I used to rely on a steady turnover of odd ‘miracles’ to get me through life — people letting me off easy, some extra unearned cash coming my way, serendipitous fortunes.
Those days are over. I never get anything like that anymore. It’s all to be earned.
Which is to say, for the better. Gotta learn the hard way, the real way, the way that can’t be pulled out from under me.
So, I’m off to work…
