I haven't posted here for 3 days... I'm sorry about that. It's been a helluva few days.

My dad had heart surgery on Monday. That took up a lot of my mindspace... he came out of it, but with infection complications - complications that the cardiac institute medical staff wouldn't deal with. Words can't quite cover how little I feel for them right now.

Thursday I got my paycheque from work. By today, one day later, I'm already reduced to about 12 bucks until next payday. Simple way to be broke: just get a job.

Adding insult to injury, the Quebec government has now given me 15 days to pay them back the remaining $2139 in deferred interest from student loans I got over a decade ago. Said money they only decided I had to pay them - without any notification of the amount in advance - two years after I wiped out my savings paying off the loans. Now, I've been off Welfare since May, and even though I have to start getting food from a food bank to survive week to week, they figure I'll find the funds to pay them.

Sometimes, life really blows.
