I got pulled over for speeding today and didn't get a ticket. That's the first time I've ever NOT gotten a ticket for speeding.
It's only in my home state that I ever get dinged for speeding. I've never been pulled over in the state I currently reside in (well, I've gotten warnings about dead headlights, but not speeding). I can be going 20 over and still have 90% of traffic, including cops, whizzing past me. I always forget that here, they're not so forgiving.

Its crazy how people forgot about UFO’s are now being recognized as legit by the government.
My spiritual coach said they are more advanced than us because they probably could attack us, but they haven’t . He said in order for society to evolve to the point of space travel you would have to get rid of war, so they probably don’t have war like us and think we are very primitive since we still use violence.
Agreed, I think they're laughing at us for still being in our carbon phase. they probably think we're primitive AF.

OMG, Where did you get those glasses???
I NEED a pr!
TY.
I'm so grateful the guy upstairs let me in, after this asshole locked me out, (@ 4am):O when I went to throw out some garbage (including theirbathroom garbage) :yuck:
Also grateful I was able to get my hair uncaught from a moving fan:yikes:
I told you about them a while ago, but you said they are too dark for the inside.
I bought them on wish.com
I'm grateful that I had the absolute BEST delivery couple that I've ever had!
I got my groceries delivered tonite.
This couple was so quiet and quick that I didn't even hear them. That's a miracle for me, because I have super sonic hearing and am always hyper aware when I know someone will be coming to my door.
The universe really threw me a bone, especially after the last delivery driver fiasco.
I passed the baton by tipping them extra to show my appreciation.
God, I LOVE when people are great at their job.

Grateful for: Electric Bug Zappers
I'm not the type of person to release a spider back out into the outdoor world. I did a quick loud scream this morning and fiercely killed that spider. Thank goodness. I kinda didn't even zap it I squished it with the zapper in a panic bahahaha.

Feeling sad and pms-ed out, so I took the day off and parked under a tree by the bay. It's so nice out and there's a cool breeze. I had a hard time sleeping last night so I just took a nap . The driver's seat is surprisingly comfortable to nap and meditate in.

My little baby got a dental cleaning yesterday and was whining and crying terribly when I picked him up. It was so sweet how he calmed down and slept once he was home and all tucked in on the couch. Warm fuzzy feeling and all.

My old roommate’s coming back from Ukraine. His injuries are enough to keep them from putting him back into the fight. I hate it for him, because I know it was everything he ever wanted and he doesn’t want to quit now. But he did his part.

I had such a fun day playing the role of a protestor downtown. It was an extra role for a YouTube ad and it was fun. I ran into a guy from my acting class and it was nice to see him again. We had to walk in a circle and chant with signs and some random people decided to join in to support us lol! And then some fuckboi who was also an extra slipped me his business card. Yeah no not now no. I'm retiring from dating until further notice.

8 hours of drunk people next door at my hotel. I literally paid extra to hear their entire party all day long with the shouting, slamming of the door, etc. They FINALLY went home. I hope to return the noise damage they did to me ALL DAY. Sounded like a fraternity party.

FREEDOMMMMMMM rings!!!!! My second jury summons for the year is completed after only calling once. They even said I won't be called again in 12 months. *EYEROLL* YEAHHHH right. What doesn't make sense is how they said on the paperwork I need to call in all 5 days of the week but this time it was just 1 day I called in and they said I completed my requirement.
I'm requesting a proof of certificate today to ensure if they say I didn't show up or failed to call, it's on their ass!

Grateful for this gift from my mom. I always wanted to try Rituals products but I hate going at the mall, only to smell them and I was afraid to order and then not like it, because they aren't that cheap. Soooo, my mom gifted this miniature set and WOW. I am hooked. At least this Karma set it smells like lotus flower and white tea, it sent me right on a vacation, I could smell Greece, lol.
I like that the smell actually sticks to the skin, I applied the body cream 4 hours ago and my arm still smells. The oil also has a long lasting smell and a discreet shimmer.
Definitely gonna buy the full size versions. They also have body and hair mist and room fragrance and gonna buy those too. Can't wait to try other versions, I'll buy miniature sets and see what they are about.

Ladiessssss...........*sigh* If you like those commercials where the carpet cleaner is super clean on one side and dirty on the other to show how good of a job it does, look no further than a pressure washer!! Omg, I've found the ultimate cleaning porn machine. Here's an example of me cleaning the cement this morning:

Grateful I bought a bunch of weed before I was quarantined.
Also, kinda glad I get to be quarantined this weekend while my husband is home. He just delivers Chick fil a and chocolate to my bedroom door, and then I get to sit in here and doze off and on while watching trashy romance anime. I can spend other weekends with him, but it's really nice to have a weekend like this. Quarantine really was the Introvert Dream for a couple years, minus the fact that it was under the premise of a health crisis... I'm milking my last one lol

I was finally able to get an audio recording of BD being verbally abusive. He destroyed my other phone with all the recordings saved. This time I sent it to multiple family members and friends. Now if only I can figure out how to upload it to YouTube or something like that, even better. The file was too large to upload to Facebook and it wouldn't upload to my IG. I want the whole world to know that this "innocent looking" white man is actually an abusive piece of shit that verbally and mentally abuses women and kids.

Damn... my suggestion is to compress the file to a smaller size (edit the video and save it in a smaller format), or simply split it in 2.
I wish I could help, but I am not in US. I really hope family and friends are truly there for you to help you escape... and that asshole has a special place in hell saved for him.
Fucking beta loser, the lowest scum of the planet earth, a cockroach has a greater dignity than this shit. All of those that have no balls to pick on a man and resort on abusing helpless people that he must have protected. ARRGHHHH!!!!! I am sorry this piece of trash had the privilege of having kids, his dick and balls deserve to be cut, by the law of "you're no man enough to ever be a father or a lover again". All the men that abuse their families deserve a complete organs removal, this should be a fucking thing, because they are the reason abortions happen. Fucking piece of shit!

Grateful I get to go to Starbucks and did my makeup this morning.
Gratitude opens the door to having a good day. It's easy to wake up in a bad mood but gratitude helps you DECIDE what kind of day you choose to make it.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I've stopped allowing people to constantly telling me they're having a bad day, in a bad mood especially in the morning because that will affect how I start my day.

Grateful for... the Lord of the Rings series. Just rewatched it with my friend for the first time since it came out, and holy shit, I didn't remember 90% of it. It's so clearly about trauma and PTSD. I'm heading to the used bookstore later to buy the books.
Tried to read and watch these as a teenager, but severe ADHD and 3 hour movies didn't mix, lol. Finally understand the hype.

Omg you reminded me when I served as a model for a friend in highschool, we were 15 years old. She took some hair stylist summer classes, to make some pocket money from this and at the exam she obviously had to make a hairstyle and needed a model.
Damn she made me look like Paulette, from Legally Blonde movie. My hair was a hard rock pile of 2 bottles of hairspray and fixing gel. But she passed the exam so... :)))) But that was like some shitty type of summer course, they were obviously looking to take money from naive girls who just wanted to learn a skill, haha.
Btw that's a good price!

If he thought I was going to stay with his ass (plus his 10 year heavy baggage contract) with his current salary and no compensation his ass was sadly mistaken.
Glad he sees it my way.
Break Bertha off that child support then break me off triple what you pay her PLUS ALL these bills.

It's awesome because Starbucks has great lighting :)
I love makeup. I can't wear a little make up. I have to wear a lot of or no makeup. I love being a high key hoe.
I would love if there were other hoes doing makeup with me at Starbucks but so far there are none.
Don't hide doing your makeup, own and work it. Fuckboys will stare and people will look but I welcome that because I'm an attention seeking Hoe.
I would feel dissed if I'm not looked at. Not getting attention would crush my low self esteem.

The old man learned how to use his dog stairs to get in the jeep! Wahoo! Kudos to cheese as his treat to motivate him to learn to use the dog stairs!! He looks so unsure but he's never been in an suv or used stairs that are mobile before! He's scared of escalators too. Thinking of getting a comfy and easy to wash mat/bed for him to lay in his area in the car. SO THRILLED about the dog stairs!! Wonder how my other dog will react to the jeep lol.
Update: My 2nd doggo handled the stairs well! Pit bull decided he prefers jumping instead of stairs LOL. Overall so happy for my Labrador learning how to easily get in and out of the car safely at his old age.
