Even though I'm in bitch mode and not camming today because of my shitty mood, I'm glad one of my longtime fbsm clients contacted me today. It at least gave me a distraction from my hormone-induced rage because he always gives me a body rub after I give him one. He even brought me a new toy, too. If he had brought chocolate too, I swear I probably would've proposed marriage, lol.

Glad the guy I met recently is taking me to lunch. He seems really kind and has a good personality completely opposite of that last dude who turned out to be a textbook narcissist

I'm grateful my Beloved Boyfriend treated us to a nice hotel room by the beach. We held each other in bed and listened to the waves crashing on the sand. So romantic and peaceful. I love him.

That I don't have to lie to all my friends about my job. One of my friends from the work I do that isn't this job used to be in the industry and retired. She's such a queen and it's so nice to be able to be my unvarnished self.

I got a cute designer skirt & top today, feeling a little down.
Most of my clothes are crap, I need something nicer (not necessarily pricey) so I can get out there, freestyling or just getting out.

Yezzz! I bought those too! They're perfect to wear on cam.
Oh yes.. And I'm grateful for an uncrowded Dollar store.
It made shopping in there pleasant for once.
Plus, there was no music playing, and I welcomed the silence.
Being an HSP, and introvert, it was a dream come true.

Even though I complain about the place I moved into, I am grateful I have it and moved out. It's about time I'm on my own again.

I am grateful for dancing and being able to pay for the month of October in advance. The other new roommate wants to extend her stay but I know that there will only be one spot in November so I knew paying rent ahead in advance would put me ahead of her when it comes time to decide who gets to stay or not. This would not have been possible without dancing.

Grateful that I just discovered these.
Omg! I rarely go to trader Joe's anymore because it's always so crowded.
Think I'm going to go later in the evening, and just take my time going slowly through each aisle.

I'm so grateful my little brother is doing so well at his new school. I'm just so proud of him. He want to join the karate club and on his own, went to talk to the club sponsor to get the information he needed to join. I picked him up from school and told him how proud I was of him and I started crying like a crazy lady and hugged him. And he's like "Ooooookaayyy? What's the big deal?"

I have had money flying out the fucking door the last couple weeks, but I have also made a lot of money. So while it sucks on some level, I am grateful that it was there when I needed it. I don't have to make shitty decisions like putting down my cat or not fixing safety features on my car just because I don't have the money to deal with unexpected problems.

I went to the dentist for a check up and cleaning today which I had put off for over a year. No cavities yay! Very grateful, just a chipped filling. I also asked about teeth whitening and she told me the only way my teeth will get whiter is if they remove the fillings I have on my front teeth because they made part of my teeth stained, and she told me i have to buy crest white strips and use them for 2 weeks, then they will remove my fillings and replace it to match the white parts of my teeth. I bought Plus White 5 minute whitening gel instead cuz i heard it works just as well as the strips... we will see. I really hope i end up getting whiter teeth after this.

Sooo grateful that for the first time since the end of April, it was cool enough to go outside!
The temps have FINALLY dropped below 100, and I was even able to sleep with my windows open!

Also grateful that I went to a service my spiritual center had last night honoring World Peace Day.
It was such a beautiful event. I really love the people who go there.:meditate:
At one point I was freezing my ass off because the AC was set so low.
My little shawl just wasn't doing it. All of a sudden one of the members snuck up behind me and gently placed his wool scarf around me.
Such a kind person. ( He's gay, so no ulterior motive).
Sometimes it feels good to not be seen as just a sex object. Just so grateful for moments like that.:)

This thread, for being here.

You all. Holy hell, vanilla bitches out there are the worst. Never expected to find nicer, more intelligent people in the adult industry (present and former) but here we are! Wouldn't change it. <3

Aldi. Thank god for cheap and HEALTHY food I can get for my family. Never realized Aldi had healthy and organic foods for sale.

My pets.

My daughter.

Just being alive, even if life is really hard right now.

My favorite teller noticed that I was drinking Starbucks ( when am I not?) Lol!

She said that people are always giving them to her, and she doesn't drink coffee.
LOVE LOVE LOVE her even more now!!

Wow, my most inner circle of guy friends are just amazing! They went to " capture " one getting married soon and go to a strip club.
I was preparing for weird comments or " cliche " comments but there was NONE of it !

They were gathering club info and went to get their money ready , haha! It was so nice to see good guys going out with NONE of the jokes or commentary. I realize that maybe I didn't see everything, but I expected a decline in the conversation ( mixed crowd ) and there wasn't any!

I had a little wave of guilt over lying about my own history for a bit .....

For the fact that sex work has put food on my table time and time again. I've had more issues getting paychecks and money from vanilla jobs than I've ever had from sex work jobs. It's very telling, but it makes me even more grateful to do it.

Very grateful to have cultivated two wealthy and generous regular clients who consider me a friend who can ask them for money. I usually loathe the idea of clients knowing that I "need" their money beyond it being a purely professional transaction where they only give me money when they decide to purchase my services. My cat needs a bypass surgery on his ureters, and since they require a full payment upfront, I don't have that much to part with right now. I'm splitting the cost between these two clients. One is letting me work it off in appointments, which feels way easier to me, because now it forces him to schedule with me (he sometimes goes quite awhile if he doesn't have this "pre-payment" plan to work off of), and the other hasn't made it clear yet if he will do the same thing or have me pay him back. But I imagine he will also be fine with a pre-payment thing for future appointments, or even so, would be lenient with the timeframe of paying him back so I can focus more aggressively on my credit cards.

Also grateful that I've been stressed all day about the money situation and how it will play out (also getting a loan from my parents for car repairs so I don't have to worry about that huge chunk of change this week), that I sat down and figured out how to lower my monthly expenses by over $60. Not extravagant but pretty significant considering they aren't changes that will impact my life that much. Should've done that long ago, but didn't really need to til now.

I also am happy that despite the stress, I have not had the urge to shut down emotionally, skip my workout, binge eat, drink, and get high. I actually did a really good 5 mile run, ate a modest dinner, and have no desire to turn to alcohol or drugs right now.

Same here. So often vanilla jobs chop and change hours. Pay late etc.

Sure, it's called Salt Spring organic dark roast decaf. Supposed to be 99% caffeine free. I tried it and it's pretty mild for my taste so will add more coffee next time I make a cup

I'm BEYOND grateful that my Apt building just sold to a little old lady who, not only won't be raising my rent. BUT will also let me sign a long term lease!! :smellie_j
She also won't be living on the property, because she lives a few cities away.
My douchebag landlord not only raised my rent, even though I've only lived in here 8 months! Plus, he lived on the property, and was always perving around.
Good riddance greedy bastard! Well, he moved across the street, but that's better than when he lived here.

Going to a nice place with quality food and service.

And meeting a quality dude that seems to be attracted to me for me

Grateful to have time to relax, finally, after a LOOONG week. I moved into a new apartment, started a new job, and got through a bunch of visa/immigration red tape. Whew.

Just ordered delivery from a burger place. Might take a bath later. Gonna do some shopping at Sephora this weekend.

Ahhhh :D
