Let's talk homebase

While I pack my bags and ready myself for a flight, I contemplate all the "what-if's" that could happen while I'm out of town. Ultimately though, it doesn't matter. My bills this month are paid, my bills next month will be paid because I have the power and ability to make that happen, as well as putting additional payments on my credit cards this month. I keep feeling like once I get to a manageable position, I can start being able to keep some of my money, but that is just not true.

While it would be nice to keep the money I spend on credit cards and such at the moment, I am grateful to have the money to put towards my credit cards so that I can conquer my debt sooner and chase that idea and reality of financial freedom that I so heavily dream of.

Some of the "what-ifs" that plague my mind currently are "what if I applied my vacation money to my credit cards?" That would be a huge relief in my debt, but it has been over a year since I have actually been on a vacation that was more than a day's drive away. To me, the value of putting that money on my credit card is not worth the value of peace that I will achieve having had this vacation to just relax and unwind.

So, what I do see value in is going to work tonight and Wednesday before I leave so that I can make extra money to put away for January's bills, as well as have some extra money to pay off my credit cards this month.

While I did budget for my vacations, I don't plan to spend it all while I'm gone. Hopefully, I'll be able to come home with at least a couple hundred to spare so that money can be applied elsewhere.

Am I worried that I won't make the money I need to make to actually fully afford these vacations? Absolutely I am, but that's another "what-if" that my mind needs to not weather through. Whatever money comes to me is deserving, and whether one night is good or bad, my monthly average will stay consistent.

With this being said, I have been incredibly embarrassed speaking out about my situation. Partially because of the "how could you be a broke stripper?" stigma. However, I'm not a "broke stripper" even though I'm going through a financially hard time currently. I still make more money than I would at a 9-5 using my degrees, so I'm not in a bad position. I own my house, so I have a lower monthly payment than I would if I was paying rent.

Things are good in my life, whether they are stressful or not. It's like having a birthday cake with sprinkles. I'm just trying to eat all the stress sprinkles off so that I can focus on the cake.

i kind of like my job. it’s way cleaner than my old one but so many *ts and they always have stank attitudes its crazy lol.

my moms might be working there too. Idk why I thought her working with me would be cool. It’s like the only way I can get away from her. she’s depressed w/o money tho so hope it’ll make her spirits high for awhile.

I saw #j yesterday and it was so awkward. how funny he was parked next to my ma. i was with my lil brother waiting in the car for her and was looking at the anime girl sticker on the car thinking how cool. then I saw him and another coworker get in the car lol. I just wasn’t expecting it but idk why it made me feel awkward. anyway. i hope they didn’t recognize me.

going to sleep is kind of hard these days again. idk I thought I was doing well but I’m still thinking about everything unfortunately and it gives me nightmares. I want to keep trying to push myself though and not be sad forever.

the year is almost over and my elder brother will be coming home. I’m excited to see him, I haven’t seen him in a decade. I can’t wait ! 🥹

MY BLANKET OF DARKNESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED

✨👁️✨ I AM SO COZY NOW ✨👁️✨

So I started working on this blanket around June of 2022. Got like, maybe half-way through the blanket and then the yarn I needed for the blanket went out of stock at my local yarn shop. Now I didn't know the yarn would be completely unavailable for like 6 months (until the stop closed permanently), so I just kept on waiting, hoping for it to come back in stock-- but it never did, so in January I finally looked online if I could find the yarn elsewhere and I did, I got the yarn I needed, and finished the blanket. So it kinda took me 6 months to make this blanket but also not

What made this blanket a truly exciting and fun project for me is that this has been the first blanket I actually made for myself and designed for myself. Like I've enjoyed every single blanket project I've had so far, but having a blanket that's Just For Me is just. It's nice

I originally planned the granny squares out digitally because I wanted to have a fun pattern of different granny squares, something that wouldn't be too busy looking and was carefully planned, and here's what I came up with

I had two versions of the square pattern, one with moon phases right in the middle of it and another without them. I do like how the moon version looked and part of me kinda regrets not making that one, but I'm not sure the moons would have really gone well with the eyes... So I did go with the first version

(Sidenote, it's not on the pattern above but I added extra rows of just black squares at the top and bottom of the blanket, so there's two rows of black instead of just one)

(Sidenote 2, although I knew I wanted the blanket to be mostly black from the begining, I wasn't entirely sure what accent color I wanted to use, it really was depending on what colors the shop had available. Like I used yellow as kind of a default color since it worked nice with the stars and eyes, but I could've gone with some other color too. In the end, because I didn't like the color options for the yarn at the shop I ended up going with a yellow anyways) (Also I tested out a reverse color version with the pastel purple and white base and no eyes, just for funsies, it looks kinda neat)

But yeah, that's how the planning of the blanket went.

The blanket is made of 231 squares in total, 11x21 rows. 186 of the squares are plain black, the rest are patterned. The star squares were the worst to make because of how many strands of yarn I had to weave in, 0/10, would not reccommend.

I used the Cedro 100% wool yarn (reccomended hook size 5, 50g=100m), and it took me about 38 balls of yarn to finish the blanket (including crocheting all the squares together and doing a single round of double crochet around the blanket to finish it off)

This is literally all the yarn I have left from this blanket; one untouched ball of black and three partially used balls.

I gotta admit.

I'm kind of shocked by the size of the blanket. Like I very carefully measured it to make it the exact size to fit my bed, and it fits perfectly. But I'm still kinda shocked how big it is. (Which is why I didn't make the border of the blanket any bigger, even though I could've with the yarn I have)

Also

It's HEAVY

Like, of course it's heavy, it's 100% wool and thick, but MAN I didn't expect it lmao

But that kind of makes it perfect for cold winters especially, it's super warm and the weight makes it cozy- like who needs a weighted blanket when you can have one of these lmao

Now I just need to figure out how to protect the blanket from being covered in my white cat's hair...

#Yarncraft Diary #Yarncraft #Crochet #Crochetblr #Yarnblr #Emotionally I classify this as a 2022 project even though I didn't finish it until this year #No I did not block the squares before putting the blanket together #I was planning on just ironing the squares to flatten them out but I noticed last minute that... #...the yarn doesn't reccommend it be ironed so. I didn't want to risk ruining it #And I don't really have a blocking board or anything so I just had to let it go #I could probably just hang the blanket on the clothesline in the shower and the weight of it... #...on top of whatever moisture there might be in the air would probably straighten the blanket out a bit #So it wouldn't ''buckle'' the way it does now #But ehhh it's fine #I don't mind it really

Ruin You

kinktober day 5 - corruption kink

Pairing: Klaus x Fem!Reader

Summary: Klaus takes a lot of pleasure in ruining the Salvatore's sister.

Warnings: Some strong language, smut, oral sex (f receiving), rough(ish) sex, unprotected sex.

A/N: Reader is a vampire if it wasn't obvious.

"Look at you, little Salvatore." Klaus smirked from where he was positioned between your legs, his hand splayed out across your bare stomach. "Such a mess for me."

You could only respond with a desperate moan as he dragged his tongue through your folds, making you squirm beneath his touch.

"Klaus." You panted, unable to keep your eyes open as he pushed his tongue inside you.

Despite your current position, you didn't like Klaus much. How could you? All he'd done since coming to Mystic Falls was make your brothers' lives Hell. And although you hated him, you couldn't deny that you were attracted to him.

Which was why you were currently flat against your mattress with Klaus' head between your legs. And as he continued to work his mouth over you, you struggled to keep still, heat beginning to pool in your belly.

But before you could reach your release, he pulled his mouth away, smirking at you as he climbed up the length of your body.

"Such an innocent little thing aren't you?" He growled, tracing his finger down the length of your throat. "Your brothers will be furious if they find out what I've been doing to their sweet sister."

"Yeah well they're not gonna find out." You argued, your skin seeming to come alight at the touch of Klaus' fingertips.

"We'll see about that love."

He quickly slipped your t-shirt over your head, leaving you completely bare before him. And then he dipped down, lazily dragging his lips across your chest before getting up to step out of his jeans.

He was back on you in seconds, already dragging the tip of his cock through your folds.

"Klaus." You whined, bucking your hips up toward him.

He just pressed his hand against your stomach, keeping you flat against the bed as he teased you. "Look at you, you're bloody desperate for me to ruin you aren't you?"

"Klaus." You whimpered, not even bothering to argue with him. You just wanted him inside you. "Please."

"As you wish." He chuckled before pushing himself all the way inside you, making you cry out at the force.

He gave you no time to adjust to him before he started thrusting himself inside you at an already bruising pace.

You let out a pained sound at the stinging feeling of his dick rubbing against your walls but he didn't let up. He just continued to forcefully slap his hips up into you, one of his hands curled around your shoulder to keep you in place.

"What a sight you are." Klaus said proudly, a devilish smirk on his face as he pounded into you.

You could only respond with a loud moan as you squirmed beneath his hold, the pressure in your stomach building.

"Harder!" You pleaded, screwing your eyes shut as Klaus continued to thrust himself inside you.

"You sure about that love?"

"Klaus...please..."

He just let out a quiet laugh before pushing himself into you even harder, making the bed shake beneath you both. You were surprised the bed hadn't collapsed yet.

The sound of skin smacking against skin echoed loudly around your bedroom and you hoped to god that nobody was in the house because it was too late to be quiet now.

And after a few more hard thrusts inside you, you felt the fire that had been building in your stomach finally explode, a wave of pleasure crashing over you as Klaus continued to slam into you.

You practically screamed when you came around his cock and it didn't take him long to reach his release as seconds later, he was twitching inside you.

Klaus groaned when he finally filled you with his release, slipping out of you and stepping back to look at his work.

"Bloody hell." He breathed out, a proud smile expanding across his features as he stared down at you. "You're a mess, little Salvatore."

I’ve seen posts about more rogue SecUnits ending up at Preservation and the PresAux humans realizing Murderbot is a bit weird and feral, and it’s a great concept, *but*:

I raise you that more rogue SecUnits end up at Preservation, and the PresAux humans slowly begin to realize that every single SecUnit/construct is weird and feral in its own unique way.

T17 keeps trying to eat human foods, even though it has no digestive system and barely has tastebuds. A47 is a gremlin that spends 70% of its time lurking silently in the ductwork. The Green One will tell everyone about its plants and it Will Not Shut Up under any circumstances. Every few months everyone has to go on a scavenger hunt for Silence and un-alphabetize everything it alphabetized in the interim. It’s just easier to wear a life preserver while doing anything in Dock 27, yes it makes the SecUnit there more comfortable, no you don’t want to experience stealth force-life-jacketing. Things like that.
