Went to the dentist yesterday and had my mind blown by how much its gonna cost even with insurance to get work done. I need implants. I need caps. Also I need to get a root canal done. All of this adds up to 11 thousand dollars. Talk about depressing. Speaking of "the D word" I don't know whats been wrong with me lately....just been feeling so fatigued and in a funk. Videogames and other stuff helps don't get me wrong but mentally I keep feeling sluggish. Its as if someone has somehow snatched all the joy away. Well not all of it. I manage to bounce back but lately its been stronger than usual. So often I've just wanted to stay in bed. I'm still working on cleaning up my place. Been making some baby steps.
I'm fighting a war with roaches. I have so many traps and devices to combat these ultimate pests but they seem to be coming from some other apartments. They reproduce so quickly and have so many babies its almost impossible to get rid of them. Throwing the trash out and using plastic bags for everything is a must. I've even had to put some of my electronic devices in plastic bags for protection. An ultrasonic device I have supposedly hurts them but the other night while I was sitting in bed one crawled on me so probably the damn thing isn't working. I mean I have superhuman hearing and I don't hear ANYTHING. We have to be careful about water too. Like if you wash your hands try not to leave droplets at the sink and they also drink from the toilets or bathtubs. So I learned to place traps near the water sources and to pour bleach in the toilet. Sometimes you can use ajax or comet with bleach. They eat soap and cardboard so theres that to worry about. Its crazy but this may be the one thing which eventually makes me move out of the apartment. Rent is cheap and its a cool location yet its bothersome having to deal with this shit on top of everything else going on.
There was a guy jacking off here at work and I just couldn't believe it. Lately encounters with homeless mentally ill folks have increased everywhere in Cali. Some encounters have been violent and its disturbing when you see stuff on the news about innocent people being hurt, stabbed or killed after some unprovoked attack. I've had sooo many bad situations on public transportation, on the streets or even on my job and there really doesn't seem to be a clear solution. You see tents all over the place now and I think the city is getting tired of this as clean-up operations are on the rise. Literal sting type operations are being performed where law enforcement sweeps in on these huge encampments and tell everyone to pack up their shit and leave. I think because of the relatively warm weather people come to Cali because they can sleep on the streets without freezing even when the temperature drops. Covid really doesn't seem to be affecting the homeless population which is kinda weird unless they are mostly immune? As far as Covid goes sometimes it seems things are rolling back to how it was in early 2020 (without folks buying all the toilet paper!) I need to go stock up on lysol even though I try to remain environmentally aware when using it. Yeah I do care about the planet. I'm trying to cut back on using plastic bottles and even bags when I go get groceries yet its so hard man.
So Covid is still fucking things up. We had to get the booster shots or they would've shown us the door. I dread to think we need even more shots. It appears the schools have kinda gone back to normal. Masks and social distancing are the new norm now though. Crime seemed to drop when all this started. Pollution too I guess. But as the reality of this gets more common or normal life folks are back to doing crazy shit again. You still can't just walk into a store to purchase a PS5 or get one online. (Often if you do find one you have to pay a high ass price for it) This is because of scalpers or bots. Its just as hard getting an Xbox Series S. As incredible as that sounds these machines are still managing to sell like hotcakes. Microsoft bought Activision the other day for like 70 billion dollars and Sony lost like 20 billion in stock. About stock I've started messing around with that but I'll talk more about it later....
