Now that I know it’ll be only $500 a week ( for me at best ) I just want my normal income back badly.

I’m grateful to have to work full time. I actually miss working full time. I’m grateful I have the health and the willingness to create more abundance in my life.
Thank you! When I look back, I smile because I llived my life the way I wanted.

I'm also grateful for my grocery shopping gig. Even though I want to go out right now and make money, I'm choosing to stay at home because I don't want to go to a crowded store and pick up covid. So I'm going to head out tonight and make money when the stores are quieter and less crowded. It reduces my anxiety and I just feel better doing things this way.
The director I work with in Los Angeles texted me and wished me a happy New Year. This is a good sign. He mentioned earlier that he would have more work for me in the coming year and I'm very excited to start this new chapter in my career!
My plan is to collect unemployment and finish writing my book so that by the time I have it published on Amazon, I can give the director ( he knows I'm writing a book) and maybe a few of my co-workers a copy of my book so that it can start circulating around Hollywood. I also want to send a copy of my book to a producer I'm hoping to work with. This way I can sell some of the rights to my book as it becomes a film, and I'll have on- set experience so I can work on the film as well!

That's great!
I know they been reaching out to me, between my pt office job, & camming, Im overwhelmed.
I plan to do it, tho, when Im ready, hopefully they still keep me on..my office was pretty much closed the past week, probably busy next week.
Which, brings me to: really grateful for that job & camming too.

Shipt will keep you on. You just do it when it's convenient for you. I signed on a year ago, made 2 deliveries in December. Didn't do any more until March when my club was closed. I think once you are signed on, you can work whenever. So I don't think you have anything to worry about. They are a good company and I like them a lot.

Today will be the last day I have to do my grocery getting gig for a while. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to work on finishing my book and start getting it ready to put out on Amazon. I'm launching it summer 2021. I'm very excited! I'm taking the most horrible things that have happened to me and turning it all into a positive and although I'm a little scared, I have to do what I have to do.

Grateful for a sex positive accountant that doesn’t make me feel ashamed.
Also, met with an old coach that has been really supportive when I danced. I didn’t tell him I cam now (just cause he’s a Christian married man), but he’s always been really supportive of my goals.
I’m grateful for people that are supportive and treat me with respect.

I found out today that someone from my high school who had much more impact on my life than he ever could’ve realized had died a few years back. It also ties in to why I listen to and play the music that I do. My roots as a musician aren’t in metal - they’re in hardcore punk. And it all boils down to a fateful day when he says to me, “Listen to this”, expecting me to react adversely to it and be freaked out by it. But I was kinda enthralled by it, instead. The messages in their songs, and how they failed against authority. It was all so foreign to me, as the Mennonite life is one of subservience. And it was just this confirmation of the inclinations I was feeling and suppressing. And that’s what really put the idea in my head that life could be something other than what my parents and community elders had decided it was going to be, and that’s where I found the resolve to just go out and pursue it. Once he realized I was getting into it, he’d burn CD-Rs of mp3s to give to me, and I’d load them into the little MP3 player an English friend had given me after she’d gotten an iPod. And that song came across my Spotify playlist today, and it made me think of him and think maybe I should see if I could get in touch with him, because if he thought it was funny how I took a liking to the music he liked, he’d really get a kick out of learning of the stuff I’d recorded. That’s when I found out he was killed by a drunk driver in 2017. I’m feeling really sad right now, but grateful at the same time for the people who’ve been in my life and those who continue to be, whether it be life or a big hallucination.

Woke up in a panic. Thoughts chaotic. I stopped, put in a gratitude meditation, breathed, and just spoke really kindly to myself.
I'm super grateful I'm nice to myself. I really have no one here but myself, and it's good to know we are both on the same side...of love.

Had a good talk with a friend where I ranted about everything that has been happening lately. I originally said that not much was going on, and then went off for almost an hour. When I was done, I realized SO much shit has culminated in stressful situations that have yet to be fully resolved, in only the last couple of weeks. Right when you're supposed to be enjoying the holidays and trying to start fresh with a new year. So, I was like, well, holy shit, no wonder I've been having mini breakdowns. It made me feel like I wasn't just a weak piece of shit, but like, oh yeah, my life IS super hard right now so no kidding I'm using all my mental energy just to deal with everything.

I have been hauling ass to and from my car every morning and night for three years, because I couldn't park in the apartment complex lot because I never switched my registration and license address. But now an intra state address transfer within my home state only took 5 minutes online and it was free. Beautiful.

For washing my hostage aka my dog lol. He's dirty and treats bathing like it's traumatic as I chase him around when he realizes he's getting a bath. I even have to lock the electric dog door knowing what he's gonna do....run! LOLLL
I remember how calm my big dog was and would lay next to the bath tub and go in the tub with me when I was doing clay and epsom salt bath soaks back when I was renting LOL. The other dog is like a cat when it comes to water.

Grateful I passed my license renewal check flight :)
Not that I actually didn't think I would pass, but you never know, and I have never liked exams and checks and tends to get nervous.
To be honest the flight went really well and I actually think the flight examiner was impressed with my flying, but not that impressed when it came to my theoretical knowledge.. :confused: :eek: :-[

I got the santal scent(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084WKW6F7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I love it and recommend it, BUT it is musky. I love muskier, darker, 'mysterious' scents so it's perfect for me, but if you like really light, fresh, or girly scents I would not recommend it.
