles. I also read half of the First Actresses, which isn't giving me everything I'd hoped for, but is also very very relevant to my interests. I also watched the fascinating Three Billboards, which asks a lot of interesting questions and gives no answers by design. I achieved next to nothing else. Six of the wraps were off by morning and three nails broke. I re-manicured and replaced the two on my left hand. We'll see how that goes, but I suspect I am fundamentally bad at nail wraps.
* I get that realtors need to make a living and my fixed at a low tax rate apartment is in a neighborhood with rapidly rising property values, and while I hate the waste of endless paper mailers trying to get me to sell even though I'd be totally fucked if I ever had to move (this place has problems, but nowhere I could afford to move to would ever be as close to as nice as this or as accessible with my disabilities, and would likely cost twice or more than I pay to live here a month), I can recycle the mailers with no effort at all.
The thing I resent? Realtors aggressively cold calling to tr to get me to move out to somewhere incredibly shitty I couldn't afford even worse than I can't afford here. At least this one called at 7:30 PM on a Tuesday instead of 7:30AM on a Saturday as memorably happened once. Yes, I get it. I'm too poor and disabled and counter-culture for this complex. Also, fuck you and stop calling me, all of you. I wish there was some sort of I'm not moving until I'm dead or forceably moved a nursing home notice I could send out so they could stop wasting both our times on them trying to convince me.
