I hate making these posts. I always feel like a garbage human when I contemplate it. I just wish I had other options.

I’m the sole breadwinner in our house. My income is the only income. If I do not make income, there is no income to spend. And I’ve not had income in too long.

We’re a family of six, nearly a week away from the next guaranteed source of funds. My groceries are scarily low. If you like my work, if you think I’m worth helping a bit, please consider buying me a cup of coffee by clicking this link: http://ko-fi.com/ficlicious. It goes directly into my PayPal (ficlicious@gmail.com), which I will then use at the lovely family grocer in town that picks, packs, delivers, and charges via PayPal to get coffee (and other staples).

This is me, rattling the tip jar, because I am expected to be the problem solver, and I have exhausted every bit of creativity I have solving my family’s problems. I’d really like a cup of coffee.
