Dash cam also make you drive responsively and drivers on the road will also watch how they drive when they see the dash cam, lol.
I thought about getting a dash cam, yes. If it will stop people from parking next to me, then I will install one.
I'm grateful for telemedicine.
I don't have health insurance, and need something for headaches.
I had my first ever video call with CVS yesterday.
Has anyone else ever used this service?
When asked if I knew how to use my camera for the call, I had a chuckle.
Welcome to my world. Ha ha!:laughing::photos:

I finished my closet cleaning/organization project. There's still a lot to be done in the apartment, but omg, the bedroom looks and feels SO much nicer! I can actually close the closet door and properly utilize the space outside of it for the first time in a year.
I also FINALLY got my request to go to flex shift approved at work (after a damn year of trying)! If I play the system right, I can start stacking all the 50-60 hour weeks I need instead of constantly being screwed over by the fact that they barely offer OT anymore. Plus, the flex shifts are always getting offered shift incentives of $5+/hr.

Extended my cleaning to the bathrooms today, and having all my makeup and accessories organized feels so nice. I wish the kitchen and living room weren't going to be the horrendous projects I know they will be...

Blood and pee test results finally came back. So far no protein in my pee and no signs of kidney, liver, or platelet damage that would indicate preeclampsia. My iron is low but at least everything else is good. I'm grateful.

Grateful to have the most kind, understanding vet who was able to help us today. My little boy passed peacefully in my arms in a calm setting, surrounded by love. 15 years old but always my baby.
I don't usually share pictures, but he's too special to not share. Just in case anyone wants to see what loyalty looks like, this little man was always there for me, unlike any human man I've known.

I was just thinking about you and checking in on the status of your pup and shed a tear. * Extra Hugs* He lived a long, loving, fun life with you. I hope you heal from him moving on even though it's hard. He lived a good life!

Aww - thank you. You're a dog mom, I knew you would understand.
It's one of those instances where I didn't save him, he saved me. I know I'll see him again...the transition is just never easy.
*Big hugs back*

I’m thankful for arriving at the hotel ahead of L so that I can sleep in my own bed by myself
I’m also thankful for these luxurious accommodations…..makes me realize what I’ve been missing and what I’m accomplishing in the future.

Grateful I managed to persuade T to extend the booking of our hotel room until Thursday afternoon (read: he pays :D)
Woo Hoo, I don't need to go back home on Sunday with T, no appointments until Friday and as long as I have my phone and Mac I can do most of my work.

Had a good time with my daughter today. Sometimes it feels conflicting to spend so much time with SD.

Thankful for my gratitude journal! I've been writing a little in it, and even just that has been so helpful. Forgot how much I miss doing things for ME and not with a reason to justify it.

This is silly but I'm grateful for my casino comps.
They gave me multiple nights ( free room and just had to pay resort fee ) which made my work trip earlier in the month really affordable. Then I had a single night this week for and my little staycation and it was affordable.
They do draw attention to my solo-ness on these trips.
They are always throwing buy one get one food things at me .
I'm here solo as you guys can see so I don't need two dinners ha.

Someone sent an unexpected big tip on OF.
miss.a.p1600
02-12-2022, 08:22 PM
I’m glad we got some vouchers for food.
A $120+ bill reduced to $20.
Plus a $22 tip
I let L pay for it.

Here for this!!
Was he mad about that?

Here for this!!
Was he mad about that?
he insisted on paying for something (of course the less expensive stuff) so I don’t completely disrespect him.
only thing is he didn’t calculate the appropriate tip. So I had to tell him we tip on the FULL amount not the discounted amount. And I ended up forking over more cash for the tip because he left the tips I told him to bring in his car
le sigh!

Grateful for zero anxiety. Sometimes my anxiety gets so bad I have Derealization. None of that, and it's such a blessing.

Isn't it nice when mental health shit " lets up " ?
I felt so depressed in December.
I feel 90% better and it's amazing.

I didn't keep on top of my training schedule the way I wanted to this past week, but today, I still managed to run for 35 minutes straight. Slowly, but I did 2.5 miles. I'm still getting in better shape again than I thought I was.

Yes! I'm so glad you're in the clear. I have seasonal depression and it's the worst. It's so nice when it clears up and makes you totally grateful for good days.

I'm so happy to hear this! Allowing yourself to grieve/cry is very good for your mental health and self-care is so important. I'm really glad you're ok!!!

Very, like uber, grateful to have made low weekly goal in just 10 hrs streamed. I went through a slump and was very concerned. Last week and this week have been good. Seems I'm in the clear.
Thank you Universe!!!

OF and NF. At least I can still earn $$ on Valentine's day. I remember v-day used to be my worst earning day if I worked it in the club or fbsm. The lonely heart guys in the club were usually single and broke/cheap and fbsm used to get a lot of timewasters looking for free phone sex and/or attention.
JenniferNorth
02-14-2022, 06:15 PM
Hubby brought me roses, a card, and candy for Valentine's. That was very sweet of him, knowing how I've been sad and all. I've got a good man, and I'm grateful for that.
