well, that was a year, wannit? I feel like I should do like, a reflective post about how my life changed, but it's too big for that. I can't even decide if it was a good or bad year. I mean, objectively it was horrid, there was violence so I had to face the abuse thing, marriage fell apart, total fucking poverty. OTOH, I confronted the abuse thing, got out of that fucking marriage, and got through the year without getting evicted.
Also got to start living without so much fear and getting to live a more honest life in which I can make my own choices. So yeah, pretty good year.

Thinking about wiscon
Dec. 22nd, 2011 02:34 pmand holy shit, I’m going BY MYSELF this year. Z’s taking the kids out of town for that whole weekend, and I get to do whatever the hell I want the whole time. I don’t know what I’m going to do about, like, a room, I’m probably just find someone who needs a roommate, or kick someone a little cash to sleep on the floor of their room, or, like room hop with random people I’m partying with. Or just not sleep all weekend and stay up 96 hours straight talking in the lobby all night. That could work.
But I don’t have to worry about covering a room for four, or driving back and forth from the con all weekend if we can’t afford a hotel.
Also, I don’t have to worry about anyone getting upset if i FLIRT WITH EVERYONE AT THE CON. Or make blatant passes at all my wiscon crushes until one of them takes me up on it! This is going to be my most hardcore wiscon ever.

fuck money
Dec. 17th, 2011 03:14 pmI'm, um, 700 dollars short on december's fucking rent yet once my check gets here. My mom is basically splitting her xmas money with me, she pays, I shop, we split who gives what to the kids, so christmas is okay, but I don't have the fucking rent because I had to pay the power bill last month. I can't do this. I've been trying not to have a breakdown over it, but that shit is slipping now. I can not get caught up, even with all of the help people have given. What I get at tax time is going to all go to pay what I'll be short on rent through the spring, so I won't be able to put anything aside for moving money. I fucking refuse to lose my shit over money, but I have never been this fucked for this long before, with the kids depending on me, so it's getting harder and harder to not get depressed over it. I just get further behind every month.
I'd still rather be scared about money than scared about him though, so it'll all be okay.

Financial update.
Dec. 5th, 2011 04:09 pmI'm still just fucked, yeah, still short on last months rent, don't know how long my landlady will be patient. When Z pays me his share next week, I will have last month paid and have a little of december, so things could be worse. It's getting close enough to tax time that even if all hell breaks loose and I get an eviction notice, I could have the money for my landlord by the time we'd get to court, and I know she doesn't want to evict me. So I am not going to fucking panic just by thinking about money, I am only temporarily completely fucked. I mean, it's bad, but not end of the world bad. This is either denial or optimism. Either way, it is keeping me from losing my shit.
I may have found a legit backup source of work, too, which may be able to bring in just enough to make the difference if I can pull it off.

It has occurred to me
Nov. 29th, 2011 01:52 pmthat I may well be entirely fucked. I still only have part of november's rent, and no idea how I'm going to pay december. It's not even that Z isn't paying his share, it's that even with his share I just do not have enough to make this shit happen, and I had to keep the electric on this month and that came out of what I had for rent. None of my other income sources are panning out, and I am fucked.
So I'm fucking begging again. God I fucking hate this.

I am sorta posting from MY computer! With an external keyboard and mouse, and it may shut off again any second now, but MY MACHINE IS ONLINE! I can get work done even when the kids think they need the computer. woohoo.
It's kind of pain in the ass and the keyboard is only kinda cooperative, but still, fuckyeah.
edit- that was short lived
