Love on the Rocks


For reasons that would be unkind for me to share, I had to make a spice and pepper free dinner for P tonight. I'm still a hot mess and couldn't take on anything too involved because I had to work late and since some bastuhd decided he wanted to steal my bike seat and all the pipes and fittings that connect to it, I had to take the shuttle bus all week. That tacks on an additional 45 minutes of travel time and another hundred dollars to find all these small parts. Thanks mother fucker, I was not having a hard enough time with my mother in the hospital and having to take emergency family leave during a major holiday. ASSHOLE!!!!

But I'm sure he really needed the money. Not like me who is making tons of extra income working a crap job at a retail store that keeps cutting my hours!

The bad thing about getting ripped off or robbed or taken here in the city is that it ends up being about how you yourself screwed up. Like I should have wrapped my chain around the seat bar like I always do, to avoid it being stolen. That night, I was off late, trying to get inside because it was rainin'. I had a plastic bag over the seat and figured, 'it'll be okay just this once'. It was my fault. If you screw up or show weakness here, someone is going to be there to prey on that. Someone crawled up the fire escape and into our living room and proceeded to fill P's bike bag like a shopping cart with our computers and that turned out to be our dumb fault too for thinking we could have a fire escape window without bars on it. Luckily P chased the guy down and got our stuff back.

It might not show but I'm a little disappointed with the human race right now. There are a lot of great people out there and I still believe that but damned if there aren't also a lot of stupid, mean, crooked little stealin' bitches out there too.



So to bring some calm into the night I bought some organic baby bok choy and portabella mushrooms to serve with some chicken breast and basmati rice. I added just a touch of oyster & soy sauce. This will provide some calm to my otherwise shitty disposition and hopefully bring back some love into my cold, cold heart.
