Blog Post #40: On A Rocky Mountain High


Over the Mountains and through the woods...

So for the passed almost decade I have lived in Arizona with my family. My husband and father to my only child, and our child have never lived anywhere BUT that state--I hail from a small state called Rhode Island but it has been a MINUTE since I have had to up and move from some familiar settings. And Admittedly, I like stability. I knew that we could do it, we had no emotional ties to this state other than the memories we have already made...but between my pictures and my memory, those will never die. So unto new and better things. It was just nerve wrecking getting here. LOL. But that is for you to watch/hear about in the video over on Youtube. We made it. We set out to move and we made it, with very little getting in our way. The universe heard our cries, and we worked together to achieve our goals. 


This week's corresponding vlog is just as long as you would expect it to be. We had so much footage and ground to cover that we ended up with about 30 mins of cut footage. But man do my patrons have some nice things coming. ;) Also, now that I'm settled I plan on filming at least one thing every day. So please feel free to follow me and my family on our adventure. Enjoy! We had a blast making this! More good things coming soon too! Good things come to those who wait, and patience is most certainly a virtue. 

Now let's begin the next chapter shall we!? When we arrived here in Colorado we met with our new Landlord who we'll call Barry. Barry, was very cool. Even though his shit ass company rented the house we wanted right out from under our noses, it really worked out that we rented this place for six months. We have six months to get a good grip on our area, and maybe to get into the front unit of the house we are in. It's a bigger unit, and we have our eye on it. PLUS! we are now local and renting through Barry's company, so there's no reason they should rent out something from under our noses. And Barry has been super reasonable about settling and paying a decent price for this place. Boy is Denver expensive to live in. LOL but we knew that before we came. 

I'll post a video later this week of a tour around my place, and how I've got it set up. It's a little small and chaotic but there are only three of us walking around really. Stubblez just chills in one general area and Mr Fluffincute is mostly in his cage unless he's rolling around in his ball. He's got a good path to do that along so we're happy, for now. And the future only promises good things for us. I can't wait. 



That being said, I love the area. We have a really cool dispensary nearby with great deals! We have a library right nearby with a wonderful selection and we go almost every day. We have a giant fucking park nearby. We are just fucking feet from a trail, one that I actually take to work. There is a cemetery right in front of our house and you know what? Everything we need (laundry, groceries, etc) is ALL right nearby. I love it here. The crime is very low here. The homeless problem is basically nonexistent and the area is pretty fucking clean. I'm pretty satisfied. Especially because our utilities are included in rent, now if only we can get a better internet situation set up...but soon enough!

My husband starts his job tomorrow morning bright and early, and I started mine last night. I did fabulous according to my coworkers and I was very nervous. So I'm glad it didn't show too much. I made a few mistakes but it wasn't too bad, and I wasn't expected to do stocking just work/learn/run the register and the lottery. It's all a lot of muscle memory, so I seem to almost got it down. Maybe my training period won't be all that long, then again--no way to tell as I was only there for four hours. I go in again Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm actually looking forward to learning more. I think I can really excel here. AND with all my online plans this year, I really think that my family may have a chance to flourish here. 

We've got the flu or a cold in this household: the scratchy throat, the fever, the soreness etc. But the one that it seems to be hitting the hardest is little moosh. Not too bad though, because we've got her some Tylenol and she seems to be making a quick recovery. My house is clean. My lungs have air. I'm not too sick and no one is fucking with me. Life, for the moment,  is fucking good. Thank you Universe. We have been trying to pay it forward ourselves as well. Just today, we had found a US BANK card on the ground over in a plaza by a Home Depot, well--we picked it up and tried to return it to the bank but it was closed so we called them and told them we found it. They deactivated the card and thanked us. It felt good. Imagine how shitty it would feel to have lost your bank card, and have a shitload of charges run up? Damn, that would really suck. I have had something similar happen to me when I was young, it felt so horrible. I couldn't imagine doing anything else with the thing. We took it home and cut it up. Your welcome Philip, wherever you are out there. It was my pleasure. 



Okay well, for now my internet is really shitty so I can't stream but my patrons and my youtube friends can expect a lot of videos coming. Maybe even some of my twitter peeps will see me. The goal is to get my ass more comfortable in front of the camera this year, so that when I get in front of people Im not so incredibly awkward. When I get a new phone, I'm going to be setting up a premium cosplay snapchat and a depop for extra income. So keep an eye out for that. I'm also pretty handy with crafts so I'll be opening up my Etsy account as soon as I have a good stock of supplies. I'm going to be doing a vegan based food blog this year, it wont be every week like this blog but its going to be fun to figure out. Tomorrow I may post one up by the end of the day to get things going so you get a feel of what's going on but reader beware--I have an allergy to tomatoes. So no one will find tomatoes in my recipes unless its in the stewed or pasted form, and even then I TRY to avoid it more often than not. Well, wow. A lot of plans this year and such a full schedule! But I can't wait!


Shout out to all my sisters out there having a rough time today. Something is going on out there that's making things sour and usually, things like this come in threes for me. It happened again that way today. I lit my candles, some are STILL lit, and I've been happily vibing all day. Girls, I fuckin got you. You are strong, and life is hard. I know it, you know it, and the universe knows it. So it's testing you. But you'll bounce back. We always do. <3 and="" chin="" fight="" hand="" my="" nbsp="" on.="" p="" take="" up.="">
