Twisted around his tongue, how does that even happen? I'm glad he's doing okay.

I'm not sure what happened, but I have started using the same harness with only the front clip instead of front and back together and I like that set up a lot. Still helps with pulling and he can't wiggle out of the harness like he did with two other ones. We even passed two deer yesterday and he was going bonkers and whining but couldn't get away from me.

Took my math test this morning and I got my first '100' !!! These tests have been whooping my ass.

Also decided to put studying and everything else completely to the side for the rest of the day and just give myself a serious brain break. I'll be making my highly fertile Sim sleep with every man she can find and stress over who the baby daddy might be. because it's hilarious and I need to do something completely pointless.

Got a full-time job with Amazon. Not really what I wanted to do with my life, and I work every Saturday, but the pay is good, I'll get benefits, and it's in the warehouse, so I don't have to do anything in customer service. Hubby is going to enlist in the military by the end of summer, so it's not like it's forever. But I'll finally have some real stability back for the rest of the time we're here.

Grateful a friend of my boyfriend's (I'll call him Steven) is being nice to me and extending an olive branch of friendship after he was rude to me for no fucking reason.

I think our differences were a sad comedy of misunderstandings and I can forgive Steven for being low class and slow to catch on to some obvious truths between us.

Also grateful for Asian food, yum!!!

I have to get back into eating veggie burgers....We're supposed to get a new Costco store nearby so I'll finally be able to stock up on those again.

Grateful for time to relax this morning.

Today marks my last day to get on cam. I have this weird impulse to log on as if I'm about to leave something good behind. But I think it's just my need to do things for the last time.

When I move out of an apartment I make a point of looking through every room before relinquishing the keys. Before I leave a job, I quietly think to myself "this is one of the last customers I'll have to fake smile at here". Before getting a new car I pay extra attention to all of the pros and cons of the one I'm currently driving AS I drive to the car lot. I just appreciate new chapters and try to close out the last one with finality.

But nah. As much as I'd like to sign into streamate and say "this is my last day on, guyyyyyyssss" none of those dudes actually care lol. And I'd rather do homework. Grateful for camming. It fed my kids for two years and saved me from homelessness. Grateful for the existence of more than just cam.

I’m grateful AF for my living situation. Moved in with my dude finally after 2 years, and he’s been absolutely amazing so far. My move wiped me out financially, so for now, while I recover, he’s paying all the bills etc, and not demanding I pay them back. It’s the type of stability I’ve craved, forever. Finally I have someone to catch me if I fall, and won’t end up on my ass if m earnings take a hit for some reason.


I’m also insanely grateful to be able to work during this time, and recover financially. Work from home camming has been a life saver.

J was very sweet. He crossed a state border and knows I love Lotto and came back with TEN scratch off tickets.
He was playing the piano ( I love hearing him play ) and I was scratching at that time for luck.
4 of the lines on this ticket won something !
Too bad it was $2-$5 per line. Haha. BUT ....... just the fact that he stopped to get me a little gift is so sweet.

Food taste better when some else makes it!

I’m grateful for my circumstances. My future goals haven’t really been effected by the pandemic. I’ve lost money, but it’s not like I lost everything. There’s people that put their life into a small business. Now it’s just gone. There’s always someone doing better, or someone doing worse. That’s why it’s important to be grateful for everything I have and to be present. I have no idea what anyone’s journey is about not does anyone else know what my journey is about.

Just, instead of bringing the truck here, we order in advance and it gets delivered.

Aren’t you badass! I need to YouTube how to repair my bike. I always end up taking stuff to a shop, but I bet if I just tried I could do a lot more by myself and save some money in the process.

Depends on what you’re trying to do. I have a friend who does that, and I’m pretty mechanically inclined, working in a heavy equipment shop and all, but I look at her tool assortment and find myself completely baffled at what half of it is. I do have an idea of the cost of all of it, and it’s just like tools I use at work, where there’s a lot you’re not going to buy for the sake of simply using it once or twice in your lifetime.

Today I’m actually low key grateful that all fast food and restaurant places have been closed since we went into lockdown 6 weeks ago. I’ve been rediscovering my passion for cooking, as well as getting rid of so many bad cravings I’ve had since forever. It may sound extreme, but I doubt I’ll ever use uber eats unless in case of emergency or in rare occasions. This time has shown me how much unnecessary stuff life has, and I’m grateful to be streamlining.

My dream is that the Canadians had taken cues from the Mexicans, and opened up poutine trucks here. Granted, there is one truck that does something along similar lines… French fries with cheese and smothered in green chili. But it’s spicy, and I don’t handle that well.

Is it weird to be grateful for a random chain restaurant ?
I feel like they put out a really nice $9 dinner and it's only 1.5 miles from my house sit.

So there’s a day every year where I isolate myself from everyone. It’s an anniversary day, and this year was the ten year milestone. I pretty much ask everyone to leave me alone, lock myself away, and just kinda wallow in depression. Someone this year took it upon themselves to interrupt me, get me to open up about it a little, and just be there for me. I feel a little uncertain fully how I feel about it, both because I’ve settled into my routine for that day each year and they subverted that effectively, but other reasons also. But I was grateful they were there, that they cared enough to do that. Does leave me feeling a little conflicted looking back at it, but right then, right there, any misgivings about the whole situation was far removed from my mind.
