I'm grateful that even though this year has NOT gone as planned... and some of my hopes and dreams of travel have been crushed... I now get to go visit my new boyfriend in England, and live there for the foreseeable future. A different adventure. Some complications, but overall, a different dream I never expected.

Called a debt relief service today, and finally feel really hopeful about finances. With my new full-time income and the smaller payments to them, I can actually get out of debt in a few years with disposable income left over. And no penalty for paying more every month and paying it off faster - so if I start picking up overtime, I can put it toward that or actually just have money to start enjoying life again! Freedom from the credit cards... feels so fucking good.

Submitting my first offer on a house for some buyers! It will be competitive so I really hope they get it. They've been anxious. Plus, having a nice extra paycheck from my first closing in a few weeks would be so nice.

S’s girlfriend has really grown on me. She’s down to earth, responsible, thoughtful, and she keeps S in line, which surprised me, because I figured S would be the one who ‘wore the pants’ in that relationship. It’s funny to watch, because S might get a little antsy, and her girlfriend just gives her this look, and S settles right down.

It’s difficult for me to advocate such a relationship… growing up, it was something so taboo as to not even be spoken of, and you can’t just change the things from the only way of life you’d ever known on a whim. But, I think also that my parents put more emphasis towards me becoming the ideal little Mennonite housewife than they did with my sister, and also my sister was a bit more outgoing in regards to our ‘English’ classmates than I was, so it was much easier for her to be accepting. But I think these two are good for each other. I told S she’d better not fuck it up.

I am glad to have these two here. Funnily enough, they’re often the voice of reason when I’m not feeling reasonable myself.

So grateful I got my buyers an accepted offer on a house yesterday! These people were a headache - unrealistic first-time buyers. Needed a very large house for a very tight budget, and were unrealistically nit-picky about every little thing when we'd look at anything that fit their criteria. Like, they really didn't understand that they weren't gonna get a 4-bedroom house, new, with no problems, for 140K... We almost didn't get this one that fit the bill almost-perfectly, but decided to go super aggressive on making an offer before they even allowed showings. I'm glad we did because 1) I think being the first offer was the clincher, and 2) I think they would have talked their way out of this house if they had seen it before making the offer, for stupid, petty reasons, like they did with everything else. I'm just so glad that house search is over.

I have been taking a step back from real estate since everything went bonkers. Getting into showings is rough, and everything I could do to get more clients went dark right now. So I got the new full-time job. I already work 64 hours a week, but I had these clients leftover that I couldn't just ditch. I have spent every day off, as well as my measly lunch breaks, and my short evenings after work, working on trying to find them a house. I am so tired. Literally, after I put in that offer, knowing it was a long-shot, I stood in front of the mirror and said, "I'm done. I know I can work hard, but I don't want to anymore right now. I'm ready to stop plowing along, and ready for the universe to just carry me for awhile. I'm done forcing things. Just let the universe take care of things and let them be easy. Give me what I want and need right now." Looks like it worked. :)

He just called me. I was right. He did have a heart attack. He called me to thank me for saving his life and to let me know that he's okay. They put a stent in. I'm so relieved that he survived the heart attack.

Meal-prepped today and feel good about having healthy food for the rest of the week. Also have a lot of apples and bananas for breakfasts and snacks. Got back on track with working out yesterday too. I gained some weight back, and I'm ready for it to go away.

Also can't wait to get back to the gym to tan. I looked at myself in the sun yesterday, and I'm so white! I'm translucent...

I have oregano and dill growing in my little garden. I get excited about such things because I don't really have a green thumb. My tulips only lived for a few days. My lilac tree died after 3 days and everything else never sprouted or anything. The weather has been so bipolar here between being 80+, raining, and then cold. Seeing the plants growing gives me some hope.

same here. it’s not a tax write off, so I’ll do it myself

The hot young guy at the used textbook store gave me more on my textbook than he quoted me on the phone. I think it was my milf magic. I love getting free stuff cause I’m hot.

Grateful we’ll be able to do our beach trip over 4th of July weekend again this year. My friend’s kids have been super stoked about going back, because last year was the first time they’d ever been to the beach, and I think it was a first for her also. I mean, we’re from the upstate part of Wisconsin, so a ‘beach’ there is just an artificial sandbank built at the edge of a lake. It was nice to see her and the kids play together and just enjoy themselves, and just being there to see things stabilize for them after her husband passed away has been in a sense rewarding. I think this year we need to get some body boards because they saw others doing that and you could tell they wanted to, even though they didn’t actually ask to. And she could use some sun anyhow, try to maybe even out that farmer’s tan she has going on.

I’ve been doing a lot of picnics at the park. I’m spending a lot of time outside-it’s safe and cheap to do things outside.

I’m grateful to have a day off. I think I’m gonna read a good book.

Grateful I finally got my husband to agree to stick to a meal plan. He's been trying to lose weight the last few weeks, and was talking last night about how it's not shedding like it used to when he was younger and do the same things. So, I convinced him that it would probably really help to make and stick to a set meal plan, instead of doing the hodge-podge eating that he does now - like, maybe he has breakfast/maybe not/maybe he swings through Chick-fil-a because of work, maybe he brings something healthy for lunch/maybe he brings a PB&J/maybe he just stops at the gas station, maybe he stops for snacks during work/maybe he's good, maybe he eats the healthy meals I prepped for dinner/maybe he just has chicken nuggets and fries with the kids/then he eats the leftover chicken nuggets and fries for the next 2-3 days...

He agreed, and this really will help me out too. I get so frustrated trying to meal prep. He'll say he wants to eats healthier with me, but then will completely ignore all the stuff I make for him for a straight week. Then, I'm either completely off on my own meal-planning, because I have an ass-ton of leftovers, or I end up throwing away a lot of food that spoiled. Then, the next time, I only make enough for myself, and suddenly he'll eat half of it, leaving me to dick around and probably get takeout for the second half of the week because I'm out of food. It's also just hard to sit down and eat my salad when he's sitting there eating tater tots and hot dogs with the kids every other night. I end up caving sooner or later.
