genuinely though i love and support the idea behind DIYing and thrifting a load of shit & i try to do that where i can but its absolutely unrealistic for so many ppl. especially DIY & yet ppl bring it up so cavalier.... like yeah of course its cheap when you already have all the tools, the talent, and the space to flip furniture in. but like if youre a complete amateur its genuinely scary and a complete gamble to sink a load of money, time, and resources into stuff... -_- and its like yeah. ofc its a skill that i would love to build, and i do think a base level of it is necessary. but its like... i can watch all the youtube videos i like and prep all i like. if i try to put panelling up by myself, being 5'2'' with no upper body strength, no space to work, and a physical awkwardness i can only describe as concerning, its like im gonna blow a hole in my pocket with my go-getter attitude twice as large when it comes to having to get someone to fix it too

I thought I managed to get through all the holiday travel without getting sick but lmao oh BOY have I been proven wrong. 😩 Rocking a fever and some sinus pressure/congestion that quite frankly should be illegal, though thankfully that seems to be the extent of it; nothing that screams Covid, thank God. Gonna be ushering in the New Year with cold meds and a lot of kleenex, apparently. 🤧🤒
