Today's prompt is " What do you want to postpone?" The hiring of a Supreme Court Justice.
It is now 1:22 a.m. here and I am awake because I am too warm and can not go back to sleep. Yesterday was almost completely unproductive. I did not accomplish much. I was totally and completely blah and not motivated. I was not in any pain, but I could not get going. I do not know why. I really just wanted to sty in bed, but I kept fighting it to get up and try to do things.
Caleb woke up just as I was laying down after I wrote my blog yesterday morning. I was not ready to be awake for the day, but he wanted me to wake up. He made me a breakfast of instant grits. I do love grits, but it wasn't enough to keep me awake. He went fishing, and I fell asleep. When I got up, I was hungry for salad, so I made myself a big bowl like usual. I had Caleb come home and he wanted grilled cheese sandwiches. I made him lunch, but he was still hungry!
I did no cleaning whatsoever. I sat in my chair at the table and web browsed, and window shopped. Before long I wanted to go back to bed. I rested with Bella for about an hour before getting back up and trying to do something with my day. I made myself a cup of coffee, which I never do anymore, in the hopes it would be enough to wake me up. It wasn't enough. Caleb found some loose change in his pockets, and wanted to go to Walmart. I had worked on making a grocery list earlier for whenever I decided to go. I decided to take him Walmart and grab a few groceries. I spent more than I wanted, but I got the things we needed. I bought Caleb some orange juice and some apple juice. I know how much he likes those fruit juices, and would rather him drink juice than soda.
I started cooking at 1:30 p.m., and when I got home, fully expected dinner would be ready to eat. It was not fully cooked yet. The chicken was still raw. Something is wrong with my crockpot. I set it to "high", meaning it should only take 4 hours to cook. It was warm, but not fully cooked. Something was wrong. I made tuna fish sandwiches for dinner. I was hungry and not willing to wait. I left the crockpot on, hoping that at some point it would finish cooking and I wouldn't have to throw away an entire meal.
After we ate dinner, and I put away the groceries Caleb brought in to the house, I tried to get Caleb to take the trash bins out to the road for pickup tomorrow. He began to get angry and rammed into me as he passed me by. It hurt my right shoulder. It made me angry! He stormed off to the back door. I gave him some space to think about what he had done, but realized he was crying for some reason. I walked to him to see why he was crying. Apparently he stepped on a pushpin. It was sticking out of his left heel. I told him to take the damn thing out! He didn't want to go to the hospital, but when he said it was rusty, I knew he had to go.
So there we are, as it was getting dark outside, going to the E.R. again. There was no one there waiting to be seen, so there was no wait time. Caleb was seen quickly and released just as quickly. I was worried about tetanus. I did not remember him having a tetanus shot. Apparently it is a requirement before enrolling in NC schools. I did not remember that.
When we came home, I could smell dinner. It was ready and fully cooked. It was about 9:00 p.m. It took 8 hours on "high", something is definitely wrong. I ordered a new crockpot to replace it so I don't have to worry about it anymore in the future. I did not want to spend the money, but what choice do I have? I use the crockpot frequently to cook meals. I can not be without one that works as it should. I had to use my credit card to pay for it. I did not have enough cash to cover it. Damn it. Just when I think everything is going to be ok, I get another expense out of the blue.
So the thing about Caleb. He had another outburst of anger yesterday. He was mad that I was making him pick up his trash in the yard, take the trash bins to the road, and take the trash out of the kitchen and watching him to make sure he did everything I said to do. What the Hell? He won't do it if he isn't supervised! What am I supposed to? Let the trash pile up, meanwhile leaving trash in the trash bins to not be picked up? Yeah right! I hate having trash around. He was all like "Stop watching me!" , "I am not a baby!" "I don't need you to watch me!" Well, yeah, you do need me to watch you to make sure you do what I say, and do it right!
I did not ask him to do much the entire day because basically I was taking the day off. The only thing that absolutely has to get done on Sunday, is taking the trash bins to the road. That's it, and it's not news. Caleb has been taking the trash bins to the road for more than a year now. He may have been taking it out to the road for many years by now. I don't remember when I started having him do that for me.
So that was my day. I gave Bella her treatments. Everybody got their medications. I tried the full spectrum lemon peel supplement and the cocao supplement to see if I noticed anything different. I was still tired and lifeless the whole day. I will continue to take the lemon peel because it is full of anti-oxidants. I probably won't take the cocao supplement though. I am waiting on the Rosemary supplement and the back pain supplement to arrive, but they have not been shipped yet.
Bella has learned to run away when she sees me bring out the green shopping bag. That bag has her medication in it. She does not like to have her ears or paws treated. She does not notice the pills as they are given with peanut butter. She likes the allergy supplement chews.
