I'm grateful that I can relax today and not work too hard.
I'm grateful that I am looking at homes in another country, and have the freedom to travel quite a bit over the next few months.

I won an Amazon gift card. It wasn't a high amount but still, every little bit helps towards buying more baby stuff. :)

I am grateful that I have rent money. I struggled to make it these last three months so I am definitely going to give my thanks to the Universe for this.

Aldi's frozen cooked sushi. I was hesitant to try it but to my surprise it's actually quite yummy. I get to indulge in sushi while not feeling guilty about it being raw and potentially dangerous.

My car's sloppy gearbox turned out to be software related only! Just out of warranty and I was seeing the potential of some big expenses.

A bit of grocery shopping today
Had an interview where the manager said he would offer me a position (not sure I’ll take it though)
Got tipped well for my orders.

I just tried Aldi's ravioli.
It was so delicious, that I went back and bought the mushroom/ truffle, which I made yesterday.
Unbelievably delicious!!
It says that it was imported from Italy.
Just when I thought Aldi couldn't get any better, it upped the ante.
Better than any restaurant ravioli I've eaten.
I am so incredibly grateful for Aldi.
I bought an entire week's worth of groceries for less than $30!

I'm so grateful that I was able to pay my bills and get caught up last week. Now that my husband is working again, I can finally breathe and not stress this week. I'm grateful to be able to take this week and relax, work minimal hours and make whatever I make. Then, use my saved up energy to kick ass next week!
I'm grateful that I finally had the money to buy my baby some clothes and a new mattress for his crib. It feels so good when I see him run around in his new outfits, knowing that he's warm and comfortable. And so cute!
I'm grateful for camming. Even though I have days that make me want to scream, I still have the ability to work around my families schedule and my mental illness. I'm making good money and I'm being a lazy bum, all at the same time.
I'm grateful for my husbands new job. Not only does it pay amazingly well, but he loves it! He's awesome at it and even though he's only been there for a month, he's already putting himself in the position to be promoted!
Thank you universe!

Had some good food today
Got some extra sleep
God some laundry done
And washed my hair
I went for a quick walk in a neighborhood full of 200-300k homes and could envision myself walking my infant around like the stay at home moms do at 9:3 every morning

I was being my own version of frugal and skipped the $10 mani add on and bought a similar color at the drugstore for my own mani. Haha.
Also .... Greek food today , omg.

I'm grateful to going through my health issues while being young and fairly strong. Others in the doctor's office are old, frail and in wheelchairs. I really don't have too much complain about compared to so others I've seen.

My bf finally bought a car today. After Hurricane Harvey swept his brand new vehicle away in the flood and a series of work related issues (centered around his work-related injury) ......he deserves this. So proud of him. Paid for in cash and the thing looks gorgeous. If anyone knows how hard he's had it it would definitely be me. I'm excited like it's my damn car :dance:
It'll feel weird, not sharing my car with him anymore.

I'm grateful to be having a good day! Called all my credit card and utility companies because I have a suspicious amount of extra money in my bank account and I was concerned that I forgot to pay a bill, but no, I paid everything I need to and I'm just rolling in the dough ;D

I just discovered that I can use earbuds in my phone to watch TV, using my Roku app.
Now, when my neighbors start slamming doors and cabinets ( which happens all afternoon into the late night), I can block the noise out.
Roku app even has the remote right there on my phone, and even has voice activation!
I'm so grateful that I live in a time, where technology is so advanced.52181
I remember a time when there were only 3 channels. And I had to get up and walk over to the TV to change them.
With Roku, I get 500,000 channels, which keeps growing by the day.}:D

I was having what I thought might be contractions, along with nausea and was getting worried. I went to hospital and all is well. Baby is fine. I'm only 6 months pregnant and I don't want to have a micropreemie baby so it's a relief to me that it doesn't look like she's going to come soon. I'm grateful for that.

Ikr? Same here. I've had mine for a year and a half too!
I only just found out, because someone in my introvert group mentioned it.
Better late than never, I suppose.
Did you know that we can have our own channel on there too?
A paying channel?
I'm looking into it, since camming, etc will be outlawed in Jan. for those of us who live in CA.
Eventually the entire country.

Alright, I'm technically 83 cents away from having all that I need for my light bill but I just want to come here and give (early) thanks for the fact that I paid all of my bills this month without having to borrow any money. AND there are still 8 days left in this month. So whatever I make from this point can be used to get me ahead for next month. So grateful.

Oh yeah, I can definitely see them banning porn in the whole country. Congress can barely get anything done, so we have that going for us. It’d probably be like marijuana and abortion a state by state law, so I wouldn’t worry too much. Hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.
I’m grateful for good friends.

I'm referring to California law AB5, prohibiting independent contractors( which all of camming and pso/ clips are). ( An entire thread is up in the CC section).
It goes into effect Jan 1
Eventually it will be a federal law. I see that Illinois and New York are already getting on the bandwagon.
I wish I knew about this earlier.
2 months is not enough time to find another job that pays as well as camming.
So, since this is the gratitude thread.......:thinking:. I'm grateful that I still kept my ' hooker' shoes.
I have a feeling I'm going to need them.

Either camming will stay legal in Texas for the two years I need it to be, before I start working in a hospital somewhere, OR I'll just be doing some illegal shit until those two years are up. I have to log on, period.

So grateful that I found the Egglettes at the dollar store for only a dollar.
I've been watching the informercial on them for a while. Peeling eggs has always been a big hassle.
I used it yesterday. Easy peasy.
It even comes with a recipe book.
I'm also grateful ( for the hundredth time), for Aldi.
I bought a huge rack of baby back ribs, a pound of ground beef, canned goods, milk, eggs, etc....
A week's worth of groceries for $49. Now... THAT'S something to be excited about!
