By "doing OK" I mean i just got back a couple hours ago from a trip up to my parents' house for executrixing. I'm exhausted and kind of quivery from the 200-mile drive, but it's nothing rest won't cure.

Also last night I finally got around to watching "Everything Everywhere All at Once". I hadn't realized that the most important relationship in the movie is mother-daughter, and as a result--sitting there in my mother's house, drinking a beer in front of the Big TV--I cried like a *faucet*. But in the good, cathartic way where you feel better afterwards.

Neighbor started a major excavation project at 8am this morning ... which I would find to be in poor taste anyway, but especially when I didn't get to sleep until after ~2am. Unfortunately for me, he was doing this because his septic system had backed up. Again. Gonna need him to figure out how to stop doing this (this is the second time in as many months) so my poor disabled ass can maybe get decent sleep.
Also, grass is evil.

Glad you got back okay.

Oh, a good cry. {{{hugs}}}

[adafrog]

Oh no!

I went for a walk to the mall for groceries and a new blue bin, wearing a proper N95. My breathing was more stressed than usual again by the time I got halfway TO the mall. Worrying about that.

I have survived the dentist, and have come home to collapse in bed rather than continuing on with the errand list of Dooom. Bleargh.

Wishing you good fortune, that it will just be temporary random effects.

I hate this back and forth shit. :(

...

I managed to get out of bed, conversate with a friend, eat food, drink caffine. If I have anything to say for it, laundry might get done-but we'll see.

I woke up to an unexpected 130.05 expense (And by unexpected, I mean I though tyhey'd aready taken it out) and so now I'm that much in the qwhole, and I don't get more fundage unttil *at least* next CFriday. I'd take from the savings, but if I do that, I will no longer have enough to pay for my therapy prgram (Through betterhelp) and I need that right now. Evewn with the controvercy that might surround that particular site.

I've yet to figure out how (or even if I can) submit claims for that to my medicare advantage plan, so right now it's out of poket.

I love my job, but I'm getting burnt out on having to deal with transportation stresses to the point that if I had the funds to do so, and I could, I would take the entire birthday weel off. As it is, I need another $14 or so to put down for the two days I *am* going, and I'm noticing myself getting anxious again about having to ask my parents for finances, which I haven't had to do in quite some time. In fact, it's the opposite. I've actually been able to pay back on a loan they've generously given me fgor a piece of equipment I needed for work purposes. I wouldn't like that to change now.

Like...other than that things are pretty much okay. I've been able to do most things-exccept get rid of the old live tree because no aid, some doshes in the sink, etc., without feeling overwhelmed, and my cats are well and fat and mostly happy, so there's that.

Just....blurg, I wish these financial troubles would slow down, y'know?

[we_are_spc]

Ug, that sucks. :(

Indiana law states they can starte that sort of shit (Lawn maitenance, etc) any time after 7 AM, so guess what my HOA does? Yep.

Like...com on. I wwish things would start more around 8:30-9:00. At least most others would be awake, if not already hunkered down for the day.

***hugs***

-T^SPC~

[we_are_spc]

Yeah, that sucks. I've had that problem with regular masks these days. Don't like it.

[mecurtin]

Thank you! {hugs back}

I realized later that it's the first time I've really cried much since my mom died, a LOT came out. Art is really important!
