I sent a long time client to go get stuff that was left at my aunt's house, where her big, burly bastard of a boyfriend is. I'm glad that old man is brave. Must be because he's old and southern and has a dgaf attitude. Funny when people like that will help me when my own family won't.

I guess my parents did the family membership to this gym .
SO nice !
I went today to work out and saw that there is a jacuzzi and steam / sauna.
It ALL appeared to be working too !
That fancy gym in the city I was SO eager to visit couldn't even put a damn sign out saying the jacuzzi isn't working.

Nice. I think it's the same distance as my gym was back south ( roughly 6-8 minute drive super easy ).
I have a HOME gym now !

So grateful for my New York (and all upper East coast really) clients.

They keep me well paid and we are so harmonious together.

We get each other.
If I didn't have them, I'd probably quit virtual sex work all together.
Wish I could live there, but the weather is too harsh.
Not that the desert isn't, but at least we have perfect temps for 6 months.

My East Coast/NY clients have also been some of the best! It's weird, there's something about the culture... they just get it!

Today I'm grateful that my new cat, and my old cat, have been snuggling in bed together. Never thought this day would come!

Glad I got my car payment in and that I got to see my son a little bit for the last couple of days. I've been stopping by to just drop stuff off, like pumpkin bread with icing and milk. As a Halloween treat. Grateful I'm not starving and I at least have a safe place to stay in my car. Also grateful for the safe parking staff for giving me some job leads.

Glad L isn’t hounding me to take his daughter out with me on my Sunday excursion (I know she’s going to get whiny after an hour or so) and L has to work (so he cant come and hover and force himself and his kids on me)

Im going to see my family and surround myself in success and wealth today.

Grateful my friend from the community had the presence of mind to keep some safety pins in her purse, because I’m a bit more developed in the shoulders than the person they had on the package modeling the costume I wore, and I almost inadvertently ended up becoming a stripper again last night.

Yup, that they do.:)
I'm grateful that my grocery delivery driver came back when she realized that she left my Fritos in her car.

How sweet and conscientious.
I made sure to tip her extra.

With all of the drivers who have been stealing my food, it was a pleasant surprise.

Grateful that I went on a Halloween beach run around sunset. It was amazing! The clouds were orange and hot pink, it almost look like a jack-o'-lantern set on fire. It was so beautiful. I really needed to be out in nature running and getting an endorphin buzz. Also grateful for my Edibles and chocolate.

Today is our last day in this apartment complex. I have some last minute shit to do before turning the keys in. But i am unbelievably happy to be leaving this godforsaken place.

The kitchen sink clogged out of nowhere two days ago and has been filled with dirty dish water ever since. It does this every 3 months. I'm saving it (among other things that don't work/constantly needs reparing) as a special surprise for the leasing office. My parting gift.

I'm a little nervous because we're migrating to a hotel for the next two months. I've never 'lived' in a hotel before. But since I'm essentially leaving all of our old furniture here, it won't be that hard to pick up and leave.

Just bring our tooth brushes, clothes, documents and family photos. We're finally out of this bitch!

I'm so happy for you, and hope that you enjoy hotel living as much as I do.

I lived in one for 3 weeks when I decided to move to a distant town.
Loved traveling light, and not having the responsibilities that come with renting an apartment. ( See my maintenance debacle).

Hotels have always been my 'safe' place. My getaway place.
I love that if I don't like my room/suite because of noisy/nosy neighbors, I can just move rooms.

I like the anonymity of hotel living.

I had the house to myself for MULTIPLE hours for the first time in a while

His ass thought I was going to chit chat with him all night. Um NO I have longed for a break and I’m damn sure going to get. Go cling to your needy kids like you always do and leave me alone.

Thank heavens his employer booked him for over 12 hours yesterday

And my kids are so excited to be out of that place. In a weird way their happiness makes me feel even worse (if that’s even possible) about what we were putting up with. What kid is openly expressing their joy regarding NOT having to deal with pests? Embarrassing.

I will never ever ever ever let us live like that again. Hotels for the win.

Indeed. I'm in love with these cooler temps.
Waited a long time for this. 6 months to be exact.
It's been fun wearing my sweaters and socks, and pulling out my blankets and throws.
I'm putting up my thanksgiving/fall harvest decorations.
Love this time of year!:cloud9::cold:

After living in hotels for a while, I'm so glad to be in an apartment now. It'll cost me less and I can finally eat home cooked meals, instead of microwave shit or having to get takeout or delivery. Best of all, I'm free of abusive BD. He doesn't know where I am and I plan on keeping it that way.

Congrats Wendi. Enjoy your new place.

I’m grateful I’m in school. I’m not use to people being so nice to me, but it’s a nice break from the toxic club where guys will talk down to you and be rude for no reason. Don’t get me wrong I miss some of the girls and my good clients, but I’m grateful to get away from the club drama. Which to be fair happens in other industries too, but it’s good for my mental health to take a break from the club. I had a really great day at school I’m really exhausted. I’m ready for winter break. I’m pooped.

I have one customer coming up in two weeks that will put my monthly income over my " minimum " ( which is about 50% of my overall goal ) .
It's just nice I have the " baseline " covered and 27 days left in the month to go further ! Just like dancing .... those early start nights always had a MORE delicious taste to me . Early sales in the month make me HAPPY.
NO one likes waiting !

Why not at least TRY to hit my pre-covid monthly goal since a good start happened ?

I’m grateful I’ve been able to withstand SD continuous pressure for spending more time with me, which was the reason it crashed the first time. I basically stick to the plan, 1 weekend a month and fairly short meetings 3-4 times a week. He constantly offers me more money, so I get close to 30% more now than when we started.

I've worked non-stop for the last 2 months to make it happen.

Workhorse I am.
I love this about myself.
And I hate this about myself.
I hate it because I hold everyone up to a higher standard, yet they always let me down.

Still. It's great not having to rely on anyone else.:)

The AirBnB kind size sturdy bed is just so wonderful .
omg !
Whoever set this up did a great job ( me lol ) !

That bed in my parents spare room up north is super weird. It's kind of flimsy and moves around . It's only a double size. I think it was low scale driving me a little nuts over the last week. Ha.

So .... love that THIS is my bed the next 9-10 days if I choose to stick around here. I probably will !
It's a LONG time to close the AirBnB to reservations but we tried to time a few " little " things and one other larger scale type repair in the slow season in an attempt to just get it all done at once. It's good to have someone here so we don't have to give out the codes to repair people.

^^Wow, I've never heard of it.
I'm definitely going to order some.

A phone sex regular customer fell asleep while talking to me last night.
Lol
At first I thought he was grunting while cumming.
Nope. He was snoring.
Loudly.:faint::rotfl:

This went on for over a half hour.
I couldn't wake him up.
Grateful that he got me to my goal and I was able to log off and enjoy the rest of my evening.

I'm SO grateful that I don't live with a man who snores like that.
Yikes.

My parents, sister, and aunt and uncle all came in from 3 different states and rented a nice VRBO with a hot tub, fire pit, and big backyard for games. They cooked a delicious seafood meal last night. And I'm glad they were here to cheer me up after putting down a pet.

Now that you mention it; my boobs do seem a little swollen like they do when I'm ovulating, and I'm pretty sure I'm not anywhere close to getting my period right now haha. It increases oxytocin levels in the brain and helps breastfeeding mothers produce milk, so I totally believe it. I'm not even taking the full 2 capsules a day yet, just 1 since I like to start off slow when introducing new supplements/medications.

Surprise side effect? :D I'm grateful for it, hell.
