Cuddling with mister needy dog at home. I want to cuddle/nap and regroup before attempting to work again.

I'm not paying for a room right now after yesterday and this mornings BS...I have bills too. Just got a message the gas bill was 333-ish dollars. No clue why or if it was the new central AC/Heater related.

I am so thankful I got some Starbucks today....and the barista finally made it how I like it (layers bitch, layers! lol)

I am happy I am connecting with clients who want and can afford to do business with me

I am thankful I can pay all my expenses, save/invest, spend and still have enough to give to others

Thank heavens my partner is getting better at pleasing me sexually and taking action steps to become more financially abundant

1. My parents for loaning us more money after insurance fucked us over.

2. I realized today that the good plasma donation center that used to be too far away to justify driving to is now going to be a 15-minute straight shot from my new apartment. I made my first appointment for Sunday to get set up there. It'll be nice extra money.

Car guys. Today I towed a 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. When it comes to cars like that, I pull out all the stops. I take the chain v-bridle with cluster hooks off and put on my own nylon self-securing v-bridle so I’m not throwing iron on those cars, then I measure the bumper height and distance from the bumper to the axle to ensure it won’t scrape on the bed, and use graduated ramps to prevent it from happening if need be. Then I take my old Army issue towels, put them around any part of the wire rope which could possibly come into contact with the car and secure it with zip ties (yes, I have those, but not the Prusik handcuff type). I put old washcloths over the whitewalls of the tires where the tire straps go over it, then I put a non-fitted car cover over the whole thing and scrunch the excess over the back to keep it from flapping around. Guy tipped me $400. I feel kinda bad for the trainee I had yesterday. On the commercial side, we run Freightliner M2-106s, which require a CDL. The tow trucks on the dedicated AAA side don’t, so they wanted him to get some training in the trucks he’d actually be in, so he’s with someone else today. I split my tips with him yesterday and would’ve today, but instead I’m running solo today.

The icing on the cake… he requested me by name, because a guy whose 64-1/2 Mustang I towed recommended it over a specialty car carrier who would’ve charged him over twice what he tipped me.

I’m thankful L is going back to work. So he can have the funds to take me out on Valentine’s

I’m thankful my cellphone company finally reimbursed me for the overpayment.

I’m glad a client took initiative & did business with me today.

Grateful I met a nice guy to spend time with. I don't rebound, but spending time with a nice guy is pleasant and a healthy distraction since his love languages are the same as mine and he's got a secure attachment style.

I got all my reviews down. :)!!! I don't like reading people's commentary on me even if it is good or bad. I'm doing the best I can. People sometimes say it is either good or bad of an appointment with me. YEAHHHH....I am not a robot. Goodbye to 153 reviews.

This is the type of customer I'm dealing with....just yesterday "look I'm trying to make this work."
.....OK. I'm not hunkered down at my laptop desperately refreshing my page at my house. It was an hour until I responded and never heard back. This is not an emergency and I'm still available. I don't want to spend money on a room and driver for a faux vacation where I wind up angry because nobody showed up.

Hunkering down at home waiting for the trash pickup to come by. I missed it last time because I wasn't home in time. I'm all sitting here like "yeah you get that trash!" Hahaha. My trash was so full and I was nervous I'd have nowhere to put it if they missed it for a 3rd week.

Sometimes they come at 4pm but the past 2 weeks it's been 9am

I'm grateful for getting my certificate for dui completion class at the end of next month so I can move forward. 18 months of that class almost done! Gonna go to court and see if I can get probation removed in March or April depending on what my attorney says. It's out of the specialties that my father is able to do regarding nursing. So excited!!

I was triggered and thinking of what I’m grateful usually helps

Grateful for a place to live. Grateful to have a safe place to make money from home. I’m grateful my mom is healthy. I’m grateful my friend survived COVID. I’m grateful I haven’t got sick. I’m grateful to live in a safe part of the country without a lot of crime, so I really don’t have to worry. I’m grateful it’s a new year and we at least have a vaccine. Even though this doesn’t negate my suffering, in the grand scheme of things I’m doing okay considering people who have lost their life and businesses. I’ve had some major life set backs, but with time and tenacity I should be able to get where I want to be eventually. I’m just going to surrender and have faith instead of fear that everything will be okay

I’m grateful I can work. I was worried that i wouldn’t be able to work, but the doctor said I can. I had a pretty good week. I do think I’ll start making it to a thousand a week soon, but I don’t want to over do it and have a relapse. I’ll work as much as I can. I’ll probably pick up phone work as i won’t use my hands. I think I’ll eventually heal-it’ll take time. I’ll get back to competitive weight lifting again. Right now I’m grateful I don’t have coronavirus and being a cam girl that’s unlikely. I’m grateful im surviving

Does In and Out have a veggie burger? I haven't tried it yet!
Burger King's suck. Always burnt and just gross. My favorite is Carl's jr. It's a once a week treat.

I am grateful for how nice it feels in the woods after it rains. I smoked a few bowls and then put on my trail running shoes and between the thc and the endorphins, I was feeling pretty good, like a little Unicorn running through the enchanted woods. It's so pretty and calm back there and I love the smell of the sage growing along the trail. I don't listen to music on purpose just so I can enjoy the tranquility of the forest. Plus I see cute little lizards and bunnies and even a mouse back there, too. It's so picturesque a lot of families go back there to have their pro photos taken and I just love how peaceful it is.
