I was at Jimi's Tattoo today. I went to have an earring put back in place. Jimi did my tats and my piercing. He is a good guy. He looks like a biker but he asks about my kids when I see him and extends genuine affection when I visit. I like the place. His business was dead today. I mentioned that it was Good Friday. He said, "It may be Good Friday, but it ain't good here." I had to laugh at the irony.
LACo Problems Put to Rest
I put the issues with LACo to rest today. I received the releases from the courts that I have been struggling to get since this whole sad story began in September. This is a major stressor off of my back. It is amazing how quickly I can get things done when I can get face to face with the person that has the authority to do business. This comes at a good time: I was facing unemployment over my credential if this was not resolved. Fortunately, it is done and over.
I have always been struck by the irony of calling this Friday good. What can be good about a day that we commemorate the crucifixion of a man whose dedication to peace and justice cost him his life?
I spoke to MM, bit only briefly, literally for a moment. All I told here was that which she had accused me of lying about was over.
Slow Day
While I have needed to take a day off of work to rest, today has seemed like it has moved at a snail's pace. I got a lot done, but I don't feel like it is enough. I am lonely and bored. I am looking forward to seeing Ana tomorrow. I need to do some shopping. The guys at Jimi's asked me to take her over to say hello and to see how she is doing. Jimi also asked if I wanted to play some bass for his new band. I am thinking about it: heavy rock is fun to play.
That's all for now. More thoughts later.
