My sanity is hanging by a thread today. Had a lovely day at work sat with all the girls, chatting wedding stuff and just generally having a nice time. Met my sister in law for lunch and she was just really off with me, judgmental about the wedding, has been talking to our mother in law about my IUD which frankly is no one else's fucking business. I was pissed that Matt had talked to his parents about it at the weekend when I didn't go over to their house with him bc I was in agony, but I don't need family discussions to be happening about my uterus and my choice of contraception. Matt had explained to his mam that I made the choice to be in significant physical pain rather than be mentally fucked up with paranoia, anxiety, mood swings and depression which is what happened when I took the pill. I spent years working on my mental health and finally got meds for it and didn't want to ruin it by pumping myself full of hormones. Like this was not a lightly made decision but it's the decision I made. And yes I am still going to complain about it bc it's really fucking painful and the options I was choosing between were all terrible. It's bullshit that these are the choices women have to make and then we get judged for them, by other women of all people? His mam is a fucking doctor and she often works on maternity wards!!! Like pray tell, what other magical option do I have?? Doctors would never give me permanent sterilisation bc I'm too young, likewise with a vasectomy for Matt and if he did have one his parents would go ape shit that he wasn't carrying on the family bloodline 🤢🤢🤢🤢 like why can't they just leave us alone and accept our decisions that we make in our own lives. I was thinking I should reach out to them since I haven't seen them for a few weeks but they can fuck themselves.

Anyway then went back to work for the afternoon, our systems were totally off for annual billing process so we literally couldn't do any work so I just sat ordering wedding stuff. A lil flower crown for me to try on, a load of cute little coloured glass bottles for the tables, and the cake topper. AND THEN I get home feeling a little icky, drag myself upstairs to work out and get some endorphins going, and I have to push Maggie out of my way and she fucking snaps at me?? She's been told to go to bed and we'll ignore her the rest of the night but come on dude! I didn't need this! So now I'm sitting on the floor in my gym gear about to give up ans go eat dinner with Matt instead bc I don't really have time to work out now. Urgh thank god it's Friday tomorrow. We're going for a little date night to a restaurant down by the river and I was going to invite Matt's brother and sister in law but after how she was today we'll just go by ourselves. Happy Thursday everyone!! 🤘

I am so unbelievably pissed off. FUCK HOAs

Oh, my trash/recycling bin can't be visible except on pickup day? Ok whatever fine I hate you but I can deal with this

Weekly inspections?????? FU FU FU FU FU

SECOND NOTICE ALSO WE'RE CHARGING YOU MONEY TO SEND YOU CERTIFIED MAIL OF THIS TOTALLY LEGIT TOTALLY SECOND NOTICE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION cue me: checks notes. Hmm. My recycling bin was. on the curb. on recycling pickup day. You know. The day it has to be out. The day it is motherfucking ALLOWED TO BE FUCKING OUT AND VISIBLE.

so. 1) not a violation

I have sent them the trash AND recycling pickup schedules, which are DIFFERENT, btw

I have disputed the fact of the violation

I have disputed the linking of this "violation" to a previous violation MONTHS AGO--their "first notice" in this case was a "Courtesy Notice" LITERALLY 5 MONTHS AGO and they've done so many inspections since then and my bin CLEARLY WASN'T OUT IN THOSE INTERVENING MONTHS so WTMFH

So I am posting like a crazy person here instead of sending the absolutely deranged email I almost sent (I did send a slightly less deranged version with the disputes, and requesting a hearing)

OMG. It has been. Less than one hour since I learned this fun fun news. My bin was out YESTERDAY, y'all. YESTERDAY. I am going to blow a gasket

#it's a relatively privileged problem to have (omg i have a home truly i am grateful) but it's still a goddamned problem and i'm allowed #to fucking complain about it #in case it needs to be said #*rolling my eyes*#i advocate for free/actually affordable housing for everyone who needs it because we ALL deserve a safe secure stable home #whatever type of home that may be #it is absolutely goddamned ridiculous that megacorps can buy all the housing #rent it out at extortionate rates and evict people willy nilly #and we're talking about a “housing crisis” and not a “STOP LETTING CORPORATIONS AND BILLIONAIRES HOARD ALL THE HOUSING” crisis #goddamn.#ha elect me president (ahaha don't do this i am not a good public speaker) and I'll push congress to pass some really neat legislation #hey be more direct: elect me to congress (ahaha don't do this) and i'll WRITE some goddamn nifty legislation and yell about it as long and #as loud as i can until people start to just fucking say yes to make me shut the fuck up #(i know that's not how it works. again. don't actually elect me to a government position)#exemplia gratis:#No individual person shall own more than 6 homes UNLESS they pay a Housing Market Shrinkage Fee for removing viable housing from the market #why 6 and not 2? 2 is a lot! it's excessive! but having A vacation home shouldn't be a crime. Having 5 vacation homes is ridiculous and #awful and whatever but it's not likely to be the source of all our greatest “housing shortage” problems. no. I'm aiming for the absolutely #monstrously greedy and egregious motherfuckers who---ok #hang on. how many homes does the average min and max homeowner own? I would like to see data on that. but anyway #the next part of the legislation:#Homes owned >6 shall be charged X% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee UNLESS they are rented for affordable (15% or less than renter net income)#housing and are actively occupied by said renters. Rented out and charging more than 15% of renter's net? still gotta pay up.#EMPTY housing >6 shall be subject to an additional Y% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee (tax? should I call it a tax?) which increases with ever #month that the housing goes unoccupied. no one living in it? sell it rent it or pay the fuck up. and still pay the fuck up if you rent it #for way too goddamn much money #but like. less. we only REALLY hate you if you sit on empty houses that you don't even let anyone use #ok that's individuals. now onto BUSINESSES #ok so immediately it gets a little complicated cuz like presumably there's rental management businesses that don't own the rental propertie #that they manage BUT there are also companies that just outright own a shitfuckton of housing and THIS is the truly egregious monstrous sid

#currently on the worst road trip of my whole entire life! well. i don't want to jinx it lmao but #today i popped TWO TIRES at once in the middle of the Katy Freeway in Houston TX (the widest highway in the US; 26 lanes btw)#managed to make it over to the shoulder without DYING but then had to sit there for like an hour? and panic called a tow truck because duh #I know how to change a tire but I was – again – sitting on the shoulder of the widest freeway on the continent so #anyway I called a tow; a guy showed up. I assumed it was the tow! turned out it was not. but he helped me put on the spare and then was lik #“follow me to my shop I can do the tires for you” and I was like okay! 👍 but then the ACTUAL tow called me and I realized this was #just a random guy (very nice up to that point but then I got scared about following him to a secondary location?) and so I didn't lmao #I just kept driving and didn't follow him but the guy on the phone was then mad at me because I wasn't where I said I would be because #AGAIN – I thought the original guy WAS the tow company that I called? but anyway guy 2 on the phone was like “YOU OWE ME $200!!!!”#and I said for what? also how would I pay you? and he tried to get me to cash app him lmao?? I didn't. I hung up on him #he called me like 6 more times yelling at me until I finally just blocked his number 💀#however NOW at this point I'm driving on one spare tire and one rapidly-flattening second tire and I still have 3 hours left to get where #I was going for the night and to top it all off I'm in the middle of a city I've only been to one time before? so I manage to get to a hote #like a nice-ish one where I'm like “okay if I get stuck here this won't be the end of the world”#because keep in mind today is a national holiday so basically everything is closed!!!! btw!!!!!#but eventually I'm sitting there and it's literally 100F outside and I remember oh right lol I have car insurance which pays for a tow #(a normal one; not a random one I panic-found on google who calls me screaming at me to cash app him $200)#so anyway I call my insurance and the guy on the phone is very nice and is like “it's okay; we'll have someone to you in 45 min”#and I'm like okay. OKAY. 🙌💪 I am a strong independent woman who is figuring this out and no longer on the side of the highway #but instead in a nice calm neighborhood and all I have to do is wait 45 min and everything will be okay #one hour goes by. I call back. get redirected to the tow company that was dispatched. guy says oh! is my guy not there yet?#I say no. he says okay – I'll have him call you. hangs up.#okay. 20 more min go by. guy finally calls me. says “I'm 20-25 min away” at this point I've been waiting about an hour and a half #I say. okay? okay. 30 more minutes go by. I try to call the guy back. straight to voicemail. three more calls. three more no answers.#I call my insurance back. sit on hold for 15 min. eventually get put through to a different person who's like “okay let me check on him”#get put on hold. eventually she comes back and says “okay he says 15 minutes” I've been waiting over 2 hours at this point. I have to PEE #I just... burst into tears. on the phone with this poor random woman from Geico Insurance. I'm bawling my eyes out.#she was trying to get claim info from me but I'm crying so hard she's like “oh baby no. okay. okay. we can get that from you tomorrow.”#when you cry so hard that even the insurance company is like “you know what we're just going to let this one slide”#anyway guy eventually shows up. he's very nice even though I hate him a little for being so late. he drives me to an OPEN TIRE SHOP

🌌 STEVE GETS EVERYTHING’D EVERYWHERE’D ALL AT ONCE’D 🌌

(or: STEVE unlocks a Shenanigans Steve state and gets the TOH adults to dab)

Last day of Anime Los Angeles was truly “I want to be comfy and silly and not wear a wig” and who better to enable that but STEEEEEVE.

Photos by David Harris; rambling under the cut.

Thrifted:

$5 for the yellow “Dog Mama” t-shirt (”Dog Mama” got appliquéd over with red vinyl, which was apparently the only suitable red fabric I had on hand for colour-matching the STEVE logo)

$10 for the black pleather jacket (added cuffs, elbow pads, painted pocket details, and reused the STEVE stencil I made ...for painting another STEVE on the back)

Made (in the span of a very focused week and entirely from stash fabric, s o m e h o w):

Appliqué for the yellow shirt, with cutouts in the red vinyl to have inset white STEVE letters.

White hood dickie.

Edits to the black pleather jacket.

Black velvet jester pants with grey sateen insets + the peeking-out tunic.

Horn prosthetic.

Synergy in the Emperor’s Coven — grabbed a soupy romance novel from the Little Free Library (that I have previously made deposits to) and gave it a ~ new life ~

#the photos are all grainy and dark because ALA assigned the owl house gathering to the FIVE PM TIME SLOT. IN MUD.#steve winning as the easiest mask-wearing experience that weekend (paint on my face BOTH friday and saturday bleh!)#the owl house #the owl house cosplay #steve toh #how do you. how do you tag this guy. ಠ_ಠ #steve tholomule #???? goodness gracious #cosplay #crafting the book ended up being my favourite part! boy howdy do i enjoy fussy little details like that #the yellow cover elements are all cardstock because i didn't want to try layering yellow acrylics to get the right look + detail #and cardstock is easier to manage #the emperor's coven sigil is painted in a hyper-metallic gold paint that i last-minute remembered i had on hand because WHY NOT #i DO have the 'the office' handshake photo on the back ...and a very terrible synergy-jargon book blurb that i spent like 15 min drafting #the book has some mud on a corner now because i dramatically chucked it into a pile of mud. DOWN WITH BELOS #ETA HERE'S A POST FROM FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR that was sitting in drafts because i neglected to ever post it!#whoops. here it is now o__o

this is genuinely up there with the worst driving experiences i've had

#there was the time i had an exam and it took me 40 mins to get to class when it usually takes like 15-20 mins.40 mins AFTER i got in my car #which was a struggle. and it was snowing so much i could barely see 5m in front of me and my passenger side door opened mid drive #i got to the exam 2 mins before it started. on the brink of death.#once got stuck in the exit ramp of a really busy parking garage . had to stop #in the middle of the ramp and my stupid tiny car wouldn't go anywhere. i did manage to drive off eventually but i Cried #anyways driving in these weathers is ASS it makes me want to become a hermit

listen, I managed to keep the apartment mostly clean for a whole week and LET ME TELL YOU. THE SHEER RELIEF OF A WHOLE WEEKEND WHERE I ONLY HAD TO WORRY ABOUT LAUNDRY AND LIKE, SWEEPING THE FLOOR IS FANTASTIC. I AM PRAYING MY BRAIN ALLOWS ME TO KEEP THIS UP.

YE GODS EVEN JUST REMEMBERING TO DO THE DISHES AND PUT THE DIRTY CLOTHES IN THE WASHER EACH DAY.....MASSIVE DIFFERENCE.

#'clean as you go' is excellent advice but it's something i very much have to think about consciously #so the usual problem is i forget every day to put my dirty dishes in the dishwasher and put the dirty clothes in the washer and like #take 15 mins while listening to a podcast to just tidy up whatever. and then it builds up day by day and then on Saturday im breaking down #bc I don't have a single goddamn dish and no clothes and everything is a mess and im walking on tiptoes bc there's crap on the floor #ANYWAY #LAST WEEK I DID IT! HOPING I CAN MANAGE IT AGAIN #the apartment doesn't have to be perfectly tidy but keeping it functional really helps

went to get an iced chai before work so as not to repeat my disastrous lunch drink of yesterday and because i deserve it and the line was like ten people deep so i very cleverly ordered my drink on their website and had it in hand before they’d even gotten through like two people at the register. nice

#granted i did not expect them to be so fast i just thought it would be marginally quicker #i thought i’d have like a five-ten min wait but it was only like two max. amazing #also even in my attempts to be ‘late’ to work i only managed to show up 15 minutes later than usual. losing every time #still here before everyone else #ok i’m back i started writing this post 40 minutes ago but somebody came in so then i had to start doing stuff #but now i’m posting it #chatpost

im still sooo sad the interview for my last job fell through, the interview went great! he wanted to do a follow up and he really seemed to like me

but they just told me there was a mix up and they thought they had more hours to offer to hire another person but actually couldnt

it was a mix up and whatever, but man, i went out there twice and reached out a few times myself because i really wanted to work there and it felt really promising it was just very disappointing

#they said im top of the list to contact if anyone leaves or gets fired or whatever #but im just like #sigh #i dont wan tto work at starbucks anymore #they never schedule me and im p sure one of my shifts i work with a LOT hates me and keeps telling the store manager im bad at my job #its become both financially hard to stay there but not emotionally i dont want to be there anymore #but i cant leave until i find a job closer and or better paying #it just sucks #i drive 20 mins to be there for a 15 hr job #and im barely scheduled for shit #im there for 5 hours most days #and i have the same weekly hour amount as the highschoolers #and when i ask my store manager about it she just tells me she doesnt have the hours to offer me #even tho everyone else is 25+ minimum usually in the 30s like..#come on

I was so prepared for this morning

#i went on my first 15 min break and one of my managers got a big gash on her hand #my other manager was freaking out and i remembered i had some soft bandages in my bag #bc i always wanna be ready for anything #so i went and grabbed it and grabbed a gauze pad and wrapped it up for her #and thankfully my work had gauze tape bc i didnt #yet my work doesnt have gauze???#well anyway #so i bandaged her up and my first break is already half over #i was called paranoid by all of my coworkers at my old jobs. ALWAYS. For being prepared #well whose laughing now #...ok no not me that bitch looked painful #but i came in clutch w that bandage #i think she needs to see a doctor but my word isnt good enough #it doesnt look like it needs stitches but speaking from experience it looks like it will scar

in trying to get my life together i am sleeping early

#means. 11pm #i still wake up by 7am no matter what #but our bed time is now on average earlier than it has been for 7 years #also getting back into my habit of morning yoga #even if not a ful 30-45 mins every day i manage at least 10-15 mins #i'm getting better #i'm excited because after 3 months of feeling like lifting my hand was too much to do #my brain has decided to cooperate and simple tasks are no longer the hardest thing in the world
