Grateful I have money for food. At one point during the pandemic, I had only $2 to take to Dollar Tree and stretch that into 2-3 meals. I'd buy diet Pepsi, a box of soft pretzels and a bag of mini Snickers.

Then Shipt started paying us daily rather than weekly and that was a Godsend.

Grateful I can still go out and make fast cash.

Same. Just got back from a whole foods type store-not quite as expensive, but not cheap either. I spent close to $400! I’ll have a month or two worth of health food and just have to buy produce and meats weekly at Aldi’s.

I also went to the food pantry in 2020 when we all lost our jobs overnight. I’ll have to donate some food and clothing back. I don’t mind donating high end food and clothing as long as someone else will appreciate it.

I got a really nice new computer mouse for only $10. It's got a nice ergonomic design. It's so nice having one again. I can't stand the touchpads on laptops unless I'm actually using it IN my lap.

That's so awesome!
I bought my mouse at the dollar store several years ago.
It's outlasted all of the others that I paid way more for.
Go figure.

Jimbo's (upscale grocery store like Whole Foods) spoiled me with their chocolate chip cookie samples. They are the most delicious things I ever ate. And they keep putting out cheese samples, too. I'm gonna get so fat bc I can't resist these samples lol!

Grateful for being in a position able to pay my laser lady her rather hefty check without having to make other significant sacrifices.
Even though I have a good deal with her after years of cooperation so to speak, she apologized several times for the increase in her prices. I politely told her I know a little about making a living out of a small business. I think she appreciated it.

I'm grateful that I had the BEST car wash today!
We've had intense wind storms (70 mph), and my poor car was covered in sand.
As much as I hated leaving my house (heat and social anxiety), my car needed to be washed.
My crush was working there today, and I ran into him as we were both going through the door.
I was surprised when the manager couldn't recommend a car cover when I asked him for advice.
Oh well. I'll just use my tarp for now.
Grateful that I had rewards at Starbucks for a bakery item (I got a brownie).
Grateful that I work from home, because gas just went up to $7 per gallon. Yikes.
I found this yummy drink recipe on Instagram. The barista made it perfectly!
*If anyone wants to know how to order it, I'll be happy to put the recipe here.57231

My husband just accepted a job offer for a really good job. It's not a ton of money starting out, since he has no experience, but it's an excellent company, and I'm sure he can work his way up in salary quickly there. I've never heard anyone who works/worked there complain about the place.

I think out of ego we think we “ can’t “ use services too but things like food pantries are there to help if anyone needs them !
You can always go back at a different time in life and donate back too.

I've been to the food pantry many times when things were tough.
I loved that I was always treated with respect and kindness.
One of the pantries I went to even had what they called a 'Boutique'.
It was a room filled with clothes and accessories.
We each got to pick 5 things per day.
I found lots of designer clothes with the tags still on.
Score. This was one of the blazers. Bob Mackie 57234

Holy crikey! I have been trying to manifest $ for my son's tires. Today I did a podcast interview and the person interviewing me purposefully overpaid me because she was touched by my story and wanted to lend her support. It is just enough to buy four new tires. Thank you, Universe!

I'm grateful that I'm officially not an escort!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!! My mom talked to my dad in depth about needing my tuition paid because I'm so busy with school and I don't have the time anymore to work. Because of my savings I saved up for school I am cushioned for the 17 months left I have of this program to not work at all. I literally was close to crying on the phone. My label now is "student" only. Not sex worker. Thank GOD. I can't believe he even agreed to this because he's a narcissist but my mom realized I wasn't going to be finishing the program if I was working and tried to ask him.

They thought I was working at a strip club. LOLLLLL no! I was risking everything working as a ho! Like that charge would've cost me the program.

My settlement check just arrived!
It was from a class action lawsuit against Hearst Publications.
Woohoo!
And I just got an email from the person who sold me that defective arctic air unit.
He's refunded my money, and I don't have to return the unit.

I did a private party that was so easy. I made over 1K and didn’t do hardly anything.

I’m watching the secret-my favorite movie. I am having a sugar free soda and some rice cakes.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my therapist. I always feel a lot better after talking to her.

I’m just focusing on staying positive.

I tried those Color Street press-on polish strips last week. I thought they would be weird and difficult, which is why I put them off for so long after receiving some for Christmas, but they're actually really legit! And they work really well on shorter nails that are hard to get polish onto.

I’m grateful for my spiritual badass tribe and my badass sex worker tribe. I’m grateful to have badass people in my life.

It’s not easy be different. Its hard to deal with the patriarchy, people judging me for living a different an alternative lifestyle and alternative beliefs, and haters in general. I’d rather have my life as hard as it is than be like everyone else.

I would never ask for this life if I knew how hard it would be, but I’m grateful for my tribe and higher power that are with in my journey.

Grateful to have my own apartment!

Also grateful that I FINALLY have my own stripper pole at home! I've wanted one for YEARS, but for various reasons, couldn't have one -- and it's the best investment ever! Such a fun way to work out, my body is getting super toned. Literally the first thing I did when I got out of bed today, was climb it and do a few spins. lol

First therapy appointment went well. I really like my therapist. We don't know yet what my insurance will cover, but crossing fingers that it will be most, if not all, of it. God, that would be so nice.

Walked around the mall afterward and got 2 cool nail polishes from Hot Topic for $4, because they were on clearance. But I tried one last night, and it's pretty good!

Super grateful that the mechanic near me that I went to didn't try to hustle me like I'd feared he might. I had to go with someone different that who I wanted to go to originally bc of the distance but the shop & the workers have been nothing but nice & informative. They even looked for a cheaper part for me as I requested and found one thankfully. It's a bit more than I wanted to spend but I'm just happy to have my car back in a few hours.

I must have manifested this vegan restaurant because I follow it on social media cause the pics looks so yummy. I never went since their location was way too far so I settled on watching their food porn pics every day lol. They are opening their new location literally a less then 10 minute bike ride from me. Just rode by and their sign is up and they're painting the inside. There is only one other vegan place in my area which is more like a fast food place but not too great. So excited lol

I am grateful for those days of triumph in life. I think I reached 3-4 hours of sleep total these past 3 days because of school. I was terrified of my Anatomy/Physiology midterm. Everyone was worried about this class because if we didn't pass the midterm she said we would have to repeat the class. 2 class fail/repeats out of all the classes we have to do and you get kicked out of the program while still owing 40-ish thousand in tuition since it's a private school. I got the highest grade in the class 93% wahoo!!! So grateful most of us passed!! I drove home singing loudly to the radio with a smile on my face!

Now time to get some much needed sleep before I wake up at 5am to practice at school for my surgical lab midterm.

I hate stalkers too, especially since I'm home most of the time.
Last night I 'purposely' went to get my mail and empty the trash after midnight.
Nobody was around.
As SOON as I was walking back to my unit, stalker opened her door and walked out.
She never goes anywhere. She just looks, walks a few feet, then goes back in her apt.
The woman across from her does the same thing whenever I go out during the day.
It's mind boggling.

Anyway, I'm grateful for my work ethic.
I sat on cam for hours upon hours today until I FINALLY made my goal.
