If you would, join me on "Tales from the Last Inn" for what may be my "swan songs" online...hopefully not and, if so, hopefully not for long!

Big day today...I'm going to see my primary physician to finalize my next disability claim even though my most debilitating illnesses are as yet undetermined.

Briefly (as I've stated before) I have arthritis in my right hand though it is my left hand that freezes up during continued normal use of just a few minutes. I have arthritis in my back while my right hip hurts worse and becomes VERY painful after a walk of just a few blocks.

Still, I've been told disability claims can be made due to 'unspecified conditions'. Good thing, because my luxury of living indoors (eating when I want, hot showers, internet, etc, etc,...) depends on my next disability claim being made by the end of the month. This is more than fair since three months will have passed tomorrow...several more since I first told my primary of these difficulties.

Even so, while it's considered part of my "madness", I'll be quite content being homeless again. Even moreso now that Spring has sprung. I won't and never have been content with the drudgery of the menial work this society expects of me. While I don't particularly like depending on the kindness of strangers and too many theist organizations, I'll take that over the half-life of a call center or WalMart greeter.

I include these tarot card that showed up in amazing frequency when our sweet, loving, intelligent and empathic 'xian wiccans' read for us in our teen dream years of heavy metal, heavier drug use and quite a bit more than just heavy petting...these two in particular embody my very being.

Yes, I am the perennial Fool. When I plan it's for my arts. Back then I questioned the reversed meaning of "empty minded" but, as I've aged...

But then I am well portrayed by the Magician. At least my "reverse" I've continually overcome from my days of the addicted alcoholic master manipulator, when I'd tell you anything to get what I wanted...what I thought I needed.

I'm not free of that flaw, but I'm at least recovering from something!
