I have a collection of new bruises

Furniture has been hauled, boxes are everywhere, and the basement is substantially cleaner than it was a week ago. Axel was considerably less cleared out of the space than had been advertised, but everything has now been relocated to big piles on the other floors. The only thing left to do in the apartment tonight is fix the paint on some wall patches where I spackled and Ajay will be moving in on Wednesday. Then we spend the next several months playing house tetris.

The cats are very upset about the entire thing, especially the part where they are locked out of the apartment.

Tomorrow I am working from home so I can duck out for a couple of hours in the middle of the day and go to a protest at Queen's Park against the drug-dealer Premier's cuts to public health insurance. I'm not sure what kind of turn-out there will be - the education cuts protest was massive but that one was held on a Saturday. This one will take place when most people are at work, but then in theory the MPPs will be in the building so it might actually have more impact. Guess we'll find out.

Thanks for going to said protest. I would very much like to go, despite being sick of protests in general. I'm sicker of this government.

My friend in Stratford is going to the protest there (she is conveniently self employed and works from home so can do all the protesting in the world. And is).

Damn. Is it Rob Ford?
How did I forget Rob Ford was a thing?

[Probably Brexit, Trump and whatever the fucksticks is going on in Australian politics]

Rob Ford our wife-beating, crack-smoking, drunk-driving mayor, actually died a few years back from cancer.

His brother Doug the drug dealer has since won as provincial leader and is cutting billions of dollars from things like education and public health so he can do things like give tax cuts to rich people and patronage jobs to his friends.

Shit, that's right.
I knew there was a glitch in the matrix.

I am waiting for the idiots in the Saskatchewan Party to do a "hold my beer". They've been cutting things all over for years and I suspect they're sitting there getting ideas.

Super happy that you can protest, but really sorry that you have to.

I'm sorry about the upheaval and house tetris. There's really never a good time for that, but now especially...

How did the protest go?

You'd think the cats would be happy about boxes, at least...
