what january means to me

might as well; in for a penny, in for a pound...
january 2006: lowlife in converted garage behind where i live just happened to have his place be destroyed by fire when he was ready to be evicted; nobody home in daytime, on welfare day, when usually a dozen people there getting drunk/high.  He moved in with somebody next door, and months later a passing driver almost shot from that apt.  I'm glad that lowlife is dead; I still have a special attachment on my sink faucet, for a garden hose, in case of a fire.
january 1982; really dec/new year's eve; my dad, with start of parkinson's disease, no longer able to work, wasted most of his money (like his dad before him), left the house at night, only to be found months later, in the river behind our house.  His shriveled, green, corpse on sidewalk at back of hospital for me to identify, and of course story in papers/local tv.
2 weeks ago; another one of my hillbilly teeth got fixed; even dentist said it 90 percent filling.  Still sensitive; probably wont last long.
Today electric meters to be read?  I used about two thousand kw of electricity, from 3 heaters.
Woke this morning at 4 with my poor, elderly cat throwing up....again.
...wrote this hoping to get it out of my head; up and down; Tuesday was great, at least.
