Today's prompt is "How much cash do you have in your wallet? In your bank account?" Well, I don't carry cash anymore, so I only have some loose change in my wallet. As for my bank account, I have about $70 to last me me the rest of the month because I just paid the second half of my bills, and went grocery shopping yesterday.
It is now 3:51 a.m. and I am awake because I keep waking up. As tired as I was at the end of the day, I could not fall asleep. I am sleeping by myself tonight. Bella is sleeping with Caleb in his bed. I have the bed all to myself and I cannot sleep! WTF is this? SMDH.
Yesterday was busy as fuck. We got up at 0800 and immediately had to leave to get to the food distribution site on time. With arrived there at 0837 and were already late, even though the letter stated to not arrive before 0845. I was worried that we would wait all the time to be given food, only for them to run out. They only serve the first 150 cars, or until they run out, whichever comes first. 3 County Transportation Buses were seen ahead of everybody, and my heart sunk. I thought for sure they would run out before getting to us because of that. Thank God, they had enough for us! I did not want to have to do that again today. They only distribute food for 3 consecutive days in the entire month, for the month. We went to pay the water bill immediately after that, as it was due that day, and has to be paid in person. When we got home, it was already 1100.
I immediately set to make us some grilled cheese sandwiches for brunch, while Caleb brought the bags inside. I put away the groceries, and found a whole frozen chicken! I decided to use that for dinner with the collard greens that Caleb left out and were drying up. I did not end up trying dinner last night because of what happened next. I took a short 1 hour break, because Caleb woke me up before I could actually recharge. I had gotten a package in the mail. We left to go to Walmart and grab some groceries that we needed. We came home and Caleb brought the bags in, and put the food away. First though, I had to have a snack! I had cantina style tortilla chips and jalepeno artichoke dip! Delicious! So delicious that I could not stop myself from eating the whole container of dip. So... that's why I didn't eat dinner. I was still full from eating all those calories!
I sat down and knew I had to pay the bills still. I went online and paid the rest of the bills. I was exhausted. I think it was around 3:30 when we got home from Walmart, and around 4:30 by the time I finished paying the rest of the bill online.
Then, I wanted to reach out to the wonderful women who befriended me on facebook and let them know I was thinking about them, I was just abnormally busy this week.
At some point I took my night time medications, and began to try to clean up the kitchen a bit. I didn't get far, but I did pick up some trash and recycling, and load the dishwasher so I could run it. I know it doesn't sound like I did much, but believe me when I say all these errands were time consuming at the least. I was so exhausted at the end of the day. You know what? I laid down and couldn't sleep. It might have just been too early for me, but I was done.
I got overheated walking from Walmart to the Mazda. My face got bright red, I was sweating, and I was out of breath. I was just dressed way to warmly for the day. I wasn't wearing my usual shorts and tank tunic top. I was wearing skinny jeans and a tee shirt. My hair was down with the top pulled back in a clip. Too damn hot. My hair makes me so damn hot when it is not greased and pulled in a pony tail or bun. That's the great thing about doing that. Is it fashionable? No. Does is make people question my hygiene? Probably. You don't normally see white women with their hair greased. Anyway, I had to cool down when we got to the van. I sat in the Mazda for about 15 minutes with the air conditioning blowing on me and drank a Gatorade Zero I had just bought. So thirsty too.
I went ahead and ordered Bella a few supplies she needed from Chewy. I gave her the Bravecto dose she was scheduled for. I ordered her next dose which she gets every 3 months , so it will be here before she needs it. I ordered her 2 beef knuckles, some cookies, and the orange ball she loved so much when we first adopted her. I was lucky to have the money to pay for things, so I spent it on her like I was wanting to do. I almost didn't because I was afraid I would not have enough money for groceries and gas until the next payday.
I messaged Billy to see if he could the new sheet set. I also told him about the towels he left here, and the pot we borrowed and never gave back. So, I am scheduled to bring that stuff to him tomorrow while I am in Wilmington. I have to go to Wilmington anyway to pick up my diabetic shoes.
I ran out of energy before I could get to writing my new penpal, take photos of my sacred spaces, or charge the Volvo to drive it. Maybe I can do those things today.
I just cancelled the text banking I was going to do for the Biden/Harris team. It started at 6 p.m. and ran until 8 p.m. I just can't see myself having the energy to do that right now. I don't want to take a spot that someone else who can actually sit there and do that, could do.
Yeah, I forgot to say that I had to cancel my yoga therapy appointment with Dr, Gellman and the ladies because I was stuck waiting for the food distribution. I thought I would make it home in time for the 1030 online appointment. I even thought about doing it by phone, but I was in the car and not able to move very much. So, I just did some head rolls, and some shoulder circles just now. I can tell my body missed yoga. There are all kids of pops and crackling in my neck and my shoulders were high to my ears.
So, I was not in a lot of pain yesterday. That is a blessing. The supplements I take really make the difference. I take one supplement called Fibromyalgia Symptom Relief, and another that is Back Pain. With those two, I don't have to take all those other supplements for inflammation. I have like 5 supplements for inflammation, and it's such a pain in the ass to have to take all those pills more than once a day.
So yeah. That was my day. Busy, busy, busy. Tomorrow, I think I only have to go to Billy's now, and also pick up my diabetic shoes. Dinner is cooked from yesterday, so I don't even have to worry about that. At least, I hope that's all I have to do. Caleb and I need to sit down and get some work done. Actually, Caleb has to prepare the yard to be mowed on Thursday! Damn.
I'm on my last Dew for the morning. If I don't stop drinking now, I will not have an empty stomach to take my iron pill. I've been doing good with that.
I'm tired. My body is tired, but I'm not sleepy. This sucks.
Caleb has a laptop now. He got it the in the mail on Monday. So, we are going to load some educational games on there for him to practice his math and language skills, in addition to the Adventure Academy game.
I was able to perform yesterday in a way that I have not performed in a very long time. I hope I don't have a flare up because I am pushing myself so hard. I've got to get some rest before dawn.
