The Squeeze

It's all hitting me at once.   Bills are due.  Taxes must be paid.  There's a $500 deductible on the car.  The car.  It was damaged when it was towed by the private towing company on Friday afternoon.  We still owe a fairly tidy sum on the Mini Cooper for damage sustained during the three years I had it.  The phone bill is through the roof.  The mortgage is due.  We owe for life and health insurance.  Behind on both. We do have a small amount of savings.  I guess we'll be dipping into it (again).  There doesn't seem to be another way.  I can't borrow money.  I don't know how to ask.  In any event I really hate it, so I resist even considering it.

Bitch bitch bitch.  Everybody's got problems.  I need to count my blessings, of which there are many.  I've got what money can't buy.  A woman who loves me ... I've even got a wife!   Just kidding.  I live in a beautiful home, in a beautiful neighborhood, shouting distance from the beach.  I'm a very lucky guy in another way too.  Most people who've with my proclivities are either hospitalized or dead.  And I'm neither.  I'm the wonder of the age.  Well, at least I must be  the most hard headed guy in the world.
