More death, more stress
5 years ago
This past month has seen:
Running dangerously low on money.
The AC going out -again- and leaving us miserable and too hot to even sleep for days.
A roach infestation in my room that I let fester, due to not keeping up on cleaning food crumbs and such, due to depression and lack of will brought on by everything else.
The death of someone who, while I wasn't that close to personally, was one of the founders of a community I've hung around with for over 4 years now. Rest in piece, Lain of LEWD.
The death of my Grandmother, whom while I wasn't that close with, still saddens me.
+ Death of mother + grandmother within 2 months of each other makes me worry about my father.
The death of our dearest dog, Lily.
+ She was a 9-ish year old chihuahua or chihuahua mix, deer-headed.
+ She never showed any indication of being unhealthy, she had a young appearance, she was energetic, at a healthy weight, nothing was wrong with her.
+ She just started seizing randomly and wouldn't stop.
+ Couldn't do anything to save her. In the course of 15 minutes she was dead, and is now two feet underground in the back of our backyard.
+ She was a good dog and didn't fucking deserve this.
Coping with everything by drinking a lot. I know, not the best solution, I'm sorry, I'm only human.
All that being said... this last month hasn't actually been all bad:
My unemployment claims finally went through, which means I have at least some kind of income again. This was a huge boost to my mental wellbeing, and led to...
Feeling like I broke through the barrier of depression for the first time in... a while... which led to...
Dealing with the roach infestation. Meticulously going through and cleaning out every bit of everything in the corner of the room they had infested, and murdering the fuck out of them little devils lol
We figured out the root cause of the AC/electrical failures.

I worry thinking about what else this year has in store.
