Hey, look! I’m back online again.
Where did I go?
Well, I was here, but apparently you have to pay to stay on the interwebs and my check bounced so I just lived in the shadows while you got error messages trying to access this site.
Why?
Because my household went from making $140k a year to making… well… nothing to start. After years of blood sweat and tears we are finally making 40k a year. Yay us!
Not that the bill collectors care much about our progress. They still want the money that I promised to give them when I lived in a cushy, beautiful townhouse with an outdoor grill next to a playground… Ah, I miss it so.
Now I’m in a stuffy basement where I’m afraid to open the windows because I’m pretty sure an army of bugs would move in, and my cats are not good hunters. Given the chance of freedom, my large, awesome part main coon rescue ran away from home. Gone for two days giving us all heart failure, and then returning with black paws instead of white and an incredible urge never again to leave the basement.
You know what else suffers when you can’t pay your bills?
Mental health.
Sure, sure, it’s all in my head and I just need to go outside and get some sun, think happy thoughts and suddenly my anxiety riddled with depressive outbursts brain from years of undiagnosed ADHD will be miraculously healed.
Praise Apollo!
Ooo, and my physical health… Ha. But no one cares, so I’ll skip all the health stuff and refocus.
Focus is hard with ADHD, but I’m working on it.
For starters, I’m trying very hard to get into a master’s program in marketing so that I can sell my own books. Work for myself so I can write for a living and actually pay my bills.
AWESOME!
But, uh, I have ADHD. The finance department wants money, which my current employer said they would pay on my behalf. They provided a voucher and everything, but the school said it was invalid because I didn’t have the course schedule on the voucher.
Cool, but, as I understand it, I can’t get the course schedule without paying for the courses.
So…
Are they being jerks or am I distracted and don’t know what’s really going on?
Stupid ADHD.
Is it too late to be a demigod in the Percy Jackson world?
Kill me or let me shine.
That’s really where I am at.
