Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

Ok, shit got done yesterday, so I am calmer. PunkRock finished all of the drylock - 2 coats - and he patched all of the holes on the inside wall, the wall between the two halves of the basement. Today it needs to be sanded down and painted a dark purple. PunkRock has to work though, so I dunno when it will be completed. Just waiting for that, then we can put down the rug and set up the bedroom! I am thinking I might be able to start bringing down some boxes into the center space, but it may make sense to wait a few days. I am becoming impatient!

The contractor was wishy washy yesterday about coming here today to finish the subfloor in the art studio. Gah! I need him to finish this! The electrician will be here tomorrow morning - I talked to PunkRock about where he wants more outlets installed, but he just seemed annoyed and didn't give me much direction. I need to know in order to get an accurate estimate, so I am going to talk to him again tonight when he gets home from work.

Today I have like 3 loads of laundry to hang up and put away, but first I need to figure out what I am wearing, and take a shower. My roots need touched up, but I don't have time to color my hair - maybe Tuesday I can focus on that.
 
Here are some photos of where we are at now:

Drylock and subfloor complete in the bedroom area!

I took this photo a little early, but the drylock is done here, but the subfloor still needs to be installed.

Inner wall patched, needs paint. It doesn't need to be drylocked, so we saved some money there. The king sized bed will be centered along this wall.

I am not at all sure that this photo will translate well when sized down, but here is the entire plan for the basement. I made the bed a tad too small, width-wise, but there's room, so no worries. I had to go scratch names out to post this, so that's what the erased parts are. :)

Ok, names are still showing so I will edit this in a bit!

Trying again...

Yay! To understand what you are looking at, the very bottom of the plan is the art studio space, where the contractor still needs to finish the subfloor. The backwards E shape are the tables that PunkRock and DarkKnight's cousin are going to build, probably mid-September. The center section will have the standing game table, though we have two really nice stools now as well. :) The numbered boxes on the right are PunkRock's display cases. Both the studio space and the game space will have the rubber floors that we purchased, which are now rolled up behind the couch in my living room!

The bedroom space is kinda self-explanatory, though this will be changing the most next year. I showed where we are blowing out the existing bathroom space (which is both teeny tiny and gross). The closet will be built along the top wall.

Oh! And since drywall down here is at least two years out, we won't be building a dividing wall yet to block out the bedroom. Instead, we'll be using bookcases back-to-back to define the transition. There will be something here eventually, but until the bathroom is complete, slapping up drywall makes zero sense.

Ended up spending the entire day shopping. PunkRock needed work shorts & shirts; DarkKnight needed casual shorts and pants. I hit up the thrift store and got a few things there, and then finished up at Walmart. I left my phone at the cash register and had to come back and get it! Crazypants! I had a heart attack when I realized I had left it. Thank goodness someone turned it in. I went to Home Depot as well, and picked up a gallon of paint for the kitchen cabinets, and some color swatches for the front door. Both of those projects are going to happen this month, I hope!

The contractor didn't make it out today, but he says he will be here this week. That's ok though - we have the electrician coming tomorrow, and PunkRock still has the painting. I saw PunkRock today while he was at work, and we looked at some area rugs together. Didn't end up buying anything. I did tell him that I was sorry he was anxious last night, because I know I had a big part in that. His ADD made me anxious, and his anxiousness manifested as irritability. I recognized it while it was happening though, and gave him space. He told me that yeah, I definitely did the right thing by exiting then, and that I just need to trust that he will get things done. :) So it's all good.

I haven't heard from Greg in two days. He said he wanted to meet up in a couple Saturdays, that he was super interested in me and then it's like he ghosted. Maybe he'll show back up - it's only been the weekend - but I am not getting my panties in a bunch over it.

My bestie here messaged me today and her FMF triad imploded. I told her it sounded like it would, and yeah, it did, and for the reasons I thought. She didn't sound too terrible over text - we are going to meet up later this week about maybe going to some FetLife events together.

Oh! That reminds me, summer camp! I decided I wasn't going to go to the big DarkOdyssey camp that is huge this month, but instead aim for a smaller camp that everyone was talking about at the meetup I went to last week. Well, on checking, it's over my birthday weekend! So freaking bummed about that. I am definitely not canceling my birthday plans with my husbands for a kink camp with strangers. So, I guess I will have to wait and see what else comes up that fits into my calendar. I am still uncertain about reactivating OKCupid - I know once I do, I will be deluged with emails and messages and I don't want to deal with that right now. In a couple of weeks my Chemistry class will be starting, and that will take some time to get things ready. Ugh. Maybe now is the best time? Well, not today anyway!
 
Oh shit, y'all. PunkRock started painting the accent wall! He chose this color - he's calling it "Grimace." Good lord, I hope it dries up darker!

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/bIPeY8xhV4RYDWoXQIyGhy0NjdiP0Od2DbdcslAqCA3

Seriously. THIS MAN. We also need another carpet remnant, for the space between the edge of the bathroom and the wall where the egress window is. It's an 8x7' space that will one day hold some of our bathroom, and a closet. Right now it's where PunkRock is going to keep his clothing racks until the work gets complete over here. So, yeah, no permanent flooring, just like the rest of the basement, since there is more construction to come. Anyway, as I was saying, THIS MAN. He chose this area rug. I brought it home but it was too small, by a lot. But I have no idea why he picked this pattern! I called him a hippie, but he said he was just going to tell everyone it was me.

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/XOlc59UPD84Yh7ZEY9q63iwCNk2vCIqte63L18YtBbS

What I like about that photo though, is that exactly where the rug starts is where the new bathroom wall will be, so you can see exactly how much it will be expanded. Anyway, this rug is going to be returned tomorrow, and then I have to go find a plain, boring remnant to fill this area.

I bought some plants today for my side patio. Well, I call it the side patio, but it's on the front of the house, but whatever. It's the patio area that needs pressure washed, but it's not the section being worked on by my friend with a grinder. Anyway, here it is:

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/tt2NWz8aWrJ3NlVXvgkAIX5QSAf21TkzaoaGfFBXUdB

That's the entrance to what will be my classroom. It is now flanked by two snake plants and surrounded by purple fountain grass. And whatever those two spiky plants are that PunkRock brought home the other day, in the back. Lol

I guess with all these photos I should add in another of my foster kittens. Spike is just a little upset that his brothers took a nap without him!

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/gRUGsJZKZ2oTU8qpkXIFTSQ11XVs2obpq3SIxayzbXY

Aren't they the cutest? Jerry is still the only one with a home - he's the baby in the back with the strong hug game. They get fixed on the 19th and then can be adopted after that!

Struggling this morning. My mom called yesterday to tell me the sad news that my brother "had lost his entire paycheck, isn't that terrible? Apparently he cashed it inside the grocery store, and all of the money fell out of his pocket, before he could spend any." Wow, right? PunkRock calls it that junkie luck. Sigh.

I told my mom that there was perhaps a 1% chance of this being true. She was so upset that this happened to my brother, she was almost crying. She hadn't slept all night, etc. I KNOW she gave him money. Oh, and suddenly he also has an eviction notice, that he is hiding from his baby mama. Because they aren't together-together. They're just roommates because they have two children together and can't afford to live alone. Apparently not able to afford living together either, but whatever.

There is so much drama! Not my circus, not my monkeys. Right?

Only is is my circus because my mom is going to have a nervous breakdown and will have to be hospitalized. I am not exaggerating how stressed out and insane she currently is. She is my brother's biggest enabler - when he was actively shooting heroin in the past, she would give him money daily for"gas, food, parking fines" - you know what I mean. My younger sister believes he is probably using again, especially after last fall when my brother's bank account got "hacked" and all of his paycheck went away. Yeah, a lie.

My mom lives on my father's social security check and I don't think there has ever been a one month period where she didn't give my brother money. Yesterday infuriated me, because she was seriously having a breakdown over the phone with me over this and I wanted to shake her so badly and tell her to stop being a dumbass. She won't listen though.

I sent a message to my brother's baby mama, asking her to please call me today. I am going to ask her about the lost paycheck. She's the one who was able to convince my mom that there had been no bank account hack, because, yeah, there hadn't been.

Honestly, I don't have any doubt that my brother is struggling. His son was born last week and he now has two children under the age of two. He is the only one working, and he doesn't make more than $15 an hour, I think, doing landscaping. But my mom would still help him without the lies. And lies like he just told cause my mom so much anxiety, that it crosses over to elder abuse.

I want to confirm with baby mama that the paycheck was lost. If it was, then I will STFU. But I would bet that it wasn't, and that she doesn't know that my brother is crazy lying to my mom again. My mom deserves better than this, and she sure as fuck needs to stop giving my brother money directly.

I resent that I have to get involved. If my mom wasn't so insane over this, I would just let it happen. Again, not my money or problem. But the fact that she is calling me frequently in tears has got to stop. He's basically stealing from her.
 
Yeah, today is shitty. I think I want to go back to bed but unfortunately that isn't an option I can choose.

Baby Mama called me and yeah, my brother didn't lose his paycheck, he's buying insane amounts of suboxone up in the city whenever he has any amount of cash. He is in a government program that supplies him with some, but they started tapering him off, which he has refused to follow. He went through the 25 government pills in 5 days, and baby mama is at her breaking point. She said not only is he spending entire paychecks on the stuff, but every dollar he has ever taken from my mom has gone to them. So no money for rent, and then borrow rent money gone too.

I had a really good talk with her, apologized for the bullshit, but honestly there isn't much to be done about the situation. If my brother refuses to talk to his drug counselor and won't admit there is an issue, he's going to implode sooner than later and his family will have to deal with the fallout. Sadly. I called my mom to tell her that yes, she's still enabling everything, and she was upset. Same shit, different day. She said she didn't know, won't give him money anymore, yadda yadda. Everything she always says.

The electrician came this morning, and it's raining. So he was able to trace the source of the water in the electrical panel. It's happening because there is a piece at the peak of the house, where the city's line attaches, that is put on backward. So rather than repel rain, it is welcoming it. This isn't something we can fix on our own, the city electric line has to be disconnected, and the piece replaced and installed correctly. Permits required. Because this has been welcoming water for years, the outside lines should be replaced, and the meter box more than likely is corroded. The panel itself has lots of corrosion, and needs full replacement. Ballpark $3000. We'll get an actual estimate in a few days.

Good news that we aren't in immediate danger. However, any part could short and fail at any time. So waiting just means a surprise no power day that the city won't turn back on until everything is fixed. FML.

After the electrician leaves, I roll up the area rug a I bought last night to go and return it. As much as PunkRock loves that pattern lolol It doesn't fit and needs to go. I get it up and into my car, only to discover that I left the sunroof open. Remember how I said it was raining?

And I am done for today people.

O-o-ohh MAN! It never rains but it pours. (See what I did there?) I agree that going back to bed is the best option, shelter in place until bad luck cloud passes. I hope it is soon!

Ha! After I returned the rug, my sister called to tell me she is leaving her husband and bringing her kids to live in Maryland. I'm like, uhhhhhh.....
 
Oh for fucks sake.

At first I only bought 2 4x4 packs, and that was obviously a math mistake. Went back to score the third, and the bathroom door to the left needs to be cut down so it doesn't catch on the tiles. And the last row there needs shortened in order to fit. I am not cutting them. The way my day is going, I'd sever an arm.
 
Your sister wants to move in with you? Now? Hooo boy. When sheltering from a cloud like that it's best to keep your head under the covers and avoid phones and other electonic devices as the bad luck can seep through them. A french drain is hard to install in phone lines.

Nah, just move to my state. My house wouldn't hold her and three kids. I am not holding my breath either way. She has split up and fought with her abusive husband for 18 years. She did say she called the cops on him finally, a few days ago for spitting in her face.

I will not have that drama in my house. No way. Not even if I had a dozen empty rooms.
 
So, PunkRock painted the second coat of purple last night, on the accent wall, though I went to bed early with DarkKnight, so I haven't seen it yet. My son is supposed to be here today to help me roll out the 12x15 carpet remnant for the master bedroom, and then move the dressers and other furniture out of storage - right now all of that is crammed into the other half of our basement! Once all of that is out and set up, I can start moving down boxes from my classroom. Yay!

Holy crap though, I am tired today. DarkKnight and I went and saw 2001: A Space Odyssey last night, at our local movie theater's Film League. This was the third time I have watched it. The first time I was little and I remember having nightmares because of the big headed freak baby at the end. Lol Anyway, it was a good night out with my sweetie. I feel like I don't give DarkKnight enough props here in my journal, but don't worry - he's absolutely amazeballs and I love him so very much!

I still have no idea how to cover the electrical work we need done on the house, but I did talk to both my hubbies about finances yesterday. The current debt load we have is unacceptable to me - we went a freaking decade with no credit card debt and now we are carrying almost $5000 between a VISA and a furniture store card. At dinner last night with DarkKnight I asked him about lowering his 401(k) contribution so we can knock it down faster. We had planned on a reduction over a year ago, but then he got a raise and we decided to just let it ride. Well, now we need the cash. He pulled up his info and discovered that he was contributing almost $600 a pay period to his retirement account. Neither of us had any idea that it was that much - he just usually rolls over every raise he gets into his 401(k) because I would rather not have to mess with math. Lol Big mistake! I mean, we are happy with the amount in his account, but we clearly need some cash now to cover these debts.

So, DarkKnight wasn't able to change his withholding to half of what it was, and the estimate the website gave him was an additional $600 a month in his take home pay. He's going to split that between the two debts and get those knocked down. The furniture is still on 0% interest, so that should be easiest to reduce. I will be glad when they are both gone! Looks like February for the furniture, and summertime for the regular credit card. I fucking hate debt. We do have another card, but that's at a zero balance right now already.

Like I said though, I don't currently have a plan for the $3000 I need to cover the electrical work. Actually, I don't have the official quote yet from the guy, so I am going to just let things bounce around in my head until I get that email.

We are still waiting for the contractor to finish the studio floor. I have that $500 in my checking account, waiting. He has messaged me, telling me it will be this week, but he has no idea when. The other expense I have coming up is $400 or so for the tables to be built for the studio. That I don't have budged for at all, but I usually have that in slush every month, so I am not really stressed about it.

I am feeing worried that with this electrical work needing done, I am not going to be able to go on the beach trip for my 40th birthday, but I think I may just go ahead and book that regardless. I need to get away, and it was never going to cost more than $800 anyway. We will see - I still have one parent who needs to pay me in full for my Chemistry class, and another parent owes me $500. We will see in a few weeks if that becomes possible. If I get paid for those, then I am going to go. It's just for the weekend at the end of September, and we can pack picnics to save on food.

Ok, I am ending this stream of consciousness financial mess. Lol
 
Well, I just re-read my entry and where it says that DarkKnight wasn't able to agjust his withholding, instead it should have said he WAS able to adjust it. Pffft.

Um, I made a huge error in my math recently - I forgot to take into account the check written to the HVAC guy when the central air was out. Fuck! Now I will be short $300 until I can figure out how to adjust things. Totally my fault. Short term this just means that I am ok as long as the contractor doesn't come today to finish the studio subfloor. Tomorrow, ok, but today would be shitty.

I am EXHAUSTED today. PunkRock got stuck at work last night and it was close to 3 am before it was lights out here. I was unpacking books for hours and hours, so I was definitely occupied! He had to get up and go to his surgical follow up appointment this morning, and I had a friend bringing me over an IKEA bookcase for my classroom, so no sleeping in here. We're going to go back to bed when he gets back.

My son and youngest daughter were amazingly helpful yesterday! My son came over and helped me roll out the carpet remnant, and then vacuumed it with the shop vac.

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/nNTKEGvGhO7Ga9QvZIdZIL5GawQ59CUn3mmpyRLuVzW

Then my two kiddos brought boxes down the stairs, out of my classroom into the space in the basement. I am achy all over from my part in that endeavor - I gathered and staged the boxes for travel - I had to separate out the ones staying in my classroom, and pass along the ones labeled with books, to be put in the center basement area. Everything else went in the back part of the master bedroom, stacked up to the ceiling for now. When the art studio is complete, all of those will be unpacked then. Right now they just need to live someplace other than my classroom. Actually, we ran out of space to stack them, and I still have some shelving, Rubbermaid totes, and about a dozen boxes that need to GTFO of my classroom space! My built-in cabinets are full of home remodeling supplies too. It's a start though - I was able to unpack ALL of my board games finally.

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/B1bExCUnWY8SkmQGsSgzOFtiUluxsQZcHUcwZLHrc69

Right now the closet bifold doors block some of the games, so I couldn't really get a great shelfie, but you get the idea. We have decided to keep them up for now - they are housed in my classroom, and I want to be able to close them up and not have them be a distraction for the students.

So, this is the current state of being in the basement! Center area:

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/lZoQSwYMr6G9lfCTZzxApCz0hi2dIgHUnV8gWukoa2u

Once the studio subfloor is complete, the shared flooring can be installed in both spaces. Until then, we can't bring anything into this space, because it will just have to be moved off. It gives us a good work area for now, so any wood cutting or whatever can be down down here.

Master bedroom:

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/HU10zzIoBUUgnWsOWzVmYO7biCvZ4kQiuRX395GWqWV

I am really happy with the overall layout! I wish the boxes weren't here, but they're not in the way, except to make everything look cluttered up. Hopefully they will be emptied and gone in a week or so. I did alter my plan a little - instead of having the 2 sets of bookshelves on one side and another set opposite, creating the room entrance in the center, I shoved them all together. This allowed the window in the center area to be blocked from view when in bed. Now the morning light isn't be as annoying!

Looking at the last photo, I think I am going to have DarkKnight paint the back of the wood-look shelving, black. We have a gallon of black paint someplace in this house, and my game table upstairs will need a new coat prior to my class beginning. I am still putting together my big "here's the shit still needing done to the house" list, so it's just a matter of adding that on and then telling my dudes what to do, and convincing them our lives will be amazeballs if we get this done. lolol

So I slept in til 9 or so, got up, took care of some shit, and then went back to bed for a couple of hours. I bought a small bookcase with a couple of drawers from a friend to use by my laundry area for a short time. I really want to hang a shelf up over the washer and dryer, but I have to look and see what pieces we have left from when we did the closet remodeling. We might have a couple of wire racks I can use. That's really what I want, so I can hang S-hooks and my bras will have a place to dry. Also, clothing that can't go into the dryer. We've been hanging things on the backs of chairs and such but now that the room is emptying out, I want to have dedicated space. I've been on Pinterest a lot!

Honestly, the game room/classroom/laundry room/old garage is all done in paneling and I want to at least paint it, but I don't see any time at all to do that before class starts later this month. So, I'm stuck with it until summer time at least, because with two classes a week I am not going to try and rush paint stuff. So anything I put up on the walls, like shelving systems, won't be staying long term. Story of my life!

This evening DarkKnight and I had D&D, and I got my period. Like, blood bath. That hasn't happened in AGES. I am pretty sure it was triggered by all of the moving things around yesterday. Usually my first day is just spotting, but I bled through my skirt AND onto the chair. No one saw it, and I was able to grab wet paper towels and soak up everything, thank goodness. Everyone left in a group for the front of the store, so I had some time alone to scrub the fuck out of the chair. It's all good now. Jesus that was some fucking bullshit though!

PunkRock went to the doctor today and he got the ok for a return to work with 100% use of his hands. So happy for him! Anyone on the fence about carpal tunnel surgery, I can definitely recommend it. He has zero numbness now.

Tomorrow I am planning on putting away laundry, doing some grocery shopping, and paying bills. So domestic! We are hosting Call of Cthulhu in the evening, in the game room! So I need to vacuum in there, and clean the table. I moved all the remaining boxes onto the far side of the room earlier tonight, so it is looking as good as it is going to get for now, until the basement floor is complete and we can move everything downstairs. Whoo hoo!
 
I was woken up this morning at 3 am by some kittens desperately seeking affection. As much as I love them, I love sleep as well. Alas, it was not meant to be, so I had to abandon DarkKnight to his fate with the babies and escape to the living room couch and Pinterest.

I am so overwhelmed right now - so much needs done in my house! I really want to work on my laundry area, but I know realistically there is zero time and money available for anything fancy. I find myself wondering though, if MAYBE I could convince PunkRock to paint the one wall for me, with paint we've already purchased. Then when we put up the shelving, it will be more permanent. I did a quick check this morning, and I do think that the leftover pieces we have from the two closets in DarkKnight's bedroom will yield something useful. We have a lot of spare scrap wood pieces to build some more substantial shelving too, I think. I have to figure it out. I know DarkKnight will give the classroom table a paint job for me - he already promised, and it's something that starts my school year out on a positive note.

This room is super ugly.

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/ViLK6m7zdYNRHeXo20aGqYFqBITrcMyDXZzVg0tsuvm

Yeah, still lots of stuff that doesn't belong piled up, but seriously, we can walk in here now. Previously, the boxes were touching the ceiling.

Say hi to my kitty cats. That's Harry, coming to see why I was in the laundry room at 4 in the morning. Gah! The landing is still COMPLETELY unfinished. Don't look there.

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/mHHQRKSzwTtdLcpQ1Oxx13EcbE6JZF9G50b9daRqrSI

Next picture, you can see the little shelving unit I bought yesterday. Those curtains are coming down - fire hazard with kids and chemistry!

https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/kTpZk9Zutt7MxxNiM4hC1eER924czFYBj0XlyTx7Dl

Yeah, if so could just get this wall behind the washer/dryer painted and put up shelving, throw down a small area rug, I would be happy with this section.

Call of Cthulhu was fun last night, and we were able to host in our game room, even though it's still ugly. Lol After thinking it over, I'm not going to have PunkRock paint the one wall - I am just going to wait until my Chemistry class is over and then do the whole shebang. If even - we have talked about ripping out the paneling and doing drywall, just making sure everything is good in there. Long term plan though, and I don't really want to focus on that now, honestly. Too many other important projects!

That said, I dragged out the leftovers from the $200 closet systems I purchased earlier this year for the spaces in DarkKnight's bedroom. They were for closets sized 3-6 feet and ours are on the smaller size, so we had a lot of extras left over. After laying everything out, I realized that I have enough to do a complete floor-to-ceiling shelving system over the washer and dryer. We are only missing the hanging rails. DarkKnight and I went to look and see if there were any at the Habitat for Humanity restore, but we were out of luck, so i just ordered a set from Amazon. I am really excited that I will have an organized laundry area and it won't cost hardly anything. Seriously, so very glad I didn't donate all of these extra parts! The new pieces will be here Sunday, and DarkKnight said he will install it then. :)

I almost went to a brunch munch today, but since I hardly got any sleep last night, I went back to bed after PunkRock left for work and got some more sleep. I am so not focused on dating or meeting new people right now. Lol Greg is a shitty communicator, and hasn't hardly been texting at all. I haven't activated OKC yet, and the messages I have been fielding from the happy hour I attended aren't really anything amazing. I did find a profile of someone I might possibly be into, as he is connected with several of my kinky friends. He was going to be at the munch today too, so I guess you can see how motivated I was to meet him. Lol I'm just tired.

Holy crap though - I had super hot sex with PunkRock last night. I had a really heavy period flow, so I was like, I need to cum and I don't even care. I used a toy on myself and he just totally ravaged my tits. I am SOOOOOOO sensitive and touching them is either the worst thing a guy could do, or the best. Last night it was amazeballs. I gave him a super enthusiastic blow job after I got off, and he finished in like no time flat. I guess being able to play with my boobs is such a rare thing that he gets super excited. Lol Damn though, it was really good for the both of us.


PunkRock went to the next town over today to meet up with a friend, so like I said, I spent the time figuring out ideas for shelving and shopping with DarkKnight. At the moment DarkKnight went to take a nap and I am just being bored. Like, I got two huge boxes of Chemistry supplies in the mail today, but I am not motivated at all to open them and start inventory. I just want to sit and feel shitty on the couch. I know that's my period though. Sigh.
 
Random photo drops:

Here I am in my newest outfit! I still am not budging, weight-wise. I need to lose 9 pounds and my body just doesn't want to give them up. I still got compliments from 6 - yes 6 - different guys yesterday, because of my skirt. It has planes on it! They'd do a double take when walking by and say, "omg are those planes? That's so cool!" I am not one to get compliments, but it was more like they were excited about what I was wearing and not me, so I was ok with it!

Here is the tshirt. I bought it especially to go with the skirt, and because my younger brother is a huge conspiracy theorist and believes in them.

PunkRock came home with these for me! I love that he treats me like a princess. Glitter, you guys! And a butterfly!

DarkKnight installed the undercabinet lighting strips tonight in my kitchen! We haven't had time to mess with anything further in here, though we do have the paint and paint sprayer ready to go, to redo the cabinet fronts. Soon! I bought these light strips months ago, so it was so cool to finally have them up!

OMG can you say drama? Got some texts today from my brother's baby mama, and apparently she kicked him out. He's been smoking crack. I contacted my mom and she flipped her shit - not at my brother, but at ME, for not being supportive of my brother. She said he is truthful, and sincere, and he has only smoked crack twice and he doesn't have a drug problem. I'm like, MOM, I am pretty sure having been a heroin addict and now smoking crack and taking all of his suboxone in the first few days he has it so he has to steal his 2 year old daughter's birthday money and wasting his ENTIRE paycheck on them, means he have a fucking drug problem and need to go to rehab. She then started screaming that my sister is a terrible human being and daughter because she went on her son's field trip to the zoo last week instead of taking my mom's cat to the groomer.

I'm just like, fuck this, I'm done.

My sister apparently called the cops on her husband again, and she is definitely leaving him for real. He won't leave the house though and she is uncertain as to what to do. She now wants to come down for an entire week. I am not holding my breath. We will see, I suppose. After she called me to tell me this tonight, she called my brother and then called me back. She said he is staying at my mom's at the moment, and he told her he smoked crack 5 times. Apparently he is hanging out with the dude he used to shoot smack with, and they've been doing crack together. He told my sister that his life is fine. My sister said she is pretty sure that smoking crack means that you've made a wrong turn somewhere.

Holy shit my family.

Things are good here in my house. The contractor finished the basement subfloor, and PunkRock is laying down the rubber flooring right now.

I had amazing buttsex with PunkRock last night. It definitely wasn't planned. I am still on my period, and wasn't planning on having any sex yesterday. We were talking in the kitchen while he was standing up, eating a wrap, and he was just wearing boxers. I dropped to my knees, pulled out his dick and started sucking. All spontaneous and shit. Lol We had some fun fooling around in the kitchen, but after a while he said let's go downstairs, and then we decided on anal. It was AMAZING.

Today I spent time unpacking the Chem supplies I got in the mail yesterday, and I unpacked my glassware. I had to order two new alcohol burners, two new digital scales and a box of disposable gloves. Almost $100, which sucked ass, but I needed this stuff, so there you go.

I am looking forward to the shelving piece we need arriving tomorrow so DarkKnight can hang up the stuff I need. Then this classroom space will be closer to being ready for my course to start!
 
I had forgotten - today is PunkRock's company picnic! I am rather at a loss at what to wear, as it's at someplace with go-carts and I don't know what all else. I don't think just a skirt will work, because I need to be able to move around, unless I go with a Maxi skirt and I am usually not feeling super amazing with how I look in those. I think I am going to end up with a leggings-jean skirt-tshirt combo. Maybe my Stranger Things outfit, though that isn't exactly how I am feeling today. Time to go play with the Stylebook App. :)

This morning I woke up completely stressed out about my budget and how all of my numbers are short again this month. Like, really bad. I'm just paying things as the bills pop up and hoping for the best. That $300 HVAC mistake is being compounded by me needing to spend more on my Chemistry class and needing more groceries than anticipated. I think I am at least $600 over at this point. I should pull out my budget spreadsheet, but at this point I am going to wait until Monday afternoon so everything goes through the bank and I can get accurate numbers. I am not in any danger of being overdrawn, as everything is just in my head at this point and nothing is due yet, but so know there is a reckoning coming and I need to figure out how to make things work. It's not going to be pretty when I finally sit down and try and figure things out.
