Today's prompt is "What do you lie about?" I don't know. I don't lie, because I wouldn't be able to keep up with the lies, and it's easier on me to tell the truth. Besides, telling the truth saves time and energy, and it's the right thing to do.
It is now 12:22 a.m. here. Caleb is finally asleep. Bella is curled up in my bed. Yesterday was a slow moving day. I was slow moving, rather. I did not get out of bed until almost noon. I did not start doing anything until almost 2 p.m. I washed a couple loads of laundry. I unclogged the bathroom sink drain with the snake. I had Caleb take the trash to the roadside for pickup today. I got Caleb to pick up his laundry from the hallway floor and put it into a basket to be washed. I got Caleb to put away 2 baskets of his clean clothes in his room, and give me the baskets back.
Caleb played for most of the day. I got some of my medications in the mail, and Caleb got a package from a group I had not heard of before in Arkansas. They were gifts that were donated. He received a couple gardening books and a wall calendar, as well as a gift card! I know this was due to Violet's request for us, since she is the only one I know from Arkansas. I wish I could thank her again.
Today I have an appointment on the phone with a pharmacist at the VA who specializes in Diabetes medication. I will be talking to her about increasing my insulin sensitivity and finding something to help me lose weight.
Other than that, there is nothing really going on. I am taking it slow for as long as I can. I just don't feel like I have energy. I am still tired. I was tired yesterday when I woke up.
It is nice and comfortable in here, not too cold, not too warm, just right.
I plan on raking the hallway at some point. Yes, I use a rake to gather the small things on the floor into a pile. I cannot bend over like I could when I was thinner. This makes it easier on me. Anyway, I will rake the hallway floor and collect whatever is left now that Caleb has picked up the dirty laundry. I will shop vac the hallway, pet vac the hallway, and then clean with the new carpet cleaner machine.
I will continue to wash laundry until it is all clean, folded, and put away. I want to start the new year with a cleaner home.
If I have nothing to do on Tuesday, I can clean the full bathroom. It needs to be cleaned from top to bottom. I need to buy more draino for the bathtub drain. I need to throw away the things I will never use that were given to me. They are taking up space and creating clutter. Most of them have been used to almost gone when they were given to me.
Creating clean spaces in the house is cathartic. It helps me clear my mind as well as clean the house.
I found some of my socks, but am still missing quite a few. I don't know where they went. I keep my dirty socks in a pile in my room until I am ready to wash them, so they do not get lost. You would think that would be enough to keep them together, but apparently not.
Friday, a guy is supposed to come over and at the minimum remove the recliner from the living room and the couch from the porch. Hopefully he will be able to fit more than that in the load that is being hauled away. I am trying to save cash on hand for that, and not spend any money. It is not easy. We go through alot of bread in this house. Caleb can and has eaten whole loaves in the middle of the night before. I have enough orange juice, which I always have to keep in stock. I have enough meats for dinners. I just bought more vegetables, which brought my balance in my account to less than $100 that I was going to use to have the furniture hauled away.
I know we can make it until Thursday, when I get paid. I just hate being in this position.
I am not going to go to Donna's for dinner when Alisa and her family returns. I feel like shit, and do not want to be around people. Besides, Alisa just went to visit family in West Virginia for a week, and is going to "quarantine" as much as possible while still going to work. I just don't wanna.
I have not been able to read more of that book yet. I am trying to get things the way I want them in my house, while people are on leave and we don't have appointments to go to. I have spent so much energy running around this month, that I really haven't made any progress. I have just barely been able to keep up with the kitchen which is in daily use.
I am on a cleaning mission. I have alot of goals I want to complete. I want to restore order to my daily life, and safety in my home. With all this mess, it is not only a fire hazard, but a falling hazard.
I am almost out of my multivitamins and I ordered from Swanson Vitamins at the beginning of December and have not received my order. I am growing impatient, and do not want to have to buy more multivitamins from the store, when I bought some and they are not here yet.
I think I am going to move the laundry around and get it started again. I would then like to read for awhile, while it is quiet in here, and I have no expectations of myself to be doing anything else. Of course, I can't forget to take my iron pill and orange juice. I will do that before anything else, because I will forget if I don't.
