PART 33: KATIE

May 2021, Melbourne

So, it was my birthday on Saturday. It was super fun, surprisingly. I kind of organised it at last minute because my poor little puppy lost his eye and had to spend bloody two and a half grand on it. But he's fine now. So I wasn't going to do a birthday and then I organised one last minute but it was super fun. Very surprisingly. I’m bloody exhausted.

I did karaoke which hadn't done for ages. Since well before the lockdown. Got a Wii during lock down and bought Sing Star Down Under to try and fill that void in my heart. Yeah, it was so nice going out and seeing friends and be able to hug them and kiss them and tell them that I love them face-to-face. It was just so beautiful.

But it's two days later now and I'm still exhausted. Probably because yesterday morning I started with Bloody Marys and then just kept going. But I ordered a massive ass pizza and passed the fuck out. It was so, so worth it. But yeah, life's been pretty crazy the last few weeks. Stuff with my dog, which was very, very expensive. I had to borrow money from my parents for the first time in ages. I just turned 26, I don't really want to be borrowing money from my parents.

But luckily, luckily the hooker gods have been shining upon me. So I've been able to have actual bookings at the brothel and an out call that was just such a dream. It was just so easy. God, I'm bloody thankful that I work in this line where I can just go and earn money if I need it. I don't know what I would have done otherwise. I couldn't imagine just earning a set amount of money per week anymore and just having to work around that all the time. Freedom's just fantastic. Now I'm almost on top of my savings again after just a few weeks. Thank fuck. They say money doesn't bring you happiness, but my God does it bring you comfort.

But yeah, it's been a crazy few weeks. I went axe throwing on Monday for my housemates birthday. I bought it for her as a birthday present. I’m the most unco’ person in the world. I'm never good at sport, but I was actually good at it. It was so satisfying throwing the massive axe and getting it into the bull's eye target. Then having to try and get it out because it was so wedged in there because I'm just so bloody good at it, apparently, despite having very weak ligaments. My hands and my feet are just weak as hell.

But yeah, I never normally do this much stuff. Normally I just work one day a week and that's kind of it for me. I'm done. I just kind of hang out in bed watching YouTube all day, hanging out and cuddling with my little doggie. So it was really good to go and do stuff.

I kind of started seeing someone as well which is been surprisingly, surprisingly easy. He used to live with sex workers so he understands my job. I don't have to explain anything or have that argument. You know, the one every hooker has to try and get through when they start a new relationship. None of that. Just respect. It's just so comfortable. It hasn’t been like that with someone for a really, really long time. It's just been so chill. Forgot how easy relationships can be. 10 out of 10. Do recommend.

Yeah, I'm not working again this week until Thursday, which is good. I should probably go test so I can go shoot some porn scenes but, I don't know, it's my birthday week. I’m saying it’s my birthday month now. I’m just going do absolutely bloody nothing. It's going to be sick.
