Well, I’ve managed to let over a month get by without making an entry here.
On the 22nd I got the community service signed off. So the past few weeks have been the first time in years and years I didn’t have something hanging over my head. And while I was reading the comments to the news articles on the Sentinel there was an Ikariam banner-ad and I made the mistake of, firstly, clicking it and, secondly, trying it.
After spending at least a week totally absorbed with the game I deleted my account when it became clear I would have to spend all my time playing the game to ‘win’.
In my last post I wrote about the dilemma of having more month than marijuana and the time I spent trying to decide whether to go without for 4-5 days or borrow money to buy enough to get me through the month.
Well, I decided to go without. Not having anything hanging over my head made it much easier and it wasn’t bad until the last day, when I developed a physical problem that really stressed me out.
I still haven’t filed the papers to get my property back from the police. And I’ve still got boxes of papers to sort and file lining the walls of my room.
