Alrighty, folks. We're re-sharing fundraising links again because I keep get various advice on how to best go about this. So let's fucking go.

Ok. So. For anyone that's not in the loop already: my beautiful darling wife is undergoing bottom surgery this November (2024). She has been absolutely blessed to be able to pay for the surgery itself. However, the recovery period for this surgery is 3 months long, which means she will not be working for 3 whole months. That's 3 months without her income. My personal employment situation is in a perpetual state of flux and confusion, so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to provide for us during that time. (Even if I did find more stable employment before then, I would most likely need to take the better part of the first month of recovery off so that I can help her. Which is also not helpful in regards to income.) We're not making enough right now to be able to save up money for her recovery period on our own, so here I am asking for help. We are hoping to meet our $4000 goal by the beginning of November so we know exactly what we're working with as we head into the recovery period. (This gives us about $1300/month which is the bare minimum we need to get by right now.)

I have two places you can go to help us out: our GoFundMe and my Ko-fi. In both places I am offering readings for donations, but there are some difference, which may be useful to keep in mind when donating and/or sharing the links around. I'll include that information below the line. Either way, all of the money is going towards our savings for her bottom surgery recovery. If everyone donates $1 and gets one other person to do the same and keep that chain going, I'm hopeful that we'll meet our goal. We appreciate whatever support you are able to give, even if it's just sharing the links around. Thank you. <3

- The GoFundMe is much more "generic" in appearance and good for sharing with folks who aren't necessarily into divination kind of things. There is a link on the page to fill out a Google Form specifically for rune readings if you'd like to donate here and still receive a reading. -The Ko-Fi has the readings much more on display, but still has the option for just simple donations and also has the goal number on display. I also offer oracle card and tarot readings here, in addition to runes, because it is easier to organize and take requests for readings on this platform. This is obviously better for sharing with folks you know are interested in readings.

On both pages just $1 gets you a single rune/card draw, so you can get a reading no matter how much you give!

Okay. Big decision but I think I'm going to apply for a Ph.D program in early 2025, and look at entering the program in September 2025. I'd be going to the U.K. to study and basically living over there. I wouldn't have any plans to live or work in the U.S.

Which is a very scary decision to make. But I think it's right.

Now plans always change but having a goal to look towards is making me feel better.

feeling dire

#definitely mostly pms but also other things . SCARED!!!#lots of stuff happening to create Perfect circumstances for me to have a very bad time #and generally. i am FAR more prone to depression than anxiety but atm i am a ball of nerves #meds on back order. Scary!!! makes me feel like i need to ration my current supply (i rly don’t)#SCHOOL. RLY SCARY. didn’t go to class today. So many assignedments to work on and they just keep piling up!!#need to meet w my prof abt research. SCARY!! bc i have been slacking like crazy 🫠#and the biggest anxiety inducer. Money!!! which is DUMB!!!! bc objectively i don’t need to worry!!!!!!!#but unexpected thangs are in motion so i am having to pay > $700 more than anticipated a month #which again. this is manageable. Not ideal but given my jobs i can handle it #i just wasn’t expecting it and now feel very out of sorts #since i was a little kid ive had this weird truly unreasonable and irrational anxiety abt money #and this is unfortunately triggering a lot of that again #which is bad bc it makes everything else spiral. ex. need to save -> buying less groceries/policing what i eat -> ed relapse #just feeling very very stupid and upset 🥴#pers

the fact that people own ipads sounds fake to me

#🧅#LIKE THAT IS 1000 DOLLARS AT LEAST #i've been saving up for seven years i am not kidding you and i havent managed to make that amount of money #and i keep saying that some day when i dont have exams and i dont have university i'll have the time to work an actual job that i;m not #called in once a month i might afford it but then i'll have pay bills so i still will not have that amount of money #technically for the next five years it's illegal for people to employ me because i'm in uni. which is. i'm a fucking idiot for signing up t #the university i got into this year without going and take exams again just so i can get student packs cause i dont even fucking use them #and i can't be legally employed. AND i've lost a year where i'm allowed student packs while i'll definitely need them when i ACTUALLY go to #university #i have zero money. well i have my savings but i am not fucking touching that ever because i'll move out next year and i'd like to not #actually have zero money #and like. greece is super based for free university and good on them. the way you get into said university is super fucked and impossible #bur whatever free university. BUT LIKE. why can i not work #not legally at least. i can still work and be payed without being officially hired but then than work won't count in any future subsidies #i'll definitely have because i literally wan to study theatre i'll be unemployed forever.#and i fucking hate it here #and this post was actually just meant to be about how expensive ipads are. but now its this whole rant.

im going to lose my fucking mind

#landlord STILL hasnt cashed the rent check which means every time my mom spends money we go under what we need for rent #so i have to send more fucking money to her #that shes going to spend #and im never going to be able to save anything to be able to move out #because now i have 250$ left in my account and most of that is gonna go to ubers for the next two fucking weeks #because my sisters job fucked up her schedule and keeps putting her on mornings and doubles #and wont let her take a break to come take me to work #and im just about to fucking lose it #cj.vent

Um. Day ruined :D

#i was planning out how to tell my mom i need therapy in a way that might have convinced her to at least let me make a test appointment #but then i properly looked up the financial stuff and since i don't want to tell my insurance so i don't have anything in my health record #and i'm not sure my insurance would pay for this kind of therapy anyway i'd have to pay the sessions privately #and those are between €50 and €150 depending on area and needs of the patient so let's say €100 on average #there's no way i'll pay that because i need to save some money for when i start working and may need to commute or rent an apartment #plus i'm not done with my driver's license so the next lessons and exam fee take up a lot more money and my family's struggling financially #so i can't afford to pay over €400 per month at least right now 😃#maybe when i have a job but for now i'll keep trying to fix myself without professional help and just based on books and websites #which is working but still i'm crying and annoyed #mel talks

A job! A Job! My surplus labor for a job!

#Notes by Nikki #I need money #money money money #I need to pay off my credit card bills #which is extra annoying #as I'm only in debt because I keep bailing out my brothers #and have yet to work up the courage to cut them off #the one hasn't paid on our (shared) car payment in months #on the car that I don't have any access to #and I should just fucking let it get reposessed #because I'm drowning trying to save him #I was DEBT FREE in 2020 with the stimuluses #but because he spent ALL OF *HIS* STIMULUSES #on non-car bills and trips and weed #I had to keep paying on the car just so he wouldn't lose it #and now I'M thousands of dollars in debt again #entirely because he's a selfish asshole #and the only reason that I'm even ON the car payment #is because I bailed him out in 2017 when his car died #and I used MY 401K to buy a car #and then had to pay the taxes on that #OUR MOTHER WARNED ME #SHE FUCKING WARNED ME #and he's too fucking proud to get a real job #instead he has a ''business'' doing construction for deadbeats #who either ghost or flake or don't pay #because he's too ''good'' for a food job or whatever #SUCK IT UP ASSHOLE AND PAY YOUR FUCKING BILLS #and I just KEEP LETTING HIM *DO* THIS SHIT #WHAT THE FUCK IS MY PROBLEM????

Ykno I had a thought of like "wow! I feel lighter (emotionally) than I have in days! What's going on?"

I think. Genuinely. It's just the Thought of taking the semester off. I haven't even emailed my advisor yet but even the Thought has me feeling lighter

No joke but school does some baaaaad things to my mental health

#speculation nation #it'd also give me more time to save up more money #bc i dont have as much as id prefer going into the semester :p #past few months have been fucking Hell for me & thus not the break i needed from summer #so... if i could just... have a few more months... that would help me sooo much #bc i really am not convinced i wont just crash and burn again. in fact i really think that's likely if i try again rn.#it's the best decision overall for me to take another semester off #yea it's frustrating to keep postponing shit. but i gotta think of the me here and now #and if i fail the classes anyways then thats a lot of money wasted and the same result time-wise but Worse #im. gonna try to remember to email my advisor today. bc i gotta double check to make sure it wont fuck with my probation #bc id hate to be Dropped or smth bc of this lol. but assuming im safe from that. yeah i really think i should take the semester off #i just... dont think im in the mental state where i can handle any kind of school rn. work is enough.

life is a constant cycle of "if i do my physio will i have time to shower?" "if i shower will i have time to cook food?" "if i cook food will i have time to wash dishes?" "if i wash dishes will i have time to do laundry?" "if i do laundry will i have time to clean my house?" "if i clean my house will i have time to eat?" "if i do the things necessary for living will i have time to do my hobbies?" and between it all is Working A Job and having to replace things as they break without being able to buy anything you actually want

#i'm a little cynical currently #i have to buy a new mattress before my mom comes to stay #but i've needed new pillows for longer #and i need to save up for a minor surgery this summer god knows if i'll be able to #and my bread keeps getting moldy before i can eat it all #and i didn't have time to do my physio today because i had to do laundry and shower and cook #and in between all that i haven't had any time to do my hobbies #and now it's 10:20pm and if i go to sleep right now i'll get less than 8 hours of sleep but i want to write #or finish reading this graphic novel a coworker lent me #and i worked 7 days last week and i'll be working on easter friday and sunday this week #and because i'm salary i don't get extra money for doing that #idr the last time i had a day off where i didn't have to go anywhere #i'm getting saturday off this week and i have to go to my dad's house for dinner because i had to cancel sunday #and i really want to sit down for a day and just write and draw because i miss it #damn #i need to use my vacation days soon or i'll go insane #i built a frame for a painting yesterday while i was at work out of stolen materials #it's sitting on my coffee table unfinished #idk when i'll be able to paint and finish and hang it #idek where it's gonna go maybe it'll be the first thing hung in my bedroom or something

me, before learning about the scary canyon road: Yeah, I’ll learn to drive eventually… probably this summer, I guess… But first I’ll need to read through the driver’s manual again and take notes and it’ll be a whole process and take a lot of time so idk… We’ll see…

me, less than 24 hours after learning about the scary canyon road: I have read the entire driver’s manual front to back and committed all relevant information to memory. I am consistently scoring 100% on the state’s online practice tests and I want to take the real one as soon as my cousin leaves from their visit next week. I am physically and spiritually unstoppable.

#THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME #but if this is what i needed to get her done? then by gosh i’m glad it’s happened like this #i am soooooooooo excited #and the thought that i could get my full license and start working at the bird store by the fall????? EXHILARATING!!!!!!!!!#i’ve wanted to get a job for SO long but it just wasn’t feasible when i couldn’t drive #(since i live in a place with p much no public transport options and nothing within walking distance)#but NOW…. ohohohohohohoho!!!!!!!!!!#i can make MONEY again and save up for my own trips and stop feeling guilty for every dollar i spend! imagine it!#AND!!!!!! i can establish myself at the bird store and put into place my ten-year plan to have ownership of it passed on to me when the #owners retire!#then i’ll move to [redacted] to be closer to it!#which i might even do earlier depending on several other factors and whether my mom wants to move or not #i think she will… there’s not much keeping her where we currently live except my Mom-mom #it’s gonna be great! and it all starts with aceing this permit test!#and in a little over a year i will drive through that scary canyon because godDAMNIT i can do *ANYTHING*#i am PUMPED!!!!!!!!!#can’t wait to tell my cousin about all this!

i stayed after school but im leaving already. some random kid showed up and was there for a while so it wasn’t a good time really. and when i only get to stay after until 3:30 it hardly makes anything better than going home. i just feel bad for imposing myself

#i don’t want to go home #i should have told my mom to pick me up at 5 #this is nothing. why did i even bother #idk. me and my teacher talked about this summer and how im going to be trying to work a lot #he says i shouldn’t overwork myself like that. and i said i need to if i want to go to college #and he said that i shouldn’t even be trying to pay for college tuition and what i should be focusing on is money for living expenses in my #sophomore and junior and senior years. he says i should only do room and board for one year #and i should be saving for apartment expenses later down the line and don’t even think about paying off tuition until way after i graduate #and he said the universe will always provide. idk if im very convinced about that one #anyway we talked about that a little and then i brought up how im not good at keeping up with school #and he ended up saying i should probably work on my one assignment #and so i did and now im almost done. and somewhere within there some random kid showed up he had my teacher last year i think? or something #and im not good at talking when there’s more than one people in a room with me and so i just did my homework and was quiet #and my teacher started going home at 3:30 #so now im here. i left the classroom and now im just at school #since i don’t have a ride here yet. im not sure when my mom is gonna come get me #probably soon. and we have to get groceries on the way which i don’t really want to #but whatever. she’s giving me a ride #anyway i didn’t tell mr h about my concerns about the summer #i might still bring it up sometime. but i cant stay after tomorrow #and then it’s the last week of school and im really nervous about it being the last week of school #i want to go home but i don’t have the kind of home i want to go home to!!!!#and i don’t know what to do and that’s why im stuck like this #my mom is on her way to pick me up so i’ll be leaving soon #but yeah. idk. staying after was good i guess but i just don’t want to go home #im so scared of not having this option anymore

#i’m really going through it right now but i can’t even afford therapy anymore bc even tho i’ve been applying for jobs since May #only one got back to me but they said they weren’t interested in hiring only seasonal even tho they said it was a good job for students #or temporary workers to pad their resumes after long gaps which i have bc after i had to leave my job to go to chicago for school i’ve been #unemployed and constantly applying for work w absolutely no responses for the last 2 years #which was easier when i was getting unemployment but i used all of that up a long time ago and i keep getting hit w weird charges whenever #i manage to save up any money and i keep being put in the negative in my account #and i tried to open a threadless store just to get SOME money ANY money but no one really bought anything so i've lost all motivation to #add designs bc it's a lot of effort for no reward and i can't think of what to add that would interest ppl in buying my stuff so i can get #pocket change essentially and i'm about to enter my final semester and i have to put together my bfa show at the end of it and i don't have #any money to create anything that's worth anything or that would be a good representation of my ability as an artist bc everything costs #money and i think i made a mistake deciding to go to art school instead of doing literally anything else but i don't have any other skills #and i now i'm wondering if all that time i spent cultivating art skills i should've been learning a vocation so i could actually have a #future and i hate all of my classmates bc they're getting gallery jobs or work in the field and i'm just trying to get trying to see if i #can get a host position at a shitty restaurant again bc i just need any sort of paycheck so that i can scrape by #my posts #.jpg

came up with the script i wish i could yell at my parents while walking home. they've gotten so much worse in the last half year and i need to fucking escape !!!!!!!! it is not fucking healthy or sustainable to live like this, to be in this environment.

#you would never assume i go to a nice university if you saw the state of where i live #and its entirely bc of them they refuse to make any real purchases like a working oven or groceries they just want cigarettes #and nonsense from amazon and fast food that i cannot eat #the house smells like fucking smokes and trash bc they can't keep the space clean wven after you clean up #the car smells like smokes bc my dad smokes in the fucking car #and they smell like smoke and i cant breathe around them #they take off all the fucking time and leave me and my siblings to take care of ourselves (im the eldest theres children still!!)#they have no interest in my life bc its too much for their attention spans i begged them to read any articles i wrote bc i was so proud #and they just went hmm no i dont want to #they just.... they weren't great parents to begin with but they really did just fucking give up #my dad is absent emotionally and chooses to remain miserable & my mother is a teen sister that hates how her kids are more mature than her #it sucks it just fucking sucks and i need money to leave but its just impossible to save the funds while also funding my existence now #yeah im hating on smokers right now bc that alongside alcohol and gambling are fucking ruining my life and it's not even me doing any of it #I can't even drink and have fun bc i am reminded of my fucking family who get drunk and act horrible #I can't ever pick up a cigarette again either bc its like i just inhale the air in my house and its in me #i just fucking hate it so much their misery is ruining everything for all of us not just them #i dont fucking care if they want to make bad choices but leave your children alone you fucking freaks

also i cant even practice driving because our car is dead and our neighbor NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE so we cant put my dads car next to it to jump it. i want to scream. i guess it helps complaining though so i can stop thinking about it so much and getting so stressed. i just feel like i need to be doing 10000000000 things.

really i just need to do 2 things rn - call the test people & send an email to the dmv guys. then when those are done i can study. and if i have to make a psych appt it would be fine because i should ask for my as needed klonopin back because i think i am still good for the most part it's just my anxiety randomly goes thru the roof and i need help w it. (weed has been making it worse. why would my best friend weed do this to me...)

i also should really remember every day to take my mushroom supplement because i cant overstate how much of a diff it makes taking it regularly.

also i need my wife to stop asking about tax stuff for A Minute because i know what we are doing i just need time to execute it all and i have to do all of the above bullshit first!!!!!!

#like we need to send a mail version of our taxes bcs they wouldnt accept the gross income from last year as the right one?????????#so i have to send them in #and i want to be able to pay it in full!!!#so then our 23 taxes can be on a pay plan and then everything will be set up perfect and beautiful.#deep breaths.#im fine aghhhh #im so scared im gonna stress too much and make myself have more health issues #i need to be calmed #it really doesnt help that my love has no work rn and hasnt since august #bcs it means that i am paying for everything and it quickly gets overextended #so i CANT save anything. i can barely pay my credit cards and shit.#so like i havent been able to build up money to pay tax shit!!!!!#so i feel like i have to work MORE but i cant just make my current clients give me more work lmao #and so more work means making my free time into art for other people time #which i dont mind usually but rn its making my brain scream #so #i think i just need a Real Fucking Break no strings attached and also that doesnt cost anything and i get paid like normal during. haha #im hoping if i can somehow break down the driving stuff wall and get that done #that the combo of being able to drive to work and thus cutting off like 1-2 hrs of time from my work #and also doing less work and more school! will be good #i like school i really like in person classes #my brain just absorbs it all #ok im calming more now. im ujst so scared all the time #and im too good at keeping it to myself bcs i cant be Weak
