Super productive day. Made money, paid a bill, did laundry, bought edibles, went on a sunset beach run. Glad I'm over covid and can exercise again. It feels so good afterwards!

Grateful that my boyfriend ("Guy") babysat my kids for 2 hours while I had remote court. The creepy photographer was charged with a misdemeanor, has to be on probation, and had to pay like $400 in fines. The judge told him that he's not to bother or contact me in any way, not to harass me at my home or work, or else he'll face another charge and jail time.

Grateful for the $50 gas card safe parking gave me as a little Christmas goodie. Also had a great day delivering groceries. Made pretty good money for delivering groceries!
Edit: eeek! I just scored a role on a comedy film! I'll be playing a cougar/single mom. 3 day shoot and it pays well. I'm making 2005 stripper money again! Woohoo! Lol

Grateful that I haven't had to fill up my gas tank since July. I still have 1/2 a tank full.
The beauty of living 2 blocks from everything, and for having most everything delivered.

I've decided to have a hobby. Paintballing. I grew up with it at 14, I want to go back out there! Used to play against army/marines. Time to return and have fun. I talked about this with my mom and she said one of the main people on the cardiac team (who is a female) is involved in it but moved. I want a hobby!!

I'm all clean and showered and resting in my hotel room. I rented a place for tonight and tomorrow night. My son came over earlier and we had dinner together. It is so nice just to sit down and chat with him. Tomorrow he's coming back over and we're exchanging gifts and having charcuterie. I'm also going to take advantage of the bathtub here in I've got my bath salts, edibles, bubble bath, put scrub, everything ready! Got my candles too.
I'm also grateful that this hotel didn't charge me extra for incidentals. I made extra money just to prepare for that expense and it's nice that I don't have to worry about it.

Been there.
Tubs and stomach sleeping are such a luxury when it's an option.
I'm grateful for so many things this Christmas, that it would take a few pages to list them.
I'll just boil it down to, health, wealth, great food, peace, and a beautiful, quiet yard to enjoy this holiday in. It's 83 degrees today, and my aching bones are beyond grateful.:pray::optimist:
My tan is not looking too bad either. :D

Several people at work gave me hugs yesterday when wishing me a Merry Christmas. It was sweet (luckily, all people I like lol).
It's a little funny, cuz they acted like they wouldn't see me for ages, but it's not like it's a company that doesn't do anything between Christmas and New Year's. Like.... we'll all be back in a couple days haha

I haven't posted on here in forever, and woke up thinking about stripper web again LOL. My Christmas gift.
I am grateful for the ability to come back to SW whenever I need. I took off for a year because I've been focusing on my business - but I wouldn't be able to even BE here as a business owner without the opportunities and connections I met through dancing and SW.
I am grateful that I can use my looks against the patriarchy, since they use it against me.
I am grateful for all of you, especially all the moderators and veteran posters on here - who helped me when I first started out so long ago.
Happy Holidays y'all - I won't be a stranger.

I just sleep in the backseat of my car. I have plenty of pillows and blankets so it's actually quite comfortable, but I can only sleep on my side and back. It is impossible to sleep on my stomach the same way I can on a bed. It's so nice!
@ DreamQ. It is so nice to have a bed and a bathtub! I took a nice long hot bubble bath this morning, complete with candles and meditation music. I used my pumice stone on my feet as well as my brush and my feet are all pretty now! You're not kidding, there's a lot to be grateful for.

Apparently instead of quiet quitting. The trend is if you work for a crappy corporation to hook your fellow workers up. I got the hook up on a rental car and the lady at jiffy lube hooked me up too. My spirit guides and angels are always looking out for me. I wanted to go to work, but I had a gut feeling I should get my car looked at. My oil and tires were low AF. I’m grateful I got an intuitive hit to have my car looked at. I spend close to $150 getting my car fixed which isn’t that bad at all. The lady said she would top me off for free next time because oil is expensive.
So the other day I gave a homeless man my sleeping bag because it was cold as hell and I was worried he would freeze to death. Struggling myself I did want to give away my nice sleeping bag, but I know part of manifesting abundance is also giving things away. The sleeping bag has sat in my closet for years. So I had faith that my good deed would be repaid and it was.
It just proves that the universe is abundant

@money that was really sweet of you, I'm glad you're good deeds came back to you! You deserve it! So o my son was supposed to travel to Buffalo New York today to visit with his dad's side of the family. All the flights were canceled and I'm secretly relieved because I was very nervous about my kid going out there to visit. I didn't think it was the best idea but of course if I say anything then I'm raining on people's parades. I am glad my son had to come home, he is safer here. I know he wanted to go, but that's life. I'm also very grateful for the beach run I went on at sunset and for the ab workout I made myself do at the park.

I'm just going to say it again, I love the Baristas at my starbucks. They are always so sweet and kind to me. When I didn't show up for 2 weeks because I had covid, they said they were wondering about me because they haven't seen me in a while. And they're all very glad that I'm okay. Theyre's so sweet!

Also grateful that the California Franchise Tax Board finally got off its pot smoking ass and processed my middle class tax payment card. Now they just have to take the next little baby step and mail it out to me. Hoping this doesn't take another 5 million weeks.

A last night and this morning and afternoon fuckathon. This was only made possible by having an overnight babysitter for my kids and his son wanted to stay at his mom's so it was just the 2 of us. All we did was have sex, eat, sleep, and repeat. We seriously had sex 20 times. Omg, my pussy is sore again but it was so damn fun! I have never been this turned on by any man! I'm grateful for this.

I'm going to share what I do at the start of the New Year, because maybe it will help someone.
I have a larger jar.
Each day I write down all of the things that I'm grateful for.:writing:
At the end of the year (this past week), I go through each piece of paper and then rip it up, and throw it away.
You can also burn it.
Life changing.

I like that ritual, dream queen! Today I am grateful for my gym workout, my hot shower, the sugar scrub I bought on clearance from Target, and the pumice and brush combo I got from target. I am beyond clean right now. I am scrubbed and exfoliated to the max, not to mention lotion and pampered. I feel fabulous today. Also grateful it's not sunny out at all or hot. I'm grateful that this year is over and I hope that 2023 is a year that I will remember forever because it's filled with wonderful events.
Edit: oh f*** yeah! I finally received my middle class tax return payments from the California Franchise Tax board. Happy New Year baby!
