Grateful to be healthy, 100% vaccinated, my state and federal returns approved & deposited already. For the first time in a while, money is not a concern and I appreciate it.

^^Thanks money! I'm trying to get my 19 year old to schedule his shots. Once he is vaxxed I'll be feeling a lot better. Almost done writing my book and am launching it on amazon next month. Now I am looking for jobs in L.A. It has been a tough year, but we made it.

Grateful my kid's stimulus check came through today. I went to drop it off to him, along with a Krispy Kreme vaccination donut. He was stoked. We agreed for Mother's Day we'd get burgers from Carl's Jr. and ride aqua cycles out on the bay.
Also grateful that I've dropped a few lbs. I'm not fat but I was putting on weight from eating too much and not dancing. Um yeah not ok.
Also grateful for the fact that as of this moment, I don't have any major problems. My car works, I have a nice clean place to stay, boyfriend and I are good, kiddo is good, I have money, I'm fully vaxxed, book is almost done, and for the first time in a long while, I am not stressing about shit.

Been focusing positively on money lately, and in the past week, I found out that the plasma center increased their hours so I'll be able to donate after work and get more money weekly now, and I'll also be receiving a raise at the end of the month.

Having the ability to laugh at ridiculous situations. Just got a text from my dad that he is holding auditions for his Sugar Baby movie on the 11th and 12th and was looking forward to seeing me there. He even spent 15k on connections to reach out to Z-list celebs and Denise Richards politely declined. I have no idea how god placed me in this family LOL. He wants me to show up to his sugar babies house to audition. Obviously I'm not. HAHAHA you can't make this stupid shit up folks. I hope he burns through all the money he has offshore with his crazy behavior. Mom and dad wonder why I turned out this way....bahaha.
I probably need therapy more than I realize.

Went to Von's and picked up all these groceries I won through their Monopoly game...paid $5 for $30 worth of groceries. Then I went to Krispy Kreme and got my free coffee and vaccination donut. Took some of my winnings (tissues, a Marie Calendar entree, a bottle of ginger ale, some French bread, water, and the free doughnut) and dropped it off for kiddo. It always lifts my spirits to see him and I am excited for Mother's Day.
I also have been looking high and low for a berry color lip gloss. Found one at Dollar Tree. I remembered moneybags said they have cheap beauty products so I scored a packet of deep conditioner while I was there. I love the lip gloss! The exact color I was looking for, and it was just $1.

This last weekend was so hard and I didn't get ANY quiet time.
I had to go hide ( literally at the library and yoga place ) to get ANY.
Now the last two days have been so nice. :)
Working from home and other than doing a couple of errands it's just been strong Air Conditioning and strong wi-fi.

Also last Tuesday I went back to the casino that gives me free rooms every week.
They gave me 4 more in May haha.
I guess they really want my $7-$10 in keno lol.
Maybe something was quirky with them before.
This time I had wifi that was ok enough to work.
They also comped me $10 in food so a prime rib dinner was like $4 ( plus a really good tip to the waitress of course ).
I'm glad I finally navigated a successful solo day there because I tried it twice in April and and got depressed both tries ( it's on the affordable end not luxury ). I learned to embrace it haha.

Dogs. I swear some people have big boys like my dogs and I can't help myself. I could turn the appointment into dog cuddling if I was allowed to LOL. I get too enthusiastic haha. Ughh I need to work on not looking more excited for people's pets hahaha. Or when they say "Is it okay if I have a dog?" OH you don't know!!! lol. It was terrible seeing a happy black lab today . I was damn ready to puppy sit him....Oh this bitch was happy!

I’m really grateful I’m able to work. I still experience flare ups every once in a while, but I’m getting better. Honestly, I think my health issues are from stress, so I need to work on managing that. 3 months ago I was in so much pain and I thought I would need an MRI. I was broke, sick, and broken hearted. I’m getting better! It’s not happening as fast as I want, but slowly but surely!
I’m so thankful for everyone who has supported me through the pandemic. I couldn’t have done without out you guys.
I love SW’rs because they have that sex worker magic.

I'm grateful that bf didn't break his neck this morning. Walmart delivered groceries this morning and left them on the front porch. He was trying to bring in all the bags of groceries all at once. He tripped on the room fan cord and fell hard in the kitchen. He's ok, but he hurt his knee. Lately, he's been really over doing it. I tell him he needs to take it easier before he burns himself out. I'm not sure what's up with that.
Also grateful, Walmart delivered the wrong groceries to us. Bf noticed that it was a bunch of stuff we didn't order. I look forward to eating Chocolate Dinobites(I think that what they're called) and blueberries, strawberries, cubes of cantaloupe, shredded chicken and mushrooms. He called Walmart and they told him to keep it all. We had to re-order our grocery list, but they express delivered it for free.

For the nice lady who went out of her way to give me a ride to the gas station when I ran out of gas on the freeway today. She drove me back to my car and dropped me off. I was able to fill up my tank a little bit with my gas can and be on my way to the dispensary. Now I am home, high as f*** and eating ice cream and I'm very grateful to have the whole drama over with. I hate it when I get myself into situations like this. It's my own damn fault. But I'm glad to have weed because Lord knows I really need it right now LOL

I’m grateful for my second covid shot. Little under the weather, but nothing too bad. Considering people are still dying because of COVID, I’m so grateful for the vaccine!
My health is slowly improving. My bank account is looking better-now that I can actually work! I have all my needs provided for, and I’m so grateful for that.

Husband is getting a promotion. Comes with a raise and his guaranteed hours instead of this constantly being sent home early crap. If he just got his normal hours, we'd be fine money-wise. This will help a lot.

My relative that's in ICU is going to hopefully be taken off of the ventilator today. They've already been weaning her off of it. She has started trying to breath on her own now.

She was moved out of ICU to a regular room. Hopefully she will be able to go home soon and that her boyfriend will be her caregiver or will hire someone to take care of her.

That is good news Wendi! I hope she starts feeling better.
I took my youngest for a walk and we went to a little playground my hubby told me about when he took the oldest out once. It was actually nicer than I expected. I got some exercise, LO was entertained, and I listened to my favorite old school EDM while briskly walking. I felt SO much better than I did this morning. I think I will make this a daily thing with both of them once the oldest no longer has school. If we go early, we can avoid crowds, and it's so nice to just be outside and relaxed. I got to explore some of the town we live in too, and that was fun.
