To the bitch who held up my line and made me ring up 345 dollars worth of groceries just to pretend your card didn't work and run out the door with all of it, fuck you. If I get fired because of you I will find you.

Despite the financial blows I've been taking these past few weeks, I AM feeling pretty good creatively, and I intend to take advantage of that while I can.

Also as a heads up on May 1 I'll be updating the shop with new listings, a comprehensive sizing guide, and updated pricing.

That'll be a Major Crochet Update.

On September 1st I'm aiming for a Major Bookshop Update, and I'll be teasing details about that later.

Four crochet bunnies (lime green, yellow, turquoise, and indigo) on a wood-pattern table, propped up against a Nintendo 3DS.

I've been forgetting to share updates but this is my 3rd order for bunny Keychains, ready to be sent to their new home!

This customer requested 4 bunnies, one yellow and the other three "surprise me"

And all I can think is someone is about to be big mad when they can't finish their series.

Sucks to suck, thief, use your own money.

I'm sitting here giggling to myself.

Last month someone got hold of my cashapp card info and bought themselves a Hulu subscription of all things. Hulu and cashapp weren't very helpful but I DID block Hulu on my cashapp.

So today I got a notif that a payment to Hulu was declined cause I blocked it,

Today is my day off.

I'm using it to painstakingly recreate the #undertale map in Minecraft. Cause I can.

The answer was "They learned it from humans"

In RL this riddle makes no sense but in the dream world it was exactly what I needed to decide I was gonna go ask a dragon to teach me to use the power I inherited.

🤷‍♀️

Had a really nonsensical dream about inheriting magic that was too strong for me so I kept hurting people whenever I tried to use it.

And then I remembered a riddle that an old hermit told me would solve my problem that went "why do sharks hook fish?"

...Anyone wanna guess the answer?

Exactly 😂😂

But I kind of need him awake cause I have a word limit, so I'm gonna skip ahead and rework the piece so it's along the same timeline but further into the story I think

It has just occurred to me that I need to make a significant change in the pacing of one of my zine fics because Katsuki has spent half of the word count unconscious.

Oops.

An irregularly scheduled reminder that I sell used books! Listings were just updated today, and I have a couple dozen more to add soon~

pangobooks.com/bookstore/ki...

absolutely piss off Rowling.

Like, in the dream it was mid-year at hogwarts when it happened, Harry ended up an omega, and overnight went from being Dumbledore's golden boy to like. Mud on his boot. And Ron and Sirius were the only two people who were like "he's still Harry"

I woke up so confused.

I don't normally post about Harry Potter, for obvious reasons, and I haven't watched the movies or read the books since... Around 2016 I guess.

But I just woke up from the WEIRDEST dream about alpha/omega dynamics spontaneously manifesting in witches and wizards, and I feel like that alone would

Oh I will for sure. I'm honestly just counting down the days until I can quit or transfer.

Like I literally have a countdown on my phone.

Guess who got to witness an attempted murder tonight while working?

Me!

-cue the sarcastic party sparkles or wtf ever-

I'm so glad I have the next 3 days off.

Anyway I had a great day today delivering Easter baskets! Photos coming soon, but I'm so relieved to have gotten them done! (Also I'm almost out of yarn again ; ;)

Now it's time to reset my kitchen and change into my jammies!

Saw someone complaining about vendors at comic con, saying "if it's not nerdy don't sell it"

...

While showing a table where I saw like 6 different nerdy things at a glance.

The lesson here is that just cause you don't like/recognize it doesn't mean it doesn't belong at a convention.

I'm honestly so relieved to have the first treatment done without any kind of trouble. I sent the proof to the property manager, so now I just cross my fingers.

Gonna play some Minecraft for a while and chill. I work tonight, then I'm off for three days and I can finish posting about my baskets!

Treatment 1 of 3 is done! I'm just waiting for the receipt in my email so I can forward it to my property manager.

Honestly I was so nervous after cleaning all last week that it wasn't good enough, but the technician today actually thanked us for doing such a good job and said no one ever does.

After the treatment tomorrow I promise to post something good. An update, a drawing, a fic, something.

Sometimes I wish one of those tiktok cleaning people would show up at my house like "Hey we heard you're struggling"

I looked up how much it would cost to get a professional out here to help me and the starting rate is like $600. 😭😭😭

FINALLY, stop kicking me while I'm down once this clean out is done.

If you're still here, thanks for reading my vent. It feels good to get it out, since I really can't afford this to turn into some kind of fight with my parents.

I need my stepdad to scrape together $500 to make up for the fact that I have to spend $350 on pest control.

I'm so tired. I've nearly had a breakdown multiple times and I just know it's coming as soon as I feel safe. If I ever feel safe.

I'm just sitting here praying the universe will finally,

Start cleaning to prepare for our PLANNED move at the end of October, and end the week with a visit with my nieces and nephews for Easter.

Instead, I get a 10 day notice to cure or vacate, and I have to spend the whole week cleaning the literal hoard basically by myself cause my mom is sick and

Enough to make the rent, and even then it feels like pulling teeth.

And my step dad keeps bringing more stuff. Tools. Random pieces of wood or equipment. There's literally a drinking fountain in my yard right now.

And that brings us to this week.

My plan was to take the week off to rest, maybe

You didn't have to help with bills, but the rent is increased again and my job just doesn't pay me enough. Please can you help?"

They said no problem, and the first month gave me the extra money without issue. The next month they still gave me money, but less

Now I basically have to beg for just

Clean. I can't live like this anymore. "

They came, and.... Nothing changed.

Except now I had 2 more mouths to feed and my living room was slowly being taken over by my stepdads tools.

Then, the property management raised the rent, and I went to my parents and I said "I'm so sorry, I know I said

Reached out to my parents, who had been house hopping for a while and at the time we're living out of their friends auto shop. I said "hey, I can't do this anymore. Could you guys come stay with us for a while? I'll feed you and you don't have to help with bills just please help me get the house

Ran out and I was forced to get a job or once again get evicted.

I got a job, but that just added "go to work" to my daily energy drain.

I tried a bunch of different things. I tried lists, chore charts, rewards, meal planning, scheduled cleaning... Nothing lasted longer than a week.

Eventually I
