Taking Care of Things & Sending Love to Heaven ❤️🙏

Overview

Lauren spends the livestream sorting through boxes and belongings while remembering her close friend Bryce, who died before turning 40. On his birthday, she reflects on how short life can be and says she sometimes talks to friends and loved ones who have passed, seeking their advice. She also misses Snow and George; their clothes and keepsakes make decluttering emotional.

Organizing and Decluttering

She sorts items into keep, donate, sell, costume, and trash piles. Clothes and shoes are especially difficult to part with when they’re sentimental, useful for acting, or still appealing. She hopes to hold a yard sale and gradually work through the clutter.

She suggests tackling one section at a time, noting that even sorting a small box feels like progress. She also considers photographing old business cards and brand materials so she can organize them and follow up on possible work opportunities.

Acting Work

Lauren recalls that film productions are generally expected to provide meals at set intervals, though she can’t remember whether the interval is six or eight hours. Meal penalties and overtime can add up for background performers.

Daily Life and Home Concerns

She didn’t get into the pool because work and auditions took over the day. She also complains about painful mosquito bites and the heat. She mentions wanting to try putting olive oil in drains to address mosquitoes, but this is an idea she raises, not a tested recommendation.

Pets and Wildlife

Lauren talks about her cats and worries that a raccoon may have taken a missing kitten. She also describes raccoons getting into the cats’ food.

Reflection and Encouragement

A note from a psychic reading recommends having “something to do, something to love, and something to hope for,” a sentiment Lauren finds worth keeping.
