5 Year JOurnal Day 185

      Today's prompt is " What was the last beach you went to?" Uh.. Oak Island beach.

     It is now 3:59 a.m. Yesterday was unproductive. I did not complete any tasks, and that is ok. I rested. I sat in my chair at the dinner table and pretty much web browsed most of the day. My Aunt Lisa called me, and we spoke for a few minutes. My mom called and we spoke too. I did not feel energetic and no motivation to do much of anything. I felt sluggish and tired. I didn't want to go anywhere. I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to be still. Sometimes, it's just like that. 

     Today Caleb has 2 appointments. He goes to see his therapist and his occupational therapist. 

     I have been dealing with Billy being in jail and communicating for him to his friends and his girlfriend. He is trying to get out of jail, and no one can help him. No one he knows can get him out. 

     Black friday deals have already started. I hate that I can't shop because I have no money. I am glad I bought that turkey dinner though. I gave Caleb one his presents early because he wanted to have shoes to wear in the  house. He keeps stepping on sand spurs. So, I gave him a pair of new slip on shoes that I bought as one his Christmas presents to wear.

     I finally got a response from a local homeschooling mom that I emailed a few weeks ago. She responded and let me know what end-of-year test she uses. I went to go see how much it costs, and it is only $25. Thank God. I thought I was going to have to come up with hundreds of dollars. 

     I started taking my appetite suppressant supplements yesterday. I think it will take about a week to see results. My digestion is so slow, and I think it needs to be in system regularly to feel the effects. I hope something works. So far, the supplements I take for pain have really helped  me. 

     I mailed my pen pals on Saturday. I hope they get my letters soon. 

     I have not been studying lately. I need to get back on track. 

     A neighbor brought Caleb her grandsons' hand me down clothes for Caleb yesterday. She does that every so often. 

     I still have a mess in my workspace to clean up. Sometimes being in social situations can drain me. I'm not in them very often, but when I am, it takes a day or two to recover and get back to my normal. 

     I don't have much to say today.
