5 Year Journal Day 66

     Today's prompt is "Who is your nemesis?" Trump. I hate Trump. Trump hates everything I hold dear.

     It is 1:58 am here now. Yesterday was so much better. I was able to get some house work done because it was cooler inside. The central air guy came and checked out the central air system. Turns out the drain pipe was clogged! No repairs were needed! Oh such good news! I thought for sure something serious was wrong. I'm so happy to have my air conditioning back. It feels so much better in here. Even Bella is happier! Caleb slept under the window unit on the couch last night, and is there again tonight. I think he found his new sleep place. I'm loving sleeping on the bed. The drama is over for now!
     I started the laundry yesterday. I started the dishwasher yesterday. I cleaned off the kitchen island yesterday. I made a tasty pot roast for dinner. It's a good place for me to be. I can take a regular shower now. I need "defunk and rerag."
     I've been looking around for homeschool ideas. There's so much to do!
     Caleb just woke up. Bella is laying in her favorite place to wait for me to go back to bed. Friends was on, but Caleb changed it back to Sponge Bob.
     Now that the air conditioning drama is over, I have to reset myself. I have an appointment with my neurologist in the afternoon by phone. Other than that, I don't know what to do yet.
     I'm at a loss for words, so here's a photo I took of Bella on the bed.


     I love that tapestry in my room. It's so beautiful.

     What's going on in the world? Well, a third body of an Army soldier has been found outside of of Ft. Hood. People are still going crazy about "Black Lives Matter." COVID-19 is running rampant in the U.S. Women are making it to powerful positions in the military for the first time. Parents are struggling with what decisions to make about the upcoming school year. The Presidential Election is coming up in November. Lane Bryant is filing Chapter 11. Catherine's is closing it's stores.
   
     I feel so lost. I have been so concerned about my air conditioning this week and making it to appointments, and Bella, that I have lost sight of other things. I wonder what today holds. I would like to do more laundry, finish washing the dishes, clean the countertops and stovetop, clean the microwave, sweep the kitchen floor... and who knows what else I might be able to get done.
     I know I am taking a staycation this weekend. I am going to veg out and relax. I want to catch up on some reading, and course work. I'm not going to to do any deep cleaning. So maybe I will go grocery shopping today, so I don't have to go out this weekend. It's a good thing I have the EBT, because I have no cash. I spent it all on air conditioning. It would totally suck without it, because I am out of my cereal and almond milk as well as other groceries.
