Update, 01/31/2025
Hello all, It's been a few days since we updated the blog, but we're back again. This is going to be a combo post, updating on the things from the previous post and going into more detail.
Landlord Business
Our landlord came over again the other day because we had to get the septic system pumped out. We also had to have a plumber over to diagnose the problem ... plumbers, let me tell you now, are extremely expensive. We get why ... they're cleaning up the pipes, and from what we understand, pipes can get pretty gross. But still, plumbers are expensive! I had no idea until we had to call one out here. It turns out when the landlord said he wanted to build a wall in between the living room and the rest of the house, he meant a wall with a door. He didn't clarify, so we thought he meant, take a wall and block off the living room so we couldn't access it anymore. That is not what he meant. Thank goodness for that, we like our living room. It's where we watch television and listen to music and youtube videos.
In other News
We also had some friends come help us to deep clean the house, and they did a wonderful job. They're good people. We'd go into more about them, but don't know if they are or aren't ok with their information being on the Internet. We've also been writing stories from random prompts in our mind. If anyone's curious, we will try to pick some of the happier excerpts to share with the blog, just send us a message via one of our contact methods telling us you're interested. We are also trying to work on more blog posts outside our somewhat irregular updates. There are currently 13 titled blog posts in the works, though most of them need quite a bit more touching up and fine tuning before they'll be ready to put up here. In the meantime, we're hoping to become more regular with our updates on here, but to be completely honest, that will fully depend on our stress levels. Which brings us to our final, and not so positive point. Apologies in advance for ending on a negative note.
Financial News
Due to our landlord having us remove our third house mate, we are now financially hurting. We may be able to pay rent, but will have very little money after that is done. There is no specific goal as of yet, but if anyone can support us, it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has work we can do, we'll take it. Note: When we say work, we mean standard jobs or even freelance work. No explicit stuff, we're not that kind of employee. You may be asking, “Why in the world do you need money?” The answer can be found by looking through our previous posts, which you should totally do if you're interested in our content anyways. But it can also be found here. We need cash because we live in a rural area that does not have cheap paratransit. Or, for that matter, any paratransit. In order to get anywhere, doctor's appointments, store, anywhere at all, we have to pay at least $15 each way in uber costs. We need to keep our house clean, and those types of supplies cost $20 for a group, $30 or more if you get the refills for the Swiffer mops, and the wet and dry pads. There are nights when neither of us can move to cook food, and on those nights we still need to eat. Meals cost money, at least $25 to feed two people. We'd really prefer a job, because as mentioned in our last post, we don't really like having to ask for cash from our online readers. It's not polite. But until we can find a job, this is what we have to do.
Closing
We hope you enjoyed the good parts of this post, and are sorry we had to post the not so good parts. We hope that posts will get better in the future. Again, if you're interested in our fantasy work, send us a message. See you all in the next one.
