Penniless and Proud

Well, today I feel great, in spite of being poorer than ever. I got my hydro bill today and have no idea how I'm going to pay it, but it just doesn't bother me as much as it used to. I think it has a lot to do with not being able to spend money on the things I've been trying to cut back on, i.e. coffee 3 x a day, cigarettes, weed, beers, you get the picture. The longer I keep this up, the easier it will become to live without, I'll be healthier for it, and that's something to be happy about.

I'm learning to love instant coffee, at $5.99 a bottle, that will last at least a couple of weeks. I still allow myself as much coffee as I want, as long as its from the instant brew, cheap and strong (no cream or sugar either).

The weather is getting better slowly, the days are getting longer and change is in the air. Joel who moved to Cali over a year ago is coming back to T.O. and that's something to be excited for. On top of that, Ben is finally coming home from Ottawa in July and we'll be moving in together. Miss my bro like crazy, so can't wait. I got a job at No Frills to help pay the bills, and had my first shift last Saturday. Sounds like there could be some big gigs coming up this summer for my sound recording business to work on, so that'll be more good news.

So yes, in spite of being broke today I know it won't last and that I'm not alone.
