I'm grateful my son is growing up into a responsible, down-to-earth man. He has good grades, a healthy social life, a job now, and is doing well at driving a car. He has his shit together more than some 35 year olds I know lol.

1.)I'm not pregnant and 2.) No medical reason as to why I was having the bleeding, other than gyno saying that sometimes hormones can get out of whack, but it finally stopped. Whew! That's a major weight off of me. Also, I'm grateful for Mexican hot chocolate. Yummy!
I'm relieved to hear this. When you mentioned the bleeding, I was going to suggest that heavy bleeding is oftentimes caused by fibroids, I had one once. Heavy periods (like changing my tampon once an hour heavy) . Make sure you're getting enough iron. Poor girl.

So today my son went out with his friends. One of them is a girl and I think he had a thing with her before she moved away. She is back visiting in town for winter break so the two of them spent time together. I'm watching how he interacts with her and he is so sweet and respectful towards her. I dropped off 2 of his friends, and he offered to go from the front seat to the back so he could sit and keep her company so she wouldn't be by herself. He behaved like a total gentleman and spoke to her so respectfully. It made me want to cry. You have to understand, my father raped me and whored me out to his friends, and the one thing I was worried about was raising my son to be respectful of women and to see my son behave this way makes me so happy and proud and relieved. The last thing I'd ever want to do is raise a rapist. The cycle has been broken. I'm so grateful rn...
I’m thankful I got to get out and about this weekend to have fun and laugh

After over a week of no escort work, and kicking myself for backing out of a recruitment event for a vanilla job (I figured that I should have just sucked it up), I've had 4 appointments in the last 2 days, my favorite client is coming into town tomorrow night, and I have 2 interviews at better vanilla companies on Thursday and Friday.

My 1st ever, longtimer body rub client came into town tonight. My sister was in need of a quiet place to study so bad that she said that she'd babysit for free, in exchange for being able to study and do her homework here. My daughter was sleeping by the time she got here anyways. I was glad to see longtime client because he always gives body rubs in return and my lower back and legs have been hurting something fierce today. Now I'm all relaxed and can go to sleep.

My client last night ended up giving me 2400 for 4 hours, $300 in gift cards, a bottle of my favorite wine, and a bunch of chocolate. I even actually enjoy spending time with him so it's not like I even feel a NEED to be this highly compensated for my time with him. He tells me over and over how lucky he is to have met me here and I make his business trips something to look forward to. He'll literally listen to me ramble about anything and just thinks I'm fun and hilarious. He is my best client ever.
I had just been thinking the other day that I wished I had put shoes on my Christmas list because I really wanted some new, fun shoes, but they're one of those things I never splurge on for myself. One of the gift cards was $100 to Zappos. I'm so excited to shoe shop!

A client bought a Christmas present for my daughter. It was a pricy one and discontinued, which automatically makes it expensive because it's hard to find. I'm happy that she can have another present to open.

My bf and I decided today that we are going back to the US in January, and we’re going to stay there long term. No more digital nomad-ing, but definitely some more travels. We’re going back to Phoenix first, and then to Portland. He’s super flexible and such a sweet guy... kinda letting me take the wheel and choose where we live. One or my friends has been going on and on about how good we are together, and it’s true. I’m grateful that he’s with me, and that I gave him a chance.

Is Volcom still trendy? I have a Volcom long sleeve I need to turn into a workout top.
Today I'm grateful we have a new restaurant to go to for dinner..
Since I avoid a few in this city so I don't run into co workers from my old day job. Frigging awkward

My fin dom client. I wish I had more than 1 but thanks to him Ive been able to keep this lush gym membership.
This may seem like something to be pissy about but I called my birth father Monday out of curiosity. I asked why I hadn’t heard from him in over a year and he blamed me for it. The more I questioned him about it the more he started to let up and say he would like to get to know me and the kid more. The phone call dropped a few times but he called back each time. He ended the call saying he’d call back before the end of the week. No call. So I blocked his number and remembered sometimes current people are better without them in my life and it has nothing to do with me. The last good thing my sister told me before I cut her off was to appreciate knowing how people really feel about you. You’ll/ I’ll avoid a lot of heartache in 2018 by paying attention to people’s actions rather than their words.

Thankful for abundance during the holidays. Even If I can't buy it myself yet, I can experience it indirectly.
My preferred family member got a limo ride with some friends to an event - and spared me from driving.
Got to watch a pro game in the luxury suites for the first time!
Totally would like to do these types of things more often

Thankful for the old dude. Even though his quirks kind of grate my nerves, I really don't think I've ever had a guy where I could be myself and not feel abandoned. Maybe I always went after the 'unavailable' dudes unwittingly.
Plenty of times where I was like oh if I mess up he's never going to talk to me. Only to be proven wrong.
I guess I am glad there is a guy who is patient with me and I can mostly just be myself.

Im grateful I'm considered hot for my state ( there aren't a lot of young thin women in this region.) I went with boyfriend to buy something at a store geared towards male shoppers & all these guys were checking me out. I know I'm not super hot in my native state but here I'm a hottie. Lol

My dog got sick with diarrhea and didn't really have much of an appetite. It turned out to be not a big deal and was just caused by me switching her to a food that didn't agree with her so im super grateful that that's all that's wrong and im really thankful and happy that I can afford to take her to the vet no big deal and even if it had been something more that would cost a lot of money I would still be able to afford to get her the best care. It just has me thinking back to when I was a kid I remember my dogs getting sick a couple of times and money was an issue and although it always got worked out it was always scary like my mom would have to just barely get the money together and it made an already shitty situation even more stressful. So in short im just super fucking grateful that I make such good money and can just worry about taking care of myself and my pup and not ever have to worry about how im going to afford anything.

One of my regulars is too nice. He's extremely loyal and would tell me whenever he comes visit another girl. He would prefer to see me weekly, but I'm super busy with school so whenever I work and tell him, he would always come for more than an hour. He always tips very well and this summer bought me quite some expensive gifts. This winter he asked me what I wanted for Christmas, but he instead bought me a gift he said it was nothing big, but practical and boring... and it turned out to be a $500 gift card at a high-end local spa on top of the multiple hours he booked... Today he just texted me to tell me to order some gifts for myself from my favorite sex toys brand Lelo and he will refund me next week so I just bought $500 of sex toys lol. I love collecting luxurious toys lmao. I'm really happy because I get paid + the gift card means I wouldn't have to spend my hard-earned money on massages when I need them until the summer at least because I can afford and find time once a month to go get a massage... I have so many toys I no longer buy any but there was actually two new toys I always wanted to try so I'm glad. I could have asked for other gifts but he's extremely generous so I'm sure he will let me pick something expensive after my graduation this May and well although cash is nice, it's nice to receive gifts too !

The optometrist office lost my file so they did another exam for free obviously, but I also got a full box of contacts for each eye free. Aside from the volume I got for free, I really needed contacts in a hurry, so this was definitely a welcome surprise and one less thing to deal with.
