5 Year Journal Day 26

     Today's prompt is " Today you needed more ____." Today I needed more sleep. I fought the zombie me with Diet Mountain Dew but it did very little to keep me awake. I was just that tired. I managed to get some cleaning done, but not much. I did make a dinner, even though I waited until later than usual to start cooking. I was struggling all day.

      It's 3 am and Caleb woke me up by joining me on the couch and playing video games. I can't get a break. I need a vacation from my vacation. Apparently he wants to talk this morning. I'm not ready to talk.
     I looked up the weather forecast and it's supposed to rain for the next 2 weeks. How am I going to manage? I have no clue. I can only take it one day at a time. I came up with some rainy day activities for Rachel and us to do. I figured we might be able to go to the mall if it is open. Caleb might need a new outfit for the photo shoot, since I haven't found what I want in his wardrobe yet. I also thought we might be able to go to the movies. Another idea I had was to play with makeup and hair and take pictures together at home.
     I wish I had a jet tub bathtub. Hell, I wish I could fit in my bathtub! I need a good epsom salt soak. Goals.
     Caleb took the hermit crab he brought home yesterday back to the water. I told him to set it free. It's a wild animal and belongs in the ocean. He was sad to let it go. I could tell he wanted to keep it.
     I finally started the Volvo. It's been raining and I haven't wanted to drive it anywhere because there is no air conditioning. I don't want to get stuck somewhere, not being able to see out the windshield because of the temperature in the car with the windows rolled up. It's something I have to fix. There are a few other major things that need repair on it too, before it's ok to drive anytime.
     Bella hates having to go out in the rain. She's funny that way. She will hold it until the last minute because she doesn't want to get wet.
     Caleb is making me a ham and colby jack cheese roll. I love colby jack melted.
     I didn't make it to the 5th day of walking, but I did make it 4 straight days. That's a huge improvement, so I'm not upset. I figure if it bothers me, I can do it tomorrow. I just need 5 days a week, not 5 days in a row.
     Caleb is trying ham and mozarella cheese rolls melted. I hope he likes it. He's very much a carb-lover. He doesn't eat much anything else. He's been on a noodle kick lately.
     Cleaning the shower and bathtub is hard work. It requires me to bend over and reach. It's not an easy task for 316 pound woman.

     And he likes the melted ham and cheese rolls!
