I don't want to go in today. I have my periods, I am replacing someone tonight it's a 12 hours shift, working my usual Saturday double shift and working Sunday evening ugh, there goes my week-end.

I have a test tomorrow that I did not study for at all, because of my other test yesterday.
I mean I could probably cram enough in, but I'd rather guarantee that I get an A... the only reason I'm taking these classes is to demonstrate to admissions people that I can get As in science classes. It's no longer the first two years of undergrad where "Oh well a B is still ok". It will literally be a big dent in my case and annoy me if I get a B.
Also there were 33 girls yesterday by 6pm soooooo.... I'm not holding out much faith in today to be any better.

Achey, hungry, a little sick, feet peeling like fuck (please no foot fetishes...) and no focus or motivation. Yet here I am because between low hours, trials and low traffic, I still need to make some actual money.

I have an ugly spider bite on my upper back thigh, like, perfectly located to draw the eye of anyone checking out my butt. Nobody's gonna buy a dance from a stripper who looks like she has ass leprosy!

Seriously...it's always the nights that I REALLY don't want to go in that I end up killing it.
I think it was Selina who made the observation that when you go in ready to work and ready to hustle, you sometimes (often? always??) make less money than when you walk into work in a bad mood. Definitely true for me!

I'm AMAZED that I made it in to work last night. Historically, if I take so much as a couple of weeks off, I don't manage to return to the club for years at a time. Thank fucking god I got my ass in there again. Every time I return to work, I'm just like "Oh yeah, this really isn't a big deal." I go into autopilot and make the best of whatever the night throws my way. It's a huge energy drain, but it's not that big of a deal. I work it up into this huge thing in my head whenever I take time off...like that dancing damages me, that I need to take care of my mental health by taking another week off, etc. And then I get back into the flow of things, and I'm like, oh yeah, I can do this...

I want to research/try out camming. And hang out with my dogs. And play WoW. And clean my house.
But if I go in, anything after the first $60 is gravy today, so that's a motivator to go... my pony needs things... And I would like to actually meet my weekly goal and not slip back into shitty habits.

IME going from dancing to camming is a rough transition. The money, specifically, is...different. And it's a very, very different hustle. Seems like girls with endless energy and tolerance are the ones who are most successful with camming. It took far more energy for me to cam than it did to dance, and the payoff was disappointing. I also couldn't handle the huge cuts camming companies take for themselves. But, no harm in trying it!
Definitely keep us updated though!!

Ugh I'm blaming PMDD for me not wanting to even try a new club today :/ I was supposed to go in to audition one sone like an hr ago but omg that's waay too early for me to be ready to go & fight friday traffic 30 something miles away. I'm promising myself I'll do it next week on a better day when I can try 2 places instead of one. I am however gonna work tonight & tm night at my current club (that I hate) *crosses fingers* I will kill it tonight!

I think I'm trying to sabotage my going in to work tonight by eating a ton of food. If I have a food-baby belly, then I can't work, right? And a girl's gotta eat...

Yeah I have heard that, but I dunno, I feel like I spend most of my free time on the internet anyway so I might as well make it profitable. I would probably do best on one of the sites without free chat, where you can just hang out until a private comes in.
Or maybe I'm just lazy and sick of driving 40 miles to my club, which makes not leaving my house sound appealing. Could be that :P

Only two people have been able to see me for massage lately. My screening is getting even stricter ( lighting fast ultra respectful bookings at very high end properties only). So my excuse for not working much is that I my those two seemed good to see!

@SelinaM make sure you read Camming Connection and indie sites like CMD and LCMS don't have free chat, so you're only "on" if you're getting paid. My excuse: I'm anemic and haven't been taking iron, so I'm pale, short of breath, and my whole body hurts. I've worked this week and have big plans for tomorrow-as in, I can take the whole week off if it goes according to plan. So I'm gonna baby myself and try to prepare mentally and physically for tomorrow, not beating myself up for the mental
and physical illnesses that make me feel like I have a lemon for a body.

Been so busy lately since school started, I thought I would work once every 2 weeks and I'm scheduled this Saturday night but I don't feel like working at all anymore. I worked full-time the whole summer and saved quite a bit. I live below my means, my rent and bills are not that high. I haven't been spending much lately besides on food, coffee and restaurant occasionally. I don't really have the opportunity to spend, as opposed to all the free time I had this summer.
I miss working but thinking about this Saturday, having to study 12 hours and then go to the club, spend an hour to get ready and work from 10 pm to 3 am, sleep at 5-6 am seems like so much work. I just want to focus on studying :/. It would be great if I could just schedule all my generous regulars on the same shift but it would be impossible, some of them are day shift regulars who sleep at 9 pm, others are night shift regulars, some of them can only visit during the week... I simply cannot work as often anymore.

My feet hurt from my blister forming from my tennis shoes as I worked out today and even though all I have to do is SIT ON MY ASS for multiple hours, that's somehow an excuse for me to take forever to get on cam and phone today...blargggggg. I don't wanna!

Don't you hate it when you're sick, but you're on the border between sick and not-sick, so when you decide not to go in, part of you feels like a fraud, but part of you is legit like thank god I'll be able to sniffle in private and be ugly tonight...

I ultimately didn't go in because I got my period this morning and feel all periody. I have always said that the first day of a stripper's period is a legitimate excuse for not working. I got all ready and got all the way down there and said fuck this and turned around. Now out downtown having dinner and drinks. :)

I have 2 exams on Tuesday and a 4 page paper due Thursday. Goodbye Sunday and Monday shifts.
At least they only had a 50/50 shot of being decent from football. Tuesday/Wednesday might be much more profitable.

OMG!!! We really are pizza soul mates!!! I can just about finish a large by myself. I love it when the pepperoni is cooked crispy to where the edges just curl up and there are plenty of mushrooms and onions and you take that first bite and taste all that goodness.

So drowsy. Fuck my sleep schedule and the insomnia. I tried to sleep at least a few hours before heading to work but I just can't fall asleep no matter how drowsy I am. Only if I can sleep on command. I've taken some days off just to sleep. The club is like an hour away, hope I don't fall asleep while driving. ugh. I'll go tonight but this is frustrating.

I struggle with insomnia, too. Lately 10 mg of melatonin has been working for me (I struggle to fall asleep, but once I'm asleep, I'm good). I also bought these on Amazon (you take two of them), and they seem to work well: http://www.amazon.com/LUNA-Vegetarian-Non-Habit-Passionflower-IntraNaturals/dp/B00JCO3ALG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446857825&sr=8-1

It has hormones in it, be aware. Plus It did not work for my mom. She has sever insomnia and even worst she has glaucoma. For that reason she can't use most of the sleeping pills which are made for increasing your eye pressure. The medicine that she is using right now is called Zolpidem.

Yep! Wednesday mid shift was bad, Friday night was bad for most girls... not looking promising
My multiple excuses are 1) bad post-Thanksgiving weekend crowd, 2) I made mad money last night from a regular and the first hour of a decent crowd, 3) my obligation to pay rent and horse board is gone so I have no more real bills until 12/15, 4) I'm 2 chapters behind in biochem and the final is in 5 days.
