- We all want justice for Keyana, Keyara, Kerriele, and Kionnie. 

You know The Real Gone Gonzo who was on the show last night? Wow, he is even cooler behind the scenes! So I wanted to share a snippet of what he shared with me before I had to hop off to join the Mobcrew's show:

Remember that there were two stone crosses where Gabby died? One in the trees, which her stepdad put there, and one near the water. Guess who created the one near the water? GONZO! He is one super undercover boots-on-the-ground guy, I am not too sure in what capacity, but he is currently working on 8 cases across the USA and I am starting to understand why former police chief and undercover homicide detective, Perry Freeman, likes him so much. I love them both and respect them greatly, so getting their 'stamp of approval', especially behind-the-scenes last night, was amazing! 

Sometimes that chats behind-the-scenes are so juicy and interesting that I am dying to share it, and guess what, I can share some of it, RIGHT HERE! Hehe. 

We spoke for about 30 minutes after the livestream ended, and once we started on the Gabby Petito case, it was really difficult to leave. He said that he hadn't noticed the orange markings when he first arrived and thinks they were made after Gabby's remains were carefully cleared from the scene and the investigation started. He also stayed at a hotel close to the Moonflower and was on a rooftop when he saw a couple fighting below- he later realized it was Gabby and Brian when the case broke. He finds it really odd, like many of us do, how Brian Laundrie's remains were discovered, and what has transpired since, and he recalls overhearing that Gabby was wrapped in a tarp (this has been in the rumor mill for a long time, but this was the first time I have heard it from someone who was actually there- he did not physically see Gabby's remains because was cleared before anyone other than official LE were allowed on the scene).

Also, I filmed some video clips for you with every intention of making a video, but I find them 'super cringe' and won't be sharing those. Lol. I was basically just packing my swimming bag, showing you my Speedo, cap, and goggles, and cycling to the pool - I will show you the cycle video soon, that was nice! But the other stuff is EW. hehe. In my head it was a great idea, but the execution was laughable.

I am really enjoying the swimming so much and am so glad to be back in the water! I have to be in the water by 9 or 9.30 AM otherwise all the grannies and grandpas come to wade in the lanes and it gets a little frustrating to do my laps. So I am working hard on getting to sleep by 1 or 2 AM at the latest. 

Question: are you able to view the cycle to the city video easily now? I have made sure all the settings are correct and the URL has been shared, the same way I share all my videos on here now. I use YouTube as the server for unlisted videos because, as you know, I was having technical issues with Vimeo (money down the drain invested for a year membership there, oh my word). I would like to stream the VIP party for next weekend with another cycle or walk in the city, will share the link closer to the time, and will tentatively plan for around 8 or 9 PM my time (2 or 3 PM Eastern) and most likely on Saturday. 

And, oh my word! Behind-the-scenes: Maintenance workers for our building came to touch up some paint on the balcony- BLUE OIL BASED PAINT... that they so happened to mess a splotch or three on our cream curtains in the living area! The thing is, the landlord is pedantic over these curtains and didn't want us to have a cat in case it affected the curtains. When I pointed out that I could have a baby or three that could do more damage, he said yes to the cat. hehe. But when we told him about the painters ruining the curtains, he asked us to please try to sort the problem out. I bought some stain remover... and it made it much, much worse. And then I popped the curtain into the wash.. and they shrank to half the size (obviously too hot, hehe, I didn't know). So! Now I have had to do my best to really fix this annoying problem, so I have had to pay 200 Euros for a brand new curtain! And if it doesn't quite match the other curtain, I will have to get one of those too. Am I annoyed? Yes! But is this a first-world problem? Probably! Grateful for those these days, hehe! 

If you think I talk a lot, then see me write! haha. This is just a quick note and it's almost 1k words, lol. 

So I will leave it there for now! I hope you have a wonderful day ahead! 

Oh, by the way, I've added one additional perk to the highest tier on here, which is a special exclusive mug that you receive after 3 consecutive months at that tier level (starting now, from what I understand Patreon is telling me). I wish I could offer it on all tiers, but it's only available to tiers $20 and up. And OMG, if I wanted to offer a shirt or hoodie just for patrons, I need to up the price of the tier... and... they take an extra 3% cut to make this perk available. But I think it's worth it as a thank you- please send me a photo when you receive it. And I hope all the content I provide to all tiers every week is good enough. If you know me at all, you know I suffer from the feeling of never being/doing good-enough, something I'm sure many of us live with, whether it's from suffering at the hands of narcissistic/abusive parents or trauma/toxic relationships. 

So let me encourage you (and will try to take my own advice): You are enough, you do your best, and you must remember to take care of yourself first. 

Love,

Gisela.
