For finally having money to get the god awful but totally necessary dental work that's been giving me anxiety for the last five years.

I'm grateful for the $80 I won at the casino this morning. I'm also grateful that my manager waived my $10 house fee. Then my reg just texted and said he'll be in soon! This so far has been a good "money" day". I'm riding the wave... $$$$$ Wheee!

I'm grateful for the free vanilla bean Frappuccino I got at Starbucks today. They made a "mistake" and gave it to me for free.
I got a free frappucino today too! But it was my mistake. I didn't have my wallet and just wanted to use a Starbucks gift card on my phone. But it was a Starbucks inside a building which I guess didn't take gift cards. They didn't ring me up until after they made it so when I couldn't pay they just gave it to me anyway. I felt so bad but oh well! Free frap!

Grateful that I broke up with my loser ex-bf around this time last year, and got my personality back. So this is what it's like to have friends again. <3

Grateful for the tiny jar of peanut butter I found at the store. Why is Europe so anti-peanut butter? America is a nut butter haven... cashew butter, almond butter... but nope, here it's only Nutella. Maybe even white Nutella, if you're lucky.

I've done some serious self care the last few weeks. :)
My crowing achievement on the indulgence front is learning that I can buy an express mani ( $40 ) at the BEST spa in town which gives me access ALL DAY to their amazing facilities. :)
The place is perfection - gorgeous lounge room with tea and snacks, water features including showers with great products, jacuzzi / indoor pool , and steam room / sauna. It seems like everywhere I've gone in this town, there are ameneties missing and I'm thrilled to find one that is PERFECT. I spent about 6 hours there .... next time I'm bringing a lunch, ha!
Also ...... wtf friends in this town who DIDN'T tell me there are OTHER spas that offer day use options ?

My vanilla job is getting a lot better. I was kinda pissy because they're changing my schedule again, but it's actually not their fault this time - it's because my partner up and quit with very little notice. And they're moving me to nights on a 3-day-a-week, longer hours schedule rather than shorter hours 4 days a week which I actually prefer, so it shouldn't be too bad after an adjustment period. Changing it suddenly was going to fuck with some travel plans, but all I had to do was tell my boss that I already had made plans for the days I thought I was supposed to have off under my previous schedule and she gave them to me as scheduled time off, no problem. They also had a meeting last week because they realized they were losing people at a crazy rate due to all the changes, so everyone got a fairly significant pay raise!

Mostly MONEY! Making three stacks in the summer off the tourists is whatever but in the first week of February, it's making me feel grateful! Today I'm cleaning my house and taking my dog to the off leash park because he's a prince and he deserves it!

That's true! I did find it at Marks and Spencer in the Czech Republic. But I haven't seen M&S in Croatia. Thank god for the English, that store has so much delicious food! :)

It might be silly, but I'm glad we are settled for Valentines day this year. On our Anniversary and my birthday we were traveling which was exactly what I wanted to do at that time, but I'm grateful for our own place and being settled as a couple at least for the next few weeks. Also .... I am just throwing it out to the universe that I should get a BIG bouquet of flowers . He had it way too easy since flowers would have just been a hassle to carry while traveling, ha.

Grateful for super nice indy camming customers... never would have anticipated that strangers in this business can be so kind.
Also grateful for friends and loved ones. Somehow in the space of a week, I went from one of the highest points of my life to one of the lowest. Things have been absolutely insane, but it's getting better now... I have shelter, food, and people waiting for me back home. Even thought I was sick in a foreign country, people were checking up on me. I haven't felt like part of a supportive community like this for... a long time. Maybe never. It means a lot.

I just have to come in and brag that even though it took me 3 days and a ton of hiccups, some cuts and bruises, a LOT of spilled coolant and about $200... even though it would have cost me about the same to send it to the mechanic, even though I lost 3 days of wages from camming (so in reality it cost me even more), I DID IT. I did it myself. And it WORKS! I replaced my waterpump. YAS! So much heartache and pain and blood... but I did it myself and I learned so much doing it. Now I just have to cross my fingers that it holds up and doesn't fail and blow my engine. Then I would really hate myself! But right now I'm on top of the world! I spent the whole week in my happy place working on my cars and even though I didnt work on cam and I kinda need the money to keep working on them, it felt really good to finally do something. I hadn't done any work in like 6 months. And she really needed it. I even had someone ask me if I would work on their car for them, which was a huge compliment. Can't wait to do more! (sorry for the huge ass pic but I couldnt get it to size down for some reason)

I've had so much drama when it comes to guys, so to have what I have with him is truly a blessing. Finally!! Thank you Universe!
I'm also stoked my favorite movie (Goodfellas) is on. I actually met one of the actors at work in the club. One of the highlights of my dancing career...!

It was Peter Cicale. He played Pete the Killer in that bar scene where they introduced all the gangsters. At first I didn't recognize him, then he told me. I you tubed it in the dressing room, and saw that it really was him! He was cool. Very laid-back guy. We talked about how he was going to the Cannes film festival. And it was awesome because before he told me who he was, he asked me what my favorite movie was and I said hands down, my favorite movie is Goodfellas. I probably watched it thousands of times! Then he told me he was in it and I couldn't believe it. That was a pretty cool night.

Do you like Casino? It's my favorite mob movie.
Tonight I'm grateful to just be spending the night in bed with a bunch of ice cream. Perfect for post workout lol.
Casino is my second favorite. I am a huge Scorsese fan. Studied his entire filmography.
Today I'm grateful for people who inspire me to become more fabulous.

Waking up is quite a blessing that most of us take for granted each day. I am humble in knowing how fortunate I am to have been given not only another day but given another birthday today!!!

Today I am grateful for my former long-time cam custie. I thought he was gone forever because I'd not seen him around on the site for about 3 years. He gave me a large tip, like he used to back then. That made my day. I'm hoping he comes around more often now.
