Water...I need water

The good news is that the water is back. And, in the meantime, I learned a little something about Massachusetts housing law. It seems as though I have an inalienable right to water, and also to heat. The heat situation is a bit hairy right now. I am going to pick up a giant radiant heating tower today and I'm planning to deduct that shit from my rent, and keep it on 24 hours a day. Once that's taken care of, I should be reasonably a-ok. 

Last night at 3am Portland called me, woke me up, immediately launched into singing some ZZ Top, and then hung up or was disconnected - either is feasible. I attempted to call him back to no avail. This is the love of my life, y'all. 

Also talked for a bit this morning with my bud KK who has been MIA for a while. Apparently she was out shooting dope again, but has stopped again, this time for around 5 weeks. She's taking suboxone which I have mixed feelings about. Drug replacement therapy is still drugs and far be it for me to give anyone shit for anything, but I think that if you're taking something that's gonna make you dopesick if you stop, there may still be an issue going. Worries me a bit, but truly, what the hell do I know.

I've been up for about 3 hours now, which means its time to take a nap.
