Day 32/365: Not me catching a fish from a group chat
In my personal opinion... I don't have high hopes, but we'll see, innit. Like... a trip to Miami is really not that expensive I've come to realize. Anyway, let me get into it. I posted on the Whatsapp group for sailors on our cruise that I was disappointed that I didn't find my husband.
This former military man sent me two voicenotes, essentially shooting his shot. I didn't like how he brought up that I'm business minded twice, and that he added a DP and posted a screenshot of the upcoming movie, One Love, the biopic of Bob Marley on his Whatsapp status. From his voice though, he sounds very sincere and like a guy who is really looking for love.
But bro... I don't know. These things - to me - are a bit of a... I forgot. I anycase, I don't see there being anything to pursue here. I can tell he's more interested in me than I am in him.

Day 15/365: I'm taking the plunge... I'm starting to rebuild my personal brand this week.
I don't know where this power came from all of a sudden. I think it was prayer this morning. Just, giving my day to God. I need to find the proper affirmation. And, I want to pull my girls in more, deepen these relationships and fly high on my career... Which, I don't even know what I want out of it. I love the stability, I love the money. I love getting out of the house.
Will share more later. Going to have the meal from last time and read... Yeah.

Day 8/365: Open the floodgates of heaven
Day 1, Week 1 without a job that literally was sucking my life and my soul out of me.
Day 1 of me building my career as a software engineer. Seeing people make $300k in 4-5 years... definitely changed my perspective. It means that what I want, what I'm going for... is not fake, or unheard of or like impossible. The first guy in my friends IG share made the exact amount that I wanted: $350,000... I want that.
How do I get there? That's the question... I'm not sure I want to work in a FAANG... maybe as a contractor or something, I don't know. Just to say that I did it, especially as a software engineer.
Anyway, I think my cold is getting better? My nose is still sensitive AF, which is annoying. Flu shot me, all the shots for me ASAP. I'm taking NO CHANCES. Fuck, I think I'm going to get my 3rd C19 shot as well, who knows... who knows...

Day 7/365: Happy Happy Happy
I quit. They let me go. I hate that I had to tell a fabulous lie, but I plan to use this time to batch content, gain a certification, and plan out my 2024. I'm feeling to do a budget trip to like, somewhere hot or something. Like, be in a hostel, only take a carry on, eat local food etc. It looks so fun!
Ultimately, I'm thinking of my next solo trip and especially, my next birthday trip. I want to make $100,000 next year. Whether at my new job, or another place. I want to hit that mark again. I want the CompTIA, just because and I'm working on my cloud certification right now. I wish I knew what direction I could go in and what my strengths are in this new territory. I'll be also making my new vision board, with ole boy on there, for sure 😊 We're locked in, like a booty hole.
Feeling to weigh, but feel it's unnecessary
I made stew last night and it's divine. Very rich, very tasty. The only thing I didn't like is how the beef didn't have or develop much flavor. It also felt dry to me. Like I overcooked it. It might have been better in soup tbh. Which I'll be making some of today with the leftover of my Dad's/stepmoms soup. Which was very tasty with rice.
My rice cooker is amazing 😋 I love having rice on standby, even if it is a shit tone of calories 😔 Yeah... All is well, by His grace. Where am I going to church today? That is the question ⁉️

Day 5/365: Tonight, I quit my old job
I should have quit back in 2023. But here we are. I'm a contractor, international at that. I pray it goes well and smoothly. I didn't send an invoice for 2023 because well... I didn't work, and that's the truth. This lie, was unnecessary. I should have just quit back then. But here we are, now. I'd rather struggle through this now, at least I have something to look forward to at my new job. I don't even mind coming in everyday. It's work that I enjoy, like and can see myself growing in.
I'll bring up the courage tonight. God go with me.

Day 3/365: I'm feeling hungry and... relatively calm?
Maybe its age, or maybe its just facing what's in front of me. I don't know. But I feel good. I would have liked to have showered and eaten before this, however, I sent out that proposal pretty good and I must say, I handled it pretty well.
Are los drugas working? We'll have to wait and see! Ok, I have a transman coming to my apartment at 1:30pm. It'll be cool to get this post out of the way by then WITH the manager of my choice. So. That's the plan right now. I'm not sure if I should shower first, then get this done, or what, but I want to tackle it first, so that I can desensitise myself to the whole process. Really leaning into the *I'm sick cough* and new year to get sympathy and more time. The fact is... it's alot of fucking work... and it's tedious, and boring and repetitive...
Anyway... 3 months to goooo

I'm in the mood... for money, and work, and green tea
The tea was necessary.
I'm using my new Ember mug. So far, so good. I think I've found the right temperature for it (50 degrees), to be honest. But then again, a part of me is like, doesn't a regular like travel mug do the same thing? I dunno, I feel like my Costco mug... I hate the color OMG. Of all the colors, Sage Green?! I literally, cannot stand the color green, or orange. Funny enough, my brother's favorite colors... Ugh. It would be DOPE if it were white, or black. BUT I checked that shit online... firstly, it's $199.99 CAD. I wanted to use Mel's code for 20% off, which would have made it the same price as the one in Costco. But the shipping was $10 (not bad) and the code didn't work in Canada, which was annoying. Or, maybe it didn't work for the product I wanted.
In anycase, I now am carrying around a green mug. I love how it keeps stuff the perfect temperature though. I'm totally travelling with it. Well, probably not but like, when/if I go places to work, I'd bring it with me. The only thing I don't like, is how it dies after an hour not on the charging station, which I found to be a bit annoying. I thought it'd last way longer than that, but here we are.
I need my period to come early and I need this cold to FULLY go away. I don't want to be sick - or get sicker - while travelling. Furthermore, I don't want to be dirty and unclean when travelling with someone. Like, I don't want to leave a pad in the bathroom. I PRAY WE GET A FREE UPGRADE, PLEASE LORD PLEASEEEE!! That'll be amazing!!
But yeah, anyway... Let's get this work on sha!

Day 2/365: Zoloft Diaries - Day 1 Round Up
Woke up with some cramping and abdominal pain. Especially on the right lower side.
Another day waking up with no morning thoughts or worry, just calm. Stomach had MAD nausea that wouldn't go away with Pepto. Filled/filling pantyliners after taking medication for BV, which is annoying. A clear mind. Hm.
