My life’s a balance of time at home with Scarlett, work, and then getting fucked by Nikolai in every position possible. The days start to bleed into each other like that, and never during that time am I found ripping my heart out, stressing over bills. It feels surreal. I manage to pay off everything I’ve been in arrears for. I also upgrade some house things like bed sheets and pillows (and having new pillows is a heaven you can’t put a price on). I buy some toys for Scarlett, and I find a button at the shops that I give to Roberta to sew into Rumple. He’s got two eyes now, and Scarlett acts like he’s a brand new Rumple. To me, his second eyeball represents a new beginning. She starts school in a couple weeks, and I can’t help but already stock the closet with crayons and colouring books. Every morning for breakfast I make her do a page in an activity book I found on clearance for 5-6 year olds. She traces a different letter each day, and she gets really good at it.
