Today's prompt is " What are you exploring?' I am exploring mental health as it pertains to myself and to Caleb.
It is now 2:40 a.m. and I am awake because I craved something salty. I did not have anything salty, but I did have leftover chicken fajitas from dinner last night, so I made myself one. It was delicious. Yesterday was a busy day. I worked most of the day. When I got up in the morning, I went ahead and started working on the bills. When I was done, it was lunchtime. I made myself a couple of sandwiches and then I got the text that Caleb's prescription was ready at the pharmacy so we left to go run errands. I was able to put gas in the Mazda, stop at Walmart for a few groceries, and pick up Caleb's medication. When I got home, I was more than tired. I went to take a nap, and when I woke up, I was in immense whole body pain. I must have missed a dose of my fibromyalgia supplement or something. I was hot from the inflammation and sore all over. It was awful. I had to quickly take a supplement and wait for it to work before I could do anything else. I had plans to make chicken fajitas for the first time ever, and really had a craving for them since I had been thinking about them for more than a day. I was hungry but couldn't cook. I was worried that I might not be able to cook dinner, but eventually the supplement began working and I began to feel better.
When I took Caleb with me to Walmart, I wanted him to calculate the amount of spending we were doing, but he had a bad attitude about it and didn't want to cooperate. When we made it to the produce, I showed him how to weigh some apples, and some sweet potatoes, to figure out how much the total cost would be since they were sold by the pound. When we made it to the self-checkout, I let him do all the work for the first time ever. He complained, but at the end, I think he was proud of his accomplishment because on the way to the Mazda he told me that I made him "have a good day for once." LOL
I planned on giving Bella a spa day at home, but we ran out of time. Caleb was preparing her for a bath by brushing her, right before we left to go run errands. I needed bell peppers to make dinner a success, and needed sandwich-making supplies. I need to trim and file Bella's nails, even if I don't get to the rest of her spa day.
I wanted to work on math with Caleb at home, but when we had to go out to get his medications, I made it a worthwhile trip out. So I just tried to incorporate his math lesson into the day organically. I did not have a lot of trouble with Caleb today, but I couldn't get him to fill my water jug. I was thirsty and needed to take my medication and he wasn't wanting to get me water. Eventually he got me some water, but it wasn't until much later.
Yeah, so, I spend a lot of time when paying the bills because I have a lot of accounts. I am able to pay most things online, so that makes things easier, but I inspect the accounts one by one to ensure that no charges are fraudulent. It takes time. It wears me out, quite frankly. It takes a lot of brain energy. I am surprised I had a relatively good day. It was not totally pain-free, but almost was. I went ahead and cancelled my Moms' church group for tomorrow because I was feeling shitty, and did not know if I would continue to feel shitty.
Bell a just came out to find me. I think she wants me to go back to bed, and tonight, I am ready to go with her.
