More Realistic big girl budget

budget:

Rent - max: 650
Utilities - 100
Internet - 55
Health - 200
Car - 120
Phone -55
Gas - 60
Cats - 55
Food - 200
Misc - 100
Student loan - 100
Doctor bill - 50
Credit - 50
Savings - 100
--------------------
1895 --> 1900 after taxes

 2375  --> 2400 before taxes. needed each month

20 hours a week = 30$ per hour.
25 hours a week = 24$ per hour
30 hours a week=  20$ per hour
40 hours a week = 15.00$ per hour.

now there are some places cheaper than 650 that i'm looking at.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WP0IMGblhAjvwK-YNkDH8QgRn1xao-ieJZMq_2g7YDY/edit?usp=sharing

with cheaper than 650 rent ... lets say 525?

Rent - max: 525
Utilities - 100
Internet - 55
Health - 200
Car - 120
Phone -55
Gas - 60
Cats - 55
Food - 200
Misc - 100
Student loan - 100
Doctor bill - 50
Credit - 50
Savings - 100
--------------------
1770 --> 1800 minimum needed monthly income.
after taxes..

2200 before taxes. 

20 hours a week =$27.5
25 hours a week = 22
30 hours a week = 18.34
40 hours a week =  13.75


Minimum:

Rent - max: 450
Utilities - 100
Internet - 55
Health - 200
Car - 120
Phone -55
Gas - 60
Cats - 55
Food - 200
Misc - 100
Student loan - 100
Doctor bill - 50
Credit - 50
Savings - 100
--------------------
1695 --> 1700

2100.

20 hours = 26.25
25 hours = 21
30 hours = 17.5
40 hours = 13.25

so i need a job that pays between 13-15$ an hour. OR between 2200-2400 a month. OR 26000-2800 a year. in order to afford nicer places to live.

Do not need this right now.

I’m worried that sweetpea might be sick. She’s gone from feeding every 6 hours to every 3 hours and I think she has hyperthyroidism.

This can be treated.
How expensive it is to treat, I don’t know....
And if it’s gone I treated for too long then it can’t be treated.

If it can’t be treated or if I can’t afford her treatment...
I might have to put sweetpea, my old lady still so full of life, to sleep.

I’m very anxious about her vet appointment.

Plus before that I have a therapy appointment where things might get intense.
So I’m already going to be emotionally raw.
I know I am.

My anxiety manifests as anger in most cases.

I come home to my apartment reeking if weed.
I can even smell it in my goddamn bedroom.

Before ever moving in there was an agreement that smoking would be done outside on the patio.
Well they’ve broken that agreement with cigarettes- they smoke in their room with the window open. Pisses me off but as long as I can’t smell it in my room and the smell doesn’t attach to my things... whatever.

But weed is a whole other animal. And I’m fucking livid.
I am already stressed and I do not need this pushing my buttons because I will fucking explode on them.

I have already had it up to *here* with their neurotic dog that never shuts up.
I have to put up with their cigarette smell in the apartment - legally nothing I can do; this is not a smoke free apartment.
I will not tolerate this on top.

If it happens again, I’ll be a whole lot more confrontational. And if that doesn’t end it  I may just end up haveing to make an anonymous phone call...

Not the same

So.... kissing and making out with someone, even if it’s someone that I’ve had a crush on since Highschool, just isn’t the same.

The differences were... interesting. Different textures and aspects of a person to kind of explore... but it wasn’t really that fun.  Kissing wasn’t really that good. He was sweet, but... not Jimmie.
Sure it felt nice being adored and lavished with compliments and attention... but it got kind of annoying.

I always found Jimmie aesthetically attractive... now that I have had a recent experience to compare... I find the way he feels attractive too.

I never realized how much I enjoyed the coarseness of jimmies long locks, the way I can run my fingers through his hair and have it catch in my fingers... or the way his chest hair curls. Being rougher in texture makes it comforting to play with. Or how much I preferred the way his skin doesn’t just give in to my touch...

Don’t get me wrong... Dillon was more comfy to cuddle, but it was because he is just...
He was soft. His hair was soft. His skin was super soft. His muscles were soft and it was like being cuddled by a stuffed teddy bear.

But Jimmie... he feels strong when he holds me. His body doesn’t give to mine.. it supports it. I can feel how strong his arms are when they are tapped around me. I can feel the muscle in his shoulders. When he cuddles me, while it may not be like cuddling a cloud or a teddy bear, I feel comfortable because I feel secure and safe.

And I couldn’t help but notice almost the whole time I was kissing Dillon... I wanted jimmie. Dillon was too easy of a prey, as Fiona likes to word it. He was draping me in compliments but his words felt hallow and his tone was the same you give when playing with a toddler.

 His tone of voice was wrong. His smell was wrong. His texture was wrong.

He wasn’t Jimmie.

Actions are louder than words

His actions speak louder than the words of my insecurities...
I’ve been feeling very insecure about Jimmie and his sincerity and while I was too relaxed to care last night it bothered me today.

No more anger, just... mistrust.

His actions from last night and today have really reassured me.

I’m so glad.

Honesty

The blessing of honesty....

Well it was in reverse for a fuxking reason. 
I honestly don’t know what to believe right now... 
Jesus fucking Christ. 

Is it impossible for him to be honest? With anyone? 

He says something fucking terrible. 
Then says he doesn’t mean it.
But tells others that he told me the truth and I just didn’t like it. 

So what’s the truth?
That I’m not enough to satisfy him? I’m not proper enough, I’m not slutty enough, I’m not realistic enough, I’m too realistic.... I don’t have my shit together? That I need him? That I’m too dependent and I suck the life out of him? 

Or that he didn’t mean any of that and he just needs to grow as a person?

Considering he said the former more than once, and told others I just didn’t like the truth than I’d say that one. 

Or what about his fucking sad puppy dog routine saying how much he still loved me and still sees a future with me? 
Is that another lie? 

The Oregon talks. More sweet lies to fucking delude me? 
I feel like I’ve been made a fool of. 

Why is it so fucking hard for honesty? 

I’ve moved out. 
Drop the act. 
Fucking tell me that there is no hope and friendship is the only thing on the table. 

I am so tired of being lead on. It’s happened too many times and I just want people to be fucking honest with me.
