Real life has REALLY been hitting hard and getting in the way of writing and doing fun fandom stuff for a couple months now ðŸ˜
There’s good things happening too -- it’s not all bad, but damn, I just wanna write and forget about real life, ya know?!
* new A/C units were painfully expensive but our A/C works better than it has since we moved in and our electric bill is 1/3 less than it used to be!
* the new back door on the house was more expensive than I thought it would be and while replacing it they busted the OTHER door opposite so I had to replace BOTH back doors but they’re SO PRETTY
* my truck battery went out and I’ve had to coordinate friends/family picking things up for me (stuff at drive-thrus like meds) instead of doing it myself but Charlie replaced the battery yesterday (more money) and my truck is working great!
* big local ISP/cable company raised prices AGAIN so I said okay I’m done and have been switching my house, Charlie’s house, and the shop from Cox to other services -- it was A LOT of work, I’m only halfway done, but it’s saving TONS of money a month and we’re getting more channels and better service than before
* Verizon decided to up their prices AND start charging fees if you don’t replace your phone EVERY YEAR and with their service getting worse and worse I decided to switch us -- I haven’t started yet and it’s going to be a HUGE ORDEAL but it’ll be cheaper and hopefully my phone will actually work
* i think our roof might be leaking but i don’t even want to think about this one right now even though that’s a really bad thing to ignore
* both my aunt carol (mom’s sister) and my dad recently fell again -- not enough damage to require ER but it was enough to convince them to finally use walkers as it’s like fall #5 for both of them so that’s a relief
* I usually try to spread inventory re-orders out at the shop but about twice a year they all come due at the same time so I’ve been scrambling to order from NINE manufacturers and it’s so many things 😩 -- I’ve still got 3 places to go but good news is the shop is busy which means we’re making money
Aunt Carol hit her face when she went down, and the bridge of her nose swelled up so much we’ve been calling her a Bajoran (she’s a big Star Trek fan) and it makes her laugh so hard it hurts which is fun 😂
I need a nap, but I’m having trouble sleeping lately, and with all the home stuff going on, I haven’t been able to do my gum/my reset in almost 3 weeks, so my head stuff is flaring a bit.
I miss doing fandom things and gaming and writing 💜
