How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Literally just discovered active termites today right as I’m finally ready to make the leap on repairing and moving into the old family home. It has been functionally abandoned for about five years. Had the contractor over for a quote, noticed a ripple of paint on a piece of window trim, tapped it, and it completely disintegrated under my finger. Peeled away some of the surface paint and my stomach fell through my ass watching 2-3 termites scurry away from the disturbance I had just made. The paint rippling continues up the trim.

I now have a pest control guy in line to come out and assess. I keep hallucinating bugs crawling on me. I might neck myself if there’s structural damage

I hired a photographer with a DSLR camera...
 
I've had a long month. Not necessarily a bad one though. Just work has been busier than usual and I've had to help my family with lots of errands. But it's okay. At least I get to relax for now.

Good and a little tired.

The good: My rent will get cut by 3/4 next month. Meaning I got three extra grand. One will go to my savings, the other to the dentist, and the last is to splurge because it's my damn money and I wanna have fun.

The bad....or the tired:

I found myself in the situation of providing life advice for someone again, and let me tell you, to any female Kiwi really, there's something extremely sad about women with absolutely zero sense of self-respect who measure their entire self-worth by how useful or attractive they are to men, so they just put up with men walking all over them.

Bitch, get some self-respect.

"Oh, I allowed my boyfriend to have an affair as a compromise because I have a crippling, untreated mental disorder that I am currently treating, but it makes housework difficult. He said he has grown resentful of me for it, so I said he can have sex with someone else and I can't because I'm fat and ugly and most men don't want me but my boyfriend said no because that's stupid but he went out and fucked people behind my back anyway. Also he has a list of all the dumb things I've said to laugh in my face about so-"

Bitch, what are you doing??????

"Well I'm 33 so I'm used goods.I'm past my prime. And I will never find love again because my boobs are too small and I don't look like Instagram models and I don't want to be single. I want to be with a MAN-"

Bitch, stop!

Actually, this sort of behavior is extremely sad from men too, usually coming from someone who has a whole lot of issues that should be sorted out before they hit up Tinder or whatever.

I'm a believer in the saying, "you need to love yourself before you can love someone else," and I think this situation just continues to highlight how true that is because I've dealt with a lot of mentally troubled people thinking dating will replace therapy, and this is another instance. The fuck?

My god, I'm beat.....
 
Surgery took 12 hours instead of the estimated 5. Feel like absolute dogshit, and being awake is miserable, but it's apparently all gone.
