As if things weren't bad enough already, the car wreck was a fun surprise.
I'm not expecting anything more, I know everyone is tight on funds, but if you could at least share, I'd appreciate it.

I don't love my job. Not sure what else I'd do, but... yeah. Don't really love it. Pays the bills though, I suppose.

Every time I think I can pause and catch my breath, a large bill shows up to remind me, no, I can't actually.

@rossz28.bsky.social I tried to scroll to find this but it was so long ago so I'll just ask here. I ordered this on Amazon and it's arriving this week. You put this in after a shower I assume, but then is it fine to get the beard wet the next day? And how many times a week do you do this?

Well, the carpet people came by and said there's still too much water. So the fans stay another day, and my sanity level continues to decrease...

A big thank you to everyone who has helped. It really does mean the world.
I know it’s rough for everyone but I’ve got a wee favor. Since my hospital adventure I’ve been having trouble returning to my old job, I’ve started to apply for more places but for now Devlin has set up a fund to help with groceries/rent, I’m hopeful we won’t need it for long.

So one of our neighbor's toilets exploded and has flooded both of our bathrooms, half of the bedroom, and part of the hallway. 🙃

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.
![Excerpt from Wikipedia reads: "Fight against merchandising his characters
For years, Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work, something that he felt would cheapen his comic through compromising the act of creation or reading.[21][22]
He refused to merchandise his creations on the grounds that displaying Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially sold mugs, stickers, and T-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. Watterson said that Universal kept putting pressure on him and that he had signed his contract without fully perusing it because, as a new artist, he was happy just to find a syndicate willing to give him a chance (two other syndicates had previously turned him down). He added that the contract was so one-sided that, if Universal really wanted to, they could license his characters against his will, and could even fire him and continue Calvin and Hobbes with a new artist. Watterson's position eventually won out, and he was able to renegotiate his contract so that he would receive all rights to his work. Later he said that the licensing fight exhausted him and contributed to the need for a nine-month sabbatical in 1991.[23]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreihmgl3sxrmb5t6edpjnixyanj2rvcf43zdv46mbifhl7hdtmz5u6y@jpeg)

So I've been trying to do better about going out to get coffee less. But yesterday fucking sucked, a lot, and I needed today to at least get off to a good start. So I'll break my rule this time.
