Today's prompt is "Water, ice, or steam?" Not having a clue what this is in reference to, I'm choosing ice.
It is now 1:10 a.m. here. Yesterday was a slow , but good day. I started up the laundry, started loading the dishwasher, and hand washing dishes. Caleb, Bella, and I went for a walk to the Veterans' Park. I made a cabbage and sausage dinner that was delicious.
I got a message from Rachel that really brightened my day even more. I love that woman.
Caleb just woke up and said, "Mom." , "I love you." Makes my heart happy. My baby.
Today we are going to Donna's to have a Thanksgiving gathering and meal. I am bringing 2 apple pies, 2 pumpkin pies, ice cream, and cool whip. I did not think it would be right to just show up and eat, without contributing.
I am so thirsty. I haven't been thirsty in awhile. My mouth is yucky and dry. My nose is dry. I need nasal spray. I need normal saline moisturizing nasal spray. My nose is so dry it hurts and bleeds. I have to remember to buy some when I go to buy the ice cream and cool whip.
I think I put too much wet laundry in the dryer for it to dry. The washing machine can wash more than the dryer can dry. It's not always easy to get the loads right.
So I talked to a new friend about applying for social security disability and I am sure I helped her alot. I gave her all the information she needed to fill out the application in the best way to get her claim approved. I told her to be as detailed, accurate, and honest as she could.
Craig has been prompting me to walk these past few days. It's nice of him to think about me when he goes to the gym to remind me to walk.
I had fun with Caleb. I got on his nerves by singing a song I made up to the tune of the national anthem. I used only Bella's nickname in singing it, "Boo boo." I often make up songs to sing to Bella in the morning and it drives Caleb crazy. It can be hilarious. It was today, and I even caught it on video.
We tried something called chocobites today. They were really good for being a healthy snack. It was some type of oatmeal-chocolate-dried fruit lump cookie type thing.
I am really loving this leave-in conditioner I bought from Great Clips. It does wonders for keeping my hair in order and not frizzy and untamed.
Caleb wanted to know what we are going to do with the roses that are now dying. I told him they were to honor grandma and grandpa, and they will be spread out in the yard.
Bella is sleeping in my bed. Caleb is sleeping on the couch. The air conditioner window unit is on but I can't feel it. I'm kind of hot. I know it's not hot in here though.
I am waiting on a refund from an impulse purchase I made. It was a Veterans' Day deal for a pair of wireless headphones for 50% off. It sounded awesome so I bought it. Not even an hour later I realized that I don't need them right now. I need the credit on my credit card more. By the time they got the message to cancel my order, it had already been shipped. I received it quickly, but it is taking forever to get back to them as a return to sender.
I downloaded the PBS video app so I can watch stuff on my phone. There is a WWII video that I found that I think would interest Caleb. I showed it to him and he said "Cool."
I wonder if I can get the History Channel app too.
Caleb wants to watch Charlie Brown, so I wanted to make sure he gets to see the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and also the Charlie Brown Christmas. It will be showing on PBS at a scheduled time.
I am using a duffel bag to keep Caleb's Christmas presents in and he has already been snooping around. I need to buy a lock to keep him from going in there. It's nice to be able to surprise him, but he can't keep himself out of my personal spaces, like my closet. Seriously, there is no reason for him to ever be in there.
Bella has a vet appointment coming up for her heartworm prevention shot. It costs alot because I get her the 12 month version of the shot, but I think it's worth it to not have to keep going to the vet. She does not do well around other animals and they have cats just walking around wherever in the office.
I wanted to buy Caleb a few thing from Michaels during their Black Friday sale, but I do not know if I will be able to. I need to buy Bella a few things from Chewy, like food and treats.
Our family is being sponsored by Generations Church this holiday season. We use to go there when I thought I could manage it. It's a modern non-denominational Christian church. I like it, I just didn't feel like I fit in there. I have alot of blockages towards people there, and I can't figure out why. I don't feel ok there. It's hard because I want to meet locals but I don't want to get into the details of my life because I hate feeling judged, or misunderstood. I don't live where there are many veterans, and there are even fewer women veterans. Add to that being a single parent with disabilities and things get awkward real fast.
Having relationships in person is hard for me because I often have to cancel plans due to unforeseen circumstances that are beyond my control. It gets tiresome to have to do that. I feel like I have to apologize for being disabled alot. I'd rather keep my relationships digital- online, text, or phone calls. Even when I am feeling bad I can do those.
I just used Cocoa butter on my scabs and in my nose. I hope it helps to heal them both without scars. I can't stopping picking at either. I feel my scabs and I just gotta pick them. I don't know why I can't just leave them alone. Even worse is that it takes so long to heal to begin with, so they are there for a long time. It sucks. It looks terrible. I have about 7 scabs across my second chin.
I saw Caleb's mustache today! LOL He is getting facial hair coming in already. It is still light, but I can see it. It is definitely there.
I have to go and figure out how to separate the laundry in the dryer so I can get Caleb some clean clothes for tomorrow. I'm going to go ahead and take my iron pill too, so I don't have to wake up at 6:30 a.m. to take it because it has to be taken on an empty stomach with orange juice.
