I've been overly emotional lately due to some personal reasons, but I'm actually having fun in quarantine.

Everything is spotless, my dog is happy, and life is good.

My autoimmune issues are causing me a lot of pain but I'm getting through it.

It’s hard to focus. 4 more weeks. I’m just focusing on school and stay healthy.

^^i mean no offense but putting the cart back where it belongs is literally the least you can do to help out the grocery store staff. That lady might have been over the top but we all need to do our part for the store employees now more than ever.

I meant to say All I do is order food delivery meaning groceries LOL
only bc Im trying to avoid going into a store right now. I have ordered pizza delivery once & went thru chik fil A once but thats been it as far as eating out goes. It's too dam expensive honestly. I might spend a little over $100 a week on groceries but it lasts me.

Just wish Walmart grocery would eliminate the delivery fee each time I order coz dam $10 adds up fast plus the tip to the driver :( *SMH*

I'm not sure if you can't get Instacart in your area but they have a yearly subscription so you don't have to pay $7 everytime.

lol no worries I figured out what you meant ;D Yeah, Ive been ordering delivery about 3 or 4 nights a week but I really need to slow my roll cause thats expensive. I hate going to the grocery store and been getting that delivered too. I swear, people dont know how to social distance there, doesnt help that the aisles are so small. I havnt been in a store in almost 3 weeks to avoid being around anyone, actually...I havnt done much more than walk around the block for some fresh air in about a month.

I am going Stir. Crazy. Seems like its going to be rough for another few weeks at least...I'll be rocking myself in a corner by then lol ugh

I'm so stressed y'all
One of my customers turned really good friends
Hasn't returned my calls or texts in over a month
It scares me because
He hasnt been on whatsapp over a month
phone is off
He's never done this... he NEVER goes but a few hours w/o text me back
I know he has underlying health conditions
I'm just hurt yo. fuck this virus </3
I don't have contact with his friends
Our only mutual works where we met... I'd have to go thru someone else to contact him...I almost don't want to know though
When the club opens up i'll go find said mutual
grim
af
we talked just barely a week b4 i came back home and we talked how excited we were to hang out
I just know this isnt like him and i think something bad happened
and everyday i dont hear back it hurts more and more. fuck i'm hoping for the best, maybe he found a new bish idgaf,
i just hope this virus didnt take him

I'm exhausted . That's how I'm holding up.

It's a few different reasons.

1. I deeply regret asking my what I hoped would be a new partner the whole " where is this going " convo yesterday.

2. Day 2 of period. I am so bloated and uncomfy.

3. I've given so much time and attention to not melting down with very little income ( and hiding my stress about it ) that I feel like it's just catching up with me.

Former ( or current ? ) SD in Hawaii reports sending flowers today and a dress package tomorrow.
Which is cool. I think part of it honestly is that he wants to spy on my house sit location which is weird but whatever. He asked for the address for the gifts and I gave it to him.

I really need $ though so I asked him for $300 as a " loan " and I think he is going to paypal it soon. I really can pay him back when / if my unemployment ever kicks in or my sales commissions ever come back but I think he'll ok it as a " gift " .
He wants a few photos in the dresses which seems fair. The whole things seems less fun because I'm so desperate for $. ;/

carmen_b
04-14-2020, 03:44 PM
^ Aw, he sent $400.
Honestly, that will cover $300 between two credit card bills due today and a little spending $ so it gives me a little lift.

I started working a remote vanilla job from 10am-7pm yesterday and between that and kids, it has been keeping me pretty busy. When I get off shift at 7 I make dinner or eat dinner that bf cooked, spend time with kids until their bedtime. By 9:30pm bf wakes up for his work from home job shift and I watch TV(no news allowed) and hang out with him until I fall asleep on the couch and he wakes me up to tell me to go to bed. The remote job is only seasonal but it should help keep me occupied, instead of sitting around obsessing over every headache or sneeze.

It's a good idea but I'm nearly retired and moving towards vanilla life. I just pop in to clubs 2-5 days a month these days so I'm trying to keep photo evidence out of the equation ( this is some but it's minimal for how long I have worked honestly).

Yeah, I barely have had to do that. I just twerk around. Also, I read in the Only Fans thread that there is no point in starting an OF if you don't have any fans AKA a following.

I understand but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do besides, don't show your face or tats. Send it from a fake number, etc.

^ Good idea. I'm comfy if my face is partially obstructed at least so you can't 100% for sure place me. Yeah, I'd sell that . I'll have to remember to check my club # google voice and see if anyone is in there lately.

I'm kind of embarrassed that Mr. current / former SD is saving my ass once again but he did say " if you ever need anything " and mostly we always keep things to fun experiences and gifting . I do need to cash lately more than anything else honestly.

Yes, that's where the apps come in handy. I don't send ANY nudes with my face at ALL. Neck down always.

I would sell directly to them. With OF, you're giving out a TON of content for like $20 a month. You can make that + in one shot selling to an individual ONE time.

Such a blah day today.
Tried to work door dash for lunch hours. Something didn't work with the app so gave up making the $30 - $40 I figured I'd get from it.
Then pouted about various things .

I finally salvaged some of the day with a nice walk at sunset by a river with the dog.
Then Costa Vida for dinner.

I feel like I have to calm myself down regularly lately .

Sometimes ( with the income loss ) it just feels like life is a disaster. It can really take some self control to not let your mind spiral. I seem to have zero luck getting either the stimulus payment or an unemployment payment. The IRS didn't have my current address so I filled out the form for that 3 days ago. There was nothing online just making is easy to update address and link my banking info ? I'm so desperate for $ that I really don't want to bother the folks in my old apartment but I am considering doing it anyway.

My state *just* barely got the link up for self employed folks ( thanks for the 3.5 week delay you dicks ) .
My parents are fighting through it with me today.
It just seems to be one battle and then another.

I hope everyone is having a good day today ! Stay Calm everyone.
Keep going and the $ will flow back to us !
I have to just be straight and transparent though ..... it's sometimes difficult to not be angry.

carmen_b
04-16-2020, 07:55 PM
These days I mostly get by on people feeling sorry for me I guess ?
My parents just gave me $300.
It's such an odd feeling to accept any $ from anyone. I haven't since I was 18 probably.......

miss.a.p1600
04-16-2020, 08:11 PM
^ I think the circumstances are challenging for a lot of people which make it a great time to accept $$$$ as it comes - does it *really* matter the source?

carmen_b
04-16-2020, 08:39 PM
I guess it doesn't matter.

So I earned $233, SD gave me $400, parents gave me $300.
That's almost enough to pay my credit card bills, insurance, and buy food ( my only bills really ) but not quite enough. My phone bill and another bill is coming up .

So ..... it still just feels like a desperate struggle to survive. I hope to hell to close a sale at my day job in the next week. Also I admitted on social media I was stressed. I feel like it was inauthentic to post these beautiful photos I took in the desert and pretend like I was *just* having a great time so I described wanting to post something pretty to offset the stress. It felt more accurate.

I really do logically KNOW this is temporary ( I hope ) but I have times where I FEEL like I will just be clawing to get $ like I used to do way back in my early college days for example ( years ago ) !!!

carmen_b
04-16-2020, 08:45 PM
Oh .... and the person I'm seeing ( who works in Bay Area Tech but lives in a more affordable area and just overall has it made ) was chatting about how upset he got in March when some concerts got cancelled. I had TWO THOUGHTS ( I was a little high ). One was just to hit him in the mouth ( like the a solid open hand " pop ! " ) and the other was just to supress this fit of laughing I almost had.

I am not going to make a big deal of it ( especially since i down play my $ stress with him and he doesn't have an accurate picture ) . If you are lucky enough to not have income affected ....... it's a slippery slope to complain is my point I guess. If he does say anything like this again I'll probably just outright say something like " my business should have made at least $5,000 March 15 - April 15 and I made $933 WITH help from my parents " .

I really do not want to hear another comment like this again.

May it FLOW to all of us here !!!

I bought a saxophone and a few books of sheet music, and I just take some time each evening to sit on the back porch and play. I’ll rotate instruments… violin then flute then saxophone… guitar nights are done in the garage unless I’m playing acoustic or the banjo or if the guys I’m forming a band with get together to play… we hash out how we want to do a couple songs, then it usually ends up being just a jam session towards the end. We’ve been having fun with it. We’ve been doing some Ashbury covers lately.

Interestingly, my neighbors from the HOA community next door have been sitting on their own porches while I’ve been doing this and they’ll just listen…usually, they complain about damn near everything.

Wait, what? I’m not part of their HOA (though there’ve been several instances in the past where they’ve tried acting like I am and had tried to coerce and deceive me into joining), and I’ve had at it with them on more than one occasion, especially as part of my yard borders part of the HOA president’s yard. Which may be normal insofar as non-HOA members dealing with an HOA which tries to extend its authority to places it has none goes, but let there be no mistake - I hate every last member of their HOA board. And they’re especially pissed off because I’ve been parking a wrecker in my driveway on weekends, and they can see it, and they know there’s nothing they can do about it and they’re aware that I know this.

Some of the people in that neighborhood, I have decent social relations with, but the HOA as a collective whole? Absolutely not.

I’m not a fan of HOA. Did you know they were originally created to keep blacks and Jews out? Explains why they still act like Nazis.

Anyways, I just have to keep focusing on getting through school. When I get stressed I sleep. I’ve been sleeping through my lectures. I literally just pass out with my head on the laptop. I need a break! No one can learn while they’re afraid for their life. Every trip to the grocery store feels like I’m in a mission impossible movie. Dun nah nah nanna Dun nah nah nanna.

My Quarantine update- having a bad day due to chronic illness issues plus not being able to get my prescrips or see my doctor due to the current crisis. LOL If you happen to see some convulsing down the street from a clinic, it might not be someone with COVID 19, it might just be someone like me who is trying to be seen for their usual medical appointments but cannot get there in time.

I have to keep a sense of humor about this so I don't lose my damn mind.

Never knew that, it totally makes sense. Levittowns were created to keep out blacks too (I'm not sure about Jews).
