22nd April, 2026.
It’s officially official: I receive, tomorrow.
Instead of today!
I got my dates mixed up!
At any rate … ?
I’m looking forward to that.
I can do more shopping and bill paying.
~≈£≈~
I can also be quietly saddened.
I’d put in for help from the new crisis loan fund, a few weeks ago … and got the letter with the results, yesterday.
I’ve been refused: apparently, I’m “not in financial shock”.
I can …
Well, I can do several things …
But the only effective thing I can do is whinge!
~≈😒≈~
The only other time I do that … ? Whinge, that is … ?
Is when my building’s communal aerial goes.
And, yes: it’s gone, again!
The last time this happened was in February: the fault got fixed inside of two days.
There’s vulnerable adults in the building, so Clarion, my landlord, prioritised the repair.
This time? When I phoned in the repair, yesterday?
I was told it could take twenty-eight days.
Twenty-eight days.
You couldn’t make it up.
Without becoming deeply cynical …
