Life Update

My older dog Aussie passed away on Sept 16 😢 He had degenerative muscular myelopathy on his back legs. Unfortunately, his wheelchair did not help him. Eventually, I made the difficult decision to have him put to sleep. I had a very empathetic vet meet us at the park. Aussie passed away peacefully while I cried my eyes out. I just picked up his ashes and urn yesterday. I'm struggling hard but not being able to spend as much time with him towards the end (working my vanilla job vs being at home with him all the time while escorting full time) has really kicked me into gear to get back into sex work full time by the end of the year.

I have my tubial ligation surgery date set for mid October. My doctor believes my long periods are due to my implant birth control and wants to hold off on the endometrial ablation for now. I'll go off birth control the day off my surgery and I can't wait!

If the endometrial ablation doesn't happen, I plan on putting my $4k HSA money for PKR (similar to LASIK) or towards a rhinoplasty (at least anything applicable related to the surgery).

I was set to donate bone marrow today but that has been put on hold indefinitely as the cancer patient isn't healthy enough to do the transplant yet :(

After Aussie passed, I decided I needed less on my plate. I dropped all but one class. Currently managing well and I have an A in that class. Taking one class per semester from now on.

In a matter of seconds, a man made me feel like almost 6 years of work meant nothing and I was just an overpaid dumbass making people think I know what I'm doing.

*in the voice of five year old Khaiya*

I'll show you!

My baby centipede molted the other day! Dante is looking more red in color. Can't wait to see how he looks fully grown!

Work was a bit stressful towards the end of my shift. I haven't heard back from the boss at the location I'm trying to transfer to yet. I had a coworker in equal rank proof read my resume so I think it was good. 🤞

I drove home. I'm starting to not miss stopping off somewhere after work. I just remind myself that any money I don't spend will help make this cross country move happen.

Speaking of which I have a first choice for my next apartment. I'll fly to Philly and tour some places in the spring.

Day Off - 2/15/22

I've been super busy the last few months so I've kinda been MIA on here but I'm trying to be consistent again 🤞

I worked my vanilla job on Valentine's Day wearing @bimbocracy 's "All Men Do is Lie" sweater ❤️ Thankfully my ex didn't show up today. It's been 4 months and he is still trying to get me back but I've been strong and completely ignore him. Anyways, left work kinda late.

On the way home I stopped off at Walmart to pick up some bell peppers and an onion for a recipe. I was extra exhausted so I got fast food afterwards. Sidenote: I've cut way down on fast food since moving 😀

When I got home, I fed the pets and walked the dogs. I took a quick shower before going to bed. I wasn't feeling good so I just wanted to sleep it off.

I woke up a couple of times during the night from dehydration and texts from work but overall I got a solid night's sleep for once!

Laid in bed pretty late before making oatmeal, breakfast sausage & roasted potatoes for breakfast.

I watched TV and did some cleaning around the house. Showered, fed the pets and walked the dogs.

Dozed off on the couch for awhile before making some food for the next few days. I made chicken fajitas, made a smoothie for work tomorrow and packed a breakfast (orange, oatmeal & banana).

Bought a new charger for my Theragun G3PRO on Best Buy and a new coat for my vanilla job (I work in a cooler) off LL Bean before calling it a night.

Rest Day - 3/23/22

I'm working 10 days straight at my vanilla job so I'm going easy with weight training this week.

So I decided to take a second rest day. I left work, drove to a grocery store to buy some bay leaves and a couple other spices and a few cans of soup.

Returned some books and cds to the library and checked out a new stack. Washed my car and got fast food before going home.

I'm really struggling to eat enough and healthy lately. I'm working more and spending at least an hour at the gym 5 days a week so I'm hungrier with less time to cook.

I don't like meal prepping but I do like the idea of batch cooking staple foods and mix and matching them for different meals throughout the week.

So I decided to batch cook brown lentils and white rice :)

Turned out good 👍

Days off - 9/27/21 & 9/28/21

I enjoyed a relaxing TWO days off from my vanilla job. Finished off my 65 hour work week by leaving on time.

I grabbed a quick lunch before going to my Russian lesson. It was fun and I'm happy that its predominantly conversational Russian.

After class, I hurried home and walked my dog. Ate dinner and watched TV before calling it a night. Slept 10 wonderful hours 😴

Woke up around 5a and took my dog on some trails before heading home. Did some more unpacking and ate breakfast before running several errands. I went grocery shopping and checked out a big bag of library books :D

Back to sleep. Woke up and made blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Unpacked more boxes before exploring more trails with my dog. He was a perfect little angel on our walk today 😇

Made a delicious vegan salad and a sandwich for lunch before going down to the hot tub to relax.

My job review was the next day so I spent extra time throughout my days off doing a deep dive on what my plan really is for the next year personally and professionally.

I've decided to move back to NY. I plan to transfer there at my vanilla job. I'll have an incall in midtown and a separate apartment elsewhere (location decided).

Went to sleep too late and went into work. Had my job review and I got the maximum raise :)

I'm about to wrap up a 70 hour work week so I prepped lunch (chickpea 'tuna' sandwiches) the night before. Yum.

Left work on time, walked my dog and had a nice lunch. Watched TV for awhile and paid my rent. Money is insanely tight until my next paycheck due to all the moving costs but I'm headed into the busy season at my vanilla job so I'll bounce back quick. Plus, I've been spending a lot less money since I moved. Now I just want to go straight home and just relax.

I'm expecting for my next paycheck to be hefty so my goal is to pay November's rent then too. I love when my bills are paid far in advance.

Anyways after watching TV for a while, I took a dip in the pool and did some reading before taking my dog for a walk and getting ready for bed.
