I've almost recovered from the physical ravages of Pride; my ankle is only sore when I first get out of bed in the morning.
Speaking of Pride, I saw something happy-making as I was on my way home from a walk that I couldn't help taking in last night's warm twilight. At 74th & Fremont, in front of a newish-looking house, is a tall, stout flagpole with a Pride flag on it. As luck would have it, a couple of the residents were on the porch. I wished them happy Pride, and they thanked me. Oh by the way, there's another Pride flag hanging from somebody's third-floor balcony on 74th & Winona, which is on my way to the bus to work.
Worried about an imminent rise in my rent. I'll soon be spending more than 50% of what I put in my checking account (as opposed to what I send to the one Aspiring Ex uses*) on it.
On a related note, I'm all gussied up for a date with Temptress, but she postponed due to ill health. That's just as well: I don't need to spend money on restaurants at the moment.
*Before anyone gets too worked up, let me point out that AX pays both our credit card bills and nearly all m'boy's expenses out of that account. She doesn't wanna, but we haven't gotten around to splitting all those joint accounts yet. If we did, she'd likely be screwed.
