I found out that I don't like catfish, at least not the way I cooked it.
Rachel left to go home this morning. She was having trouble sleeping without her CPAP, which is she forgot at home. I totally get it. I would not be able to breathe at night without the use of my CPAP. She promises to come back soon. We had fun!
Caleb and I had it out today. We yelled at each other and I really told the truth. Caleb was being an absolute asshole, and I told him just that. He broke down crying, once I told him why I felt that way. He had gone to the Veterans' Park, and ignored my phone calls. Once I finally got his attention to answer the phone, he hung up on me when I told him to come home. An hour later, he wasn't home. I called him over and over and over, and he never answered. I finally got him to answer the phone and I yelled at him to get his ass home now! I was pissed! So, when we were arguing, I told him he didn't care about me, because how did it make me feel when he didn't answer? Wasn't I worried if he was ok? He was telling me that I didn't care about him. Well, I told him different. And that's when he started crying and apologizing. I told him he was forgiven but he wasn't going to the park tomorrow, and not to do that again. Doing that meant I couldn't trust him. It means that he is not old enough to go out alone.
I did my walking a little longer today. It was 40 minutes instead of 30 minutes. I have 3 more days of walking ahead of me. I'm going to try to keep this program for the rest of the week. I felt looser today, like I had more range of motion, which is a great thing. I heard some cracking while I was walking, in my lower back. I think I might actually be able to keep this up. I think I might actually be able to succeed long term!
Today I found that someone has stolen my instagram photos and put them on a new account, and is posing to be me. I reported that person's account, and made some posts on facebook to my friends. I don't understand what someone could possibly get out of pretending to be me. It's really disgusting what people will do.
I found a scammer in my one of my veterans' groups and fell down the rabbit hole. I took screen shots of all the conversations I had with the scammers. Once I had enough, I posted to one of the veterans' groups I belong to. I belong to a lot of veterans' groups, and I could not find which one I belong to that she posted to. She wasn't happy. I don't trust "her" or the person she referred me to. Just another attempt to gain access to someone's bank account.
I have been drinking my water and Miralax drinks like I'm supposed to. Pat on the back for me! I bought a lot of different types of fish on Tuesday. I plan on incorporating more fish into my diet, and because my dad never allowed seafood in the house, I don't know what I like. I found out tonight that I don't like catfish. I also bought snapper, haddock, and salmon. Of course I couldn't go without buying Caleb and me some shrimp. We already know we love shrimp! I know I like tilapia, and have some in the freezer already. I also bought some scallops. All were on sale, and I wouldn't have been able to afford them if they weren't.
I was able to catch a photo with Rachel before she left. She's not big on taking photos, but I take photos like I drink water.
This is us. I told her I haven't smiled like that in ages. Old friends growing old together. Such goodness. I love her so much!
I was finally able to gift her the box of trinkets I've been saving all this time! I haven't mailed it to her, because I haven't had the extra money. AND, I was able to give her the extra sweater I accidentally bought! She's wearing it in this photo! It's a funny story. One day there was a sale and I bought this sweater for a deep discount. I wore it a few times and forgot about it. Some weeks later it went on a final sale for something like $10. I loved it in the ad, and I couldn't resist buying it again. I didn't know I was buying the same thing twice! Once I got it and opened the package, I thought, wait a second. Don't I have a sweater like this already? I went to check, and YES, I did have that exact sweater! Oh man! It was a final sale, which means no returns! I did not know what to do with the extra sweater, until Rachel came over, and she was wearing a sweater. Got it! I'll give her the extra sweater, and hopefully it fits! She tried it on and she liked it! I was so happy! It still had the tag on it! I just love that soft blush rose color.
Caleb says he misses Rachel already. He found her Dr. Pepper receipt from Lowe's Foods and didn't want to throw it away because he wanted Rachel back. I'm glad he likes her a lot. She's a good person.
I made a comment on an Army instagram post and got a reply from a fellow Combat Medic! I feel so happy to be acknowledged!
This is Mathew, Phayth (my friend), and me in my dorm room at UNC-Greensboro freshman year.
This was my dog, Peabody.
This was me when I cam home from Basic Training for Christmas Leave.
Before the Army. Nigel and my apartment in Greensboro. Peabody and me.
My friends... I forgot the first girl's name, but next to here is Wanda, and me. Girls' night out. Greensboro.
Puppy Peabody! Greensboro.
Peabody and Nigel. Greensboro.
Girls' night out. Anna and me. Greensboro. Anna and I were dorm mates freshman year at UNC-Greensboro. We shared a portion of a house together the summer after freshman year. She worked at an Italian restaurant, and I worked at a Mexican restaurant. We use to go out on the weekends together. I loved dancing at the night clubs, and most often we got in free and didn't spend but a few dollars on bottled water. We were too young to drink. We would go fashionably late, and stay until they closed. We would make our own homemade milk shakes at home, after stopping at Food Lion to pick up the black cherry ice cream and milk. This picture was taken when she returned home from her study abroad terms in England. I had gained a lot of weight due to lack of activity and depression.
Peabody. Greensboro. Could never keep his hair done. Always had to cut it short, especially because it got so hot in the Summer.
Peabody and me! Greensboro. I was heavy before I left to Basic Training.
Freshman Intro class at UNC-Greensboro. Notice I was the only tie-dye, hemp wearing hippie! The year was 2001, not far from 9/11. I pulled all the hair out of my eyebrows out of boredom, anxiety, and frustration. Check it out. I'm wearing one of the hemp necklaces I made. I ended up making a bunch of them and selling them to the head shop downtown. Felt pretty good to make my own stuff. Didn't look like it was from China, that's for damn sure! My stuff was unique!
Me at some kind of free day at Basic Training. This was during my second BCT class.
My dad, Phayth, and me. Notice the hemp in my hair. Yeah. The year was 2001. Look at us now. Still trying to make hemp mainstream. Had I known better, I would have applied to UNC-Asheville. I would have been around a lot more hippies and not been such an outcast! City life is not the life for me. My soul died in Greensboro.
This is Caleb's 100 day photo. I keep this picture in my wallet, and it might be the only copy of it I have. I wish to hold this baby again. I love that baby. Korea. 2009
