jacob, I am so glad that he decided to go to therapy! I hope it will really help him :)

Hi Themis, nice to see you around here! Also glad that you and your husband "fixed" the problem of him lying by yourselves :)

mem, sorry that you are not pregnant I guess :qhehe:

@Themis: LOL, it's funny how kids refuse to acknowledge their state (sleepiness/sickness) because they really want to play while adult men just cry over having a runny nose and sore throat XD My bf is "dying" every time he gets sick and I'm just a nurse taking care of basically a dead man xD

I should be fine after a few days. Everything kind of falls on your head and you have no idea what's going on. Then someone calls out a mistake you made a few months prior and suddenly admitting the mistake isn't good enough, you have to actually make an excuse to your boss so he could justify you... like what just happened? XD
My job's fancy name is "Data Processing specialist" what roughly translates to "Mindless keybord and mouse clicker" :D I just put some stuff into our system all day and it's hella boring but at least they money is nice and I'm not mentally tired after work so I can focus on writing and stuff.

@jacob: Wow, that's really great! I hope he goes through with it and does the self-work. Omg, I'm low key proud of him xD Is that weird? I'll shut up :qoops:

Funny that Ash and I had an unexpected therapy-problems talk. Nothing huge (although important to me still), we just disputed about our living conditions 'cause I'm so sick of lack of privacy and peace living with my grandma. He said therapy sin't helping him yet, but he still likes to talk to his therapist. I'm guessing he's just figuring himself out for now. So I'm trying to ignore my biological clock that's like YO! GET TO WORK BIATCH! lol

@Julez: Hehe, you don't have to be sorry, it's not like we're actively trying since he's SO not ready. I really got my hopes up this time and that's it. Not a big deal really, if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it's okay, probably not the right time. Besides I'd rather actively try than just wait for a miracle, you know? :mcwink: Still, hope is hope, it never leaves me xD

@Themis your story gives me hope :mccry: haha at least we know it is possible for someone to change!

I think he will keep up with it, for a while at least. And that while may be enough to make a real change, which is the least I wish for. Yesterday night we got the best news as well. He has finally got a new job. So now we will have two incomes instead of one again, and I won't have to feel like I am dying all the time lol. I just agreed some new contracts but that's still good, I can start putting savings aside instead of just living from day to day.
And I don't know how he managed it after not being able to get a job for so long, and even being turned down for jobs that would be a step down, but he has somehow got a promotion XD He'll be a regional manager now.

@mem your job translation made me laugh XD
I know that feeling. I had a bit of a pregnancy scare some time back. I never really believed I could be pregnant but the doctor made me do a test in order to rule it out while I was seeing her for some symptoms. At that moment was like a bit of a rush of strange excitement. And then strangely deflated that it was not positive, even though I already knew deep down it would not be. And then you start to think yep, let's do this, oh wait we can't really lol.
So long as J keeps this job and we get approved for a new mortgage to move to a bigger house next year, which should be possible if all goes well, I want to start trying properly as soon as we have enough bedrooms and a bit of outside area, a small garden or even just patio or something. The bad thing is I guess we will have to give up our love of balconies in the next house because we don't want children falling off them XD

Mem that's how it is when hubby is sick, he can't even get his own drink off the counter where as I'm sitting there playing with a kid, hacking up my lungs, and doing dishes at the same time. Men are such wimps. Lol

Well damn, if the money is good I wouldn't mind being a mindless keyboard monster too! Lol. Nah, I bet you had to do a good bit of training and/or school for that job. I'm glad it doesn't wear you out too much though. Dental was my career before a child and medical knocked me out of the working world and omg that was exhausting I had no mental capacity left after work. I remember one week was very hard, I had a ton of paper work to do, studying up on new tools that came out to make procedures easier and 4 surgeries, which we usually try to do no more than 2 per week as they are very long and exhausting, I was so warn out I went to buy smokes after work on my way home and when the cashier asked me my birth date I literally blanked, I could not remember. I stood there quit and stumped while my Mom, who thankfully was with me, answered for me. My brain was fried and I ended up taking a 3 day weekend to let my brain rest. Lol

@Grey Oh trust me, there is hope. If they love you enough and actually want to be with you they will change and fix the pronlems so as to not lose you. He ended up kicked out of the house at one point for several months and that's when everything clicked in his head. He suddenly was allowed to do everything he thought he wanted to do and after living how he wanted he realised he was not happy without me and it was no way to live. Completely changed man now. It may take something drastic like that, or therapy may be enough. I had told my husband a couple times he needed therapy and while he agreed, he would not go. If he had, we may have been able to get things sorted out much sooner.

@Julez Hello! It is nice to see you still around. How have you been?

@Mem oh I'm sorry, are you trying to get pregnant?

@Themis Oh I've kicked him out of the house before, haha. Actually that might have been a factor this time. The argument reached that level again and he was about to storm out of the door with his bag of clothes. And then he stopped and turned around and said he didn't want to leave. So I guess the options were leave or fix it and he had to choose whatever the other option would be.

I am in a little bit of a work dilemma at this moment. I have the offers of two different mentorship-style programs to go into with two different people in my two different areas of income.
The first is £175 for a few months that will aim to increase the income for my books. Right now I make less than an average day's pay per month from them lolllll so it would be good to increase them. I mean I always knew it would take time to build up but maybe this guy can help me speed up and use better strategies. Even though the price for this one is lower, it will likely take me longer to earn that back just because I'm not earning close to that much a month right now, therefore even doubling my sales would not earn it back right away.
Then the other one is way at the other extreme for around £750 and is with a woman who is a superstar in freelance writing, who would be able to coach me towards the aim of doubling my income from that. I'm actually not remembering how long it is for but I think a few months as well. She has a proven track record but she also admitted she isn't working in the same niche as me, but that she would work on stuff like mindset (where I think actually my biggest issue is where to find clients, or get them to find me. And I think her answer to this will be pushing me to build a new website which noooo I can't run four business websites at once please kill me)
I don't really think I can or should do both of them because I will have phone calls, messages, 'homework', and stuff to do for each of them and doing both at once would be too much. But they are both available now and if I don't take them up, the next time around they may be more expensive.
Plus if either of them works to actually increase my income like they say, either of them would be worth it. Although am I 100% convinced they could increase my income in their particular area by enough to quickly pay off the course fee? not really. But then sitting around and not trying anything new means not developing and growing my income, which I do need to do right now (less working hours for the same pay, at least, before I go crazy). I don't knowwwww

Oh well jacob, this is a very tough decision :/ I'd say go for the first option because you don't have much money now so even though it is a long term expanse, I would still consider that fact.

Men are really weak when it comes to having a cold or a flu :mcheh: I am glad the men in my family take it very well actually.

mem, I like how your thoughts about pregnancy changed a little, good that you take the situation as it comes :)

@jacob: I cross my fingers J does what it takes and everything goes well for you two. And congrats for the job! *throws confetti rain* (haven't had that in a while I guess, lol)
Hehe, glad I made you laugh :qh:
Right? You know it's not really possible but you still hope xD Last week I got soem tarot readings about pregnancy and Ash got about kids playing big role for his that week and I wasn't paying it much attention at first, beacuse that kind of reading can mean also doing creative stuff and I took up NaNo so I'm like "yeah, that's the stuff the reader means". And then my period was late and my brain said "remember what the tarot cards said? something about pregnancy!" and then it spiraled down :qhehe: So I can be reasonable and then bam! I'm being all ridiculous. :qoops:

@Themis: Actually my job is easy enough for any elementary school kids these days. It only requires basic English (meanwhile I'm certified C1 level) and basic computer skills (basically any kid above age 3) and then just a general explanation how the whole system works and where I'm supposed to click when. I can say 99% of my duty training went to hell because I'm not using the knowledge in my daily tasks. They had to teach us all of it though, because they haven't had figured out who's going to get which tasks, my whole team was transitioning tasks from another country (which means we're probably even making less money than the previous employees who lost their jobs by that transition).
So I mean, it's nothing compared to medical stuff :qhehe: I'm dazed a lot because of boredom but I've never forgotten my own birthdate, so cudos to you :D

Nah, I'm not trying to get pregnant. Just wishing we had an accident :mcheh: :mcargh: In a nutshell: I'm ready for kids, my bf isn't and he's kind of right since we live with my grandma, but at the same time he's wrong because he just wants to buy an apartment before we start a family and he would LOVE to avoid taking a mortgage credit so it would basically take us ages to save up that kind of money and I really don't want to wait that much time.

@Julez: Haha, yeah, I kind of had to change my mindset. I'm not gonna convince Ash at all and I would loathe myself if I caused the "accident". Plus Ash is in therapy so I would like to see where it takes him. So far I see some progress, not huge, but he's been complementing me more often and he's trying to communicate his thoughts and needs and expectations from me. Our communication sucks so I'm happy he's learning it (and kind of teaching me, I'm not used to it, lol). Besides I want to believe in the divine timing and such. :)

That sounds great! I am proud of you that you think this way now! Indeed, if Ash is in therapy and you live with your grandma it might be worth waiting for a change in these things before popping a baby into the world :D

I missed my troth tokens yesterday and now I won't be able to afford a single one of the monthly hairs :mcargh:

Yesterday was really good though. We spent a day together like we haven't in ages. Got so tired out that we came home and fell right asleep after tea haha.

I know how it is, things aren't the right time for having a baby but still it would feel nice to have one :mcheh: crazy old internal biological clock ticking away.

BTW so far I have chosen none of the options available to me :D I am good at procrastinating on decisions until they are no longer open.

@Julez: Thanks, I'm trying to be logical, but as @jacob said, it's that stupid clock :mcargh: It's like that moment when you know you're in the wrong, but you still kinda want things to be your way, you know? It's infuriating at times, tbh XD

@jacob: Do you want all colors? I could buy them for you if you want them :mcshock:

Yay for a day spent together!

Hehe, procrastinators unite! Tomorrow...
I get that, there's this woman on FB that I follow because she makes some writerly content and for November her workshops/courses were on discount, but like 3 similarly-themed courses per week, and I wanted to take them but then I procrastinated, so I forgot and then realized after the dealines and now I'm like damn, I shouldn't have been thinking so much about it. Now I'll have to wait till spring, she said she'll be giving some discounts then. Or I'll cave and let her make some money with normal prices, we'll see XD
I feel I'm being very eclectic about this writing thing, I can;t seem to focus on one thing at a time and Idk if that's good. :qoops:
