Live, Love, & Sparkle!

I live my life in full color. This is my perspective on life, love, and what makes things sparkle. Enjoy!

The mind is not black and white. It is a thing that remembers the pain, and it feels like a prison, but it can be the thing that unlocks the door, and sets you free and brings you back to yourself....

Dr. Oliver Wolf said that. He has prosopagnosia. He can not see faces so he sees so much more about people. He sees the details. He has to. It's the only way that he can function in society. I like this new version of a medical show. It's like House 2.0. I love that show, too. I can't wait until Monday night at 10pm to see the next episode. Brilliant Minds is a brilliant show. I love Zachary Quinto 😍

desperate times, desperate measures

Tonight is turning out to be my fifth night of sleep deprivation due to a nasty upper respiratory virus running its course through my system. Thankfully, it's not Covid (which I've already had twice), but I'm only getting about three hours of sleep each night due to excessive post nasal drip & phlegm that wakes me up from coughing and bad nausea. Unfortunately, I used up the last of my sick time to call out on Sunday (with Monday as my regular day off) and had to go back to work on Tuesday. Between the exhaustion, coughing, and nausea, it was pure misery.

If I call out again, I will reach my work limit (only 5 absences allowed in a rolling six month period) and will be subject to dismissal (sadly, that's the state of employment for most 'essential workers' in the US these days), so I'm going to have to apply for a 3-day leave of absence (minimum I can request) in order to save my job. Meaning I'll be short three days pay towards my lodging next week.

As much as I hate to ask for help once again, I have to try to raise $300 to cover the difference.

Donations of any amount will be immensely appreciated, and thank you in advance for any reblogs of this post!

I worked a half-shift today so I could put in my leave request. It was a slow day, and fortunately, my supervisor allowed me to spend most of the time off my feet, catching up on computer based learning modules. It was very helpful, but I had a heck of a time not falling asleep sitting up!

Sending my love and thanks to my friends who donated 🥰, and to everyone who has reblogged this post! 😘💗 My progress so far:

$70/$300

I hate having to do this, but my back is against the wall. I have $59 to get me through to my next payday (February 16), and can only hope that will cover food & gas until then. In two more nights, I'll have to sleep in my car; temps are predicted to be in the 20's that night (Connecticut, USA).

I didn't want to ask again.💔I don't want to 'wear out my welcome'. Some of you have already given so much, and it hurts like hell to ask for more. Please do keep me in your prayers, at the least. And a donation of any sort would be appreciated beyond words to describe. Thank you.

I've been putting off an unpleasant task all day, but I've got to do it now.

I told myself I wouldn't do this, because I didn't want to be the one to have to ask again. But my resources are such that I can't pay the storage fees on the rental unit where I managed to save a portion of my belongings before I became homeless. Most of my clothes (warm weather and cold), several pieces of furniture, and family photo collections and my dearest mementos, all stored in the hope of me someday finding a place to settle in. I need to make a payment by the 23rd, or I may lose it all.

My hours at work were cut to the bone this week and next, and though I've managed to pick up a few hours on odd shifts, I had to miss a whole shift today due to...let's call it 'intestinal distress' (not a full-fledged stomach bug, but enough to keep me tethered to the bathroom). I have no sick time to cover the hours missed. I was planning to get an advance on my pay which might have helped me squeak by, but now a good chunk of potential pay is gone. And so I regretfully have to ask again, if anyone has the means to do so, I could realy use some help. I thank you in advance for any bit you can do. I'd appreciate a signal boost if that's your best way to help. And please do keep me in your prayers.

I can accept donations through my Ko-fi.

I feel know I've had many blessings along this difficult but very enlightening journey, and I remain hopeful, though tonight I admit I'm getting scared.

Are y’all ever in your room singing along with Taylor and imagining what you’d do or how you’d act if you were invited to sing on stage with her or is that just a weird thing that I do
