I'm grateful that after a long, scary, exhausting, and difficult 11 hours my daughter has made it into the world. She's only 6lbs,15 oz and 19 inches long but it was very difficult pushing her out. I feel so much relief now.
Congratulations

As of today, my lease is finally month to month. That sweet, sweet lack of commitment. Love it.

I'm feeling very optimistic today. Hopefully I can make the remaining $300 that I need because only god knows what traffic is going to look like on Super Bowl Sunday. I'm not about to take chances.

In 5 weeks, I will have been at my company for 3 calendar years. March 2017 - Feb 2020. That is a lot of commitment for me. My longest tenure before this was 2 years 7 months. This is also the longest that I've lived on the same apartment.
It's been 3 years now!
Plus, after my dog was bad at the dog park, I signed him up for a doggie day care, thinking professionals could help socialize him. I kept the appointment after we found a better dog park, cause the first day is free, and I think it would be a nice treat for him occasionally. His trial run was today, and I bet I made the employees crazy acting like I was leaving a human infant. Anyway they all humored me and when I picked him up ,they said he was really good and really playful! And I believe he it, he is usually a looney tune at night but he's fast asleep right now.

I accepted a job offer with my dream firm last week and will be retiring officially in 6 months, if not earlier. I might take some appointments with regulars here and there one evening a week if I even have time, but I will see if it’s worth it or not. Also resolved amicably with the firm where I was sexually harassed. Very happy about the outcome. Hoping all background check will go smoothly. I will be working at the same firm where I know one of the paralegals used to be a very high end escort in my city, so hopefully everything will go smoothly for me too!

I need some gratitude in my life. I’m grateful my neighbors are friendly, but not nosy. I’m grateful I live in a place that’s affordable and safe. I’m grateful for the few people that love me and accept me. I’m grateful the winter has been relatively mild.

Bf/BD watched the baby and let me sleep from 10pm-4am. Even though it wasn't super long, I'm glad for that sleep.

YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Today is already the best day of my entire year.
I was one of the 15 students accepted into the DMS program out of god knows how many applicants. The program director had to email me since my phone has been off. Imagine if they'd been impatient enough to not even bother and just moved on to the next person? Thank you Universe. Finally!
I'm looking my exit plan from the camming world right in the eye. I could cry, really.

I've had a lot of friends come and go, while traveling. But one of my guy friends invited me over for a game night tomorrow, and I'm really excited! I don't often do things like that, and it's a chance to meet some new people. Yay!

I can't wait for my new tip vibe to come in tomorrow, I really wanna be done with faking every reaction. I have to keep my eyes on the screen to see when tips come in or I'll miss my opportunity to fake it and that's stressful.
Grateful that it's coming in so soon because I didn't order it until Friday evening.

Just deleted a gripe I made in the camming sucks thread because sometimes I sound entitled asf and I need to take a step back and appreciate what I have.
I'm $80 bucks away from the bills that I wanted to pay this week and, considering that nothing is due this week, that is cause to be grateful.

I'm thankful for pizza and ice cream. I'm able to eat them again since I no longer have gestational diabetes. I'm grateful for both.

I started dieting in October and was having great results. But gained some weight back over the holidays and traveling internationally in January. I've been fairly good about meal prep and adhering to macros since I got back, but not crazy strict. I thought I was stagnating around the same weight for the last several weeks...I didn't love that but was resigned to it. Today I weighed myself for the first time in a couple weeks and I'm actually below where I got to in December! Yay progress

Down 6 pounds this week and feeling great about it.
Ate out yesterday for the first time in a week but was still good about ordering vegan chia seed pudding and vegan pizza. I don’t feel bloated today.
Also spent a really nice afternoon and evening with hubby after an extremely long week of work and him feeling like I was being distant (I’m not distant, just incredibly busy and tired).

I feel really good today. For no real reason in particular. I just feel energetic. Both my workouts were dynamite. I got a ton of creative writing down. Making banana bread for the first time ever. It’s just been a good day.

I’m greatly for a good weekend at work. I had a pretty good day, There’s no drama in my life and that’s how I like it. I’m grateful the weather has been nice. I’m grateful I have food in my house and a roof over my head. I’m richer than most of the people in the world.

Work seminar the last couple of days was legitimately great. Most free seminars are just barely informative enough to try to get you to buy the expensive product. And while they did talk about it at the end, the info in the seminar wasn't worthless. Far from it. It was a full two days full of awesome information.

A former client paid/overpaid my DTE bill. I was freaking out when I saw my bill reading at -$148 because I was thinking that I owed that much. I was tripping out because I always pay everything at the beginning of the month.

I no longer work just because a bill is due so I’m grateful for the lack of stress.
Although we were hit with a hard ball right at the beginning of the year, I’m grateful that my daughter doesn’t have a terminal illness, if she has to have one at all.
I live an hour away from my family and I’m grateful to be close enough to them relationship-wise that they would drive down to see me as quickly as I would drive to see them.
I see more than just camming in my future and that gives me a surplus of positive vibes.
