Update, 12/02/2025

Hello everyone, We're back a bit sooner than we thought we would be ... mainly because we're really stressed out and writing helps us to be a little less stressed out.

Why are we stressed out?

For those of you who follow our mastodon, you'll know this, but for those of you who don't, this is something new. We got all the monthly benefits we're going to get this month, but are almost definitely not going to have enough cash to pay off rent, internet, electric, and our other payments we have. I'm honestly worried we may end up homeless, and since both of us have chronic paina nd autoimmune disorders, this could be dangerous. With that out of the way, back to our regularly scheduled blog update.

What Have We Been Doing?

Besides stressing ourselves out over this financial issue, we've also managed to do a YouTube livestream in the past couple days. It was fun, being able to play Hearthstone and talk to the viewers. I like doing it. I've also been resting because ... yet again, more chronic pain. It's a bitch. But I did get something on the YouTube for people, and that makes me very happy.

Not much to say here, but we are sorry we didn't manage to get another post in near the end of November. We are glad to be back here now though, and posting for you, even if it's not entirely for a good reason, we're trying to make as much of this post positive as we can. So in a way, 4 or 5 days is better than the month/months we went without posting in the past. So we're trying to get better. And we plan to do a livestream maybe sometime tonight or tomorrow if we have enough energy.

Note: This section is not here as an attempt to make anyone feel obligated. If you are able to help and wish to, please feel free to visit the links linked in the signature and do so. If you can't help, please try not to feel guilty or in any way obligated. We understand that everyone has their own situations, and their own needs, and may not always, or even usually, be able to assist, and we thank all of you in advance for reading this post and the below section at all. (Yes, this was copied from a past post, but it still stands.) Due to receiving our benefits, we did get the negative account balance sorted before the bank took any insufficient funds fees. But ... due to the negative account balance, which occurred due to some bills, we now don't have enough cash to pay our beginning of the month bills. So that's our new goal, anything that comes our way will go to that, and to cleaning supplies and other household essentials. For instance, I still need to get a wheelchair so that I can go out more often, which would likely help me not to feel as much pain. When I was in one in the past, it did help a little bit, so long as I didn't use it all the time and did some stretches and exercises.

YouTube Updates

We discussed this in a couple of the previous sections, but as mentioned there, we did a livestream a couple days ago. The link for the YouTube page is in the signature, and the link to the live page is in our mastodon. Visit This Page for the livestreams However, we've put the link to the livestreams page here anyways. As mentioned in the last post, when we're actively streaming, that link will take you directly to our active live. When we're not streaming, it will take you to the page that displays our lives in order of newest to oldest.

Financial Life Goals

As mentioned in the past few posts, we're trying to get more consistent, so we're keeping up the life goals sections. 1. Most importantly, we're trying to get the cash to pay our bills. The goal for that, as listed on our mastodon, is open-ended, anything we get will go toward that. 2. We're also still working on getting the money together to go to the SSA for Z's stuff. Again, don't know how much of that z wants shared, but that's still happening.

Non-Financial Goals

To keep with the consistency of the last post, we're now moving onto non-financial goals. They're pretty much the same as what they were 4 days ago, but I'm putting them here for the sake of consistency. 1. I'm still hoping to get more posts put up on the blog so you guys have more content to read. 2. I am also hoping to get back into the recording schedule for the YouTube, along with livestreaming. If Z is interested, we'll do some combination streams.

Over the past few days, I have also added some products to my kit.co page, which can be viewed from the signature. I know a lot of people don't like product placement, and that's why these are near the bottom of my pages. That way you can read the content you came here to read, and if you want to go look at my product pages, you can do so. It's mostly tea and snacks and random kitchen gadgets, but they're there to be looked at and bought should you wish to buy them.
