Grateful to be moving to a different safe parking lot today. The lot I'm at now checks you in by 9:00. Pm and you have to be out by 7:00 in the morning. This new lot is a 24-hour lot where I can check in as early as 5:00 and stay out as late as 10:00 p.m. I don't had to leave by 7:00 a.m., I can stay there all day if I want. This is good in the event I get some sort of remote position that I can work from my car. They have outlets there and stuff that I can hook my computer up to with an extension cord and literally have a console in my automobile. I'm thinking I have 140,000 miles on my car and with all this grocery delivery crap I'm pretty much running my own home into the ground. Now I can stay in the lot all day and work online if I need to. And if I have to go out of town, at least I have a safe place to store my car.

Grateful that my direct deposit hit my bank account yesterday!
It's from a pso company that I just started working for, that pays once a month.
Last month I didn't get paid because there were 2 numbers missing from my routing number.
One of my clips sold while I was outside dealing with that horrible mechanic.
So grateful.

Took forever but I got my car AC fixed today (after riding around in this thick ass heat for two months). And every time I think about it I just get a fresh wave of relief. Like, a literally wave of good feels and positive vibes.

What’s the name of that ‘feel good’ chemical that the body creates? Serotonin? Whatever it is, I can feel it trickle through by chest and down to my stomach like a cold drink of water. You guys have no idea how happy I am to be out of the heat.

I originally spent $1200 to get it fixed like four months ago and it konked out 30 days later due to a separate issue. So forking over more money to fix the same issue just wasn’t finna happen, I was salty and had an attitude about it. But the heat had an attitude right back. GOD, I’m glad that this shit is done and over with.

Grateful for my clean car, edibles, the fact that weed is being decriminalized on a federal level, and for the nice time I had with my son today to celebrate my birthday. We had a really good brunch and a nice long talk. This is going to be a great year and we're both really excited for it!

Grateful I can sleep in at this safe parking location. It's a 24/7 lot. I can check in and check out as I please but I just have to be in by 10:00 p.m. and the cool thing is it's right across the street from the stadium and there was a football game there last night. I'm excited for some concerts. Free shows! Woohoo! Party at safe parking LOL.

I also decided that I'm going to invest in some car curtains. Right now I'm using a plastic tarp and it looks kind of ghetto. Maybe I'll hit up Dollar Tree tomorrow and get a cute little trash can for the front seat area. At this point I'm just like screw it, I'm just going to make this super homey.

My husband has been doing a lot of chores this week. I thanked him and he said he should start helping out more, because I shouldn't have to come home every day and immediately have to do everything around here. I should be able to come in, get something to eat, sit down, and relax.

Like, yeah, I fucking should.

Send some my way please. It's still in the high 90's here.
I'm grateful that my car started right up yesterday.
Hallelujah!
I'm going to put the top down and go for a test drive.
There's a new waterless car wash and thrift shop that just opened up.
Starbucks will be my last stop.
Love that everything is only a couple of blocks away.
It will be my first time out since April 28th.

Just had an interview with a small startup production company in Los angeles. The owner of the company is a woman and I'd be very excited to help her out. What is cool is that she would allow me to work remotely and I wouldn't have to drive all the way to LA unless necessary. Another nice thing is that I'm in a 24/7 safe parking lot now that has internet access and a table so if I need to set up a computer and work there, I can. I won't have to drive around so much to make money. We'll see if I get hired! I'm also auditioning for a game show today, lLet's make a Deal.
Maybe I can win some fabulous prizes , including a new RV to park in the safe lot LOL

I do one of her easy arm toning videos, it's been over 2 weeks and grateful I've stuck to it and can see a bit of a difference already. I love watching her clothing haul videos too. She looks amazing in everything she wears

It's okay too take breaks and rest when you need to. Keeps you from burning out. I worked out throughout my 20s, 30s, and 40s and that helps with self-preservation. Plus I worked dayshift too so staying out of sunlight also helped. And I didnt drink alcohol either. I thiink botton line, as long as you take care of yourself, you can stay sexy your whole life. I'd like to be a hot old bitch at 70 lol!

For my son and his intelligent sense of humor.

I'm grateful I don't have a man in my life like Kanye West. He is such a wreck when it comes to PR and social media. I'm sure Kim is pissed beyond belief she had to hire more security now that Kanye blasted which school his children attend on social media.

Found an awesome shop nearby that deals with all the legal variations of cannabinoids. The guy was super knowledgeable about everything and happy to explain everything to me. I got a Delta 8 vape which seems to be doing exactly what I wanted to do - feeling a little "high" and relaxed but not "stoned." And bought some Delta 9 chocolates that he said would definitely give an "experience." But I'll wait until I'm Facetiming with a friend to try those. I'll definitely go back to try some of the other stuff he pointed out.

A woman came in a little through our conversation who seemed to be his wife. I've seen a lot of this at little vape/smoke shops recently. A couple running it together, and they're always so cool and nice. I think it would be so cool to open a little shop like that, me being super knowledgeable in all these cannabinoids and my husband selling vape stuff since he's obsessed with it.

One of my relatives lives with BiPolar One so I wasn't too shocked when Kanye West went off the deep end....I've witnessed those sorts of meltdowns up close. (Random trivia- about 25% of professional entertainers are said to have Bipolar disorder.)

Grandiose fantasies? Check. Living in one's own world? Check. Lovebombing partners and co-workers to get his way? Check.

Kanye is basically a hostage in his own life.

Today I'm grateful I found a sweet little reminder of an old friend. I try to remember people at their best.

Grateful I was able to buy 200 mg of THC Edibles for $3 because I have so many points racked up in my account at the dispensary.

Also grateful for the free olaplex I got at Ulta for my birthday treat. And some skin care products that were not expensive at all.

For my free cup of Starbucks coffee this morning because I had enough points. I'm having a good shopping day Lolz

Edit: just went to Native Foods because I'm craving their veggie chicken tenders and they just informed me that I have a birthday reward and it covered my lunch. This is freaking awesome.

I'm gonna get a few scratchers after work...

Im thankful L, despite having a late entry for his job, went to work EARLY and got out of my hair. He’s not clinging as much as he used to. And I have 3 hours to have the house to myself and binge on housewives so I can get some Inspiration on my next move up.

Moving forward…..

If it ain’t housewives level - ion want it.

I figured out how to block restricted numbers from calling me. It has been frustrating because someone was repeatedly calling me like every hour for the past 2 days. I answered once and there was just a loud static noise and my voice echoing over and over. I'm sure BD is probably behind it. Luckily an end was put to that crap.

Lately when I've been going to the bathroom, they run my food out to my table, complete with my cup of ice water. They're so awesome! I love them so much. They're so nice.

I have an Android.

I also have an Android. Go to the phone app. Click the 3 dots at the top right corner(next to the microphone icon). Go to Settings. From there go to where it says blocked numbers. Click that and at the top it says unknown, blocks calls from unidentified callers. You have to click on that little icon so it turns blue. That means it's on and will block those bastards from calling from restricted numbers.

Grateful that one of my instacart customers gave me a high rating along with a compliment that the way I bagged their groceries was amazing. They increased their tip. Which is cool because I sincerely try to do a good job respecting people's stuff.

For the gift card that arrived in my mailbox today from a focus group that I wasn't able to finish my participation in, but they still paid me for the full time. Also grateful for the Edibles I'm about to buy with said gift card, before my cptsd kicks in and I turn into a raging b**** again.
