Two articles of clothes put out tonight, 2 deaths.

I will do my best to prolong that, but I only have 15 minutes.

I haven't found my scissors yet so, that probably will take more time than needed. It doesn't feel worth it at this point.

I could buy something right now, but I don't think that is right either as some financial errors occurred today so, I have to actually do my budget planner.

Some good things happened with that as well though, I won't go into detail.

Either my mom updated her passwords or she got rid of somethings too.

I am just going through all my accounts. My mom used to have me keep track of shit for her so. I don't consider this hacking because she literally asked me to before. Whoever did that stuff to me, I never asked for.

Anyway, I will destroy the paper after I check everything. As I do with everything.

Apparently, phone apps don't record log in information for a lot of things. So, if you use an App version of something, that might bypass the records.

I guess that might be a 3rd party I guess.

That isn't business. I love that hurdy gurdy shit.

Yea i keep a business and personal account. lol.

I try to maintain the difference but sometimes it gets confused so, I try to adjust it once I notice.

It is something a cyber security guy taught me.

This seems petty but, I feel like I will reactivate this account if she charges me for the bugs again. My Yumiko likes bugs and my mom kills all of them so she has no friends.

The thing is, I even tried to do business properly with the boy, but he wanted only to do what was easy:

Cain, according to the Bible (Genesis 4:3–5), offered God produce from the ground, because he was a farmer.

Specifically: fruits or crops (the text says “some of the fruits of the soil”)

It was not accepted by God, unlike Abel’s offering of the firstborn of his flock, which was accepted.

This passage doesn't really illustrate the difference here but, one was offered in good faith and the other was offered due to excess. and the one with excess disliked that the one who offered in good faith got more, even though he was already blessed with much. It was greed that led him to kill his brother.

Yea you can be frugal but there are consequences with that too.

Also I mean, like I said before with the cat and animals and what not. We never gave them processed food unless there was like nothing left.

Spirit is resisting this last death here. I will try to keep it at bay for as long as I can but, I still can't find my scissors.

Sure, I guess the offering I gave to the warriors would've only been appropriate for New Years.

Probably more snide any other time of the year.

yea, i guess unbirthday could mean a 'death' as well. In the story it just meant any other day.

There wasn't very much faith to begin with there. I felt deceived already.

Also with the mention of denominations was mentioned, I was already pissed.

They also denied me a place to sit at the counter.... though I did lie, I did have an ID with me, but I didn't like the lady.

They know my grandfather already.

I dreamt of some woman's knee being shred by a metal pipe. It went through her knee up her thigh

I guess I saw my mother's surgery. Or someone's surgery. I don't like when spirit shows me these things. I am very sensitive to medical things.

Maybe that is why I have a soft spot for my Djinn. He lies but, I know what happened.
