Alright.. Change of plans. Maybe? Help me decide. We're almost at our goal for a hotel room for the next five days, but it finally occurred to me that perhaps rather than dumping all this money into even more hotel costs, we should instead do the mature thing and put it towards the apartment application, initiation fee, etc. etc. to get the ball rolling. It might mean spending a night or two in the car if we can't raise additional funds, but it's a third of the way to us being in *an* apartment.

Hello, my friends. I've stared at this screen for five minutes trying to figure out how to write this. It's getting to the point where the thought of having to write yet another begpost (especially one of such an amount, again) makes my skin crawl. But I must do this because I need to everything I can to keep my family safe. My only hope for ceasing this constant digital panhandling is a promotion at work that I really, really need. My family desperately needs an income increase. Yet my only hope for that promotion is rest, and my only hope for rest is to be safely housed. Realistically, no one is going to co-sign on an apartment for a total stranger so my only practical option right now is to continue staying in hotels. Our most reasonable option for a hotel is impractical if we don't pay several days at a time. So.. I'm attempting to raise funds for a week's stay at said hotel, and to cover a haircut and beard trim so I look presentable at work. Goddammit I hate doing this. Especially such a large amount. But I need somewhere to sleep. If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad. Venmo:

Alright Fediverse, I need your cooking help: We boiled some chicken in water last night and now have a pot full of liquid. I say that even though we didn't add any oil (only things added were salt, pepper, and taco seasoning) it would still have fat from the chicken and I'm not sure how to correctly dispose of it. Can it be poured in the garbage disposal, or do we need to find an old can or something to pour it into and throw in a dumpster?

For the past week or so, things ended up falling in line financially so that we were able to pay for our motel room the night before it was due instead of the morning of; this took a little bit of pressure off my partner who struggles more with his anxiety first thing anyway, because I had to rely on him to take care of it because I work late and would be sleeping at the time we would need to take care of it. Unfortunately his meds cost a little more than we expected yesterday. Additionally I had to hurry and buy more allergy medication today because my retail location is suddenly carrying fresh flowers within feet of where I have to work now. So.. it was nice while it lasted I suppose, but I guess things like that always do have to come to an end eventually.

I've got to do some heavy fundraising but I am just so very, very, very tired. Writing screeds to beg for money isn't as easy as it seems.

I was today years old, looking to copy-and-paste something for a meaningless shitpost, when I learned the words are "I've been kissed by a rose on the *grey*", not "*grave*", or half a dozen other variations thereof, as I had previously thought for the past 31 years.
