I had a nice summer. With COVID ending, there wasn't as much partying and noise in the neighborhood. The yard was fenced in the whole year this year so it was easy to go in and out, my dog has been on his anxiety medicine and moderately better behaved. I have a real garden set up.
That said, summer is still my least favorite season and I'm glad it's ending.

Ya these landlords are unbelievably greedy despite people forking over more than a fair share for the place. Years ago in LA when I had my own apt *gasp* I bought a 2 burner hot place to cook off of and refused to pay for any gas bill lol . It worked too. I also used a toaster oven to bake in which worked fine. Are you responsible for paying electricity there or is it paid by the landlord?
We're responsible for paying the electric.
I WISH they'd fork over the $300-$700 per month it costs to use my ac for the 6 months of summer.
But, they are too cheap.
Luckily I'm now on a low income relief plan, because electricity costs too damn much here.
Today I'm grateful for getting a delivery driver from Wal-Mart that was perfect.
He did exactly what they are supposed to do.
He left my groceries with enough room for me to open my door, and quietly alerted me that he was there.
All of my items were there.
I'm also grateful that the temps have dropped to below 100, and will stay this way for an entire week.
Looking forward to going outside again. Haven't been out since April.

I'm grateful for the whole deliver-to-your-door world that we live in today. I had chick-fil-a deliver my breakfast thru doordash today. Amazon dropped off two of my packages by lunch. And I'm currently waiting for Walmart to deliver my groceries so that we can have dinner.

I absolutely love it too!!! The only thing that bugs me is when hotels make me go downstairs to get my delivery food. I love having my food delivered to my door so I can be lazy LOL!
Anyways, my toy has arrived!!

Yessssss
And I honestly love the Lush 3 more than all of the others. If this one breaks I’m buying another one just like it, idk. It’s a big improvement in my opinion

Sometimes I think the universe protects me in little ways I don't even realize. I went shopping at TJ Maxx and pulled into a parking space. Immediately I noticed a better parking spot closer to the store and I wished that I would have parked there instead. I didn't even see it while I was looking for a spot. Fast forward to the end of my shopping trip, I'm walking back to my car and notice 3 big ass construction nails right in the "better" parking spot. Had I noticed that spot and parked there, I'd probably spending $500 on a new tire right about now.

I guess I should get one of these, I've got a similar product from another brand. I use it mainly when I go on my longer drives. :)

I got my period tonight so felt like something quick and easy..carrot hot dogs lol. I'm vegan and found the recipe on YouTube. My easy desert was banana,peanut butter with pumpkin spice and a bit of almond milk, ice cream. Just blended in my high speed blender and I was shocked how ice-creamy it turned out. Usually I don't have much of an appetite during my period but I'm craving it again

So today I had my focus group online but my connection started messing up after an hour or so. The moderator told me not to worry about it, that I would be excused from the group and I would receive my full payment. So rather than having to sit there for 3 hours I sat there for one and I'm getting paid for all three hours.. I feel kind of bad that I couldn't help out, but how cool of them to pay me for the entire thing because they understand that technology sometimes sucks.

Grateful that all of my items were there in my grocery delivery last night.
SOOO grateful that the temps have dropped, so now I can leave my door open at night, which helps with feeling claustrophobic.
Grateful that yesterday was my last counseling session.
I didn't get a dang thing out of it.:-\

She has a scrapbook for wedding memories - like a copy of the invitation, details about the bridal party, their first song and other details, etc. She's using a Cricut machine to personalize Mr. and Mrs. X and their wedding date on it. She had the scrapbook from when she bought it for me, but then I had a not-so-traditional wedding so she just kinda hung on to it because I can't really use it. I think she found it at Half Price Books anyway.

New roomie is fully moved in. (The flight attendant 2nd potential roomie backed out last minute) and this new roomie will only be here for a few months. Grateful for the extra money per month, cleaned the house so it's spotless, smells amazing, only one more test this week, and my grocery delivery is coming today. Grateful I can rewatch a couple episodes of netflix tonight and just relax while waiting for groceries!!

I'm grateful that I'll be catsitting for my friend again for a few days next week on her emergency trip that got extended. That $100 a day will def help me out. It'll also give me the space I need to figure out my shit away from him.
