5 Year Journal Day 190

      Today's prompt is " What do you have to lose?" I have to lose weight to get healthy. 

     It is now 5:43 a.m. here. Yesterday was not a productive day. Yesterday, Caleb slept in to almost noon. I slept in to almost 11 a.m., but then I ended up going back to bed after lunch. I was just exhausted and drinking Dew was not giving me the boost I needed to change that around. I slept for most of the day. 

     So, there is not much to report. I do not remember my dreams. Caleb woke me up for dinner and night time medications. I could have slept through the day and night and not gotten up again. I was just that tired. 

     Yesterday was Black Friday. I did not do any Christmas shopping because I am broke. I wish I could have shopped because there were things I wanted to buy for Caleb, family, and friends. I was able to buy some better supporting bras because I have a store credit card with Lane Bryant. It was a $25 sale. Can't beat that. Better support means better posture. Better posture means I am able to move more without as much pain. That means I can stop gaining weight, and maybe begin to lose weight. It was important to me, and so I splurged. I just want to see if the maximum control sports bra does a better job than the bra I currently use. If not, I will return the unworn one. I hope it does though. I really need to be able to stand up straight. 

     I accidentally scratched my arm scab in my sleep because it itched and began bleeding. 

     Caleb is asleep on the couch. Bella is curled up on my bed. Today is Saturday. I have no plans. I hope I feel better and can get the laundry washed. 

     I just want to stay at home at chill out. If I can get the laundry started when I wake up, it is not a big deal to keep it going. Getting started is the hardest part. 

     I missed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on Thanksgiving Day. I really wanted to watch it. 

     I have to get the cable boxes fixed so we can watch tv again. I don't want to miss all the Christmas movies. 

     I am still tired. I am going to take my iron pill and orange juice and go back to bed. Hopefully I will feel refreshed when I wake up.
