5 Year Journal Day 150

      Today's prompt is "If you didn't have any responsibilities for the day, what would you do?" I would stay in bed and probably catch up on sleep.

     It is now 2:45 a.m. here, and I am awake for no particular reason. Yesterday was a good day. I baked a spice cake with cream cheese frosting to take to Donna's house. I got a good and hot shower and wore clothes that I bought more than a month ago but never saw any reason to wear. We went over to Donna's house for a midday dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, and potato salad. All of it was delicious! I hung out with Donna for a few hours, before I realized that I missed my afternoon medications, and did not pack any in my purse. So we left sooner than we would have if I had packed them. I had a really good time, and so did Caleb. Caleb hasn't had any friends to hang out with either. 

     I came home, and took my medications, and needed a nap. That was pretty much my whole day in a nutshell. It was relaxing and fun. It was a nice change of pace and appropriate for a Sunday.

     I posted photos on Facebook and actually got comments from more than my mom and Aunt Lisa! It was fantastic! 

     I have not worked on this week's schedule yet, but I know I have going on , on Tuesday. I have to wake up early to go pick up food from the food distribution. I get paid on Tuesday too, so that means I have to pay bills. Then there's yoga with Dr. Gellman. I will be worn out by noon on Tuesday. Other than that, I'm not really sure yet what else I have going on. 

     Fernando is going to be in Brazil by the end of the week. 

     I still have not heard anything about my diabetic shoes arriving. I expect to pick them up this week.

     It is cool enough to wear jeans without sweating profusely! I wore jeans yesterday! Woop! Woop!

     I am feeling better since taking the iron correctly. I hope to see more improvements in the future. 

     I have a new penpal. I have to write her this week. I have not written to someone I don't yet know since elementary school when I had a penpal in England. It should be interesting.

     I am not feeling too talkative right now. It's strange because I usually have a lot to talk about, but no one to talk to. I've been chatting more with other women veterans online, and things are looking up. I feel like I have more of a tribe now. I am part of a community of people who actually exist and care enough to respond. I didn't have to become something I am not in order to fit in either. I was accepted as I am. It's awesome. Ask and you shall receive. I am blessed.
