Okay so the safe parking staff told me that there is a safe parking in Los angeles. I'm seriously thinking of packing up and relocating up there with my stuff. My son is leaving our city in a couple of months, and the fact that he wants to live on his own now tells me that it's okay for me to go. I'll still be 2 hours away, so I won't be far. I investigated the safe parking situation and there is a Starbucks 3 minutes away, a Planet Fitness 10 minutes away, with a dispensary and a storage area nearby as well. The Planet Fitness is open 24 hours which is awesome in case I have a film shoot filming at a weird hour. I can still go in and shower and get ready just like I could if I was living at home. I signed up today on a casting website and applied for a bunch of gigs that I qualified for. I figure why not make the jump, stay at safe parking, and work a bunch of acting gigs and stack funds? It would be a lot less wear and tear on my car than grocery gigging, which I could do in between acting gigs. And production assistant gigs. I figure while I'm out here I may as well go up there and get as much as I can on my resume and network as much as I can so I can reach my professional goals. Then when I have enough funds I can buy some land or a home near where my son is.

After many years there, she's now having to move because of how bad the homeless on drugs have become.

I think I need a shamanic ritual or something to release myself from this " I can't pay rent " line of thinking.
Maybe I'll go to the local church and light a candle lol.

I already SHOULD have made a decision and bit the $1200 ish to get a private place to live.
Instead I did nothing and am now embarrassed .
I was waiting for inspiration to hit.
All that hit is irritation ( over the long drives from the suburb ) .

I can get a private space for $1200 ( it's not easy but I'm familiar with which buildings are rent controlled already ) . Living in my own home in burbs would be $1100 and I'd not only burn MORE than $100 in gas but also valuable TIME.

This other AirBnB owner offered me her city apartment in December for $1200 but then I got scared . Ugh , what is wrong with me ? Her place is cute as hell, she approved my dog, and I hesitated.

I think what my problem may be is that I fully expected a friend or two to be like " Oh take a room in my place 1-2 months for $500 - $600 a month ". No one did. So my single shout out on FB was the extent of my effort and it's upsetting that it didn't work. Eh.

Thanksgiving went well, though I’m pretty certain everyone from outside the house caught that there was something a little more somber in the air this year. I always say something before we eat, so I just said I was glad we were able to all be there and having that time together, and of the Irish woman, I said that I wish her all the best when she returns to Ireland, she’ll be missed, she’s been an important part of our household and has touched all of our lives, and that I hoped the stars would align in a way that this wouldn’t be her last Thanksgiving ever with us. I thought I did a good job playing it cool and holding it together, but of course my mother knew better. But that date is approaching quickly.

My student renting the back house joined us. We don’t really mingle at all, so I had no idea if she was going to be here or not for Thanksgiving. I saw a light on and knocked on the door and she answered. Talked her into joining us… we had more than enough food. My mother has been a bit of a worry wart about the girl who drove me home from SC… the tattoos and piercings, she can cope with. But this girl is super skinny. And she also spent the night with S and her girlfriend last night, so I think they may have had a three way.

^^ they are sketchy areas, but the thing I like about the safe parking lots is that there is security there watching over us. They also don't allow you to stay there if you have a criminal record. They do take precautions, which makes me feel better, but still you have to pay attention to your surroundings. The cool thing also is that they offer you a line of credit in case you need to borrow money to make car repairs, and I might need that later down the line. My goal is to book a bunch of gigs and save up for a place. I was trying to do that this year, but my savings went back into car repairs. At least I would be doing something to move my career forward and make some connections. I just wish La was safer overall. My friend who used to live there left because the homeless problem was getting so bad. He bought a condo by the beach down here, which is also starting to become overrun with homeless. I thank God that I at least have a car, a safe place to sleep where nobody will bother me. I'm grateful not to actually be out on a street. When I have a fat chunk saved up, then I'm going to move out of the city and go live somewhere near my kid. In my own home.

Well, it’s just a possibility. They may not have done anything more than a show and tell of her tattoos, which I know S is particularly interested in as she’s getting sleeved and I think she’s trying to figure out what the extent of tattoos she wants is. Of course, I know these two, so…


It always amuses me how confused my friend the firefighter leaves my mother. She’s a very intimidating looking woman, especially being as muscular as she is. And when I first saw her at the gym, my first thoughts were, “I think I should probably avoid her”. But it was kinda surreal when she struck up a conversation with me, because she was… bubbly. And over time, you see it’s not an act and that really is her. Her appearance and her personality just do not seem to jive at all.

The one who drove me home from SC went back home today, so we sent some food with her and also some for her roommate, who i didn’t find out until after she was here didn’t have any Thanksgiving plans, else I’d have invited her up, as well. My mother made sure we crammed as much food as we could into the containers we sent with her.

And I take them to the airport tomorrow. There’s a Mennonite church in the area and they wanted to attend a service there, perhaps do a little networking… I think they may actually be serious about selling off the farm and moving here to be closer to us.

Going for my 2nd lip blush touch up tomorrow, there's supposed to be only one touch up around a month later but she offered another since I let her know how disappointed with the color result I am. Also she doesn't numb the pain well enough..Barely made any difference and she pretty much admitted it.

I started a YouTube channel 5 years ago.
Despite uploading videos regularly, and promoting them on Twitter and Instagram, I've never had more than 10/20 views.

I uploaded an intro to YouTube video the other day, even though I had one up already from when I started my channel.

It got over 3 thousand views within a few hours.
It's currently over 4 thousand.

I didn't promote it, so I'm not sure why it got this many views.
My subscriber count jumped up too.

This is small town shit, but kind of interesting- I saw an old co-worker at Wal Mart who was really unpleasant to me years ago. (One of those Midwestern women who hates anyone who had anything to do with the adult industry.)

I got irritated for a moment seeing her but I figure, that is the distant past. She's looking nicer these days so she finally glowed up. Maybe her attitude improved along with her looks. We can all hope.

I watch a psychic medium's YouTube channel.
She was a stripper at 17, and only for a few years until she married a customer.

She's in her mid 50's now, but still talks about her stripping days in every episode.

The Irish woman leaves tomorrow. I suppose I’m better able to accept it now than when I was initially. Kinda feels like the end of an era, but I suppose I’ve had a few of those in my lifetime. We’re having a going away thing for her tonight, because it’s not just those of us in this house who were affected by her, and it’s going to be a big loss for the equestrian center, especially as a lot of the families of her students took a particular shine to her. I’m sad about it, but happy for her also, because I know she always had some degree of homesickness.

You have me wanting to look into Rover now. I love animals and pets, and it would be cool to get paid to sleep at somebody's house!

YES ! ^ I very randomly set it up.
I had purchased overnight stays and day time visits there for my boy but never offered anyone anything.

I hope I get another reservation in the city to get more time in Dec. covered . :)

It could work great for you since you could go do your deliveries for 3-4 hours , pop back and let the pets out , go out 3-4 more hours ect. ! I could see it not working well for someone that had to be in a particular place for 8-9 hours .
My schedule is that way. I can easily work my first 3-4 hours from home and then go to my co-working space for another 4 hours.

^^^ absolutely! Plus, it would be cool to sleep over at somebody's house when they're not there and get paid for it given that I've been sleeping in my car for over a year now.

Somehow my oldest cat snuck out of my house last night. When we found her this morning she was so happy to be back inside again. LOL she was super affectionate and hungry.

Quite frankly, most people and places in my life don't deserve the effort I put in.
