Despite the ongoing irritation my second roommate causes I am quite grateful to be able to call him day or night if I need to. The other day when I had a flat tire he was the one I called. Thursday one of my little buggers was sick and needed a 2am vet check. FJ (Fife Junior) got up without question or grumbling and took me. For all the irritation he causes he can be quite helpful as well as very generous with his time. I have to give him credit for the good stuff.
My basic auto repairs are taken care of by the two dorks I live with. 
I don’t pay for or deal with oil changes, fluid checks, flat tire repairs or even wiper replacement. I had a light out the other day and it was taken care of without cost to me. My flat tire was repaired without cost to me. I’m more than grateful, more than grateful.
The third noteworthy thing for my gratitude entry is that there’s a strong possibility I’ll get a better bed than I have right now. I absolutely need it. Right now I’ve got a bed that makes sleeping worse than sleep deprivation. I hope I get this bed. It’s a full size mattress, box springs and frame. Currently my wreckage sits on milk crates. This thing is killing me.
Final note: Dr. D pointed out that my interactions with FJ are filled with ambivalence. I have to disagree. I either like him or can’t stand him. That’s not ambivalence it’s black and white thinking. It’s borderline.
