After starting my new job a couple weeks ago I finally got paid 😁. Felt so good to have money in the bank just in case something failed on my car I can actually pay to fix it now, the stress of knowing I couldn’t before was daunting

I got a storage unit today and it’s right by my gym!!! Got all the shit out of my car, now I just have my blankets, a weeks worth a cloths and gym cloths and some can goods. Now my car doesn’t look absolutely insane with how packed it was before

Finally did laundry, holy shit did that feel so good to do , I haven’t done laundry since I became homeless. You really don’t think about how nice it is to be able to do your laundry whenever u want when living in a house. Now I won’t be smelling like b.o at work ( honestly doesn’t even matter with the people I work around they all smell especially like alcohol when they start sweating 😆.

Today was a good day , going to work out til I feel like dying, shower and then crash while watching my free subscription to Hulu 🤣

Hope everyone is well and staying warm ,love yall
