They think that will reflect badly on them. As if other people's opinion wil cut them a check!


^walmart be having some good fashions sometimes.

Ya never know when you might roll up on a hidden gem (a cute top, some comfortable pants or whatnot). I got my 4th of July top from there.

Unfortunately most people I know who shop there don’t admit they shop there lol.

Ain’t no shame in the game here

I go to Walmart for my tonalin cla, my hylauronic acid serum, my collagen tablets, nail polish remover, etc. All cheap and work well.

I'm grateful AF to be moving away from the creepy bitch. Packing up early tomorrow morning and gonna get TF out. Gonna clean and photograph my room and bail before they get up. As long as my room is in clean and orderly shape, I see no need for good-byes. I'll just leave a note saying thank you and sorry but I had to leave to be somewhere early. Then I am freeeeeee!!!!

Checking out a place today. Hopefully I will get it.

Grateful for ovulation boobies, they swell up & look great, I always make $$ at work because of this, & I can perfectly time my period because of it :P Although I do wonder how they'll feel after my boob job

I am so grateful that my club's staff is genuinely kind. I've been going through a lot and while I've been trying to not make it obvious, it shows. They've respected my decision to not want to talk about it while still being supportive best they can. I have never worked at a strip club with an environment like this, I feel so blessed

I am grateful for my new apartment. It's a big deal to me be because it's the 1st place I have got in this country alone without the help of my ex husband. I have been so stressed the last month trying to find somewhere and moving was a headache. I'm grateful to just be here with my cat. I moved a hour out of the city where I know nobody. I plan to rebuild from here.

Thank you. It sucks to be in this situation, but you know what's worse? Paying $850 a month to live w a bunch of disordered assholes.

Now I live for free in peace and safety. The folks here make you feel safe and no drama is tolerated. And I can now save up for my own home and live alone/with kiddo again.

Grateful I have my car. I am watching a cool thunderstorm and lightning show rn.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Luckily I followed the Grateful Dead around in the 90s so car life is nothing I can't handle lol

Grateful the mechanic waived $140 in fees while inspecting my car and offeried a discount. I told him my situation because I had to explain why I couldn't keep my car there overnight and he is helping me out a lot because he was once in my situation. I hope he isn't going to try and pull some crap like ask me out, like he is trying to pull some nice-guy manipulation BS.

My mechanic charges $99 to diagnose but will apply it to the cost of service if you decide to get it done at his shop so basically it's no charge unless you take it elsewhere.

He could genuienly wants to help because he's been in your situation. You'll be able to read him.

I sure as hell wouldn't suck dick for $140. Knee pads ain't cheap!

Enjoy your new place @chanzep!

I am grateful to be getting my car fixed today. Hope they don't charge too much.
Also grateful to be healthy.

For the fact that I wasnt able to work the last 2 days due to car issues but it is okay because it was slow AF. Hopefully now it'll pick up.

Glad I am missing nothing in terms of rentals. There's nothing good out there right now. Hopefully after I work and get up enough for a room +deposit a room will manifest and I will be out of this mess come November.

For finally moving and getting away from my shitty neighbors. I feel so much peaceful here. I have a view of the sunset-which is my favorite time of day! I was just soaking up the beautiful sunset and laying in bed. It was problems one of the most amazing days I’ve had. Life is good-not always easy-but it’s a lot better than I think. It’s so easy to focus on what’s going wrong instead of what’s going right.

Oh my gosh, how wonderful! I'm so happy for you! Peace is absolutely crucial.

I love what you said about trying to focus on what's going right. I needed to hear that.

I'm still living next to my loud neighbor but the end is in sight. I will be moving out in mid November.

I've been smiling like a giddy schoolgirl in my fancy hotel. Hahahaha I'm enjoying myself. I had to go up 2 floors of elevators, rooftop bar, starbucks, small market, and fitness center, in room dining, one floor has books to read, a lobby bar, etc (kinda got lost), even have a pool locker room, etc to get to the actual elevators. It's super nice! I'm content I'm crossing this hotel off my list as finally staying!

Super pampered!

I was all set to take the rest of the year off when my current work assignment ends, but I let my recruiters submit me for a couple jobs in the city I want to travel to next. I had a phone interview with one of them on Thursday and it went surprisingly awesome! The person who interviewed me said I'm the strongest candidate he's interviewed so far in the 6 weeks the position has been open. Which was a nice self esteem boost but also a huge green flag. So many healthcare jobs are desperate and will hire anyone. And also will tell you what you want to hear to get you on board. This guy was up front with me about some of the challenges of the position.

Bonus: He told me he would want me to start the week after Thanksgiving because it would be too overwhelming for me to come in while most of the team members are taking holiday leave. Another green flag. And when he told me the name of the health system they are affiliated with-I happened to read an article a few months ago about how that system has given all their employees raises throughout the pandemic to match the cost of living increase. Even if I'm just coming in as a temporary employee, being in a supportive environment like that has a huge impact on my mental health.

We're going to talk again on Monday and he said he anticipates sending an offer once we figure out scheduling logistics. Now I just have to stall the pre-employment drug screen for 2 more weeks, oy vey!

This may sound crazy but I’m thankful for these edibles.

Calmed my nerves and boosted my mood during a time I would have been full on neurotic, extremely pissy, etc.

I’m glad I don’t have to chase down unreliable suppliers or smoke weed as much as I used to anymore (smoking was killing my throat n lungs) and there are other options out there that can be procured by walking into a reputable cbd store

I am so grateful for edibles too. I found a place where I got 200 mg for $27. The place is next door to my storage space and is literally a hidden gem.

Grateful I am now in a routine where I am practicing good self care every day. This is a time for rebuilding.

I ran 4 days this past week and am going to continue doing my little workout by the beach. My buns feel nice and firm and I want to get myself into better shape.

Grateful my guy and I talked and are on good terms again. This feels good.

Well, there was a thread on a local forum..it was talking about police led checkpoints (I've been pulled in a few), nbd for me..

Some were complaining about rights being possibly violated.

Then this one lady posted, she talked how, a drugged driver ran into her 2 family members, hit them so hard, the car blew up!
They had to be cremated, now that same pos has drunkenly murdered more?

I couldn't imagine: 1. being in that situation, 2. grateful I drive straight, always.

Grateful I'm able to apply some of the things I learned in therapy into real life practice.

I struggle really bad with anxiety this past year. I've done the “you have panic attacks and you better get used to it.” countless times and it has not worked. Therapy taught me to accept exactly what I am experiencing, as I experience it. I just can't demand my feelings must change whenever I'm feeling anxious because my body and mind simply don’t work that way.
It's okay if I'm still anxious. It's so helpful to acknowledge that in the moment because if I tighten up, I feed panic.

That was such truly an aha moment!
