Week #3 in April.
I'm pushing earnings up to what I hope will be 1k minimum per week FOREVER lol from here on out.
I have $811 this week so far and will get the rest soon.
Whether I'll get cash out of my main job has been hit and miss ( but at least some hits instead of just dud weeks most of 2020 ). My life doesn't really need this number my bills are super low. My ego needs it. In short ..... I have missed making decent money with a burning passion lol.

I had a pretty positive day at work and I am hoping I'll get through this year without contracting Covid (I work at a restaurant, so getting exposed has been a concern since the Pandemic started.) I'm so sad my Dad has likely had years shaved off of his life from his bout with Covid. It's so unfair.

^^^I’m sorry about your Dad. There’s so much tragedy lately it hard to wrap my head around it.
I’m grateful to be alive and that I didn’t catch COVID. I will be fully vaccinated soon. Which is such a relief. This pandemic has been so surreal.
With the George Floyd’s murder trial conviction I feel a bit of relief. There’s a sense at least there’s some justice left in the worl.
In my personal life, I’m okay. Although the PRO ACT has me on edge-that's the next shoe I’m waiting for to drop. All I can do is grind and pray. I’ll figure it out when it comes to pass.
I feel helpless with all the suffering and like I should be doing more. I have to take care of myself first before I can help anyone else. I’m just trying to do my part to live in the solution instead of the problem. All I can do is help myself and help the person God/Goddess/source puts in front of me. I just try to be the change I want to be in the world.

I’m hoping it doesn’t pass, but I mean it’s going to constantly being something to worry about it. Hopefully the senate votes it down. So long as they don’t get rid of the filibuster, it won’t pass.

the more research I do the clearer it seems that the actual passing of the PROact would have little effect on how we and other ICs are classified. There is a fear campaign at work to make us believe it will and that unions are to blame. It is the interpretation of the act by individual states and companies that makes the difference. My state uses the same standards for the ABC test but has no effect on my worker status, passage of the pro act will not change anything. AB5 in its original form had a major effect because of the state tax structure, federal not so much because this doesn’t change tax code
The adult industry will still get screwed but it has little to do with the ability of independent contractors to unionize. We are not automatically made employees, the companies/strip clubs/studios choose to because they know they can. Also maybe are scared themselves of all the new legislation, and would rather comply.

^^^I called my representatives but the don’t give AF about their constituents. Worry is like meditating on shit. If it passes then I’ll deal with it. It’s just something else to stress about during a stressful time. It is what it is.

This is gonna sound so bad but the Pandemic made me like Alone time too much and now I have no idea if I'll try to have a social life. I'm good at keeping myself entertained.

^^^i know right! I think I’m going to go back to the club. I hope I make a killing. I’ve been able to make some money with camming. It’s helped my cash flow, but I need some tax free cash! 1 k seems nice until you realize you busted your ass for nothing after taxes and expenses. I plan on camming still. But fuck next weeks contest! Last contest I busted my ass for $500! Are you kidding me? Then I had to take an entire week off to recover. Ugh. I’m kinda scared, but I’m excited. I miss stripper money! I wanna bag full of cash!
Wish me well

^^^Thanks. I’m really grateful. I’m taking a day off as I don’t want over do it, and injure myself after not working for a year. Being able to work full time solves A LOT of problems. I took such a financial hit with COVID. I think camming was triggering my repetitive stress injury. Dancing has more functional movements, so will also be better for my physical recovery. I also can afford health insurance! So I made an appointment with my doctor! I’m so happy.
I’m proud of all of us. I’m so thankful to you Carmen and everyone else for your support during this challenging time. PM me if any of you want my Instagram.
I wish you all the best in recovering from the pandemic. I’m grateful I survived the pandemic, but recovering is going to be just as hard. I’m sure by next year I’ll be back on track with all my goals, but I still have a lot of work to do to get there.
Don’t Quit
Edgar Albert Guest
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
Whe he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

My friends finally contracted COVID but they're OK. (They live in a Rocky Mountain region state so it took this long for them to run into someone who had COVID.)
Thank God they're OK. COVID really is everywhere, ladies.....

I’m happy they are okay. Were they vaccinated? There’s lots of breakthrough cases still.
I’m vaccinated, but I’m still worried. Not much I can do about it since we’ll all be exposed at some point. Source: Nurse John Campbell.

...My Pandemic boredom is causing me to spy on my yard squirrels too much. I wonder if I am annoying them.
On a somewhat happy note for Americans in general, 50 percent of surveyed Americans admitted to gaining weight during the Pandemic, which means a lot of people improved their cooking skills, and a lot of people can afford to feed themselves, which is a small blessing in and of itself........

Kinda really enjoyed talking with the female booker yesterday I had on my to do list to contact. We ended up talking for like 30 minutes on facetime and it is refreshing hearing how much knowledge she has. It was like comparing notes hahaha! Escorting sometimes feels like fending for yourself and it is nice when someone has a lot of knowledge to assist you and is super chill too. She even knew my previous booker just by her first name lol.
Got a full week booking request but I am not a slave so 8 hours is it for 5 grand. I'd have to have a separate room for breaks for a week type of deal to refresh, self care maintenance for an hour per day, and that is 10k a day. It sounds way too draining. My INTJ self would treat that like Las Vegas....one day only and we gotta get the fuck back home! LOLLLL

I have 32000 to deposit. I'm a workaholic before school don't judge me :P...I'm pulling the athlete move of my past....Go in hard!
I was at nothing and damn I'm doing better before school to save.
If anything I made the most off the pandemic and learned so much about people.
I remember sitting in the walmart parking lot while dancing not affording milk or having to ask someone to pay for my hotel in compensation for free during a bad time. I am here now and proud! Hard work :)...

Sooooooooooooo....my best friend's husband got Covid.
He got it at work , despite his company observing all protocols to prevent the spread of Covid. Cutely enough he's spending his unexpected vacation cooking for his wife and mother and law.
I'm sure he'll be fine but ugh. This damned virus is here to stay......
