^ I think one of the largest factors in weight loss it getting that mental thing down to just stop at about 80% full.
You don't need to always be super full ( despite what restaurant servings enough on a plate for three people tell us ha ).

Had a really good academic advising call with the community college today, and I'm registered for my pre-req courses for Medical Coding to start in January. As long as everything goes through with work paying the tuition (and I'm still nervous about them fucking something up, honestly), I should be going back to school next month. Fingers crossed that Amazon doesn't do some dumb shit like say that the pre-reqs don't count for tuition reimbursement or something.

It's a beautiful day outside, so I figured I'd park it Down by the Bay and enjoy the view. I found some shade under a tree to park under and recuperate. I can't taste my food now and it's really weird. Washed up a bit in the outdoor bath house, shampooed my hair. I didn't want to go to the gym and shower because at least at the bath house, it's outdoors and well ventilated. Painted my toenails and now I feel refreshed.

Grateful for Friday, and grateful for having the day off! Also grateful for a good night sleep, I went to bed early and slept uninterrupted until I woke up which is extremely rare for me. I feel like a new person.
I’m going to exercise, tan, shop and have some quality time with my daughter before it’s date night with SD. I feel like this will be a good weekend!

I’m grateful to be alive and healthy. After taking care of sick people you realize how precious life is and not to take it forgranted.

Not saying we all don’t have legit problems that deserve compassion, but if you woke up today and are reasonably healthy it’s a good day.

I got a bite from the casting website I've been submitting through! Glad to know that my photos and resume will get me some work/ interest. Also grateful for the dinner safe parking gave me tonight. It was a vegetable and cheese sandwich from Panera bread, along with chips and a chocolate chip cookie. I can't taste much right now, but I'm still excited to eat it! They have been taking such good care of me here, calling me to check in to see if I need anything. They are the nicest people, I swear.

Tested negative for covid today, but I still have a little bit of congestion left. It's almost over. It's been 9 days. Not being able to taste anything is making it easier to avoid treats and I didn't get chubby due to lack of exercise. My body is busy fighting this off. I'm lucky this was a mild case bc it could have been a lot worse.

I'm looking forward to working out again.

My first pet sit started today.
I am here now and sort of unpacked and settled.
I was up too late with N ( and the drive back out of the city to the suburbs ) and I'm exhausted.
I took doggie out and then we had a 90 min. rest / nap . It was so nice , ha.
I'm adoring having this place to myself and the dog is a cuddle monster ( the owner said he would probably try to sleep by me haha ).

It's one of the days where I feel like I want to give myself permission to just put a few of the to - do 's onto tomorrow.

That's what I'm thinking too.
I'm also getting offers for different credit card companies.

I just really want one from the bank that I do business with.
They rejected me last year for not having a high enough credit score.
But look at me now.

Awe. I wish we could all post pictures without being afraid. I’d love to see your faces. You look good in hats. I don’t.

I’m grateful I had an easy night at the club. I need to hustle harder, but I can cut myself some slack after finals week I needed a chill night. I made enough to get my nails done and get a massage. I’m grateful I can actually work full time again.I’ll make more money as a nurse, but it’s hard sometimes studying knowing I could be making money-especially when I could really use it.

A vanilla gig earlier that I had to rp a doctor for. In my head I wanted to bust out laughing with all the poo and fart talk I had to do, but I maintained my composure. I don't know why but I pictured Quagmire from Family Guy and suddenly thought of when I used to do ride alongs at a fire dept and some dude had a rodent stuck up his ass. As soon as I hung up the phone, I laughed so hard I felt like I was going to pee my pants. I needed this because I have been in period cry baby mode and I cried too much yesterday.

That is exactly what I say whenever I see my favorite Wal-Mart food delivery drivers.

Question: Do you think it would be weird or out of line if I called one of my drivers who went the extra mile?
Last week she drove over to the convenience store to buy the eggs that Wal-Mart forgot to include in my order.

She had her 2 little boys with her ( so a mother who could use the extra money).
AND she just moved here from Texas.

I would offer her money to run errands that I'm not able to run, due to my car being out of service.

I'm not sure how Walmart does their delivery, but if there's a way you can text her or contact her through the app and just let her know that you appreciate her services and you were just wondering if she would be available to run errands for you for pay. I wouldn't call though, probably just text. I know if someone offered me extra work off the app or outside the business I would be pretty grateful.

Grateful I made it up to Los Angeles safely. I'm only working here for the day and then heading back down. Maybe periodically during the day I may look for extra acting gigs scheduled for tomorrow. If I score a gig for tomorrow, I may just stay up here for the night in an Airbnb or something. We'll see what happens.

Also really happy to see that I can do instacart orders in Los Angeles! Without having to ask permission to change my work area. With GrubHub and Shipt I may have to ask them permission to allow me to work in this area.

I'm about one hour into the shoot and so far this has been so easy. 8 more hours to go. We're shooting a video for a business for their website/social media, and everyone in the office has been super welcoming. They're from Armenia. I love working in LA bc I love meeting people from all over the world. The office is super nice and upscale, and they even have bunnies here! They're so cute!! The guy I'm working for is cool, too. He says he may need me for some projects in January.

I'm grateful that the man I worked with yesterday wants to hire me for two more dates in January. So we booked two more gigs. Very happy about this. I'm also grateful that my son came to my rescue today when I ran out of gas. My gas gauge is broken and was telling me that I had more gas than I actually did. At first I thought I was going to have to pay $120 for a mechanic to fix my car, but I thought just in case let me just check to see if it's a gas problem. So my kid brought me some gas and it turned out that that was the issue. I was really happy that I didn't have to spend some of the money I made yesterday because I need it for other things.
