Journal Entry from 12/29/2021
I am actually typing this on my work computer. That may be what i need to do when I first clock in to be able to get this done
I am trying to find a wy to make more money without getting a second w2 job.
Today is going to be a great day I woke up before my alarm. Thats how I always know that it a good sign.
I have had a realization that I am very open to discuss and help…more so than others. I used to think it was me that had the issue with communication, but I don’t.. I have no problem being completely transparent. Others do. Wheter that be with emotions, or every day feelings, people always try to curate themselves tp a sotuation. Based on how they think will make the best thing happen. I know tnat I am not in control so I say whateer. It is frustrating because I get gaslit out of great conversations that could really solve something.
I have ADHD if I feel any sense of discomfort I will just mirror the energy in the room. If that causes you to change you behavior, that means you don’t like your own behaviors.
I can legit say I am matching your energy. THis is my form of masking to save myself
I also have accepted the fact that I don’t have codepency issues. I am very self suffient. My issue is that I am so self sufficeint that I can literally have a whole extra something in my environment and still thrive. It does slow me down, but I do not loso who i am even though I am accomdating to everything.
I still know me
little boop #494: black Friday
I am only shopping at these major retailers today because I know it makes my mama happy. Won’t catch me in these stores any other time.
Little Boop #24: Lennox is spoiled
Since February, I have been spoiling this young sir. He has a subscription box that brings his food, snacks and toiletries sent to the door on a monthly basis. His insurance is WAY better than mine. SMH. The things we do for out fur babies.
Little Boop #22: Cancelling Planet Fitness
I cancelled my Planet Fitness. I am now saving $20 a month. They make you go in person to cancel and give a reason. They make you write it on paper. I had no idea that they were going to type it up and send it back.
Little boop #2: discount gone wrong
I am that girl that has everything automated. I do all of my software updates and make sure the phone is plugged up and connected to Wi-Fi at night. (Away from my bed at that)
So on this particular morning, I picked up phone and saw the lovely message... “eSim failed.”
My heart fell to my butt. Had my eCheck bounced? no no I have been listening to the Budgetnista. The money was set aside in another account. And it was paid like two weeks ago.
Then I remembered the update that came. Thank you iOS 16.5.1. I’m sure the updates were needed and I’m not going to stop using my Apple devices but DAMN! I have no cellular service.
KeiAuna, just go to the store and get a new SIM card.
Can’t. Do. That.
Because I have a special discount on my bill that restricts my account to only be handled over the phone.
But a real nigga ain’t gotta phone.
So I went to the store. They let me call via their system for faster access….
Boom got the PIN right on the first go.
she told it she needed to send me a text message to confirm my identification.
I’m so proud of me for having to step verification, but I had to explain to her that that the reason I was calling was because I did not have that phone number. She told me that she was send the information in the mail.
All of that for nothing pretty much. I went home and got on my personal Wi-Fi and downloaded mint mobile. The three months is $45.
So I’m set for three months for a fraction of the price I was paying even with the discount. The eSim was activated in less than 30 minutes. The only bad thing is now I have a new phone number.
Update: still no update at SIM card in the mail from Verizon…
