5 Year Journal Day 28

     Today's prompt is "How do you describe home?" Home is where I sleep, and must include Bella and Caleb. It's also where I eat and shower. It's where I can cook, wash laundry, and wash dishes. It's where I can park my cars. It's where I can let Bella sunbathe in the yard. Home is where I want to be when I am filled with anxiety. Home is my safe place. Home is where I relax. Home is where I store all my belongings.

     Caleb woke me up this morning at 6:50. I tried to stay asleep the whole night, but I did wake up several times. Yesterday, I made a long list of things to do, and did none of it. I ended up working on my next week's schedule, and updating my bills spreadsheet. It doesn't sound like a lot of work but it is. I did make it to Walmart to pick up a few things we needed, and I also put gas in the Mazda so I would be able to drive to my appointment today. When I got home I was exhausted.
     Travis, my former roommate, and also a disabled veteran, text me. He told me he found a wallet with $500 cash in it and it had a license and credit cards in it. He found it around church. He was telling me how he was going to keep the money and throw away the rest. He didn't care about the person who lost their wallet, because Travis had been stolen from before and no one returned his stuff. It made me very angry that he would do this. I told him he was an asshole. I told him he was a piece of shit for not trying to return the wallet. I told him he learned nothing from going to church! He replied, "I only go there for the wifi." I just can't. I can't be a mother to him. He is a grown man, but I did talk to Caleb about it. I told him that the way Travis is behaving is wrong, and that he should have tried to return the wallet.
     Caleb got hurt at the park yesterday. He slid on some mud and fell on some rocks and scraped his forearm pretty badly. I had to go and buy some refill supplies for my first aid kit as the neosporin was expired. I wrapped his arm up for him.
     I accidentally broke the water knob for the shower the other day when I was cleaning. I guess I pushed it too hard and it broke off.
     I told Caleb that I was going to run away because my son does not pick up his trash or put his dirty dishes in the sink. He replied "No you're not!" LOL I'm going to Canada where the weed is legal, and the healthcare is available to everyone, and things make sense!

     Rachel asked me yesterday if it was ok if she come today, instead of tomorrow, because of the forecasted thunderstorms on Tuesday. Sure. Since I did no work on the house yesterday, I'm in a rush to do as much as possible this morning. 
     Monday is weigh-in. I just weighed in and I lost 2.8lbs last week! Awesome! I will continue to try to do better.
      Well, I have an eye doctor appointment today, and Rachel is arriving today.
       Let's get to some pictures!
