You can bring your whole army, bitch
I still won’t lose
~ Mystikal (from memory, also I think he’s in prison for rape)
Ok so let’s see where we’re at, still doing the cycles and bookends or whatever we’re calling this.
Christmas three years ago – Hospitalized in Chicago. Can’t remember what this one was for but it was one of the last ones. I think this is when my brother saw a Facebook post and came running but I’m not sure. I’ll ask him. Maybe.
Christmas two years ago – Went to Europe after coming to the conclusion that spending Christmas by myself after spending my first sober anniversary and birthday alone would kill me.
Christmas last year – Toronto. Same.
Now we’re here. Haven’t received a full-time paycheck in three months. Haven’t had a hug in four. Tomorrow I’ll volunteer in the AM and see my Mom who turned eighty this month.
Then we’ll be all done with Christmas.
I don’t know why I started this with a lyric from a convicted rapist.
