Solar Generator Acquired!
Hey everyone! I've been sorta out of contact lately bc a lot of stuff has been going on. A friend through my local SRA chapter has graciously allowed us to crash on his urban homestead - a quarter acre of land and assorted buildings (and his house) just north of downtown Reno. We're attempting to cost him as little as possible and to that end, he's allowed us (for a few days) to stay in his little 10-foot travel trailer before pitching our tent in a protected spot in his backyard, and he's letting us use his shower and water in exchange for working a little on the homestead and keeping an eye on his kids when he has to run quickie errands. He has the trailer hooked up to a Jackery Explorer 500 and a little off-brand 100w portable solar panel.
He has expressed a desire to upgrade to a Jackery Explorer 1000 v2, because he wants to install a little water heater in the trailer, and the 500 can't quite keep up with it. I mentioned that I have been wanting something similar to his 500 so we could have power even in the tent without costing him money, and also anywhere else we go in the future (and when we're housed, for keeping in the car for emergencies and such). He told me that the Jackery solar panels are good but overpriced and you can find good clones, but the power stations are really good.
Yesterday, I got an email that Jackery was having a pretty major sale for Mother's Day and bemoaned the fact that I have zero money rn. He got excited and then said he couldn't justify buying the 1000 even though it's on sale for like $450. I said the 500 is on sale for $300 rn so if he'd be willing to wait until the end of the month, I would buy the 500 from him and said sure, $200 good? And I said yes. He said we can work it off or pay him. It may be some combo of the two but either way, I have a solar generator!
So now I am the proud owner of a Jackery Explorer 500!
Now I need a solar panel. He'll let us use the one he has now but it's his and I'd like my own, obviously! I found one on Amazon that's perfect. It's only a little over a hundred, but it goes on sale regularly!
I think we'll be able to afford this come payday, but that's 3 weeks away. If anyone feels like donating towards a semi-normal lifestyle for us while we sort this all out (of course, y'all have helped a ton already and I super appreciate it. So fkn much. Soooo fkn much!) the panel is on our wishlist, and I can accept a few bucks here and there via Cashapp, PayPal, and Chime. All of my tags on those apps are $NovasPrime.
But check it out! Solar energy!
*sigh* Having problems getting a DoorDash shift to start. NEED a storage unit and potentially a uhaul by Tuesday. I wanted to do it by the 15th and I MAY be able to pull that off.
I've reserved the storage unit, it's $71 to move in and $71 a month. Insurance is required.
Idk what Uhaul will cost. Lemme check.
$28 plus a deposit. Iirc it's $50. Possibly $100.
Plus 99 cents a mile that comes out of the deposit.
And we'll need to do a dump run. $15.
That's $200 or so I need in... Roughly two days, maybe a week. *sigh*
Idk that I've really discussed what's been going on in my life recently. Tldr is I'm going low to no contact with my family and the storage shed I had on their property has been emptied and disassembled, and my stuff is in their driveway.
I can possibly get the shed to my house tonight - I'm not sure if the pieces will fit in my car, and I am unsure of my ability to strap it all to the roof. It's not a very good shed but it would do for a week or so.
But if anyone wants to donate to what I'm calling the, "Nova and Raven's Midlife Crisis" fund, I have a Ko-Fi, a PayPal.me, and my PayPal, Cashapp, and ChimeTag are all $NovasPrime.
I don't have Venmo. I have Zelle but it's under my phone number, I think? Or it's through my bank. Idk how it works, I'm old. Lol.
I'll do a full write-up soon. I'm working on some stuff for my Ko-Fi store that I'll have for pay-what-you-can, cuz I'd really prefer to earn money if I can.
Cat-Thulu takes commissions! Don't forget that!
You don't always realize how poor you actually are until you make an Amazon Wishlist and almost everything on it is under $5.
Hey yall, if yall could watch through, like and/or comment (even emojis and emotes are good!) on my YouTube videos and Shorts, it would mean a lot to @catsaredragons.
so I just got back home from visiting my dad for nearly two weeks, and I donno how to feel, I loved visiting him and his gf and getting to see his gf's daughter (also visiting them) again, it's the second time I've gone and while last time my ma was doing sk much worse mentally again so it was a sort of escape from having to unwillingly play therapist again atleast she still had a job in that moment and while yeah we we're worried about bills atleast it wasn't that bad but this time she had another breakdown right after she got her last paycheck (which was nearly two months worth) (the breakdown wasn't related to her losing her job) and instead of trying to save as much as possible she drank, a lot, like around 100£ a week for like 2 or 3 weeks, and sure I bought stuff I could have not gotten (band and movie T's but only cause the way she acted in the beginning I didn't realise she was drinking THAT much again) and yeah, when I left for my dads she was emotionally better so I left on a good note but FUCK was I not prepared to come back, well I thought I was fine but the second I walked through the door and saw the pile of month old dishes and our cat still looking depressed I just felt like I was crashing down, I started crying realising I'm back to my reality, knowing we're just on the edge of homelessness or having our gass/electric turned off and how together we only have like 13£ for the rest of the month and electricity and gas are about to run out and need to be topped up again, I'm just glad my ma saw me in the moment I'd stopped crying cause I know she woulda broken down cause if I show even a bit of worry/sadness anything around her she breaks. It's all just too much my face is covered in tears, I'm in my room for nearly 2 hours now and I haven't had the energy to change or do anything and just looking at the fuckin trash heap that is my room isn't helping. I just wanna scream and make it all go away, why the fuck won't it just go away
new credit card go brrrt
