perhaps i can’t get no satisfaction because to give it to me would be rewarding poor grammar.

in other news, i’m home from a visit up north that had its ups and downs, though not to the degree i was hoping, perhaps.  still. 

long, smoky, unpleasant drive home from humboldt.  at some points around laytonville, the smoke was so thick i actually expected to be seeing fire, though thankfully i didn’t.  then some unknown problem caused traffic to stop about five miles north of willits and we went about three car lengths every time we finally moved a little, which was about every three to five minutes.  the napster was a trouper, but the air quality, heat and the fact he was in a cat carrier in a car for several hours does tend to take a toll.

came home to a three day or quit eviction notice from my landlords, who apparently haven’t received the check i mailed a week ago today, 7/28.  awesome.  this means i drive to oakland to deliver it tomorrow…because you know how much i fucking love to randomly drive to oakland…and it’s so stressful, every time they give me those damn notices!  they slap one on my door on the 2nd, even if they receive my check on the 2nd, which totally feels like harassment.  i’ve rented for more than twenty years and i’ve never had anyone even act like my rent was late until the 5th! 

plus, yeah, there’s still all that death certificate crap to iron out…so here is a quick barbaric yawp of self pity, to get it out of my system:

no one appreciates me and everyone is harshing my mellow when i’m just trying to get on with things, get lucky and get over it.
