I want everyone to know I successfully opened TWO cases of soda without destroying them

It’s Monday, y’all. You up? Are you ready for the week? We have the next two days off, and Podrick let us sleep in.

With Shawshank at work all day, I spent yesterday doing what I could in the time I had. Once he left, I logged into TikTok and put on my makeup, chatting with the random folks who actually had something to say. I started setting up the bedroom, then took a break to eat some lunch. Pippin demanded a lot of my attention, kicking off her shenanigans by screaming from the kitchen while I curled my hair. If I walked near the bed, she ran along the edge of the mattress wanting me to pick her up. She had that look that told me her launch codes were ready to activate, so I put on a robe and picked her up. The last either of us wants is her jumping onto my bare shoulder and shredding me.

By the time I had sufficiently cuddled her, I was logging in around my regular time. I got several compliments on my makeup – some of these guys really, really dig the Lisa Frank color palettes. I’ll have to find a few more bright shadow palettes, I’m always afraid of running out and I need more options.

Shawshank came home at dinner time, and threw a frozen pizza in the oven. He watched me play Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 until it finished cooking. We spent the rest of the night doing fuck-all.

We have the next two days off. Shawshank has already shuffled some boxes from Shady Acres to the new place, and we have brunch plans.

Your dreams were your ticket out

Good morning,y’all. It’s fucking Sunday, and the coffee is flowing. Both kitties came onto the bed and let me cuddle them, and that was the highlight of the bedtime activities.

We had a treat yesterday, and went to an estate sale in town. The last time this happened in town, most of the house had been picked through and they didn’t have much left. This time, even though this was the second day, they still had a lot of stuff to look through. I nearly had a(nother) set of vintage Pyrex, but I didn’t hear Shawshank tell me to pick it up and another woman took two of the four bowls. I left with a ceramic cat, a View-Master, and a stack of reels from the 60’s and 70’s.

The View-Master is great, and I had no idea they put out the variety of shit did. I’m pretty sure the two reels I had as a child were from Disney, but it makes complete sense when you remember it’s directly descended from the older stereoscope and card setup. The sound it makes when you advance the reel is a core memory to me. We passed on the spoon collection.

I took last night off and skipped the streaming. The only way I can get traffic on Fridays is to use my cellular data and log in early, but Saturdays have never been a good night for me to stream, no matter what. I was still productive, and dealt with editing and scheduling what was left of Friday night’s highlight clips. I ate something, then played video games for the rest of the night.

Shawshank has the full Sunday shift today. I’ll, do my #grwm on TikTok then set up the bedroom for a different type of stream.

titties and bullshit

WP Daily writing prompt: What are some life hacks that you practice?

When making Kraft dinner and hot dogs, save a pot and boil the hot dogs in the water with the pasta.

It’s a morning, y’all. And a grey one at that. Podrick‘s been a snuggly boy all morning, even loafing on the bed next to Shawshank‘s feet at one point. At the moment, both cats are being entranced by the birds in the yard.

Fridays have become work days once again. I set up the bedroom and streamed from the bean for a few hours. My room’s traffic generally drops off a cliff around dinner time on Fridays, and I hate sitting through that – wasting data – hoping for more. However, if I can log in early enough, and use the fast connection, I can usually make some money. I jumped online in the afternoon, made about $85 in a couple of hours, then logged out for the night and made dinner for myself and the cats. I spent the rest of the night uploading stream highlights to Fansly, editing preview clips, and scheduling some posts. By the time Shawshank was kicking people out and locking the doors at work, I had almost all the clips scheduled. Unsurprisingly, as long as I feed the FYP a steady stream of titties and bullshit, I’ve been seeing a steady increase in activity on Fansly.

Aside from being greyer than yesterday, today will be pretty much the same as yesterday.

Deep sleep is your birthright

WP Prompt of the day: Do you believe in karma?

Call it whatever you want, but karma is a universal concept understood by everyone. The energy you put into the world will be returned to you. Be good, receive good. Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit. Will you be reincarnated as a slime mold because you once yeeted your little bro’s hamster? That’s where things get tricky.

Good morning, y’all. TFIF. Podrick let Shawshank sleep, but came up to check on me a few times. I didn’t roll over for him immediately. I’m trying to show him there is plenty of space close to me and he doesn’t need to plunk down on my chest. It’s hit or miss. Sometimes he’ll leave if he can’t get on my chest, but at one point this morning, he stretched out on my side.

We did little things yesterday. Not a huge amount, and we didn’t leave the area. I made us some lunch. Later, Shawshank and I went out to move things from Shady Acres, hauled them across town, and left them in the little house. He played some Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and we made a trip out to the secondhand store. I snagged a French maid costume for $2 – dress, apron, and two sets of stockings. Since I made a lovely apron last year, I might turn the costume’s apron into a little maid-like fascinator.

We’re back to work today. My data reset, and I can log in at my normal time. I’m going to have a good night.

Good morning, y’all, and happy Thursday. The sun has decided to make its presence known to the prairies today. According to my phone, the weather should be quite nice. Podrick didn’t do enough to break through Shawshank‘s 2-mask isolation system. Pod’s not necessarily doing anything bad or misbehaving in the mornings, it’s just that he’s the equivalent to a sentient bowling ball. He and Pippin can do the exact same things, but Pod will instantly be louder and/or more destructive simply because she’s maybe 7lbs and he’s probably ~20lbs.

I tried out the new smutty stream props yesterday. I like them, and I like how they turned out. In the future, I’ll make some very minor tweaks to their design when it comes time to replace them. My shift sucked, but I got on The Bean anyway, and I logged in for a couple of hours. The last two days have been terrible, monetarily. The only thing going up this week has been my follower count. Tomorrow, when the phone’s billing cycle is up, I’ll have some data to use again.

Today, we have no real plans. The main thing we’re doing is going to the secondhand shop because we love trash.
