* My torso ia still messed up from monday's injury, but it's at a functional level. I am recovered enough from the pathogen that I restarted my dinner meds today. I am bleeding money despite my best efforts. Today I woke to the double chirp of failing smoke detector batteries, a sound that makes it impossible to concentrate. I went out into the scorch to buy eight dollars of gas so I could go to the cheap grocery for 9 volts and kibbles. (I am going to need the kibbles in about a week anyway, so best to combine tasks). I paid housing yesterday thanks to a benefactor. Once everything has cleared odds are I won't have anything for bills if I keep back enough for insurance autodraw and meds. Sigh. I need to wait a few more days before I handle oils for auction.
