So Far The Day After Easter Has Been The Best Day Ever

So first let me tell you about these new kicks I just got today at Fleet Feet in Menlo Park. The funny thing is I already had this pair of shoes in my shopping cart on Amazon, and you know I love supporting local business but I couldn't find a good shoe store that sold Stability shoes in Santa Cruz. I did a lot of research and landed on these being the best for a buy my size running and medium stability. Well these are the best shoes I ever had in my life, best fit and so soft it feels like I'm running on clouds. I took them for a test run tonight and I could tell I'm ready to seriously jog or run tomorrow instead of just sprinting time to time, I'm going to run from the time I leave until I get back minus a stretch and I'm going to try to run for about 30-45 minutes.
I havn't been able to find good socks in a long time butt this guy at Fleet Feet sold me these socks that are like 18.00 a pair with taxes but I only had to pay that for one pair thin socks and then got four pair for 10 each, still up there but by far the best socks I ever had, they even look different than any sock I've ever worn. To top it off they gave me a 10% discount even though I didnt mention it until after I paid, that's good service.
Nalu is pretty picky and luckily there was a pawsh doggy store nearby and Nalu sniffed every treat in the store almost didnt get anything, we were leaving and then he sniffed a couple that he didn't get yet and found two treats he licked, so that was cool. He is really good about his diet too, he doesnt eat too many treats. I made him a deal where I give him a treat for every compliment he gets and he got so many he stopped eating the treats.
He's got all the things I taught him down like craftsman level. Stay, Dont touch, get back, come and not eating food off the counters or even sniffing them. He's like 4 years old and if the prior owners didn't teach him to stay and come by this age, it's no wonder it didn't work out. Many people just need training is what it is.
His hair is not too much of an issue after all, I can handle it, so he's staying with me unless a better option comes and he wants to go at least this way it's up to God and the SPCA will cover any of his needs which I can't afford since I'm not working yet, but I'm going to. I actually started driving for Door Dash again and I'm having a good time and realizing I want to go back to work I just need to figure out what. Mortgage, Trucking, Masseuse, car salesman, seriously I'm good at it and I want to drive all kinds of new cars, I want to find a dealer that will let me drive used cars in my off time maybe. I found a mortgage company in this town that I could see myself working for. I found a school that will provide free education for veterans to get my CDL, I could apply for the 7500 grant to go to school for messages and I live near a lot of dealerships even if I have to drive an hour away, in all directions it's a beautiful meditation like drive and I can listen to audio books daily.
One concern I have is I want to start specializing in a career that I can do even while living globally so I'm able to be wearever in the world and still make my income. Mortgages allows that, already tried and proven, in fact when I finally did my tax return from years ago, it turns out my gross in a 6 month period was higher when I was living on the road in my trailer than at any other point in history almost, there was one other period but I was working like a mad man compared to when I worked for myself on the road, I realized something, no matter what I did for a living, I always loved my job because I was always feeling loved, I only started hating my job when my love life fell apart, so I'm no longer too worried about my job making me happy, I realize I need to be happy in my personal life and also enjoy what I do, but in that order. Not find a job that will make me happy so I can have a good personal life.
I'm pretty happy right now and have been for a while now, and I think that's why I'm ready to go back to work or school but I'm done finding myself.

I was door dashing and while waiting for an order in my car I feel the entire car move forward on it's own, I look back and this black car had just backed into me, so I get out, take this picture and the guy gets out of his car and I'm like hey man, you know you just hit my car right, and he's like, I did? I'm like yea look at this. He wipes it off with his hands and it literally disappeared, if you look closely you can see a couple tiny chips in the paint but its right on the seam so it's not noticable and I called it good. I had to wait for like 30 minutes in this line and the funny thing is this chick was like, excuse me, I've been waiting for over an hour now, bla bla bla. I'm like sweating now, what the heck, I have another order to pick up after this now that guys burger is going to sit for an hour what do I do, well like 15 minutes later she's like i've been here over two hours now. Then she looks at her phone and says my order will be ready to pick up at 3:18 pm. and then she got quiet. I looked at my clock, its freaking 3:40pm she had barley been there 30 minutes and called it 2 hrs which means she was only there for like 15 minutes when she said she had been there for over an hour, what in the world?

We stopped at this one returante and I asked the guy for a water cup and he said they didn't have those, and when I said it's ok it's just for my dog, he said, oh wait, I can give you one of these, then fills it with cooled filtered water puts a lid on in and gave it to me for free even though I was just picking up someone else's order, super cool and Nalu drank the entire thing in one sitting. That picture is from the review we left.
I could feel the cosmos lining the day up just right because as soon as I needed a bathroom break I picked up from this place that had a nice bathroom and when I needed water, there it was perfectly for Nalu, he even has a permanent water cup in the car now.

This is really cool, it was earth day and I felt like cleaning the street I live on, it's typically clean lately but it was just a Friday night a few hours prior so it was a bit messy out there and vendors were setting up so I didn't want people having to see trash on the ground, got a free trash bag from a shop keeper and emptied it four times. I'm cursing on my e board towards home and i'm just a block a way when I notice I missed a lid to a yogurt container on a ledge, I backed up grabbed it and then saw Air Pods on the ground, thought for sure the speakers would be missing or broken and its mint condition first gen Air Pod Pros. I activated them so the owner can track them and told the concierge downstairs if someone comes looking, I have them, but for now, I'm using them. The very interesting thing about this is I lost one of my air pod pros on the Warf and can't afford to replace it, so this was a really great gift from Earth, thank you Cosmos! Four things have now dropped from the Sky in the last year and all things I wanted, like I manifested them. Well, one of the four things I didn't need but the person with me that day said he did, so it worked out.
