Today's prompt is " What do you feel grateful for today?" Having food in the house, having a house, having Bella here, having Caleb here, my mental health, having a vehicle that runs and does not need repairs right now, free medical care for me and Caleb... that's what comes to mind right now.
It is now 7:58 a.m. here and I am waking up for the last time this morning. I woke up earlier because Caleb knocked the cord off the CPAP machine and I lost the air flow all of a sudden. It happened a few times during the night. I went ahead and took my iron pill at 5 something this morning so I would not have to wait so long to take my other medications and have something to eat.
Yesterday was an off day. I was achy and tired and wasted the afternoon in bed. I woke up with my back hurting this morning. I was so hot and sweaty that my clothes were stuck to me.
Today I have to take Caleb to the hospital to have some labs done. I was planning on going to Wilmington too, to return the shapewear to Lane Bryant, but I don't feel up to it.
Last night I was able to get Caleb's computer to install Adventure Academy. The problem was that the laptop was in S mode. When in S mode, apparently you cannot download and install apps that are not available in the Microsoft Store. Well, I was able to change that. So YAY! Caleb can use his computer for what it is meant for!
I was able to catch up with my Aunt Lisa last night. I'm glad I caught her because she has a busy week this week. My grandma passed away on November 9, 2019. The Jewish calendar remembers her death on October 29th this year.
Halloween is coming up and we are doing absolutely nothing for it. I am broke, and don't want to get sick. I already bought Caleb his favorite candy several times this month, so I feel no regrets for my decision to stay at home.
I am doing a cleanse with this Green Chili! LOL It's great because I have literally such a hard time pooping. Even with the 2 doses of Miralax a day, it can be painful. Greens and beans are awesome to help!
Caleb woke up when I did this morning. He is in for a rude awakening. He is not getting permission to play games on his phone until his schoolwork is done today. He is pissed at me right now, because he just requested screen time. He is calling me "a fucking asshole." He is yelling.
I am still hot and trying cool off in the air flow from the window unit. Neither of us has taken our morning medication yet. I need a shower. I might wait until tomorrow to take Caleb to the hospital for his labs. He has another appointment tomorrow. We can just make a day of running around.
So yesterday I got a letter from Optum /VA CCN/United Healthcare. It was the billing statement from the Emergency Room from when I went in September. The total cost was $2,983.39. The VA considers the matter paid and closed. It was just an acknowledgement letter showing the charges and what was paid by the VA. I can't believe I spent less than 4 hours at the ER and ran up a bill that high. Whew! What a relief that I don't have to come up with that money!
Oh I almost forgot that Caleb should have a prescribed cream at the pharmacy too. I will pick it up tomorrow too.
I was just singing to my Bella boo boo. I sing to her in the morning alot. It's a good way to start the day with love. My big puppy girl.
Caleb retreated to his bedroom after finally figuring out he couldn't force me to give him screen time. This is not going to be an easy day. I need to reprogram my son. Coding a computer program is easier! And I am not that good that ! LOL
I have Bella laying at my feet, all curled up. She wants to be with me always. I want her with me always too. I wish I could carry her around with me.
I better figure out what I need to do today, and get started. I am feeling a bit better.
