Fucking Fashion Nova neglected to tell me that their carrier won't deliver to PO boxes, so they delivered to my old address where Homely Bitch lives. I was so mad! I drove up to Homely Bitch's house and retrieved my package. Thankfully it was outside on the porch. All their cars were gone and I didn't see or deal with them. So the best case scenario played out, and my new cozy track suit is really cute. And I got it for $26.

For my new adidas sneakers, which I needed badly since my Vans had a hole in the bottom, for the $100 30 min focus group I got for tomorrow morning. And the extra $172 I got from Instacart for prop 22 guaranteed earnings. Waiting for Shipt to pay me for GE as well .

Been saving and saving. By month's end I should have enough for rent and deposit. I might stay homeless a little longer to build a nest egg for emergency rent , furniture, home goods, etc. Think I'll be looking to move in by February.

Grateful to find my sponges. Girl I was walking around with two sponges crammed in me and a tampon. I had no idea. I was wondering why it felt weird! These edibles had me forget bahaha. TMI!!

I'm grateful that my old apartment balance shows zero on RentCafe. I was told I had to pay December's rent, as I moved out one month before my lease ended. I wonder if they rented it out right away. I left it in immaculate condition so probably so.

I'm not going to count my chickens for another couple of months.

Grateful I had the foresight and presence of mind to install drive cams in my cars. Had a couple teenage girls cut me off to make a right turn… I probably could’ve reacted in time to them braking, except they had no stop lamps. Their car is completely fucked up… I have a one ton diesel with a real sturdy brush guard/push bar on it, and all it did was transfer some paint from their car onto it. Once they saw it wasn’t some redneck dude driving that, those kids started to feel a bit emboldened, and even moreso after the parents of the one driving showed up. They shut up after they and the police saw the video.

Target. They shipped my stuff in 3 days which is way faster than anywhere else, even Amazon. I have 9 weeks until the new baby is here if I get induced at 38 weeks again. I like that I can order up a bunch of stuff on Target and it arrives within a few days.

My coolant warning light came back on. I took it back to Jiffy Lube and it turned out to be a non-issue. My car just needed a little more coolant. Glad it wasn't an expensive problem.

For edibles.

Well, you're lucky if that's it! Correct me if I'm wrong, but coolant usage may also indicate something much worse.. Hope for the best...

You just taught me new word I thought scalded is another word for whole milk, lol. Yes, it's scalded whole milk brought to boil and set aside. It very easy. Follow Ina recipes.

My blood pressure was 110/70 at today's doctor's appointment. I'm so relieved to see that it's still normal. Around this time last pregnancy it had climbed up to 160/90 at every appointment from 24 weeks and on.

Grateful I got to see Kiddo today. And for the amazing cauliflower browned butter soup and cheese and jalapeno tamale I ate today at Hoe Foods.

The staff at Starbucks are amazing. Every morning when I roll in from safe parking to use their bathroom, by the time I'm done my coffee and breakfast are at my table. They give me table service. They rock!

I'm so grateful for the podcasts and youtube channels that get me through my shift and my day in general. I'm so busy these days that I don't have much time to myself or time to read, so I just listen to my stories all day. And hearing another voice makes me feel a little less alone while I'm online.

For the brand new blanket safe parking gave me. It's so soft and this beautiful charcoal color.

I have 2 new blankets now that I am excited to use in my new home. They symbolize acts of kindness and that's the kind of energy I want around me.

Grateful I got a free pastry from Panera this morning. Went there for a spinach and bacon souffles and was surprised I'm qualified for free pastry so I got a blueberry scone.
I love their blueberry scones. I sure can get a box of mini scones at publix for the same price of one but they aren't as good as panera.

Grateful for things about my husband: he's a really good tipper (thank god, I can't stand going out to eat/drink with people who tip like shit); he's been paying for every time we go out lately now that he's making better money; and he's not a "food-sharer," just like me. Like, we might share a few bites of our own food, but he's totally about us getting our own portions of things. We'll usually even get our own medium pizzas when we do pizza. I hate sharing food, and this honestly makes me so happy in our marriage any time food comes up. Every friend and family member I have is a food-sharer, and I hate getting food with them. I never end up getting what I want because I have weird taste and have to compromise. Anyway, just some little things making me happy this weekend.

I got the results back from my 1 hour glucose test and I passed!! No gestational diabetes this time!! I'm so beyond relieved about this. I think it's because I've been so nauseous off and on throughout this pregnancy that I only gained 15lbs total. I'm happy that now I get to enjoy Christmas cookies instead of the restrictive diet.

Got out for some CFA and edible refill.

Much needed stress reliever.

I am also glad for the career options I have. I am writing a book and about to set up some interviews with some successful women. Thanks to internet, social media, and pandemic - I can network online.

Leveling up into 2022!

Some of you have such bigger gratitude things than this one ha but I'm putting mine !
I went to the butcher counter at the store today and the pre-made fajitas looked so good.
I got a pound and they turned out DELICIOUS . I'm kind of thrilled I can get something good to feed us both for about $8 that requires NO prep or cutting ( just pop in hot oil in a pan ).

I'm all checked in at my hotel room. In bed watching TV. Going to color my hair soon. Omg it's so nice to have a room. Two nights for $165. I can't wait to take a long ass bath. I'm glad I did this bc Xmas in my car is too depressing. I have edibles, bath salts, bath sprinkles, and bath n body works lotion. Gonna pamper myself. I worked hard today. Made over $300 delivering groceries today and I'm still waiting on tips Can't wait for kiddo to come by tomorrow for Sparkling Apple Cider, charcuterie and dip and presents.
