I bought two goose neck lamps at Walmart today in an effort to create some sort of ghetto lighting kit. Now I'm looking at myself on cam (haven't pressed the "start show" button) and I almost want to cry. It looks amazing. I look amazing. Today is going to be awesome.

Yeah ! I booked a massage session and didn't cancel it . I liked him right away ( he set more than the donation down right away ).
So today hotel is covered, club fee covered, and a little profit. It's only 6p.m. leaving lots of time in the club.

Obviously I'll invite him to the club haha.

The manager I work with now is waaaay more positive and encouraging than the last one.

I made several sales calls and meeting with two people who seemed really kind over the phone. Such a change from the grinches who have chip on their shoulders.

I'm grateful I've met a couple of nice ladies in my city. I'm having burgers and beer with one of them this weekend. It'll be nice to get out and socialize plus eat good food. I try to engage in a lot of self care, but I've been slacking on the social medicine aspect so I'm really looking forward to hanging out and shooting the shit.

I get to take my girls to Splashtown this weekend and my bf is going to join us with his 4 yr old daughter. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have some summer fun with my loved ones without feeling guilty about missing a "perfect" cam day. I made my rent so I'm finna have some fun.

I'm grateful for the excellent instructors on The Yoga Collective. This is my second day in a new daily routine of yoga in the AM. Today's session helped me work up a little bit of a sweat. I'm so thankful.

I'm grateful for the Universe nudging me to cam today. I've made so much today I'm kinda floored. LOA says listen and act. I've been acting on gut feelings and good things are happening. So very thankful.

Yasss!!! My sub client came through and called me again today.

He said my financial domination skills were improving lol! }:D

He said he wished we were in the same area and he’d meet me at his atm. Me too dude, me too.......

I miss meeting dudes at the atm.

I just had flashbacks of being at the strip club and watching guys take out wads of cash from the ATM just for me... mmmmm yessss

...Grateful for the concept of "The Lord works in mysterious ways" (I don't personally endorse old fashioned religious views myself but the sentiment applies here-)

Turns out 2 of the states we were looking at moving to for work have been the victims of severe tornado damage in the past several days. Due to a last minute development we backed out of moving to Ohio. The 2nd state was on the table but due to a professional disagreement we wrote that off too.

At the time we were discouraged and frustrated. Now I wonder if those unwanted developments saved us financially or even physically. (Keep in mind our work requires a lot of travel so just being in one location isn't the day to day reality for us.)

I've already been affected by natural disasters. Dealing with FEMA, losing items, being displaced, being scared, etc. Just for the fact I don't want to re-live that, I am glad we stayed put. I feel fortunate that we didn't have to be anywhere near those tornado strike points....

Wracking my brain about renewing my lease because I really want to be living in a house but I’m going to be thankful I have a roof over my head in a decent place in a central location

I haven’t planned out the resources for a relocation

I’m certain that very soon I’ll find a place closer to my idea of a dream home.

I’m glad the lad at the leasing office was nice because they’re usually mean angry wenches

I had chili cooking in the crock pot last night so dinner for today is already done. That's one less thing to worry about.

Thanks.
Yesterday, I was pissed off about our washer.
The B. in the little house in back & her many 'guests'::) use the f* out of it, & now coin box's full. So no washing til it's emptied
When I called, they said it was just emptied a week &1/2 ago?>:(
It's been raining daily here, we're on a flood plain but on a hill too, + TG we're not on ground level.
So no flooding.:)

I took off this week because I had a bunch of vacation time to use up. No big plans. Now that I am on my fifth day out of the office, I am starting to finally relax a little. Me and the doggie are just sitting on the balcony watching the world go by.

My friend seems to be doing alright. She's working at the bicycle shop and apparently is getting rave reviews, and we're looking into WIC and other programs to get her training to get into an actual career. Her youngest for some reason likes to follow my 'refugee' around whenever they're both here, even though she doesn't speak enough English to actually communicate with her and my 'refugee' doesn't speak any Plautdietsch, except know she knows when my friend's daughter is asking her for a glass of water.... she won't ask this of anyone else for some reason.

Back on my Ross dress for less stop reports .... hahah

I always stop if I see them in small towns ( in my city, the good designer purses go in minutes it seems like ).

Black Juicy Purse - $29 ( wtf ? ! ) and a London Fog laptop bag ( gorgeous design with tropical flowers ) $30.

I'm out on the road now with both new bags.

Grateful for a temporary two day home that is way nicer than mine ( traveling for work and always get this same house when I'm in the area ). It's enabling though. I usually just stay here and take baths / lounge.

Thankful for Uber and Lyft. They're gonna keep me afloat this summer now that I have a gap between vanilla jobs. I've made really good money hustling at them fulltime so far this week.

And also thankful for getting back into yoga, because sitting in a car for 8-12 hours a day does a number on my muscles. If anyone is looking for relaxing and easy-to-follow yoga, I recommend Yoga With Adrienne on youtube. I'm doing the 30-day Revolution series right now and really loving it, and have done the 30-day Yoga Camp before. She's informative, her voice is soothing for me, and she's also pretty funny and relaxed and easy to follow along with. She makes it easy to stick with a program. She actually makes me want to be a yoga teacher! lol

I'm grateful that despite bad anxiety today I've cammed almost 5 hrs. I haven't met my daily income goal, but I have put myself on cam and didn't let anxiety dictate my day.

Therapy, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), has taught me not to allow emotions to dictate my days.

I didn't FEEL like camming, but I did anyway. While I didn't earn what I had hoped for, I did earn 62% of goal...and that's something to be proud of.

I am going to do a hip opening session every morning with my online subscription. I here Adrienne is top notch. I saw one of her vids and melted with her kind energy. Right on for getting back on the yoga horse. I myself am and it feels radical.

Nice, warm sunny weather seems here to stay, finally. We did some more house hunting today. Since the weather was so nice we took the motorcycle out. It was my first time on a motorcycle in a long time and although it was scary at first, it was fun.

I went with bf to a motorcycle event. Of course we rode his motorcycle. It started raining lightly on the way there. Luckily it stopped after about 10 minutes and was sunny. On the way back home the sky suddenly got dark and it started raining really hard. I feel safe riding with him because he's an experienced driver but damn, that was a bit scary. It's weird how when we checked the weather forecast beforehand it only showed a rain shower in the morning but nothing for the rest of the day. I am grateful that we made it home safely.
