I was thumbing through Etsy at the salon yesterday and I came across this shop. It's positive themed shirts and sweatshirts. For some reason it made me think of Sha here, because she always seems so positive. I had to share it with you guys: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CheeryVibes
Garteful for vegan pizza, my kids being down in bed, and a nice candle to mask whatever crap the neighbors were cooking lol

I'm finally feeling a bit better and so is baby. My oldest kid's school sent me an email today that they're going to be putting her in freshman high school level English in the fall. She's only 11. I'm proud of her.

Girl, I swear to God...when I saw the shirts and sweaters I got goosebumps. I've been having a tough day and came here to show some gratitude and be around good vibes. You totally gave a huge boost of positive energy. Thanks!
And vegan pizza sounds sooooo good! I bet even the kiddos liked it :)

I'm really grateful for the indoor bikes at Fitness Connection. The membership is super cheap, but their bikes are about $3.5k and you can train by heart rate or power. Those bikes help me train smart. Such a good deal!!!

^ Aw!! I'm glad I was able to make your day better! We all need positive energy boosts sometimes. <3
It was Diaya brand-my local Walmart is finally getting vegan options. On nights when I don't want to cook, it's nice!

^^^thats awesome to have a fixed car. I’ve been driving around with my pads squeaking-embarrassing.
I’m thankful to be a stripper again. The camming thing helped me out, but God I’m so happy to be vaccinated and back at work. It feels like a happy ending.

Grateful for being able to sleep in a little this morning, briefly cleaning up my house before my cam shift, getting my car repaired yesterday, being able to work during the day, my cat, and my kids.

Love the sleep and car repaired.
I don't know why getting your car maintance or simply making an appointment to get service feels so overwhelmingly, exhaustingly draining.

Grateful I slept in today and ordered car parts. I found exactly what I needed and wound up finding a good deal.
Grateful I live near a shopping center in walking distance.
I have weed gummies
Grateful my club permanently closed because I wasn't planning on going back anyway and I can still collect PUA. My car isn't able to drive rn so even though I can't do my grocery delivery gig atm at least I am not stressing about money.

This sounds very interesting..might try this because I refuse to take the medication my doc prescribed, would rather go the natural route for my anxiety

I'm glad you love your new air fryer as many do. I bought one, 8 qt but didn't work for me. It took more time for me to cook things and my options were limited to what I can use it with.
I returned mine to best buy.

A rare, unexpected act of kindness from BD. While I was cooking dinner, I accidentally cut my finger. I was trying to hide it and grabbed a paper towel, wrapped it around my finger and kept cooking. He went to the hallway closet, brought me Band-Aids, and Neosporin, cleaned the cut for me, and put Band-Aids on it. He finished cooking and washed the dishes too. This is probably the nicest thing he has done for me without being an asshole in 16 months.

I am grateful for marijuana and for the fact that it's legal. I tried thc salted crunchy corn for the first time today! It was good and I love it!
For my beach walk and workout session. It makes me feel all endorphined out and sexy.
I love where I live and I appreciate it.
That corn was so good! I know I'll buy more in the future.Thank God for mmj delivery and for the fact that they'll meet me at the 7-11 so I don't have to deal with them with my housemates around. And I can buy munchies from the store too!

It takes a couple weeks to actually notice a difference, but my anxiety and derealization episodes are almost gone. It's amazing!!! Get it from a trusted source, read the reviews, and find out the right dose for your needs.

The AC. It is going to be humid as all hell today. I'm glad we have a new AC and we brought my mom one last year. Everyone deserves to stay cool in this nasty weather.
Both my dogs are snuggling next to me. This is the best ever! I love my pets and they mean so much to me.

me too! Sadly D9 is still illegal here in this uppity extra conservative state. But thank heavens D8 is legal ….. for now.
if it weren’t for thc, I’d be a neurotic mess 80% of the time.
My dumbass thought I’d ordered a refill but I didn’t and I won’t get my thc till Wednesday.
until then I’m clear eyed n hope nothing sends me into neurosis land lol.

Grateful for Starbucks and all the groceries I bought at Trader Hoe's today.
LoveyDovey
06-27-2021, 02:16 PM
^^^ lol I always call it "Trader Hoes" too!
Grateful to I have found a new route on my walk / run today! I went up to a neighborhood and took a path down to the beach, where I run for about 30 minutes. Then I went back up the hill to the grocery store and then home. All in all I got about 3 hours of cardio and! Then I came home and did some weights. Plus it's such a nice day outside, and with us being so close to the beach it wasn't too hot outside. Now I'm taking a shower and done some laundry I'm going to do my red light mask. It's been such a productive Sunday! Which is great because yesterday I was so lazy.

Today is beautiful here too. We needed after so much rain and cloudy days. I pray the good weather stays for at least a few days to make it easier for all the first responders to search for and rescue people in Miami.

Sleeping with my granddaughter two nights in a row. She literally is good for my health. I trained hard Fri morning and Sat morning my resting heart rate was 1 beat lower when it should have been a beat or two higher. Then I trained hard Sat and this morning my resting heart rate was yet another beat lower when that training session should have raised it significantly.
Is it the oxytocin? She's such a cuddle bug. She literally healed my heart!!!

Finished shaving my big dog, bathing, and clipping his nails after 2 hours. I put off grooming him for a month and his nails were out of control because he's stubborn. That double coat he has always makes it tiring so I put a movie on.

^so true. And sad for the people who have to live through an accident like that or not even make it out alive.
Im happy to be alive and doing well.
Im keeping my most prized friendships and leaving the ones that don’t serve me.
Im also thankful L is doing what he can to be a good man. He told his friends he was enamored with me and going to propose and I know I ranted about him not being rich with money but I am confident that we are abundant now and will continue to grow financially
