I bitched so much I got what I wanted!
#v true#im so excited#no more leaking roof#it leaks right over my bed#so it drips on my chest and arms while i sleep#and if i don't notice it will get the bed all wet#but my mom finally called the roof ppl#then we have to call the bank for a loan#and i couldnt do that bc the house is not in my name and the loan will not be in my name#i complained to my dad over the phone#and i think my mom has had enough#she doesnt like when my dad gets involved with our house.#bc he doesnt live with us#im so glad she called#its been like 2 years of me complaining#and i keep getting more cracks#you would think shed have called the day after i had to sleep with her bc of the leaking#but she did not#so i complained to my aunt t#who did nothing#im just so excited#ik its gonna raise the bill prices#but i dont care#i wanna sleep in peace#i was woken up again this morning by water dripping on me#and the next two days is suppose to be bad storms#so im going to be real cranky#i straight up told my dad no one cares bc it doesnt affect them#shut up nicki

KADDU JI KI CHALI BARAT
#hold on im crying#nostalgia#it just hit me like a warhammer#now im thinking about all the fun things i did in moms school#when she used to take me with her#15years ago almost#memories#and there was this one about the guy who sneezed so much the tree shed all its leaves#and how the women was more scared of her leaking roof than the tiger#and the tiger thought leak is some very big scary animal#je pense

"boycotting doesn't work they're already making billions of dollars" yeah but you don't have to HELP
#like. even if they're still gonna have more money than god if you CAN say no I won't be part of this#why wouldn't you?#there's no ethical consumption under late stage capitalism but there's a big difference between taking candy from a baby and wanton killing#everything is unethical but some things are MORE unethical so like#if your goal is harm reduction#which it should always be in any kind of activism#then even if you can shut the tap you can close it a little bit#like if the whole roof is leaking you can choose to not piss directly onto the bed#that metaphor probably doesnt make sense I'm pretty high#the point is even if you can't stop the hurt you can choose not to make it worse

Omg?? I just took a bath?? It's so nice?? Why don't I ever do it*
*important disclaimer: I wash myself regularly, I just usually take showers.
#in our apartment we have a shower and a bathtub#but the bathtub has been off limits for the majority of my life due to leaking onto the roof of the downstairs floor#then it was fixed but at that point the concept of a bath had become alien to my family#even when the shower is unusable due to issues we use the bathtub like a shower lol#now they're redoing the shower to make it more accessible so i tried using the bathtub as a bathtub#it's so nice lmao#blabbering me

roof leaking. ugly water spot on ceiling of bedroom. despair. agony. panic. millions of phone calls to different contractors. finally. a single kindly older man. very professional. fully licensed. his company can come this week. his company can accept half payment now and half later. no problem. can we actually come earlier? like today? I am 🥹🥹
#the water spot still needs to be taken care of which is.... a lot. need a drywall contractor to literally#cut open my ceiling and replace a bunch of shit but. I have some estimates and guys on the line so hopefully 🤞 next week. maybe.#idk the roof was the main concern cause without it fixed like it's just gonna keep leaking#and it's supposed to rain this weekend and more this month#and now they're in the process of fixing it. before it rains. for like. half payment up front#to say this is uhhhhh like a birthday present to me from the universe is an understatement#my family kept asking me yesterday what I wanted to do for my birthday given the circumstances and I was like#well uhhhh idk I gotta wait to see like. if I'm gonna have a giant hole in my bedroom ceiling from rain or not soooo....#idk man I just. I'm so thankful for this old man's roofing company lol#but I am also so very very very tired from all this. job hunting and trying to get a leaking roof repaired is#exhausting. 0/10 would not recommend#erin explains it all

Vague work email: Don't come into the building until we send an additional notification
Me: 🤔 Is this flooding or a bomb threat?
#Given my work place's history it is truly a toss up which it is#I mean flooding is more likely given the weather and our shitty roof leaking repeatedly over the years and our current roof construction#But also we've had two safety threats in the last 5 years that evacuated the building so like 🤷🏻♀️ Who knows!#Thankfully I'm working from home so it's not my problem 😊

if they have a leak in the roof then what the hell else is going on in that house 😭
#they should be a LOT more concerned bc if the guy just did the roof and you already have a leak and the plaster is falling apart#that means he did shitty work and something else could be fucked up#didnt they say they had problems with the plumbing ???? like uhhhh

I consider myself relatively good at day to day cleaning, although I am rarely in the 'cleaning mood'. But I guess it had to come around sometime, even if sometime was this Monday morning at 8:30am, and now every drawer in my room is gutted and the walls smell of white vinegar
#personal#i have not had cleaner walls in years however#since the roof leak fiasco of 22-23 i have seen mould patches pop up where the water dribbled down the walls#it began happening around mid summer. always told myself i'd deal with it later and then later... well now they are gone#something else to keep an eye out for in the long run#the drawers have nothing to do with that i just want more space for minis.

Moved a very big and very heavy professional display case back against the wall all by myself. Definitely going to be feeling it tomorrow but I don't care. This has been bugging me for a while and once I emptied it of the random stuff stored in it it wasn't too hard to wiggle it slowly into place. Started filling it with some of my grandma's and mine old Star Wars figures, though now I have to decide if it's better to keep them in their packages or open them to save space. I see a lot of ebay research coming in the future. Did find some interesting things though.
I love how dramatic the Revenge of the Sith packaging is. I can almost hear them yelling at me.
#birdy tries to be a good adult#it's already too hot to keep going today but i might try to empty a few more boxes before i call it quits#emptied seven boxes today and got a few more things ready to donate#looking at some of these figures i can hear my grandma talking as we checked what we had on her lists#i loved those days when it was just us running errands and toy collecting#my mom thought we were crazy and maybe she was right but we had so much fun#and my grandpa complained like crazy but always shut up when my grandma pointed out just how much useless crap he brought home#i know a lot of its gone missing over the years and some got destroyed when the roof leaked#someday I'll inventory it all for insurance reasons and just to see that still exists

1/2 Do you believe in magic? Are you superstitious?
if magic isn't real how do you explain his holy presence
#the concept of magic yeah sure#always been interested in just how people came up with that. no matter where you find it the base idea seems to be 'a force unseen'#and i'd say on some level that does exist- but at least for me#it's more in the form of when you're sitting outside on a roof at night#or in the rain hearing music and atmosphere leaking out of nearby buildings#or seeing a craftsman putting the finishing touches on their art#or meeting eyes with an animal in an unlikely place for just a second before it disappears#or looking up at the sky and thinking. huh. that's pretty fucking big isn't it. goes pretty far. wonder who got the idea to go to the moon#at the risk of sounding overly trite. it's just a nameless something#superstitious on the other hand i wouldn't reeeaallly say so#but maybe at least a little? i have ocd you gotta cut me some slack 💀#weirdest one i have is blinking a certain amount of times when i wanna replace a thought#but that's less on the Poetic And Ethereal side so much as it is disruptive and mildly irritating. oh well

I wouldn't say my social bubble is terribly small. My former manager thought comparing safaris a suitable small talk topic. I had colleagues who played golf and were landlords. (Thanks to their middle-class families, not our salaries. The women in any case because men didn't discuss theirs).
But it's only their complaints about the current crisis that make me realize what being middle-class was/is really like. The small things, that is. I knew about the home-owner, 2 cars per family and holidays abroad standard (none of that necessarily as big/new/expensive as in Western Europe). Sounds neat, I have no trouble imagining living like that.
But until this nightmare inflation they'd just buy any food they wanted, including the most expensive out-of-season fruits and vegetables? Not just what was on sale? They'd take baths any time they wanted and went to restaurants all the time? And it's so difficult for them to give that up?
I do have compassion for them and worry about the impact of middle class struggling on the rest of the society, but I didn't even realize in how different worlds we lived.
#of course I don't talk extensively of things I can't afford so they probably don't realize either#every day I'm grateful I have a roof over my head#and it was also true when it was a moldy leaking roof in a house with someone making my life hell#and the more you spend on necessities the worse inflation you get#so of course we were hit worse#but we *are* more resilient#and it must be horrible for someone who never had to struggle before#not to mention how important a strong middle class is for stable society#aftter 30 years of talk of catching up to the West we might be succeeding#to UK or US even#:(#we might pay for healthcare and have to save up for our own pensions#dystopia

man I could really go for some eggdrop soup tonight. alas I cannot afford even this much, and anyways someone would have to go get it, bc the place doesn't deliver, and we cannot afford (and do not generally trust) any of those third-party delivery services. that's not a very good idea in this weather, no sir.
#kind of wish they did deliver bc the only places that Do around here are fuckin. pizza.#my mom is sick of pizza lol; tho I don't think I'd mind#I'd feel a bit bad for makin someone get it to us tho bc it's already gettin dark; on top of the rain and shit we've been gettin all day#never terribly heavy but u know; still quite steady#for reference; we live in the southeast; not so far that we're in danger I don't think (tho there IS still a bit of a risk)#but u know. air on the side of caution and what have you#I wish we COULD protect ourselves tbh; we're not very flood-ready just like. In General. we don't have a means of protecting our shit#even if we Knew How; yannow?#best we can do is just to not go outside#hopefully the nearest bodies of water aren't so near as to cause issues; tbh I'm more worried about the ground getting soft#bc my mom thinks we live over top of underground water; so we tend to get a bit soggy when it rains a lot#we've already got issues with a sinking foundation... plus I don't think they fixed all of the roof leaks bc our landlord fuckin Sucks

#well glad i finally stopped overthinking for three days and sent the damn text#i get if things are super hectic with work and everything immediate i do--but if we've still been feeling each other we'd still find a way#to connect?#i thought dinner with him went well a few weeks back--and would've gone better at mine if not for shitty super (big stressor) halfassing a#roof leak repair job in his closet making him have to go handle that after it rained a little during dinner#but we kissed goodbye saying we'd hang labor day and i told him to text me once home or about how the leak goes and he never did#but okay things were stressy and he forgot no worries#labor day came and i followed up day of not having heard from him and did an afternoon in the park after not hearing back#he apologized the next day saying he was going through a lot and i understood and said i'd still like to help take his mind off things--nada#he works weekends so i sent him a doggo video on IG to help some and checked in the next Monday asking if we did still want to hang again#and that i'd missed him--he apologized last Tuesday saying work was chaos and that he was two-weeksing his part time job#i understood and asked what he planned on doing from there to have us talking--nothing#but he did see the doggo video finally and said 'thanks for the doggo c:'#i did also have a free evening on thurs from a day off with mom so i low-presh said 'hey if you wanna hang?' and nothing#last thing was i asked on Sunday how his week was going and nothing#what confused me is that through all this he would still pop into my IG stories and like things which makes me think 'interest'#but i'd low-pressure like or comment a thing on his and i wouldnt get anything#and also still kinda seeing him on the site we met on with a guy leaving him a bj review a few weeks ago... which#it's fine it's been two dates so sure--but i'm also v much wanting to do things with him too and i'm kinda right there??#so all this to say that i felt like i had to just see if we are doing okay given it's been hard to tell#...but i did so much overthinking on how to phrase it the past 2-3 days before finally sending it#saying that if we are i'd like us to connect a bit more and that maybe Snapchat could help with that#[we probably should've traded SCs already 🥲]#anyway we'll see how that goes but idk as much as i've liked our chemistry i kinda feel like--to quote The Drums' 626 Bedford Ave--#i dont get near what i've been givin'#(space considerations for the hecticness aside ofc#so if we can communicate a bit better that'd be nice but could also gear toward an end so we'll see with the ball in his court#anyway thanks for reading that pre-bed vent#you're now imagining a corgi about to go paddling on a boat as a treat :)#🥱
