The rotten pumpkins mysteriously disappeared, all 3 of them. There's no sign of them anywhere and I highly doubt a neighbor would come and throw them away. I think there must've been a very hungry black bear out and about last night.

I think it’s funny how Halloween and Thanksgiving are the two biggest days of the year for us here, in spite of how many of us never observed either growing up, and even came from a community which was adamantly opposed to the latter. My friend from the community… her children were taken trick-or-treating by two firefighters (one being the woman I know from the gym) because she has her reservations about partaking in it given that she’s a baptized Mennonite, and she stayed with us to pass out candy.
Also found out that my sister’s boyfriend has a TikTok because he’s in my contacts and it’s linked to his account. He’s been documenting his transition from the Mennonite life to life on the outside, and he has videos of a bunch of different subjects, including people. I’ve found that I’m featured in a few of these, and I kinda need to watch them because I know others from the community see them and of course those fuckers are all incredibly gossipy, so it would behoove me to know if anything I’ve been hiding from my parents has been let out of the bag (aside from the one thing) and which ones, exactly. On the other hand, I don’t really want to have gone to the lengths I did helping him get a viable and sustainable job and the tools he needed for it to turn around and find out he thinks I’m some grand bitch or something, especially because it’s certain my sister would be aware of this TikTok and he’d have her tacit approval if he were posting stuff like that. But I’m probably just being paranoid. Think I’ll go ahead and watch them.

So, I just dragged my old boudior lamp upstairs, for the roomie to fix, I put a dumb sticky note on it:
" I'm W's lamp, please fix me, my switch & base are loose.
Take ur time, thanks"

God I've really stressed myself out.
I need to find a real estate broker soon ( I think in the next 5-6 days ).
I will meet with one tomorrow. I pulled the closest one up to the house on a map that had marketing I recognized and called an hour ago! I was on the fence about even starting until Dec. but I guess there is a deadline to hit time wise after exam passing. I guess I'm starting sooner. I don't really feel ready. It's silly but I was enjoying my 2 day dancer trips out of town and I don't think I'll have time for everything so I might have to reduce club time . I wonder if it will seem bad if I ask to sign on but become more active starting in Dec. !
My partners life kind of " sticks " us to this one location anyway.
I just feel odd signing up for something knowing I can't do it remotely. I finally got my other job to the point I could 90% of the time and I fought so hard to get there .
BUT ..... I'm not really remote anyway. I'm here in THIS town so why not chase more $$$ since I'm HERE .
At least that was what I told myself when doing all this school and the test ! I had visions of potentials for this license and am not feeling ready.

I think I'm going to go with the Broker that has the less fancy office.
They take far less than the other two I met with.
The fancy marketing materials would be missing and the instant photographer on call.
I feel like I could hire people to make those materials for me ( they make a difference ) much less than giving 20% of every commission out. It's what I'm leaning towards but I'm not completely decided. I wanted to " start slow " too and not be down there 30 hours a week right away . I want to dip my foot in . I wanted this license for myself too so I could save on the next rental purchase ( AirBnB project #3 ) and that is probably my first deal anyway . I really don't want a fancy broker taking 20% of that commission since it's just me just trolling the listings until I find something. The cheaper less fancy office takes more like 6%.
Hopefully I'm making the right choice. The curb appeal of the fancy office is obviously much better but it's a lot to pay out per deal. :/
It's kind of like a club . The fancy one has the highest house fee !

I was gifted CBD from a weed dispensary owner as my customer. I'm nervous to try it but he brought goodies for me and that's all I wanted. I'm scared if there is side effects with High CBD and very mild THC but I'm sure it's completely fine. GAhhh I'm scared hahaha.

I went with my mom to buy cbd
she wanted to try since she retired recently
Girl she bought $300 worth of products and guess how much she used.
None of it! Lol!
She was scared too.
If you do take it. Take it at home before bed. IMO CBD (with the trace amount of thc) is similar to taking melatonin. It just provides a mild calm n relaxation. Might ease some minor aches n pains too

It's in pill form with the oil inside. Gahhh. I'm not a pill popper so I'm scared but it's harmless oil. I feel safer with edibles. I always worry about couch lock (but I know cbd is different)...
Random thought note:
This is my mom's first Thanksgiving and Christmas she is spending alone with her husband only. Both my siblings live far away with their own family now and she invited me over. I decided to back out. Let me remind you of all the holidays I missed out on because my sister was there and you wouldn't change the day any time I asked if they could celebrate christmas eve and I got christmas which resulted in an argument and me spending it alone. ENJOY. Ya never flew to see me when I was living out of state numerous times but you did so with the other siblings MULTIPLE times because they are on the path you prefer. An average life. I got lectured when I passed out and the paramedics had to come from my hospital bed.... there is never a "Are you okay?" I'm always scolded like a child even when I was on a prescription she forced me on and hit a car many years ago asleep. If I got cancer I'm sure I'd be blamed. My dad spends his holidays with a sugar baby. Weird ass life.

I'm watching this interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUdkoRivU3E) with Mamie Van Doren, she's 74 here and could pass for late 50s. Seriously, it's almost comical when people think aging means the death of your looks or that it all goes downhill past a certain age. Or when people ask questions like, "Am I too old to strip at 30?" You can stay looking good for decades and decades as long as you take care of yourself (and of course money helps, but I believe your habits are an even bigger factor).

I got nasty with a customer LOLLLL. I couldn't help myself because this was a really nice hotel way out of the way where I live. He was the one rushing me to be on time at 7pm and HERE WE ARE waiting for him and he wants 8:20. LOLLL. You're down the fucking street?!?! I wish I was busier so I could toss his ass to the curb for doing this to me while I was rushing to be kind and on time. Then the other one pulling the same shit frantically trying last minute shit because he needs to leave the area & kept contacting me and needed to see me in a matter of a few minutes. Get your DICK in order. Kindness, communication, and respect goes a long way during an appointment.
This is like being in a virtual strip club of hagglers peddling their horse shit. My god.
It's hard smiling when you want to smack someone for ill behavior. This fucking hotel and drive was expensive. Treat me right and I'm an angel in return.

IBC root beer (which I love, and have been craving lately) has become harder and harder to find lately in the grocery stores.
I put in an Instacart order today, and that was one of the items that had to be refunded to me because they had none at Giant...and they didn't even have Stewart's root beer as a replacement. My Instacart shopper said that the grocery store shelves are pretty empty lately.

The last couple days have left me with a lot to unpack.
First, my sister’s boyfriend’s parents are joining us for Thanksgiving also. Which is all fine and dandy, except I feel like I should’ve been a part of that conversation well before the conclusion of it. I haven’t known them for so long that it’s just as well to say that I don’t know them, and I neither know how they’re going to react to me (as I must be much different now than how they would’ve last remembered me) or how they’re going to react to S and her girlfriend (who will both be here), and I know they’ll have thoughts about that, and things will go very not well if they don’t keep those thoughts to themselves. S is pretty much family to both my sister and I.
And a really awkward AAA call. The guy remembered me. He was in high school when we first met. It was at the tow/impound yard of the company I did PPIs and repossessions for. His parents thought they would be slick, so they sent him to school in the car they defaulted one, while one used his car for their own use. They must’ve though we’d never do such a thing, but I was fucking ruthless as a repossessor. I snagged the maid of honor’s car from a church parking lot during a wedding ceremony once (and a church security guard thought he was going to chase me down with a golf cart), so a student parking lot at a high school wasn’t gonna be shit to me. They did get caught up on their payments and I was there when the car was released back to them. They boy’s mother was on quite the rampage telling us how she’d have “some words” for whoever towed the car and implied that person was too cowardly to show themselves, so I got her attention, pointed at myself and said to her, “It’s me those words would be for. I’m the one who towed the car”. She didn’t believe me, so I described the cars parked on either side of that one (which was easy to do… even now, I still remember that one was completely adorned in bumper stickers all over it and another had a spare tire mounted on a rack attached to the bumper, and whoever had that one had put a Pedo Bear sticker on the back window in a way that it looked like it was peeping over the spare tire). She must’ve been flabbergasted at finding out it was little old me who snagged the car, because she couldn’t find the words she had for me after that.
Anyhow, that same kid (albeit a little older now) had called AAA for a tow. I didn’t recognize him (he looks quite different now from how he did then), but as soon as he heard me speak, he shouted out, “I KNEW I RECOGNIZED YOU!” and reminded me of where he remembered me from. And he rode with me to the dealership it was being towed to, which was awkward enough, made even moreso by him telling me how embarrassed he was about the whole thing and how others in his school made fun of him over it. He tipped at the end of it then asked to take a selfie with me, and then he said to me, “My mom is gonna be so triggered when she sees this”. But I had another call on me and I couldn’t stick around to see her response.
In happier news regarding my sister’s boyfriend, it looks like they’re going to promote him to FT1 at the end of his probation with the company.

You know someone is in a bitch mood when they arrive home in a yellow cab. Hotel staff told me to book an uber or lyft...I sat there for 20 minutes with everyone unavailable. Thank god for 4 star hotel staff checking on me and making sure I was all set as well as checking on the taxi man with his card for safety. I was in such a bitch mood internally having to pay 80 bucks for the ride (obviously I was nice the whole time). I'm happily home.

** Please skip if offended by drug references **
I have had pleeeennntttyyy of time to prepare for it. He wants to fly us to Seattle to go do lsd in this specific setting ( a group type of experience with 6 people ). I have met the person " leading " our experience and like him and feel comfy ( think your bear type gay buddy who just happends to be a super successful engineering nerd ha ).
I'm sure when it comes down to it we will have fun.
I should note that it is indoors ( just so people of not worried about weather which I've looked up already ).
BUT ..... I am realizing I will have to fake taking it honestly if my week and mental mind set doesn't improve .
I'm not sure if anyone partakes ( I only do a couple times a year maybe 4 times total so far ) but it is just not something you want to do if your mind isn't really RIGHT . He bought the tickets so I feel like we are in and committed to this. I'm also admitting to myself that I might just have to fake taking it realistically. I don't think there would pressure per say from him or the group but due to the huge amount of prep time it might just look odd if I'm not well ..... prepped.
What does everyone think lol ?

So it's like...there 're 6 stranger people and they will take acid together? And the leading dude will stay sober and take care of you all, or he joins too?
I did it and I agree - it's not cool when you are not ready. Personally I wanted to get naked in the centre of a city hahahahah
May I ask why you started to hesitate? If it's too personal, I apologize.
I would take it only with the people I trust, someone I wanna know on another 'level' and I'd do it preferably one on one.
oh and it wouldnt look odd if you say! it's your mind and soul, your mood after all. It's nothing wrong about it changing.

Maybe it's *some* stranger danger anxiety lol !
It's such an intense experience ( honestly I do recommend everyone do it a couple times ) looking " inward " hahaha.
I think it's also maybe hesitation due to introversion .
I asked my partner if the neighborhood was walkable .... meaning can I get away by myself at any time ? Ha !
Not necessarily the " day of " but just in general.
It's a short trip ( the travel part heh ) and my partner is paying for the whole thing BUT I'm giving three days for it including the travel. Just sorting out thoughts I guess.
The guy leading our experience will also be partaking ( he's very experienced at it ).
Thanks for your take.
I usually am naked quickly hahahah . Maybe for strippers it's just a natural state so it is where we go ? Hahaha.

As a side note .... you are brave to try out in public. I am not sure I could.

( moved to here because it was out of order with our replies )
I only have done one other experience this year and it was very special.
I was in the backyard pool with J and we were checking in on each other ( started together but having our own experiences also .
We started cuddled and looking at clouds which is always incredible .
My experience was then that the pool had turned into the bottom of a snow globe ( the water was the " bottom " of the globe if you envison it ). I was just laughing at the sure thought that I was the " pet " inside of the globe. I was so happy. I was swimming and swirling . I'll come back and put more details.
I am a little scientific and I do ask questions ( on paper ) for the opened part of the mind. Many people say not to journal or take notes but I do and enjoy it. One thing that has stuck with me since summer was that I remember writing down on my paper " everything that is funny is as relevant as what is dark or traumatic ". Since I will get " stuck " on dark things sometimes just this strong sense of knowing that light and happy / funny things are JUST as important ( maybe more ) was the largest lesson.

Lol sometimes when the closed captioning is put on in movies I stream and don't realize it, I wind up reading the movie even if it's in english.
