#it's only 8:20 pm there's still time for me to get stuff done!!!!

[airenyah]

do your thesis bestie it's either now or on Wednesday

I WAS GOING TO AND I WENT TO SIT IN A PARK TO WRITE BUT THEN I BUMPED INTO A FRIEND WHO LIVES NEAR SAID PARK AND I ENDED UP TALKING TO HIM ABOUT SOMETHING PERSONAL THAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE FOR LIKE 2 HOURS INSTEAD OF WRITING MY THESIS OOPS

[fuck-customers]

I have been following you guys for awhile and have had so many fuck customers moments but last week I had the one that takes the cake because I thought I was about to die. I figured it was worth submitting.

For some backstory, I'm a graphic designer at a signs & awards shop. We do A LOT of different stuff for A LOT of different people/companies. (Including vehicle wraps, this is important for later.) I had been working with a set of customers (3 guys, also important) with a design for a while and they were being difficult. Nitpicking everything, wanting me to use copyrighted images, not understanding that I am not a magician and cant just poof exactly what they want into existence. I need TIME to do things and they aren't my only customers. They also don't have emails so all proofs were done by them coming into the shop.

So last Thursday I woke up with a terrible sore throat after going to bed feeling like garbage the night before. I'm super prone to strep throats so I scheduled an appointment at 8:30 am to get a test done. I could have scheduled earlier but I knew the customers were coming by at 8:00 am to see the designs and I wanted to be there.

I clock in at 7:45 am and have everything ready for them. By 8:20 am they have still not shown up and I can't wait any longer to head to my appointment. Thankfully I tested negative and when I got back to work by boss told me they were in at 9:30 and wanted to talk to me about the design and would come back by at 3:00 pm. I said cool and went about my day.

At 2:00 pm I get a call from my husband saying he was injured at work. He is a PE teacher at a school for kids with behavior issues so it's not unusual that he has an injury however this was a head injury and the on site nurse is going to take a look and make sure it doesn't need stitches and stops bleeding. Cause you know head wounds.

At 3:15 pm, my guys still haven't shown up. My husband is cleared as not needing anything immediately but is calling the company's workman's comp to get stuff sorted. He can't drive so he has a coworker drop him off at my job. He's chilling with me while I keep working and he takes care of the calls. Around 3:45 he realizes the head wound is still bleeding some and he needs to go to the walk in. I head out at 4:00 pm and my boss says he will take care of the guys if they bother to show up. My husband ended up needing two staples and is doing fine.

The next morning, I get to work around 7:45 am. There is a white truck, our company truck and a couple of my coworkers cars in the parking lot. Because we do a lot of vehicle wraps its not unusual for there to be vehicles dropped off overnight so I think nothing of the white truck. But as I am approaching the door and pulling my keys out I hear some doors slam and a male voice say "Not getting away from us this time!"

Guys, I thought I was about to die! Who says that to a woman alone in a parking lot? I spin around prepared to chuck my coffee and run when I realize it's the customers. I glare at them before turning back around and heading in the door. After I clocked in I had my boss wait on them. I also handed the order off to one of my male coworkers because I am not messing with them anymore. You can't blame me for not being there when you consistently miss appointments and then scare the shit out of me before I am even clocked in.

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER:

Moved to North Dakota this fall. We heard that summers are fun and winter is beautiful. We think there is no more beautiful a place in the whole world!

December 8 - 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9 - We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.

This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12 - The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14 - Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15 - 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16 - Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17 - Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God! I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20 - Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but. they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22 - Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob-who has a plow on his truck-for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying.

December 23 - Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago. She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24 - 6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling, and then he comes down the street...at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents...but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.

December 25 - Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to feed her through a chipper shredder.

December 26 - Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27 - Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $4,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28 - Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29 - 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30 - Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.

December 31 - I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8 - Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed ???

Leah 12 to 20 Hearts Headcannon!

🎨 12 heart event: You see Leah in the forest, she's happy to see you and asks if since you're in the forest to if you would like to come scavenging with her. The two of you head out for the deeper part of the forest. Talking along the way. She sees something scavengeable and picks it up. (How long have you been scavenging for?) She says she's been doing this for a few years now and finds a brown mushroom after saying so. (How come you don't like Dandelions, I've seen you kick them before) She stops for a second and looks a bit upset. She explains that she just doesn't like them. You drop the subject, not wanting to start an argument. The two of you continue on. Picking stuff up when you see it. The two of you stop. There's two ways you can go. (Left or right.) If you pick left you find a few things. Leah says that even though the two of you didn't find a lot of stuff you should still head back because it's getting pretty late. If you pick right you walk for a bit having conversation along the way and find a large group of mushrooms. Leah is so happy, she gathers them all up and talks about what she's going to eat tonight. She thanks you for coming with her and gives you a kiss on the cheek. Giving the best mushroom in the bunch to you. The two of you head back to her cabin. She asks you if you'd like to stay for dinner. You agree.

🎨 14 heart event: Leah sends you a letter and asks you to come over to her house at around 4:00 pm. When you get there she asks you if you wouldn't mind modeling for her. You show up at 4. She's happy to see you and glad that the two of you can get started. She asks you to pose in a specific way and you stand there for a bit. After a while she asks if you feel good or want a break. (I'm good/ I could use a break). If you take a break she gives you a glass of water which you drink and then continue on. If you say you're good she continues on. The two of you talk as you go. After a while she says she's done. You stop posing and go and look at the painting she's made. It's beautiful, far better than you could ever do or look. (That's me?/ Wow that's Beautiful!) Either way Leah is super glad you like it. She's very happy you stoped by and loved spending time with you. She gives you a kiss and asks if you want to do so again, but maybe next time with less clothes on.

🎨 16 heart event: Only can occur at night between 8 and 11 pm. You run into Leah at the town square. She is glad to see you but looks a little nervous. You ask what's wrong. She says she's fine but a little cold. It looks to you that she's more than just a little cold. Like she's worried about something. (Ok if you say so. Stay safe.) She stops you before you head out and she asks if you can walk her home. You agree, happily. (Did you want me to walk you home? Maybe it'd be warmer if we walked to your cabin together.) She says she doesn't want to but changes her mind and says she'd like it if you walked her home. You two head home. She thanks you and holds onto your arm. Still a bit nervous looking she makes conversation. Asking how the farm is doing and tells you about her art. The two of you make it to her cabin. She thanks you for walking her home. You ask her if she's ok. She says she's fine now and feels a lot better. You are glad to see she's good and depart for your farm. Leah locks the door as you leave. Suddenly a shadowy figure appears, leaving shortly after. (This shadow is supposed to be Kel, Leah's controlling ex-boyfriend.)

🎨 18 heart event: The farmer shows up at Leah's place. Leah is happy top see them, giving them a hug. Leah didn't expect the farmer to show up. The farmer seems nervous. Leah asks what's up. The farmer doesn't say anything at first. But they step back and show they had a gift for Leah. Leah is shocked and very happy. She opens up the box to see the present that the farmer made for her. (It's a chicken sculpture, it's art supplies, it's a truffle(one of Leah's favorite foods)). Leah is super happy about the fact that the farmer took the time to give them (Leah) something. Chicken Sculpture: Leah knows the farmer isn't an artist, but is still so happy that they tried so hard at making them something. It looks a little lumpy and off shaped but Leah still loves that you took the time to make her something. And is really touched that you care so much. She gives you a kiss, thanking you again for taking the time to make something so nice for her. Art Supplies: Leah is so happy that you got her something that would be so useful to her in the future. She says despite the fact that her art did sell pretty good (either on the website or at the town art show) she still has trouble buying new art supplies because some can be a bit expensive. She says she wants to show you the artwork she's been working on recently. As you are looking at the artwork she's been working on she gives you a kiss on the cheek. Truffle: Leah is super excited that you got her a truffle. You know it's one of her favorite foods. She says how much she loves truffles and her getting one from you makes it even more so. She asks if you want to split it, you say yes and are happy she wants to share. The two of you heat half of the truffle you got for her. It's delicious and the two of you spend time afterward talking and enjoying each other's company.

~ Marriage~

~•●Lord Sukuna in love with one of his maids●•~

CH.2. - The voices are getting louder.

Message from creator(me): Chapter two and one are available on Wattpad, link in comments!🩵

[I will say the story shortly, Lillian did something wrong, and Lord Sukuna had to learn her a "lesson"]

After Lillian said everything, your eyes widened at her words. You couldn't believe that she needed to go through all of that. You got up from bed and thanked her for telling you. You walked towards Kayla's room, knocking on her door. It was about 7 A.M.

"You can come in!" Kayla said. You opened the door and saw Kayla on the floor, doing something with her hands.

"Hah, what are you doing?" You asked, walking to her and leaning down to see what's happening.

"Trying out my curse..."

"But you don't have a curse..?"

*exactly.*

You both fell into laughter. You got up and walked to the door.

"Make sure Lord Sukuna doesn't see you..." You said, looking at Kayla. Her eyes were wide open, looking at the door. You tilted your head in confusion. Kayla got up from the floor, bending. You realized what's happening. You turned around and saw Lord Sukuna at the back, his two arms crossed, and the other two on his waist. You bent too.

"Sorry, my Lord..." You both said, your voice shaking. He laughed.

"No need to apologize. I know you were just joking around. Make sure not to make any mistakes like Lillian..." Sukuna said and left. You and Kayla looked at each other, sighing. You felt a bit bad what Lord Sukuna did to her.

It was around 8 A.M. and Kayla headed back to sleep. Another maid, called Mimi, woke up and needed to help you prepare breakfast for Lord Sukuna and others (maids). You two were talking while making it. You placed the food on the table, and Mimi helped you. Mimi walked towards Lord Sukuna's room and knocked. She came in and told him that breakfast was ready. He nodded and changed his clothes. Mimi headed back to you. You called other maids.

After some time, when you all ate breakfast, everyone walked to the room they needed to work. You, of course, needed to clean Lord Sukuna's room. While you changed the bed blanket, you saw cum on it. You were disgusted and tried not to touch it.

After time passed, you were done. You breathed out and walked outside, pulled the wire where dry clothes were on. You placed the clothes back in the basket, flopping them softly.

You came back inside and placed the stuff where they needed to go.

It was around 2 PM. and it was time to rest, even though you all didn't have anything to do. You all, maids, walked into the meeting room, where only maids were allowed. You talked there and had fun.

After about two hours, you were all still in the room. Lord Sukuna opened the door, and all the maids and you bowed down to him. He looked at you all.

"Y/N, make sure to be in my room in 5:30 P.M., or you will regret it." Sukuna said with an angry voice, leaving and closing the door. Everyone looked at you. You were shaking and scared, just a bit. Others tried to calm you down. You calmed down and sighed.

At 5:20 P.M. you were in your room, changing your clothes. When you were done, Kayla knocked and came in.

"I wish you luck..." She said, looking at you.

"Thanks.. that's indeed. I hope he doesn't - "

"We hope on that too. Are you sure he saw you?" Kayla asked

"Yeah... I'm a thousand percent sure... he looked at my eyes."

"It's okay. We all are by your side." Kayla said, placing her hand on your shoulder. You both smiled at each other.

"Kayla! Come here, we're about to start!" Someone said from the meeting room.

"It's my time to go. I wish you luck again and praying to you." Kayla said and left. You sighed.

It was 5:29 P.M. You were standing in front of the room of Lord Sukuna. You looked around, thinking he wasn't there. All of a sudden, he opened the door, and you sighed softly. He laughed.

"I'm sorry, my Lord.. I-I didn't know you were in there, and..-"

"No worries. I didn't know you were here either. Come in." He said, his voice softer than usual. You walked into the room and knelt on the floor in front of Lord Sukuna's throne. He sat on the throne, looking and exploring every piece of your body.

"So, you dared to come into my room and spy on me?" He asked, his voice still soft. You didn't look at him. You looked at the floor.

"I'm sorry, my Lord... I was just curious, and... I..." You said, your eyes watering. He sighed and got up from the throne, walking towards you and placing his hand on your chin, lifting it up to look at him.

"Lok at me when I'm talking to you. You wanna know what I did to your dear friend Lillian?" Sukuna asked, his voice becoming more serious.

"I already know, my Lord..." You said, your eyes still covered in water. He looked down at you and brushed the teat with his thumb.

"Oh, so she told you? Such a pity, I wanted to say every single thing I did and said..." Sukuna said, walking around you. You didn't say anything. You were just watching the floor and brushing away your tears.

You snapped out of the real world, thinking about what he would do to you now. The voices were getting louder in your head. Sukuna was just looking at you, chuckling. He again placed his hand on your chin, lifting your head up.

"Hey, come to the real world, Y/N..." Sukuna said, looking straight into your eyes. You shaked your head before coming back.

"Sorry, my Lord..." You said. .

Okay, so today I commuted to work for the first time because I currently don't have a driver's licence and cannot use my car (hooray...) It was much easier than I thought. The stops were pretty much all next to each other. I arrive, go to the other side and take the next tram that comes. The only part where I had to wait longer than five minutes is on the way back where I have a 20 minute time window until the bus comes. However, if I would leave earlier to catch the bus in a window of three minutes, I wouldn't have time to eat at work, so I think I rather take the extra time to feel well instead of being home an hour earlier. It is very much doable, but lengthy. Yeah, it takes its while. I am travelling for a minimum of 90 minutes. Almost two hours on the way back thanks to the wait time. I wouldn't do this forever, temporary is okay. Still, I kinda hope my husband comes back home so I can take care of him and don't have to commute so much. I talked to my boss and offered that I can give my husband to my inlaws once a week and come work from 8 AM to 3 PM, so basically a six hour day, to get some stuff done. He was fine with that. If my husband won't come home, I will ask my boss for one day off each week because I start earlier and leave later thanks to the commuting, so I will rack up some extra hours. It would help me getting stuff done (like buying cat food or my housework) and it will let me rest a bit.

Amateur astrological outlook: Friday, September 20th, 2024

It's been a wild week, and as we stand on the precipice of fall (or spring for you Southern hemisphere folks), things stand to get wilder. If the full moon in Aries earlier this week got you off-kilter, you might realize it's still a little hard to stand up straight. Don't rush it.

For tomorrow, Friday, September 20, 2024: That Sun-Neptune opposition hits at around 8 pm, and the Sun-Pluto trine will grow throughout the day. Likewise, that Sun-Uranus trine from Thursday will fade. Mercury will square Jupiter on Saturday, but we'll feel its effects throughout Friday evening and into the night. Basically, lots of challenging aspects hitting late. If you like quincunxes, you got two: Venus-Uranus hitting at 2 pm and Venus-Neptune starting to form for a Saturday surprise.

As for Moon stuff: Most of the Moon's work happens in the morning. It'll go Void of Course when it squares Pluto at about 4:30 am, then enter Taurus about a half-hour later. At around 8:00 pm, it'll sextile Mars.

The forecast: Sit this weekend out, at least at the start. You're not going to get much done if you try and over-exert yourself. You'll do yourself a favor if you wrap up your work, get some take out, and snuggle under the covers. That Taurus Moon wants you to lay low, warning you that Venus's quincunxes and the Sun's opposition with Neptune will only bring you bad news if you rebel against them. Sure, you could go out, but as soon as you get far enough away from your house, you'll have serious FOMO about being back in bed.

Boilerplate disclaimer: Forecasts written from the Eastern Time Zone (GMT -4). I’m using two-degree orbs for these forecasts and utilizing a mix of the Planetdance software and Astro-Seek to calculate positions and aspects. Your mileage may vary. Blame the stars, not me.

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER:

Moved to North Dakota this fall. We heard that summers are fun and winter is beautiful. We think there is no more beautiful a place in the whole world!

December 8 - 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9 - We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.

This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life!

December 12 - The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14 - Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15 - 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16 - Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17 - Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God! I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20 - Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all day. The damn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but. they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.

December 22 - Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob-who has a plow on his truck-for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying.

December 23 - Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she, nuts?!! Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago. She says she did but I think she's lying.

December 24 - 6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling, and then he comes down the street...at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents...but I was too busy watching for the damn snowplow.

December 25 - Merry f---ing Christmas! 20 more inches of the damn slop tonight - snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to feed her through a chipper shredder.

December 26 - Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27 - Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $4,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28 - Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!

December 29 - 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30 - Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted.

December 31 - I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8 - Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed ???

Thoughts for Today

The sun is up. Earlier each day and longer in the evening. Sunrise was at 6:20 am and sunset will be at 8:02 pm. Longer days will be nice. I will miss snuggle time on the couch with the dogs but I will be able to get some hobby’s and chores done.

Yesterday was a good day except for a couple of speed bumps here or there. I helped a friend pack up the remaining items left in her mom’s house and then there is the chore of hauling those boxes out to the garage. These are the items left over from an estate sale. This is an emotional task for her. Items of her parents that meant something to them or to others is not for the faint of heart. I know this due to my parent’s passing away and yet her parents are still here, only they live in homes, not their home. Older age makes it hard for elders to live on their own sometimes. And they can only take so many items with them to the small room they have to live in.

So the packed up items are not garbage. Items have been gone thru and the garbage hauled to the dump. These things are glass wear, crafts, Christmas, dishes, China bought in Chinatown in San Francisco, pictures, and the list goes on and on. All great items to be sold in a resale store.

The things were loaded up in cars and a pickup. An unexpected downpour happened as the items went to the resale store. That store didn’t want to deal with a bit of rain on boxes. Turned away…….. not at one store but two. Painful. Painful for my friend that now must wonder what to do with the items.

I posted that if anyone had suggestions. People posted to have a “Free” sale on Facebook. That would mean more time spent dealing with stuff. It’s been boxed, done with, so over it…… and now you suggest to open up the boxes and let folks come over for how long to look at things and then what? Oh, re-box the once again left overs and take it away? This is already an emotional time and people are tired, worn thin, and just want it gone.

I remember my parent’s house. My brother’s and I went thru the house and made sure that what my mom wanted for us individually, was taken by that person. Then came the items that were for anyone and who gets what type of thing. People’s emotions came into this time and attitudes, feelings, and it wasn’t pretty. One brother didn’t care what he got and the other brother was there like a vulture. I only tried to make piece between them and go with the flow. I ended up having a garage full of stuff that took me years to let go of due to emotions and strange attachment to stuff. Stuff is just stuff, memories last forever. No one cares about a picture or a chair. Memories.

This is why I can now look at things in my house and get rid of stuff. My kid won’t understand the sentimental value of something. He’s a guy who doesn’t see the history in the items that matter to me. Oh, I keep knickknacks and dishware that matters to me. Once I’m gone, I do not want to leave a house full of stuff that will be taken to the resale store. This is why I am trying to minimize my life. It makes it easier to clean and take care of and that makes me happy. There will always be piles of books no matter what. Pictures of places I have been. Hawaii items here or there. Dog stuff. And cleaning items used for work.

I was very upset at my favorite store I go into to look for treasures. I did unload my car at the store when I was there to drop-off stuff and find out that they turned the pick-up away. Rain happens. Tears of struggle at letting go of items that made a house a home also rain down. Donations that can help others is why we donate to the local place. Yes, I donate to Goodwill if I have no other choice. Goodwill had been to have goodwill and help many people but they only help the corporate greedy. I am done with helping corporate greed. I tell folks to buy local, small farms, small businesses, and help in our community.

From this, I hope you always have a tarp to cover your truck load. Lesson learned. Understand why I speak of getting rid of stuff that just takes up room. I see too many houses that have plenty of stuff and no room for most of it. It causes anxiety and stress. I’m not picking on anyone here…… if this makes you feel guilty, well, that’s on you. I only know how it works for me. I need less stress…… more time to enjoy simple things.

Well, time to get myself together, make the bacon, and get going. I have my friends parent’s home to clean and get ready for sale.

And that’s the way it is……….

2.23.23 Thursday

7:39 am

I have the windblow trap...I feel hurt here in Cavite.... Some people are bully kind here in Cavite and for me that is the worst kind of people and upbringing to their kids...

8:25 am

I wouldn't mind being bisexual if it's Mitch... Coz I know her 100% and all her monster's... She is the only one. I just feel that the presence of Mitch is somewhere but I can't believe it...What I mean, I know she is happily married...I respect that...

It is just weird if Mitch is wandering somewhere... I can't believe it... The spirit and flesh of Mitch is with the people here in Cavite... I have the windblow trap and it's hard to believe....I know she is working and happy with her husband...

I had a dream that Mitch was always at my back that I couldn't remember myself "those days" that first "whisper" were all gone and it happened again... But it was like a shadow in my dream...

But I still wanna man in my life coz I need the penis....It makes everything normal... It makes the sensation to the fullest... I want penis... I still wanna man in my life...

I want men's friends... I still feel ugly and fat...Still, on and off I feel self-pity... Where am I? Where am I???

I want a happy road....I miss some of the old roads... But I think it's all gone...

I'm lost now... Where am I??? I WANNA LEAVE THE HOMETOWN...

8:56 am

Oh! I forgot I still have sciatica and I feel insulted for 16 years that these ritual made me feel ugly and fat...

I wanna meet men who can accept me...All of my exes were pretty and tall and I hope they are not stabbing me negatively at my back... It is good to remember good all days and sweet sensation...

What else? I have sexual fantasy on the arab men and other foreign substance... I don't know why...Coz it is in my head...What if I feel the arab men and feel the other foreign substance... My soul flies on its own sometimes,wishing to feel it again and feel him...

It is my right... I do have a psychiatrist in Makati Med funny she is the head doctor in mental health, I opened everything but this one, not yet... But my psychiatrist told me to be professional or it is ohkay to get a job for awhile or to be on TV... But the main thing is to get a job... My psychiatrist is old and nice but looking forward to have younger psychiatrist and talk about my sexual preferences...

I feel fat and ugly...

10:35 am

Done, my sweet and sour fish tilapia for today.

Still, thinking of money and wanna buy stuff like bags and new wallet of lv even authentic for now but hoping to have from the actual lv shops....

I remember Ms Enaoj she doesn't have peeler in her kitchen but she got 2 or 3 super sharp knives... I asked her why you don't have a peeler Ms Enaoj? She answered me coz I'm not really using a peeler, I have a sharp knife. Hmm... I was quiet and I think this Ms Enaoj is a super weird and strange woman. But it is a lesson learned, sometimes you just need a sharp knife than a peeler.

6:42 pm

Uncle Jun asking for 100 but I don't have extra cash now.... Some other time again...

I still need to get a job angels... I feel bitterish.. I need money as well for my stuff and wanna travel...

I wanna be center again and have men's friends with stable mind set and willing to piggyback me... I really wanna be with pretty face and taller than me. Coz I was able to get attention of my exes before... The face of exes were really pretty... I FEEL BITTER THESE DAYS... Because of my situation now, coz of this windblow I can't exist..

I feel bitter...I was able to get attention of men before and able to get men's friends...Since, 2007 everything was stolen the good thing my memory came back that I was spoiled and I had yaya but the bad thing now, I can' prove myself that I was spoiled coz I'm not spoiled anymore...

One of my bitterness was Maruh but I know that wasn't his true name and he made me feel ugly and fat... He was my schoolmate I know in Immaculate Conception Academy higher batch, year 2017 we just met again in Teleperformance Makati...But during high school I didn't mind him coz I was still innocent and I was always in the church-the church of christ and we all know we are not allowed to have a bf outside our religion and I was a baby way back and innocent and adjusting for some reason...

I hate Maruh for ignoring my hints and signal... Meaning he turned me down and I couldn't accept it! I don't want him to be happy or be with anyone, I want him to be gay....Is he gay? That's why I wasn't able to get him... I heard he fucked with the powerful artist on tv and fucked with foreigner and I was foreigner... He fucked with one of the nightingales classmates that I had in my caregiving class course, he fucked with younger than me...That's bullshit!

I feel bitter angels!!!

Damn Reuben sandwich or pizza

I decided on November 7, 2018 at 5:30 am I'm going by bus to Hy-Vee for the items I will need. After my husband leaves at 6:20 am I grab my backpack and walk out the door. Walking the 2 1/2 blocks to the bus stop by Casey's on main Street. There I wait till I see another bus coming the other way.

Looking for cars I cross in the middle of the street. Not thinking the curb could be wet and slippery so I hurried across were I missed the curb and slipped then hitting the curb with my left wrist along with the weight of my body.

Ending in the street in pain knowing I had to get myself up and back on to the curb before I get run over by a car, dump truck and the city bus.

Now there is only one thing I can do start walking up the street to the hospital. After walking 5 blocks I entered the hospital walked up to the window for the ER. Showing my ID and telling the person behind the window what I just did. Signing in at 7:10 am then going through the doors were I picked up some paperwork to fill out while waiting for someone to enter were I'm waiting.

About 10 or 15 minutes later a nurse comes in and checks my left wrist while taking my blood pressure and pulse then he applies an ice pack to my wrist then walks out coming back a few minutes later with a wrap. Wrapping up my wrist and reapplying the ice pack he tells me to wait and a doctor will see you soon. The nurse comes in one more time and puts on a brace over the wrap then leaves again.

Which seems like forever before the doctor comes in she takes off the brace and wrap looks at my left wrist which is very very swollen and black and blue up to my elbow. Then she lets me know I'm going to need x-rays done. Next stop x-rays then back to my room and wait for the doctor again. Another 10 or 15 minutes later the doctor returns to let me know I have a hair line fracture in my left wrist. Then she asked if I needed something for the pain saying yes she gives me a shot. Making sure that I keep the wrap and brace on. Also reminding me to make an appointment with my doctor A. S. A. P.

Now I can leave and it's 9:45 am before I walk out of the hospital. Walking back home the 8 blocks. Taking my time and thinking about what to do next.

1: Call the doctor

2: Call the Cedar Falls public library to let them know that I can't help them out for Lit-con this year. Which I never made the call.

3: Try to figure out how to do all the other stuff I do.

Getting home and walking in the back door around 11:35 am seeing trouble wants to be feed. After getting my shoes, sweatshirt,long sleeve shirt and back pack off. Which is harder to do with one hand. It's time to feed trouble and wait for Doug to call.12:15 pm Doug calls and I tell him about slipping and falling down and going to the ER.

Next Wednesday had doctor appointment with x-rays still fractured and I am only to wear the brace hoping to get it in a cast. Not this time.

Friday November 14th I helped her up for Lit-con up stairs in the meeting room moving around a lot of chairs. Also in the community center wereI moved around chairs too..

Saturday November 15th I volunteered all day for Lit-con in full costume including brace. Had a great time saw a lot of great people and great costumes only thing I wished I would have brought my digital camera but it would have been a little hard to use it with a brace on and with the cane I was using too.

Two weeks later went to Walmart and got everything I needed for making Reuben sandwiches and pizzas.

Every 3 weeks had doctor appointment with x-rays to find out I'm healing nicely but still no cast. On December 29th last doctor appointment with x-rays to get the same answer I'm healing nicely and I won't get a cast. January 13th I can finally take off the brace for good.

how i've been surviving my second semester

not really big on tips with academics, more of staying and feeling alive on 12-hours class days

ive been mentioning in some of my posts that i have 11 to 12 hours class schedules this semester, and those days (wednesday and thursdays) are probably the most difficult days to squeeze in study time after class... especially wednesday since for thursday there's 4 major subjects to study for. and since the semester is ending, i'd like to share the things i've been doing because surprisingly i haven't felt any signs of burn out since this second semester.

note: i have a pretty lax schedule aside from wednesdays and thursdays this sem so most likely i won't be able to abide by these the following semester once our hybrid classes start + different schedule

1. workout first thing in the morning

started this one with just planks before and it helped me a lot with back pains due to sitting the whole day since after my last class at 7:30 pm, I would still continue to study after eating dinner, feeding Luna and so on. and recently i've been doing a 15-minute work out of 2-3 sets depending how much time i have before class starts and = instant energy boost. i noticed i didn't need to nap as much as i used to, but once i get to nap, i would feel all my tiredness from the day

2. sleep early on other days (M, T, F, St, Sn)

honestly still working on this because i like to do a lot of stuff within a day because i like getting things done as soon as possible and in advance for more leisure time + more time to do extra readings/notes and etc but this one is a necessity to lessen the probability of getting burnt out

3. supplements + caffeine

bee pollen supplement, vitamin c and collagen are the ones i take daily. aside from energy boost, as someone who hates being sick and doesn't like taking meds, i should keep myself healthy. i think caffeine, coffee speaks for itself for a 12 hr class haha

4. wednesday no-sleep

as much as possible i dont like doing this because not only is it a bad practice but since my wednesday schedule is 7:30am to 7:30pm and i have 4 major subjects on thursday, i need to sacrifice sleep to read through and study for those subjects especially during pre-exam week and exam weeks.

5. study buddies~ (+fun break times)

my group of friends from senior year has been a big help with this, we go on discord almost everyday and even though we are all from different majors (respiratory therapy, physical therapy, nursing, medical technology, architecture, marketing) we like hanging out on dc to study together for accountability and additional fun for studying :) we also have break schedules like wordle time at 12 mn where we all drop what we're doing (unless its very important) and go on wordle.

6. n a p s

this speaks for itself + i mentioned lots of times i love naps, sleeping in general since i was a kid. please make sure you take naps whenever you can, even a quick 15- to 20-minute nap could be an instant energy charger + it's also a break for our brain, to enhance memory and performance.

7. time management/prioritize

hmm another thing i'm still really working on, but since my gap year i like making to-do lists the night before and now i would make a list of things i need to do and highlight them in different colors for those i need to accomplish within the week and on another sheet of paper i would write down 3-5 tasks to get done within the day. +

8. not skipping meals

i used to not like eating breakfast but i've been practicing to do so recently because it's a necessity and since i worked out, i need to recharge or else i would fall asleep during morning class and even just a simple oatmeal is a big help with concentration (+ to avoid diabetes since both of our parent's family have a big history with diabetes mellitus, type 2) and i think there's a lot of people the same as me that when i really focus on something there's that tendency to put aside meals and eat once i get done and it's not a healthy thing to do especially since working/studying requires a lot of brain energy + energy in general, which we get from eating meals on time to avoid additional stressors such as stomach pain or headache from skipping/missing meal time. that being said, let's also eat healthily

9. cold shower before class

i swear i can never focus if i don't shower with cold water in the morning, especially with these kinds of schedule. it really wakes me up and theres a lot of benefits to showering with cold water (+ i live in a tropical country, it helps lessen me being irritable with the heat especially this summer time, specifically from 9-12nn, then i would shower again before lunch time gets done because it's also really hot at 1 to 4pm)

10. stretching

12 hours of class sounds bad but continuously sitting down for 12+ hours with pre-class and post-class study sessions is BAD. i can't begin to imagine how painful my neck, back and glutes would be if i don't move around every after 2 hours or whenever i can. im actually requesting to my mom if we could have a bar height table when we move so i could study/attend class with the option to just stand whenever i want to.

11. don't forget to wind down

personally i love going on a bike ride and walk around our village with the intention to just breathe in some air and do some sight-seeing, relax to wind down. sometimes i would do those to work out or do other exercises to sweat out the day's stress. other than those, sleep, read, watch, browse through my coloring books and do some coloring are other ways i like to wind down. another important note to not go to bed with a headache and/or get burnt out easily.

12. last but not the least, HYDRATE

water, water, water. sometimes i infuse my water with cucumber or lemon but usually it's just ice cold water in my 750mL flask and i would drink every now and then, especially when i can't focus/feel sleepy and refill at lunch, mid-afternoon and dinner. i also like drinking cold water as soon as i wake up and it's just really a necessity.

What 2020 has taught me

1. Those things that seem like content for sci fi or pure fiction are actually things that can happen. To the entire world. Like a pandemic. And to you. Like a seizure.

2. Everyone is sad. Everyone is struggling. In different ways and in different measures. Makes no one special. But you still get to feel sad for yourself and be compassionate towards others. But it's also okay to draw boundaries because you're everyone too. Remember, not special? You're sad and trying to deal with it too.

3. Every job you have will not add value to your life. It will not teach you new things or give you people you'll want to stay in touch with. Sometimes some jobs will only be a season of your life. Even if the season lasts for over a year. It's okay.

4. You know how you thought picking a college and picking a major and picking your first job and picking a specific industry were all the career decisions you had to make? Yeah, no. It's never a one time thing. You could have a job as a marketing strategist for two years and then want nothing to do with it. And then you'll have to make another decision and work towards it. So I'd like to call it moves. It's like chess. You always have to make a move. And it always has to be strategic, yes. But the truth is in your 20s it probably won't. Even if you try. And as long as you're trying, you'll be fine.

5. You may have different sorts of friends like the one you only talk to about kdrama with or the one you met when you went book shopping alone and the friendship is all about books really. That's normal. But irrespective of why and how you became friends with them, if you consider them a friend then there has to be this basic sense of care, respect and empathy for each other. I don't care what people want to say. If you're faced with the worst trauma of your life, the least your friends can do is check up on you regularly. On text. And if they don't even do that then guess what? They aren't friends. They are acquaintances. Social media and quick promises make everyone seem like your friend. But they are not. They are just nice people who will be nice to you for specific periods and then wander away like you are a speck of dust floating in their journey.

6. You speak a lot and write and you express yourself and you’re emotionally mature but oh my god. You still hold in so much. You’ve known that at a subconscious level and over the last year people - experts - have told you that. You have also realized that you make your pain and sadness about pettier things because dealing with them, admitting about them, sharing that with your friends, is easier. You do that so that you don’t have to deal with the real stuff. Because it’s so damn painful. And you don’t know how to do it. Yet. Acknowledging is the first step anyway right? I know you’re confused about how exactly to let go of all this pain and sadness and feel lighter, and you know that talking to people really isn’t the solution, but I also know you’re smart enough to figure it out. 

7. Talking about being smart...you know you’re different than others. Better. Special. Smarter. None of these are the right words. And you never voiced this out until this year because you knew it would make you come across as narcissistic. Some would say it’s because you’re an INFJ. But my mother once said that this may be the first time we are consciously living life but our souls are old and so our instinct and the things we know but can’t explain are because this isn’t the first time for our souls. The connections we feel with certain people, the reason we are so different from our siblings who grew up in the exact same environment with the exact same opportunities, our sense of right and wrong...it’s all because our souls learn and grow with each time and that’s why we are who we are. I think that’s probably how I can explain what I have always felt. That I am living in a different universe than everybody but I have to pretend to be in this one and dumb my emotions and thoughts down. Maybe that’s because my soul has lived through thousands of years while most around me are living their 100th life. Or maybe I’m just narcissistic, who knows?

8. You shift between talking in first person and second person but that’s because that’s how you think in your head and talk to yourself and live your life. You ask yourself things and you accuse yourself of things and you apologize to yourself and you comfort yourself. I think that seeps into your writing and the changing of the voices. 

9. You always genuinely thought that you’d not be afraid of dying. And then what happened this October proved you shockingly wrong. I know it’s not so much being afraid of dying but the unbearable pain of knowing what that would mean to your family. So you have to be more prudent and less reckless with your life and the choices you make. 

10. Regret is not something that plagued you but this year the realisation and pain of giving away your favourite books from your own personal collection to people you care about as a show of affection and them turning out to be ass holes or losers has hit you so hard. So, yes. No more of that shit. I really fucking want my copy of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower back. UGH. With the childhood picture of me inside it! 

11. Sleeping at 5 am in the morning stops being fun or romanticised when you realise just how much harm it does to your body and mind. Literally every single disease and disorder can be traced back to a shitty fucking sleep schedule. It’s not just the hours you sleep but also the quality of sleep and the time you sleep at. So yes sleeping for 8 hours is healthy but not if that 8 hours is from 5 am to 12 pm. ‘Not a morning person’ is just another construct of capitalism and you don’t realise how many industries profit from having you believe that and staying up late or all night. Entertainment. Food. Alcohol. Pharma. Biologically and naturally you are a bloody morning person. And you don’t need 3 cups of coffee to begin your day or your phone notifications to get you to open your eyes and brain to wake up. 

12. Sometimes you really have to stop taking people so seriously. I know the idea of treating people as casual friends or entertainment makes you want to fight that concept but you know what? Some people like Pineapple are ever only going to be good for that. No matter how much they ‘grow and change’. So keep them in the background for whenever you want some entertainment or drama. But please don’t clear up your busy schedule to meet them or send them gifts on their birthday. 

13. If you don’t have the fruit juice or green juice within half an hour of making it then you are losing out on its most optimum health benefits. Or when you remove the white stringy stuff from oranges. That’s where all the actual nutrients are.

14. I am privileged and so are most of the people I interact with. The global pandemic has been hell for a lot of people around the world. Health wise. Financially. Losing people they care about. But I was blessed enough to be safe at home and have a job that I could smoothly do from home and not have a pay cut or 4-hour long Zoom meetings. So honestly when my friends tell me 2020 has been bad I have to stop and ask them why? Yes, the crippling uncertainty and anxiety is not something that can be undermined. But most people I know had very great positive life-changing milestones this year like moving away to another country for college or taking their first solo trip or getting married. So I have to ask them. Because I am not going to agree that everybody’s 2020 and pandemic narrative is the same. 

15. Money gets spent really quickly. When I left my job earlier this year because of personal issues, I thought I had enough savings to last me a year. Full disclosure - I mean to last my personal expenses because I live with my parents. But it didn’t even last me 3 months. And so to use money wisely and buy things that provide utility than instant gratification is something to follow. Also buying one pair of really expensive but quality shoes is better than buying 5 pairs of affordable but low quality shoes that will have a very short life and force you to buy more. I know that higher price doesn’t always mean better quality but sometimes it does. And as an adult now I want to do the whole quality > quantity thing even with things and not just people. 

16. Everyone in their 20s went through a crisis of what they should do with their lives and their careers and it’s not unique to the 21st century and the challenges of today. Whether it was Vincent Van Gogh in the 19th century or Sylvia Plath in the 20th, every single person, as brilliant as them went through the torture of making these decisions and living with their consequences. You may think I picked wrong examples for they both killed themselves but you know what? They were the people who really want to live more than anyone. They knew what life meant. And maybe if mental health help was more accessible back then their lives would be longer and more peaceful. 

17. Telling people everything is overrated. You don’t have to talk about every single thing that’s on your mind or that’s going on in your life. The good and the bad and the mediocre. You have to be mindful about how much of yourself you’re giving away. 

18. Re-watch Suits when people at work feel intimidating because the confidence + negotiation tactics that they show can actually work irl cos at the end of the day no matter in what position you’re dealing with people who have emotions and fears and insecurities and desires. You understand how to leverage that nobody can get the better of you. 

19. You belong to yourself. No matter how much you love someone or how much they have done for you or how much you owe them - you belong to yourself. You can’t live your life for someone else. Everyone belongs to themselves first. No relationship, no promise, no circumstance should make you feel like you have to give up your life and make it all about them. If and when the time comes to die for them, go ahead. Take a bullet. Donate that kidney. Write them in your will. But live your life for yourself. And let them live theirs. 

20. Twenty three was a challenging year. When it started you claimed the age 23 sounds boring and insignificant. Guess it proved you wrong. It hurt so much now. But that only means you’ll look back on it later and see how it added so much wisdom and resilience to your being. It doesn’t mean that it makes all the bad things that happened to you okay. Or that you should be grateful to them. Fuck no. It means that you should be kinder to yourself because at the end of the day, your mind and body find it in themselves to deal with whatever is thrown their way. They have your back. It’s time you learn to sit straight.
