Grateful that I made it up to Los Angeles in one piece despite the rain. Grateful that my covid test came back negative, and for the Airbnb I booked for tonight so that I can get a good night's rest before I work a full day tomorrow as a background talent.

You're so lucky! I wish I were in your shoes right now.
I have been waiting for the rain to finally to subside here in California to do my bedding and the dog's bed covers since they get dirty paws from going to the bathroom outside. It seems that the forecast says it's gonna be not raining this week so I have to do mine today :(.

Colored my roots yesterday myself and it came out gorgeous!
We had a wind storm come through all day into the night.
Love hearing wind.
Grateful that my power stayed on.

Grateful for the focus group today, even though it was long as fuck. At least it paid good.

I’m grateful my student loans will be in soon. The weekends have been hit or miss. It’s really feast of famine. At least with student loans, I can focus on school.

Grateful for the awesome night sleep I just had in the safe parking lot in Los angeles. Also grateful for the safe parking lot. It has everything my old one does, but the weird thing is there are barely any people staying in there! Maybe only like two cars. Which is fine with me. It's amazing how I sleep like a baby in my car but when I try to rent an Airbnb I can't even get a wink of sleep because of people burping, yelling, slamming doors, etc.
Also grateful that I got to work yesterday on a TV show. It's called Winning Time and it's on hbo. I recognized one of the actors I saw yesterday, his name is Adrian Brody. I think yesterday we filmed the season finale episode and I played a crazed Boston Celtics fan in the stands.

I'm so glad to hear that the safe parking in L.A. is working for you.
I was worried when you first mentioned that you were going there.
Adrian Brody...yummy.
Go Celtics! ( I'm from Boston).
How fun!

Even though everything today seemed to take every ounce of my willpower, I managed to slowly make my way through deep cleaning the bathrooms and floors, and that made me feel slightly better.

The steak lunch that BD gifted to us. This is now the 2nd time that he randomly had expensive food delivered to the kids and I. I know why he's doing this but I'm not falling for it.

Had a good day, energy-wise today. Got up in time to make breakfast before work, which rarely happens. Wasn't tired all day.
So relieved. I've been debilitatingly low-energy for the past 4 days. I was getting bad anxiety thinking I wouldn't make it to work again.

It was fun! The show I was working on is called winning time. I've never heard of it but it's on hbo. I'm on the last episode the season finale. I saw Adrian walking around on the basketball court and I had no idea he was on the production because I'm not familiar with the show. I saw him and thought oh that looks like Adrian Brody and then I looked it up and I was like oh s*** that is Adrian Brody LOL I really should research the shows I'm working on before I go on so I'll know who to look out for! Yeah, the safe parking lot is cool because there's barely anyone in there! It's like a Secret Safe parking lot! I called the other safe parking lot and they told me that they were full and had a wait list but then they told me to call these other people who pretty much have nobody in their lot except for me and maybe one or two other cars. I prefer it this way because I don't want to have to deal with a lot of people. And nobody can climb into it because there are high chain link fences with barbed wire up top, almost like a jail. And there is a gate that opens and closes and locks. The security guy is pretty cool. I'll have to take a picture when I wake up tomorrow morning because it's really surreal to wake up, walk outside, and see all these buildings in La around you. With the moon still above. Thanks for your concern Dream Queen, I feel pretty safe at this lot and I'm grateful that I found it

I'm grateful that without even asking, my tyrant neighbor had the maintenance guy fix my fence.
Someone keeps breaking in and pulling apart the boards.
Now I'm going to get a security camera to catch the fuckers in the act, should it happen again.

Officially, I have finally cleaned my room and it smells very very clean. I am pleased. No dog hair and dirt from the dogs. Kinda glad I waited, it ended up raining on Thursday anyways.

Beyond grateful that the car wash that I go to does house calls.
I'm always so nervous to have men come here, but the guys they sent put me at ease.
The main guy is the one who has worked on my car in the past.
He is so kind.
After he finished, he asked if I needed help putting my car cover on.
His helper was already in their truck ready to leave. Lol
I tipped 30%
When people go the extra mile for me, they don't even know how much I appreciate that.
I was so nervous after making the appt and had to take 2 stress tabs.
So grateful.

I’m so grateful for a good shift. Like call me crazy, but this law of attraction stuff really works. I’ve had my highest earnings three week in a row. Now I can pay rent and study. I was so stressed about bills I could focus on school. I have hella homework to do tomorrow. I literally have no days off. It’ll be worth it when I never have to dance for a guy again.

While I'm still crossing my fingers that Stripperweb can be "saved," I am impressed and grateful to see how many ladies here stepped up and immediately started finding other places for us to go to keep in touch and keep the conversations, support, and education going.
It really shows what a real community this is that is important to so many people.

I got a call yesterday from a low income senior apt a few doors away, telling me that a one bedroom just became available.
How much is the rent, you ask?
$375 per month.
It's a no brainer whether I'm going to take it or not.
The greedy landlord here keeps raising rents by $100 each year.
The new neighbor is paying $1900 for a tiny 1 bedroom.
No thanks.
So grateful right now.:pray::thanx:

I don't know how I got this today but dude was here last night and snuggled the hell out of me.
Then we stayed in bed until 11a.m.
I thought a late start would impact my work day negatively but I'm STILL set to be done by 5 .
Ha. The gods are smiling on me today.

We were just literally talking about this the other day! So excited for you! Get it girl!
Grateful for the Edibles I bought and for the hour Long Beach Walk I just took. I felt too lazy to go to the gym or go running so I decided just to take a nice easy walk by the beach and the bay. It's a beautiful day. Having lunch now, then walking another half hour back to my car.

IKR? Thank You for the well wishes.:-*
They have a 2 bedroom in another property nearby too, which I didn't even know about, but that list will take a year or so for me to get to the top.
I'm probably going to wait and take that one.
So grateful right now.
