the only bad thing about this site is that you can't edit your previous posts, for example i meant the poop bucket at work and the delivery for the air conditioner will be NEXT friday
just wanted to point that out, i... don't have a bucket like that at home (since i have no dog)
Hey, I made a small site update! Baby steps.
I swear to god when I opened the poop bucket to dump some poop (there's a trash bag inside don't worry) a butterfly came out. It was one of those blue and black ones - apparently it's a red-spotted purple (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) butterfly. You see a few of them this time of year, they're super pretty!
Yesterday was one of the worst days everrr, I spoke to yet another asshole at M&T Bank, my A/C is broken when it's too hot out and it seemed like everything went wrong. But I'm better now. I ordered a $99 portable A/C unit from Amazon - I know, I know, but Home Depot's prices were insane - and it'll be here Friday. Couldn't get faster shipping. But I'm glad I did because the $99 price was also the same as the visiting fee for a repairman to come on Thursday and god knows how much more THAT would've cost.
The A/C in my house has a good chance to come back on when it's not... you know, almost 100 degrees out. From what I could tell from my online searches the 'sensor error' that's causing the problems might be due to the extreme heat making the outside sensor work. But thankfully I'm not that hot inside at the moment. 🤞🏻 There's plenty of trees surrounding the house, my father had the good sense to put up blackout shades on all the windows and I have a lot of fans. At night I pull up the windows and reposition the fans I have on so that they're blowing out the hot air outside. I'll be fine. I'm going to snag some extra churu from work (it's for all the employees) and freeze 'em for Big Frank.
I also have wet washcloths in the freezer for tonight as well as my pillowcase LMAO the sheet is off my bed too because my bed is so old and lumpy that it's always loose and I could NOT get to sleep with it on last night. It's supposed to rain past 5 PM tomorrow so 🤞🏻 again that it'll get cooler!
Oh, yeah, happy Independence Day or whatever. There's so much traffic heading towards the shore right now even outside my house and I'm worried about pulling out of my driveway. Who the hell wants to sit in traffic when it's almost a hundred degrees out?! Shoobies are nuts. I will NEVER understand the hype of going down to the Shore for the weekend during the summer. The other seasons? Sure. But the thought of dealing with the traffic plus the heat and the crowds... ugh, that's hell for me.
As someone who has lived in southern New Jersey all her life, the best time for tourists to visit the shore would be April through early June and during all of autumn. Cape May is especially beautiful in the autumn! During the weekdays it's just nice to walk around the Washington Street Mall area and it's not crowded at all. There's a lot of pretty buildings in that area too.
Anyway. I hope everyone is staying safe and cool!
Ah, okay, got it. Markdown formatting is hard for me to remember. Here's the cheatsheet I'm using. And this page is helpful too.
As I mentioned on my status.cafe page I'm getting out of another depression... streak? I've been this way for about two weeks now. I mean, I'm taking my meds and all, I just can't pinpoint exactly when this all started for once. Usually it's a tiny thing that sets off my period of melancholy (holy cow that sounds stupid), sometimes as simple as a coworker not saying goodbye to me when I say goodbye to them. That was the cause of the previous one.
I've been sleeping a lot more on my break between shifts. I keep the light on in my room and I'm telling myself that 'having the light on now will help me sleep better at night when the lights are off'. I think it's working.
Literally, as I was going to write about applying for mortgage assistance, I recieved an email stating that I was denied. Of course it didn't tell me why, it stated that the reason was in the mail that we sent me. A few days ago I called the assistance line at the bank asking when I'll hear back from the relief department (or whatever) and the dickhead on the other end told me that 'it'll probably take more than two weeks to get to your letter'. (I sent the letter two weeks before I called.)
So now I'm anxious about it again. I'm doing EVERYTHING I can to ask for help paying for my mortgage. It's $1,200 a month and that's a good $200 less than the rent for any apartment I can find in the area. ... I don't want to write about it. I'm so tired. I need a vacation (haha) or a short break but I only work part time and I need the money.
I'm going to make this page my default journal link on the next update because there has been times that I've wanted to make an entry but was too lazy to make changes to the page and upload it to Neocities.
hello hello?
