Awesome experience at church with very lively inspirational choir. I got emotional.
Good food with family members.
Attracted the amount of money I needed to pay utility bill just in the right time.
Talked with a nice lady who I hadn’t seen in in while. A parent who forces her daughter to swim lol to stay in shape.

Grateful that I won't be working that job after all. It would have made school and life in general just impossible.

That is something to be grateful for.
Temps went back up to 112 degrees,( gross), and I was sooo not in the mood to go food shopping.
Grateful for Walmart delivery service.
I love love love them!!!
The driver showed up with his very pregnant wife.
He had her lugging around my heavy groceries. During the hottest part of the day too!
I'm grateful for keeping my mouth shut.:toldoff::x:
Because I really wanted to cuss him out for doing that.
Reason number 5000,0000 why I chose to be single.
51910
He might have been "babysitting" her in case her delivery date is near...some guys get really protective and overly affected by that, to the point where they get thrown out of the maternity ward when the delivery date comes.....
I am grateful for- chronic illness helping me lose weight so I can fit into my favorite leather jacket.

So grateful that, after Starbucks made a mistake with my drink order at the drive thru, I decided to try and correct it.
I usually just drink it anyway. But, it was too disgusting to do that.:biting::biting:
I stopped to pee at a supermarket that has a Starbucks inside.
Thought, while I'm there, why not ask for the barista to fix my drink.
He did one better, and made me a fresh drink.
The original barista that fucked up, made me a venti, even though I ordered a grande.
Now, I have a Starbucks for today!
Score!

Super grateful I had one can left of sardines in louisiana hot sauce in the pantry as I was craving it. Got very excited as the asparagus were lightly frying in extra virgin olive oil. Then I threw in the sardines. Topped the small serving with vegan sauerkraut and half an avocado. Washed it down with 20 oz water.
Now I'll have excellent energy for the next three hours. So very thankful.

Well damn ..... I don't want to jinx myself but it is looking like the day job may make most of what I need meaning that the two days I did in the club earlier in the month might be enough for the whole month.
I was feeling ready for a dancer break but I'm not sure if I should take it and enjoy it or just go up and enjoy the vibe of not really NEEDING the $ ( which sometimes results in the most fun nights ). Not sure what I'll do yet but I'll take it !
I hesitate to say anything ( scared of a jinx on a sale ) but I am feeling happy about just accepting a " good " phase with both hustles.
+ $2 tacos !

Thankful for the papa johns pizza
Customer paying for order sooner than the predicted
Internet and YouTube to watch trainings that people give away for free
Watching the sunset as I drove home
Watch a sports game at a luxurious stadium - their guest bathroom had marble counters and the outdoor water fountain was cold, tasted like filtered water

Nearly lost a friend after some drama and we're barely speaking rn, but they've been quietly updating the spotify playlist they made for me with new songs so I know we're still ok despite things being different. :hug:
Also, cider and old reality TV helping me get thru my period.

The girls that work at the adult store here, are also helpful, and very sweet.
However, the store is extremely overpriced though.
When my (original) Hitachi broke ( which nobody makes anymore). I decided to take the advice of some gay guys on where to get a new one.
It was an adult bookstore, a.k.a. jerk off booths, that also sells sex toys.
The salesman couldn't have been more helpful.
He even unplugged their mini refrigerator to plug in the vibrators, so I could check out the strength of each one. Lol!
All, while dudes were coming out of the jack off booths.:rotfl:
Hilarious!!
And you know what?
I found the BEST vibrator there, that I've ever had!
The BEST!!!
It was trippy watching the faces of all the men in the parking lot, when I was leaving too.
Now, THAT'S customer service for ya!:)

Paid spa day tomorrow. They’re doing a fundraising open house this weekend at the equestrian center, so vanilla work has been pretty boring this week, but I’m getting pampered tomorrow, as I’m one of the ones who plays hostess at these things. Which is good, because the underside of my fingernails are pretty dirty.

I got ahold of the recruiter who initially blew me off. She apologized and said her daughter has been fighting a virus. I think if I hadn't gone and tried to reschedule it after the first miss, she might not have gotten back to me at all after so many days, so I'm glad I took the chance. I have an interview with the manager on Monday, and I think this could be a good opportunity.

Trying to make my resume more marketable by learning some office computer skills through lynda.com (now linkedinlearning.com, I guess, though I remember it from back when it was lynda lol). I'm looking to become a certified Microsoft Office Specialist, and in my first hour or so of just "learning" Word, I've learned so many cool things about it that have helped me in personal documents. I used to kinda laugh, like "who doesn't know how to use Word or Powerpoint" or whatever, but there's actually a lot of hidden gems in there to make a ton of things nicer-looking and easier. I'm enjoying learning again.

Wow! That IS something to be grateful for.
I've never heard of a landlord giving back the entire deposit.
They usually always take out painting costs at the very least.
What a blessing!:thumbsup:
I'm grateful for having the money to grocery shop at Gelsons.
I really don't feel like cooking.
Their deli is beyond fresh and yummy.
I'm grateful, that as I was walking out of the store, I didn't get hit by an oncoming car.
The driver clearly saw me.
Luckily I realized that she wasn't going to stop, so I did.
Distracted much?
I am grateful for my angels ( My Mom), that were watching over me.
Because that could have gone south in a matter of seconds.

I'm grateful that my daughter let me take a nap. She even turned down the volume on the tv, I noticed because when I woke up it was quiet. She was watching a movie with subtitles on. I never even taught or told her to do that. Wow

Talking to my former roommate, and I found out he’s been tobacco-free for two months now.
I like his idea… every week he goes without, he ‘pays himself’ $50 (an estimation of the amount he spent on cigarettes) and puts it into his Venmo account.

I should have honestly Uber-ed today, but I wanted to spend more time with my stepkids. The 7 year-old has been acting out at both homes, and I know he's still not 100% comfortable with me, and I just feel like most of my time spent with them is yelling at them not to do crap. We had a really good day. They both wanted to play games with me all day, we got ice cream, went for a hike and did Pokemon Go together. I'm glad we bonded this weekend.

Meeting with a broker firm went really well today. I'm planning to get my real estate license by December and start working for them. After talking to them today, I'm really excited to get back into sales. I've done very well at every sales job I've ever had, and marketing excites me. I think I could put a lot into it and make good money.
During the meeting, I referenced my first sales job a lot to relate to what he was saying, but internally, a lot of it applied to stripping and escorting as well lol

Of all the things to be grateful for, this is the one.^^^^^^^
I foolishly went grocery shopping twice in the past week, and pulled out my back lifting the bags.:'(
I have been told by all of my doctors that lifting is a no no, due to my back condition.
IDK. Some days I feel so strong, and I always end up paying for it. ( As I sit here with an ice pack on my lower back).
Anyhoo, I'm sooo grateful that I'm not being bothered this week.
I'm participating in that SM contest. With the insane amount of hours and energy I need to muster up. The last thing I need is for ' friends' to rapid text me.
I definitely made some enemies in stopping their inconsiderate behavior.
But, it's so worth it.
I'm already half way to my goal, with 3 more days left.
So grateful to be left alone.:pray::meditate:
