The longer I let it simmer, the angrier I get about my annoying, arrogant coworker, I swear.

*talking about learning languages*

Him: "Oh I know some Japanese."

Me: "I know quite a bit of Japanese. *joke about watching anime with it*"

Him: "Well, you DO know that anime doesn't have REAL Japanese right??"

??????????

Absolutely fucking unhinged.

Like. Some Australian dude would be like. "My German is good enough to watch some German daily soap on the side" and that kid would go like "uhm sweaty you know that's not REAL German nobody talks like that in everyday life"

?????????

So fucking annoying.

see everyone worried and fretted and panicked and yet quesadilla island looked at pepito and went

and nobody will, nobody can, take it away this time he’s gotta feel good before he dies

not to be another donations post but you may remember how over the summer we had massive amounts of plumbing problems and other unexpected moving costs? well. after proceeding to work every single hour available to me for six months, take no holidays whatsoever, and budget the hell out of every aspect of my life, I was actually on track to pay everything back and maybe have a little bit of wiggle room by the time summer came around!

and then we got a call from the vet about routine labs saying that if we didn't take Suzy in to an emergency specialty hospital immediately, she would die within in a week, she might die anyways if we took her there, but it was our only chance to have a few more months with her. after an extremely difficult household discussion, we decided that we needed to do as much as we could for her. she's been a beloved member of the family for 18 years. we were not going to abandon her in her hour of need.

with two days at the specialty hospital, the prognosis was better than we could have possibly hoped! the most important thing is she does not have heart problems at all, which means that we can treat her chronic kidney disease with normal IV fluids and with careful treatment she could easily be with us for years to come. the timely intervention also may or may not have saved her from acute kidney failure too, we'll know when we go back to the vet on Wednesday to get her blood checked where her levels have stabilized at.

two days at the specialty hospital means we are also down $3652 , and no longer are on track to pay back everything by July when it comes due unless a couple of uncertain things going forward Go Right, I do not trust everything to Go Right, and we're also still uncertain about what long-term treatment going forward is going to cost.

I still have my ko-fi and my patreon, but honestly, I'm aware that everything is tight for everyone always and there are also a lot of causes that need money right now and in the face of that "hey my family went super out on a limb to try to save our cat and would love some help not falling off" feels kind of shallow. but like. not to sound dumb or like a youtuber or podcaster, but, like. honestly I think the Most Helpful Thing that anyone could do for me right now is take a fucking HelloFresh link that will send you a "free" box for cost-of-shipping ($7ish?) if you Sign Up For An Account that you can then cancel Immediately After The Box Has Shipped and Never Give Them Any More Money Than That and get Six To Ten Meals Out Of It, and for getting someone to "sign up", they will give me a free box too. like. if 13 people are willing to take a link then I don't need to worry about food for the next three months. which would be. HUGE.

so I guess.... dm me if you want a link? otherwise expect to see a lot of promotion of my writing/ patreon as I scramble the hell to try to make this money up

The fuzzy shriek of a whistle permeated Marty’s lethargic cognizance. A ship’s horn replied. 

Marty felt Linda lift her head from his shoulder. He pried his numb eyelids apart and, against the deepest hue of astronomical twilight, made out the black hull and funnel of the Carpathia.

“Oars,” Officer Boxhall croaked. He cleared his throat and tried again, meeting Marty’s eyes with a marginally more robust, “Oars.”

Commanding painful dexterity of his hands, Marty wrapped his fingers around the oar with Linda, made sure his mom had hers in position, and rowed on Boxhall’s order.

He hoped Doc made it.

Six more weeks of timesheets to input and then I'm FREE for the semester...

I feel like I deserve some sort of reward for finishing this...maybe a small treat...but what?

achievement get (for the billionth time): take one look at an assignment and get severely overwhelmed AND discouraged for the rest of the day and do nothing
