WP Prompt of the Day: What’s the most underrated life skill?

Being able to live alone. Not just because of the budgeting involved, but because being alone all the time is hard.

It’s another sunny morning out in the grass today. Podrick is sitting on the living room floor, watching what can only be described as a Hitchcockian level of sparrows.

I had a very weird Monday. Shawshank left for work, and I set up the bedroom to stream. It was sloooooow; I don’t know what my problem was, but I was draaaaaging. I was late logging in, but pushed through until my first break, refilled my drinks and went back to my stream. When the sun started to move into the window, I logged out. My plan was to eat dinner and let the worst of the sun move across the sky. I put the dish in the sink, checked the sun (still right on the bean), and returned to the couch to wait another 15-20 minutes. I guess my body needed a nap, because I crashed – laptop on my lap – right on the couch. I woke up over an hour later, groggy and confused as hell.

Most disappointing. I looked so good, too.

Today will be better.

it’s Monday and we don’t need to be happy about it

WP Prompt of the Day: What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?

I have two: People in hell want ice water, and you’ll never see a dead cat in a tree. Simply, you can’t always get what you want, and sometimes you need to do scary things to survive.

It’s a new week. Huzzah. As usual, the cats are doing cat things. Podrick hasn’t noticed there’s a fat little sparrow on the feeder, stuffing himself with seed before the sun comes up more and the other birds want breakfast.

We made it through our busy Sunday. We kicked off the morning with a drive out to Slightly BiggerTown with Shawshank‘s mom. Our first stop was to visit his dad in long term care. We arrived at breakfast, so we didn’t stay too long. Then we headed out over to the grocery store. We split up to shop, meeting up again at the registers about 45 minutes later. After one last stop for lunch, we headed back home. Shawshank brought groceries into both houses, ate lunch, then relaxed with a controller for a couple of hours. We’d invited his mom over for Sunday dinner, and I made a yummy soup for us. She brought over a small mason jar so we could send her home with some leftovers; Shawshank found another one in the cabinet and sent her home with two.

Today starts a solid, 5-day week for us. At least it’s a sunny day.

Good morning, y’all. It’s a sunny day and I’ve been blessed with snuggles all morning. The front yard is filled with sparrows and finches, taking turns flying out of the pines and pillaging the feeder. The little shits emptied the one on the railing in 24 hours.

I took last night off; I didn’t want to deal with the Saturday crowd. Shawshank left for work, and I got busy bleaching my hair. I stocked up on my favorite bleach when we went to Walmart a month or two ago, and I finally got around to actually using it. I’m in the mood to be a redhead again, but unfortunately I don’t have any red in the house, the pharmacy isn’t open today, and I don’t like waiting two weeks to put color in. Looks like a Jessica Rabbit cosplay is off the table, as I’ll have to be pink and/or blue again.

Since we’ve been hooked on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 for over a month now, solidly stuck on building shit and knocking it down, I added “Tropico 6” to the game library. I spent a bunch of time playing it last night, and I’m pretty sure I completely forgot about declaring independence from the crown.

We have a busy day ahead of us, starting with a shopping trip, then visiting Shawshank‘s dad, and having his mom over for dinner later tonight.

The weekend is here, and the sun is shining. I’m not sure what the weather forecast has in store for the day, but we’re definitely strolling briskly into fall. I completely crashed last night, and wasn’t up too early. I’ll call it a win.

THE HORRORS PERSIST AND SO DO I

We both had normal Fridays. I set up the bedroom and worked for a few hours. My room had a lot of traffic and chatting, but not enough paying dudes. I could set chat to allow only guys with tokens to chat, but they’re my kindling. I use the bullshit they say to me to get money from the dudes who do have tokens.

Broke guy:  I'm leaking precum everywhere
Me: Oh, sweetie, that's not precum, that's just your will leaving your body as I take control, now shut up and stop stroking
Tipper: [sends 150 tokens and tells me that's the hottest thing he's seen all night]

Shawshank has work tonight. Tomorrow is the only day off for the next 5, and we have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow.

Good morning, world. We had a cozy morning in bed, because Podrick was a good boy. He came up for cuddles a few times, but I think he decided it was more fun to watch the birds once the sun came up. Pippin came up once as well, not to snuggle, but to yell at our sleeping forms.

We worked yesterday, and it was a better night for both of us. I made a li’l money, and Shawshank wasn’t pressed into a volunteer firefighter role. There’s a period of about 30-45 minutes where I have to dodge the sun as it tries to blind me. The light comes in and the cam tries to adjust for it, so some things might be in full shadow while another part of the screen is overexposed white, and you can’t see jack or shit in either case. I use that time to take my top off and fuck with people. Oh no, my top is off, y’all, I hope nothing slips uwu 👉👈 After I finally logged out, I spent an hour or so uploading stream highlights to Fansly and scheduling posts, then switched to playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 because I didn’t want my entertainment to make me think.

Tonight is Friday, which means I’ll be struggling for every token I make after 4pm. On a more positive note, Smackdown is on, so I have something to look forward to when Shawshank comes home.
