Do you like hiphop music? I do. It's my favourite. It's what I knew. Well in hiphop they say if life is good you are living large. I'm living small. My new place is small. It's not like this other place. The kitchen is small. Less cupboard space. The bathroom isn't so big. The cabinet in the bathroom is too small for a girl. It's no place to put anything. But, this is cheap. I can stay here with my few regs. I don't have a balcony. This I don't like. No way outside. And no camera to see. But it's only regs now. They know me and will understand.
Unhappily Married comes over. I show him. He knows I don't have money. He tells me right now it's tough. He said his company cuts staff. He said he struggles to let them go. They have a family. They pay for the house. It's a decision he must make. He said even for him it's tough now. They have troubles. I never see this before. For all the time I know this man, life is good. It's always endless money. Now, his face has a crease. He worries. Life is tough. He sais to me that money is tough now. I don't know it. He sais the USA is in trouble. Money is hard. He sais in Alberta most money comes from the USA.
I don't have so much bills now. It's cheaper to live this way. I must cut back. I cook now. For so long I don't cook. I eat at home. But it's a bit. Come cereal or a fruit. Who has time to cook? I can just eat out. To eat out is expensive. At least 10 dollars each time. Now I will cook. It's cheaper. And I don't have so many clients. Just a few so more time. I can do things. I like it. I can watch tv. I surf the computer. I read a book. I go downtown. I get a card for the library. The library is good. You can walk there. It's not so far. I go in the buildings. It's all inside. In the day it's all the business people.
With more time I have lunch with Unhappily Married. It's 10 minutes to walk. We can have lunch. He buys so I don't argue. I notice he is different. His face is down. He is tired looking. I think his work is tough. The good thing for me? He wants more sessions. He tells me escape. He needs it. I know it. His marriage is not good. Now his work fails. He is my best client. It's still 3 browns. The rest are 2.
You know, I can eat anywhere. But my favourite is Opa. It's Greek. So what you say? While I am Greek. I love this place. For Unhappy it's cheap. Just 9 dollars. He likes it. Do you know Opa? They make this bread in a circle. I love it. I can eat 100 pieces. It's near his work. I can walk home. If downtown I go shopping. I don't buy but I can look.
