31, here for a goo time

ready for what the next week brings...

Just a life update, for anyone who cares. Two years ago, my husband had a great job, with insurance and everything. My health improved. We scrimped and saved and bought a house...old, not in great shape, but ours. And then everything went to hell. My husband was replaced with AI. When he lost his job, we lost our insurance. Immediately thereafter, SpyBoy got sick and we maxed out our credit cards trying to save him. Jonathan got a job unloading trucks at a grocery store. We lost SpyBoy. My health got steadily worse. J's job has kept him at 39 1/2 hours a week so they wouldn't have to give him insurance. And now they've cut him back to 2 days a week. We don't have a car, so he walks over a mile to work. There are no buses here, so he's limited to work within walking distance. We lost our food stamps. I was denied for disability, again. We divided our house in half and turned the other half into a rental apartment. We are drowning in credit card debt. We have no assistance. J makes less than a thousand dollars a month. I started my Etsy business back in February. I make funny little creatures, sparkly pride merch, magnets, and more! It's doing well, for a new business with no advertising budget. But not well enough. We are desperately trying to refinance the house, but it's a 50/50 proposition at this point, because of our low income. I've been trying to keep things together, but we're going under. It is 98 degrees here, feels like 117. And we're going to have our electricity cut off next week if I can't somehow find $389. Part of my disability is poor temperature regulation. If we lose the a/c, I'm going to end up in the hospital, which we can't afford. We're only a few months from losing the house at this point and ending up homeless. If anyone can help, I still have my entire library for sale: https://www.ebay.com/usr/featherinyourcapnola Here's my Etsy store: https://mardigoth.etsy.com

The best part of that video is that the owner found the ORIGINAL plush later on the beach and took another video with it after their grandmother stitched it back up

"Ok, ma'am that'll be $226.03."
