Scored a sweet deal on edibles, $20 for 200 mg. Also bought a solar powered generator with my gift card in hopes that it will pay itself off since I won't have to stop making deliveries due to my phone not being charged. The cigarette lighter in my car is broken so I can't charge my phone that way, so a generator it is. I feel much more empowered now. Aaaand I can now do my hair and use my LED mask in my car, too.

I'm so happy because I have always wanted a Day of the Dead sugar skull and have never had one, so since it's coming up and I've actually been 'decorating' this year I took my ass to etsy and finally got one. :scull: :lovestruc

Grateful for this forum. There is so much I think about that just isn't welcome content in other parts of the Internet.

Me too. There aren't many women-only spaces on the internet because men tend to invade them. For the record I'm not talking about trans women, as far as I'm concerned they're in the same boat as us with the shared experiences. I mean look at all the annoying ass blues on some sections of site alone lol
I'm grateful for this site too, for the reason you mentioned plus just reading all the older posts on here saved my ass when I started stripping back in 2017

I’ve been wanting to learn to shuffle dance for like yearrrssss. My YouTube profile seriously has shuffle tutorials in my liked videos playlist going back to 2017. Recently I finally started properly working on it! I took a video of myself last night and I was really happy with my progress. Still a long way to go to where I want to be but I’d feel confident now busting out a moonwalk or running man in front of people.

Can’t remember if I’ve posted about this here but I’m also learning Ukrainian! I’ve been doing Duolingo for about 6 months now. It’s a difficult language and Duolingo only scratches the surface…but last night I came across a Ukrainian tiktok dance video and I actually understood the title!!!! It was a twerk video and the title was something about boy soldiers not having rhythm compared to their female soldier peers.
Someday I’m going to go there and be involved in helping to rebuild. I like to daydream about being hired as an interpreter for some kind of US government sponsored construction project.

I would love to check this out! I only know Church ukrainian, from going to Ukrainian Catholic church. Growing up anyway. I'm grateful that I can sit in my car with my red light mask thanks to my new little generator thing.

I think my school is refunding me an extras $1000. I’m guessing the double charged me for a textbook. I’m not gonna ask if it’s correct though just in case. I’m pretty sure the charged me twice for a textbook and probably just now are refunding it. Still it’s an extra 1 k I wasn’t expecting

The big British guy who made my night at the sc. I got Hagrid vibes because of his physical size and appearance, which was amusing too. Hagrid tipped me $200 and gave me a brand new in the box vibrator. I have no idea how he managed to walk in with that hidden or why he'd bring that to a club when yesterday was the first time I'd ever seen him but I'm thankful lol. Even though I was tired after I got off of work, I still managed to use my new vibrator and have a really good o.

Grateful I was able to find a last-minute workspace to do my focus group today. My focus group is on zoom and they specifically told me not to do it in my car. They want me in a building. So I found a place that I can rent all day for $15 and I can take a shower and cook food there too!

I'm getting my hair dyed today (properly!) by someone in Newport Beach I used to go to and not by going to some new scam person that didn't do shit to it on my birthday last year. I'm really excited. Then I'm coming home to continue watching Legacies on netflix before lab practice. :D

I am so happy. This year for Halloween McDonald’s brought back the happy meal Halloween buckets that they had when I was a kid. There’s three kinds; a ghost, a jack-o-lantern and a witch, and I desperately wanted the witch. I was figuring I would have to take a night driving around buying multiple happy meals from different McDonald’s locations in order to get it, but after ruining my dinner plans by accidentally thawing out tilapia instead of chicken I decided to go to one McDonald’s tonight (I was too hungry to drive to 3) and I ordered 4 happy meals hoping one would be the witch. THEY GAVE ME 4 WITCHES. :witch:

SD been MIA for a while because he was going through a lot. I had a passing thought about him wondering how he's holding up, and then today he cashapped me $300 out of the blue. ;D
He said next time we see each other we're going on a shopping trip at the luxury mall to make up for his absence. He wants to "see how much damage I can do" LOL. I can't wait!! Will report back for sure }:D

Lab practice success this week. Obvi my mom is my teacher in the back (she works at a different school)...but here is my mock major tray set up at her home I accomplished to perfect this week during my vacation break. This is the final product after inspection of machinery, damp dust, hand wash, opening on the back table, checking integrity of packages, scrubbing in, gowning and double gloving, toweling off the back table/mayo stand/, soft count, sharp/instrument/forcep/ suction/ lap/ray-tech/ retractor count, etc. woohoo me I worked my booty off in lab practice during vacation despite netflix LOL Proud of myself !!:

Awesome Wendi! That’s thing about stripping it only takes one guy to make your night!
I found out because I had a late start class that’s why I got a refund. I also found a cheap $10 month phone plan and a second used iphone so I can have some boundaries between my personal life and work life. I’m grateful I have money for next months rent and savings, so I can focus on studying. I’m grateful for my new apartment. I needed more space. I was cramped in my tiny studio. I’m grateful for my support system. I’m grateful that the good outweighs the bad in my life. I have stress and problems like everyone else, but overall everything is going good!

$10 phone plan?
Wow, that's awesome.
May I ask which company?
I'd like to have a separate phone for the phone sex line.
Plus, my screen is cracked and the back cover keeps falling off.

^^ if you're a California resident, you can go through Truconnect. It doesn't cost anything per month, and they offered discount phones. My phone is an LG phone and a cost about $100. They have cheaper options too. So I get my cell phone service for free, but I still pay for my son's cell phone service because he goes through verizon.

Being able to make some $$ remotely !
I think I'm going to be about 95% remote ( for day job ) in the next 4 months unless I commit to something keeping me in person in a location !
There is one job ( taking a span of 24 hours ) from evening Nov. 18 through evening Nov. 19 that I could hit myself and save $600 but I'm thinking of just giving someone the $600 so I can be FULLY remote in November.

^^ Girrrl, it has been a godsend! The cigarette lighter thingy in my car is broken so I had to get this thing instead. I can even flat iron/curl my hair in my car now if I wanted to! It's just nice because I can keep running orders without having to take breaks to charge my phone and it's definitely making an impact on my productivity. They are so handy! And now if there's an emergency, it's no big deal because if the power goes out across my city, I'll be okay. Because the thing can power up on solar energy as well. Definitely worth the investment!

Nothing beats a great mattress. Which kind did you get?
I've been putting toppers on my old mattress, but I think it's time to get a new one.

I was just thinking this before reading your post. I just read an article online about an actress having to get a restraining order against her ex-husband because she's fearing for her safety. Amber Childers is filing against Randall Emmett, that guy who dated Lala on Vanderpump rules. So glad I don't have to deal with this kind of crap anymore. Honestly, men don't really do anything to enhance your life! All they do is cause problems! I'm so happy to be drama-free.
