90 Day Go Hard (THE REFLECTION) Part 2 ( LA Story)

 Here are the list of possibilities I made. Let me state, if I didn't that the reason I made this list is because I was losing faith in my Husband and I panicked. I thought to myself, "omg I messed up again, I don't need this i'm out!" I now know this was more PTSD than myself talking because I didn't even give the man a chance. This was the first time we even had a "real" problem together. N-E-ways here's Jodie's panic list.

  • WWOOF I found this organization called Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms. In short it's a program you can join and go away for N-E-where from a week to a year around the world volunteering 2 help people on their farm. It's basically free, the host pays for your room & board it's an exchange for your work. 
  • I found out that California has a lot of shared housing as well that I could afford on my own & I could focus 100% on going back 2 school & finishing my degree or going back to bartending school. (I mean not that I'm really into the shared housing thing but I figured I would just do that until I could do better.)
  • I even applied to the Peace Corps. I was accepted to go to Botswana Africa August 2023, that was wild.  
In week 8 nothing much happened just working & thinking. In week 9 hubby went back to work (nope we not even about to talk about it). In week 10 I started working with the Peace Corps recruiter. Things were rough. I was mentally drained because it was hard to form a solid plan. I knew jumping from state to state wasn't going to be easy but damn. I was left feeling very lethargic in the end. Because the plan was inconsistent we ended up having to move out of the room we were in into the garage. More on that in the conclusion, cuz it got crazy!


I used to make scrap books to keep up with my life, because I didn't want 2 forget anything lol imagine that!

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

     My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...

Surviving LA part II

  As the LA housing search continues...      We found ourselves on the streets & out of money for a couple weeks due to the Beverly Hills swindle & the cost of staying in hotels. On day one on the streets, we both worked a night shift and spent the day sleeping in our storage unit, Day 2 was the Santa Monica/Venice beach night, sleeping in our tent & fighting a serious wind till the morning. On day 3 we fought with the wind again more severe in our tent at the Venice Graffiti walls on the beach & lost. We dramatically packed up fighting the wind the whole way & ended up camping not too far away in Penmar park. The good thing about this was that they had a bathroom available.       The hauk was out too that night it was so cold, I thought I was gonna die from hypothermia. I don't even know how I made it through the night. All I know is that I was not prepared for this! The universe carried me into day 4 & we both again worke...
