It is now 3:01 a.m. and I am awake because I developed yuck mouth and needed a soda to clear it out. Yesterday was a pretty good day. i tried to chill out and relax as much as possible. I still emailed my PCP, and my neurologist. I finally got my travel pay documentation emailed in. Let's see, I watched the first of some videos that I signed up to watch that were free. I created a new spreadsheet so I could print out a worksheet to log my blood pressures on. Yesterday was the first whole day of taking my dietary supplements for weight management. It wasn't bad. I don't know how much it helped, but I was able to try it.
I fully loaded the dishwasher, and washed some dishes by hand before making dinner. It was not what I planned on making, but it made my life easier. I made haddock fillets, broccoli, and black beans for dinner. It was a good dinner for me.
I went to Publix for Caleb, and ended up buying a few things. I got one thing for free, because an old sale sign was left up, and I was not charged that price. The manager gave it to us for free when we brought it up after she realized the mistake. It was 1 lbs. of imitation crab meat, that was supposed to be $5.99/lbs. but was rung up for $7.19/lbs. or something like that. Anyway, free food ! I was so happy!
Yeah, so, that was pretty much my day. Not very exciting, but very relaxing. I was trying to stay low key and not stress. Today is Halloween. Caleb is going to go celebrate with a friend of his. I will stay at home. It is easier that way.
I was going to try to go to Wilmington tomorrow, but I have decided it can wait a few days. I need to return that shapewear to Lane Bryant to get my money back.
I was not successful taking my blood pressure throughout the day because I did not think about it at all, so I did not remember to do it. I need to do better today.
I do not have much planned for today. I need to finish cleaning up the kitchen, pick up some trash here and there, and get some laundry done. I am still going to try to keep it relaxed and not raise my blood pressure. Nice and easy does it.
I think I need another 3 ring binder and a college ruled notebook journal of some sort. I am going to have to shop around for the perfect journal. This next year is going to be different.
I have put together a list of things I would like to buy one day from amazon for my collections. I have some herbs and things I would like to have.
I would like to get rid of this china cabinet so I can have my bookcase where it now stands. There is so much I would like to do around here. The work is never-ending. I have to learn to not stress about it though because it is not going to dramatically change anytime soon, and stressing about it doesn't make it better.
November is right around the corner. My anniversary date of exiting the Army is the day after Veterans' Day. It will have been a whole 10 years since I have been out of the service. I can't believe it has been that long, but I can believe it at the same the same time. I am so glad I got the nerve to enlist. I fought the idea of going into the military for so long. I wanted to go to college and make good money for my lifetime doing something I liked. I did not want to be yelled at, and forced to do things that were unpleasant, or go fight wars. After I saw Mathew graduate Basic Training though, I knew I could be ok if I tried it too. It changed my life forever. I have experienced things only a small percent of the female population has experienced, and succeeded. Then I went to college and graduated, an even smaller amount of the female population has done both served in the military and graduated with a bachelor's degree.
I celebrate both Veterans' Day and my ETS date, so November 11th and 12th. Caleb just woke up and got mad at me for eating the rest of the cookies. Oops! I got the sugar munchies, and could not stop myself. He wanted to give some to his friend, Lonnie Jr. I think they will be plenty ok with all that candy they are about to get for Halloween.
Oh, I almost forgot. I gave myself a hair removal facial yesterday morning. Check it out.
This versus this:
You can't really tell, but I have a beard, and a mustache that I got rid of. I also did my eyebrows. I am quite proud.
Bella just got up. My boo boo, boo boo!
So I have made a commitment for the next year to be involved in a women's group. I am going to learn things and grow in this group and I am very excited about it. It will require work on my part, so that will not be easy, but I will try my best.
Soon it will be Thanksgiving, and then even sooner Christmas! Oh my! I love the holidays. I love getting together with family and spending time together. I love to cook all day and relax on the couch. I love to share a big meal with people. Unfortunately, I will not be able to visit family this year, but we will be with friends, and that's good too.
The election will soon be over. November 3rd is next week.
Well, I guess I don't have much to say this morning.
