Today's prompt is " Who do you aspire to be like?" I'm not sure.
It is now 9:31 a.m. here. Caleb woke me up at 9:00. I had a rough night. The central air conditioning stopped working yesterday and it got hot in the house. I had a hard time falling asleep because I was too warm. Luckily for us, a thunderstorm rolled in and cooled the house down in the middle of the night. We have a portable air conditioner in my room, and a large window unit in the living room. It dropped 9 degrees in the house overnight. I have to find a way to afford to have someone come check out the central air conditioning AGAIN. Damn it!
I finally got the Volvo inspected yesterday. I was there at the inspection station 3 minutes before opening, and I was already late. There were more than 3 people ahead of us. I used the waiting time to use my alpha-stim.
I accidentally paid for my registration and taxes before I knew what I had done, so it the funds came out of an account I was unprepared for. Anyway, I guess it's done.
Caleb is very hyperactive this morning. I am not a morning person and he is in my face. He is loud and active. I am not ready. He needs a sedative. Seriously.
I don't know what came over me, but after having some salad for breakfast, I was so sleepy and tired. I stayed in bed for most of the rest of the day. I had been out in the sun, waiting for my car, and I am not supposed to be in sunlight. Sure, it's good for the average person, but I take a lot of medications, and it's not good for me. I think that may have had something to do with it. I was out there sitting in the outside waiting area (not outside by choice) for over 40 minutes. I was plenty hydrated. I even carried a Gatorade with me. It wasn't that.
I may also have been reacting to the oncoming thunderstorm that really didn't reach us until the middle of the night. I usually develop symptoms of the weather changing in advance.
In any case, yesterday was an appointment-free day that was supposed to be used to work on the living room mess. Yeah, that didn't happen. Not even a little bit.
Today we are going to return the chromebook we checked out in March from Caleb's school. I have my Wounded Warrior Project check-in call before we start classes next week. Caleb has his occupational therapy appointment. It's going to be a busy day. I already feel behind as I "slept in." I really didn't sleep well. I kept waking up with extremely dry mouth. I wonder if there is a mouth gel I can use before I go to sleep. I still have not bought the eye ointment for use before I sleep to keep my eyes moistened.
I decided to wear lipstick today. Then I realized that no one will see how beautiful it makes me because I have to wear a mask. I'm still going to wear it. It's bold and fantastic! I hate that people can't see my nose piercings too. It's part of my body art.
I'm not in pain today though! Woop! Woop! And the window unit is keeping the open area that is the kitchen space, dining space, and living room cool. Bella slept with Caleb where it was cooler last night. She greeted me this morning by jumping on my bed and laying on top of me with her face in my face! "Good morning Bella boo boo!" I swear she is the best fur baby I could ever have asked for. I love her so much.
So I almost forgot the fight I got in with Caleb yesterday. It started out with me taking a nap in the afternoon. Caleb woke me up for the second time. He came in my room with the box of special Hot Wheels and asked if he has earned one yet. No. Definitely not. I was in a sour mood due to being woken up again, and not exactly having patience. Somehow the conversation turned to the salad I made. He was arguing that I had already put dressing on the salad, and he doesn't like dressing. we went back and forth a few times, until I questioned him. "Are you calling me a liar?" He responded "Yes" I told him to get the fuck out of my room! He responds "I'm calling the police!" Ugh. I HATE drama! I just wanted to sleep!
I reached out to my Aunt Lisa and Nichole. I needed help with the situation, even if it was just to vent. Minutes later, Caleb came back to my room and apologized. I told him that if he meant his apology, that would never happen again.
Later in the evening, Caleb volunteered to rub my back with pain relief cream for me. He then rubbed my feet, which may have been swollen, and gave me a pedicure. He loves to paint my nails. I can't reach my feet, so I depend on him, because I can't afford to go to a salon or spa.
I, in return, rubbed his back with "Stress Relief" body cream from Bath & Body Works. He really likes that one. He wanted me to put body cream on his legs, so I did. He also wanted me to rub his feet, so I did. And we were both relaxed.
So, I'm not exactly motivated about today. I'm kinda draggin ass already. I just feel slow and heavy and want to veg out on my bed all day. It's 10:19 a.m. now. Caleb has gone on his morning walk. He needed to go get out some energy for sure. Bella is back on the couch. I guess I should find something to eat now, and start my morning routine.
