You're obviously just begging for money and aren't actually using it on what you're saying it for, knock it off
You really do think that don't you? Alright fine, in case anyone was wondering what I'm "lying" about it's my flooded mold filled basement and my roof being partially caved in. Winter is about to happen and I need to fix it soon. My mom and grandma are both immunocompromised, I need to stop the mold spread before it gets too high up into the house.
So! If you don't believe me, here is a list of things I need you can send directly to me so you know it actually comes to me
If you do believe me however please feel free to donate to my kofi, I'm almost halfway to the goal to get supplies I need for the roof.
Even if you just reblog I'd be forever thankful!

You are NOT going to believe this, because I don’t believe this.
We had this coffee table that belonged to my grandparents, a ship’s wheel with an incredibly thick and heavy glass too. Because we had run out of space we had many years ago took it apart (easy since the top only set on it and the legs screwed in). It had been stored safely beside the piano, until yesterday.
So with the piano having to be moved, I needed to do something with it. Naturally this meant hauling it to Mom’s house, where with the floor collapse almost everything is stored anyway. After struggling to get it there and in the house, I needed a safe place to put.
The perfect spot was behind the sofa in front if the boarded up fireplace. That fireplace had been sealed over before my parents ever started renting the house and sofa had been there longer than I’ve been alive. It would be out of the way.
So I cleared things from behind the sofa, maneuvered the glass table top through the narrow space, rolled it back there, and…..
THUNK!!!!!!
I looked to see what the heck had happened.
The bricks that make up the hearth had fallen away!!
The old mortar had crumbled away under the weight if the glass. (the house was thrown together quickly and cheaply in the 1800s) It had been a double thick layer of bricks, a couple of feet wide, and all of them for half the length of the fireplace fell to the ground below.
I now had a big hole in the floor of the living room, open to the outside world! And this is the house in good shape!!
So, great. I have a new major problem!
On the plus side, I got that piano moved. Ok, it blocks the front door, but at least it isn’t going to fall. For now, anyway. This is the house that is rotting away, with collapsed floors in every room. But the piano isn’t going to face plant into the abyss or squish a cat. I wasn’t sure I could get it over that tangle of planks I had over the chasm, not by myself. But woo-hoo!!! I did it!!!
On the negative side, I have a royal mess to deal with in the aftermath. For instance, I have to reconstruct the platform I’d had over the place where the floor should be. Tricky, especially since some of the plywood broke up moving the piano.
Of course, there is the hole in the hearth at the other house to fix. Somehow.
I wonder what disaster tomorrow will bring….

The most common repairs for homeowners
The most common repairs for homeowners
If you’re a homeowner, then it can be slightly daunting knowing that you will now have to pay for all repairs that need doing. Some of these repairs can be fairly pricey, so you need to know you’re always in a position to afford them. It can be easier to sign up for home insurance and other various covers so you can get any money back that you pay out. You may not be aware of the most common…

I'm sure the homeowners before us Tried Their Best when it came to construction and renovation.
My husband's managed some short term fixes for our heating and cooling problems, which considerately alternated their annual breakdowns, but now we are forced to replace the furnace-A/C unit entirely. The repair man removing the old unit (situated so uniquely in a tiny bathroom closet that the guy went "huh" when I showed it to him) has been drilling and sawing for a while, and I, being ignorant to how long this process should take, thought everything was hunky dory until he muttered under his breath just now, "What in the WORLD?!"
As the person who's also been discovering all the fun little quirks during home improvement projects, I don't want to know what's wrong but I'm sorry and good luck amigo 🫡

context/content warnings: relationships, bipolar I disorder, mania, depression, conflict, communication, disability, house repairs, plumbing problems, car accident mention, illness mention, PTSD, money mention, mention of insects (bees/yellow jackets) in housing structure, self loathing, healthcare
I've been manic for around a month I think now, and I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of myself
My health search for answers to the issues I'm having still has not come to fruition. I got several negative results this week, but no information or answers or progress. I'm running out of ways to justify the medication to help reduce the symptoms I'm experiencing, and yet have no way to confirm or treat those symptoms, and I am struggling to communicate with my doctors and terrified of what will happen if we can't find an answer - whether it turns out to be "nothing" or it just gets worse.
At the beginning of the week, my weekly meeting with my spouse was mostly composed of him explaining to me that my conversational tendency (clear in this post) to put multiple problems or items in a list at the beginning of a conversation before anyone can respond, combined with my inability to tell the length of a pause in conversation meaning I often don't wait long enough for others to respond and accidentally overlap or start talking before they can, is making it virtually impossible for us to communicate without him becoming very overwhelmed and frustrated. I do not have a solution yet. Later this week, my partner (other person) was sick with a sinus infection and went to pick up something at the store, and on the way, got rear-ended and it caused notable damage to his car, the involved law enforcement were negligent at best, and he ended up having to to the ER the next morning because of a messed up shoulder and whiplash. It was all really triggering to me due to my own accidents, and I was concerned about him & wanted to ensure he could get all the paperwork and stuff done so I have been helping him where I can, but he's been super irritable because of the discomfort and stress, so our communication has been rough.
We had a leak in the same water pipe that recently was repaired for almost $1k, and it followed with an additional leak yesterday, and I have been managing contact with the insurance partially. I was talking with my spouse about the expenses, and in his stress, he decided to withdraw from his 401k (something I agree we had to do) but didn't confirm the amount or the final decision with me, and it made me feel left out. He apologized, but the stress surrounding house issues and finances is tied to communication struggles.
Multiple delays and failed communications led to us getting a nest of yellow jackets in our casement window that I've been trying to clear out now because my partner is allergic, and it's been a nightmarish and exhausting process and I'm very sick of it.
The disability office fucked up my paperwork and I had to redo a whole bunch of stuff and resubmit it, and the communication surrounding it has been really confusing and stressful.
Someone I've been talking to and spent some time with expressed to me that my overwhelming level of communication and use of multiple platforms to communicate, especially on a daily basis, has been stressing them out and making them unable to build the energy to desire seeing me in person (the opposite of my intent) and asked that we reduce our level of communication. I respect and understand this, but I realized I can't really tell the correct amount of time to wait between sending messages, whether this means I should not go to events we would be at simultaneously, and whether I shouldn't communicate in shared chats, and even asking them about those boundaries made me want to throw up because I don't want to bother them more than I already have but I so much want to be able to be connected to them and continue having good experiences and a good time. I feel like an asshole and I'm also stressed and confused.
On top of all of this, my therapist called me out in therapy for inserting myself into my partner's lives too much and doing too much labor beyond my energy levels and faculties related to things like paperwork, scheduling, logistics, house maintenance, and healthcare. I explained initially that they sometimes do need help, and while some of it is because I don't want to see them struggle, and because I don't trust systems or authorities or service people to actually be helpful and I don't want the consequences of them failing to execute those things to have fallout on me, that's not all.
My biggest struggle is that I know that when I had to deal with all those things and didn't have people helping me, especially when I was struggling a lot, it only made things worse for me. What I want is to ensure that no one I care about ends up like me. I don't want them to have to experience failures and losses over and over again, burning out and losing everything repeatedly, and ending up a burden to everyone they know and love and feeling permanently and constantly unworthy of even asking people to respect their boundaries or help them meet their needs. No one should be like me. I don't want to be like me. It was a really rough session.
What I've learned basically is that when I'm manic, I'd be better off locking myself in a box and tossing myself in a river than trying to engage with other people, and that my experience of the world has only taught me that I should hate myself just as much as the world and other people so often make me feel like they do.
The idea of someone I care about ending up like me because the system and other people failed them makes me hypervigilant in concern for their wellbeing and ability to do things like necessary paperwork, get care, meet daily needs, and so on, because I know that the consequences of not achieving all of those things has any potential that they might end up being like me, and I'd rather run myself to the ground and die than have more people having the experience of life that I have had so far.
The worst part is, this entire week has only reinforced all of these feelings for all of those reasons and events above, and has left me in a state that I don't know what to do. I hate myself so utterly and inexorably, and every day gives me new reasons to hate myself more and also confirm how I am constantly and unendingly just disappointing and stressing and overwhelming and failing everyone I care about and many people I don't care about so much.
I don't know how to keep being this person. Mania is bad, but it's not like I'm better when depressed or apathetic or hypomanic or burnt out. I'm never just okay, and I never will be, and the world is never going to stop finding new ways to reverse every ounce of progress I make. I don't know how to do this anymore, and I'm not allowed to stop existing, so I feel like I'm stuck forever. I hate it, and I hate myself for making it so much worse every time.

The thing is there a million cute ways that Steve could meet Wayne without Eddie’s involvement, but only two ways that Eddie could meet the Harringtons outside of Steve:
(1) He’s their drug dealer
(2) Little tiny Eddie was riding his bike really fast and they pulled out in front of him. He crashed into their car. They yelled at him.

I am very down with the idea that whenever Shanks comes to Visit him on Kuriagina Mihawk uses him like hired muscle
He works him like a dog, Shanks hasn’t even set two feet on the island and Mihawk has handed him a list of all the furniture that needs moving, the light bulbs (he has like 30 chandeliers) that need changing, the rooms that need repainting. Living in the ruins of a castle of a dead kingdom takes work. Could Mihawk do it? No he has a garden to take care off.🙄
Just the idea that Mihawk started a renovation project on his castle while Zoro was there as part of his “training” and Shanks shows up and really Shanks you’re just gonna stand there while the kid does all that heavy lifting Mihawk says as he sips his glass of wine.
Shanks of course is happy to do it. Benn, who he recruits cause there’s just somethings a one armed man shouldn’t do on his own, is of course disgruntled that he has once again been dragged into their weird foreplay.
Perona of course goes “I’m just a girl” 🥺. And of course when Mihawk is unmoved by this She huff and sets to tricking Zoro to do her share of the tasks as well.
She then proceeds to become the most heinous, unethical, inhumane work site manager to ever exist. All while wearing a glittery construction vest and bedazzled hard hat
