Official CS blanket fort

Argh zombie don't remind me. I have a pre-show season meeting with the fam on sunday and hopefully they'll be happy that I'm dealing with 99% of the booth stuff for them.

Hauling things around today.
I'll be glad to see my stuff, but dreading the complaining/judging from the people helping.

Blargh.

-snorgles everyone- -extra special fluffy snorgle for Cazzie and her piggies- I remember my guinea pig, Murphy. He got pneumonia. Poor piggy baby. <3



Today has just been a really shitty day. Mainly because of my aunt. Toxic enabler bitch.

*hugs eisa, zombiequeen and kanalah*

[Eisa]

Thankies.


-sighs- What part of "my social anxiety is so bad, I can't even call my friends 99% of the time" is incomprehensible to my aunt? No, I really can't call storage places for you. If I do, I will be panicking, anxious, and basically out of commission the rest of the day. I'd really rather not be, thanks, especially around -you- who I do not consider to be safe or trustworthy or anything but toxic. Fuck off.

Wheee all of my stuff enetered in the fair got ribbons. As I recall I got 3rd 4th and 5th place.

*crawls into blanket fort and hides under blankets and pillows* I haz a headache...and so much tension that my body hurts from neck to knees. I can't stop thinking about how much work is going to suck next week and wondering if that's when I'll finally have the mental breakdown that's been looming for the past 9 months. *curls up under blankets, exhausted*

Child Rum can go back to school on Monday! (I almost put she could go back to work! )

But now, I'm running a 100.6 fever. I promise to stay in a corner away from everyone.

And I talked to someone I used to know a long time ago, whom I went to high school, we were best of friends, and then when I started to have personal problems and wasn't around for her, she dropped me like a hot potato. Now I don't know if I should forgive and forget or hold grudge.

Can I just sleep?

*crawls in and cuddles under blankets cuz she is cold

[Kanalah]

And again hubby has to work late at the office and I'm left alone with two screaming children who don't listen to a word I say.

And dammit why doesn't hubby keep antifreeze in the house?

[BookstoreEscapee]

Arrrrrrrrr.

[Midnight12]

happy talk like a pirate day even though late....and hugs to everyone who needs them

[RootedPhoenix]

It's finally sunk in that my step father is a horrible asshole.

I hope he never beats my mother, because....I..I don't know what I'll do without her. *freaking out*

Well, it looks like the housing authority isn't going to help us with rent. Apparently, mom's apartment is "above market value" for a 2-bedroom in this town. Their cap is $2000/month for two people (in THIS town? Please, tell us where these mythical $1900/month two bedrooms are; we've been looking for years). Yes, when she moved in six years ago the rent was under that cap, but she has no control over whether it rises or not (and six years ago we were both relatively financially stable).

The only advice they had was to "move into a smaller place, there's a one-bedroom in your building for $2000/month"....ummm, not gonna work with two people, we pondered it before. It's not just "one less bedroom", the entire apartment is smaller.

The 'case manager' is going to talk with the board on Tuesday and see what she can do. We're not asking for them to pay the full rent (although that would be nice), just enough so we can keep our heads above water until I get a real job.

Ugh...headache. Where can I throw up?
