So ... yeah.

[apocalypsos]

I wouldn't do this if I hadn't just spent the past hour or so crying or trying not to cry, but if anybody does want to toss a few bucks my way, here's my Paypal.

The priority is rent, then groceries, then dentist, then other bills. A new laptop is officially off my list of expenses. Again.

EDIT: Okay, it's morning, I'm awake, and I'm taking down the button now.

OTHER EDIT: Since people asked, and since I'm not exactly in a position to say no, I'm putting the button back up.

as a long time reader of your blog, I've donated - I hope that small bit will ease your mind... lord only knows I've been there...

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Lord, have I been there. Donation ahoy.

[killerweasel.livejournal.com]

Tossed some.

[sweill.livejournal.com]

Payday is a blessing to be shared.
:::hugs you:::

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

*hugs* We've all needed help at one point or another.

[fragilistikal.livejournal.com]

Sorry my contribution is so small but I hope you get the intent.

[ccarroll003.livejournal.com]

Keep it together. You'll make it through this.

[soundingsea.livejournal.com]

I've so totally been there. *hugs*

[sophie-448.livejournal.com]

Sorry it's not much, but I hope it helps. *hugs*

[tinyplasticmeat.livejournal.com]

Sent as much as I could...I know where you're at, I've been there myself, and it's not fun. I hope it helps.

[teenygozer.livejournal.com]

It's not much at all -- I'd send more but I've been outa work for over a year now! I definitely feel your pain, believe me.

[supernatrlmommy.livejournal.com]

I sent a bit your way. As others said - it's not much. But we've all been there. *hugs* Chin up, it will get better.

[oaktree89.livejournal.com]

I'm really sorry. I wish I could. :(

[st-aurafina.livejournal.com]

Thanks for putting up the button - I'm glad that I can do something to help out.

[denorios.livejournal.com]

I know it probably feels awful to be asking, but I'm glad you did, because you know we all love you and want to help, if we can.

*hugs*

This too shall pass... as a long time reader of your blog I threw what i cuold your way, only sorry it couldn't be more. Hope things start to improve soon

[escritoireazul.livejournal.com]

I donated the little bit in my account right now. I'm really sorry it's not more, and that you're having to deal with this mess.

[ainbthen.livejournal.com]

I know you took the button down, but I've been thinking for a long time that I wish I could help you somehow, so I'm hoping you'll make it available again. I've had a lot of really good people help me in my life, and I'd like to pay it forward to someone else in need.

So please, reconsider taking the button down?

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I couldn't commit to sending anything until I knew that my own paycheck was going to be deposited, which happened today. If you could maybe even just PM where I should send money, that would be great.

[etoilepb.livejournal.com]

You took the button down before I got up this morning, but: I've been to the point where when a kindly woman in line in front of me bought me breakfast because I only had $1, I broke down and cried while hugging her. Three years later, I wake up every day amazed that I can just plain buy a latte and a bagel, if I want to. It will get better, I promise!

[catchmyfancy.livejournal.com]

hurrah, you put the button back up!

This is good - the time difference means stuff has usually Already Happened by the time I read it.

Please to have some Australian dollars - I send you good wishes and sunshine (37 degrees celsius today, yowza!) along with them, and also the message everyone else seems to have sent: it will get better.

and the implied one: you are not alone in this.
