Today's prompt is "What do you like best about your body today?' I like that I can make changes to be more or less pain-free.
It is now 2:19 a.m. here. Yesterday I spent most of the day washing dishes. I loaded the dishwasher and ran it. I hand washed at least 3 dish strainer loads in addition to that. I was trying to finish washing the dishes that I want to donate in time to donate them to Hope Chest, the local thrift store whose profits go directly to supporting the local Women and Children's domestic violence shelter, Hope Harbor.
Caleb helped me by bringing the cookware to the van and putting them in the trunk to deliver today. We were supposed to be working on the living room floor as well, but I could not get Caleb to work, and I did not want to expend energy manipulating him to do what he should do. I did what I could to make the kitchen easier to work in and maintain.
Caleb and I got into an argument about dinner. You see I had taken the leftover chicken from the bones for Bella, and the leftover vegetables for us. I had half the potatoes and green beans before I ate any jambalaya with shrimp and broccoli. I expected him to do the same, so we would not waste food. He did not want potatoes , he said. It made me upset. Good food is hard to get and keep coming right now. I am doing the best I can to make sure we eat a healthy and nutritious diet. He just wants junk all the time. He ate about 7 biscuits earlier in the day, so that's not fruit and vegetables, just carbs. He fights me on his eating habits. It drives me nuts because I cook for the both of us, and then I end up being the only one eating the meal, and I eat it for 4-5 days, instead of 2 days.
I made an agreement with him that he could eat the potatoes for lunch today, and go ahead and eat the jambalaya for dinner, but that there would be no excuses. He had to eat the potatoes for lunch. There were more details to what I happened, but I have already forgotten most of them. Oh well.
I gathered 2 bags of recycling yesterday, and my garbage can in my workspace to be removed from the house.
Today I hope to get the laundry started again, and pick up stuff from the common area floors. I have a small house, and you wouldn't think it would take so long to clean up around here, but I am working on changing Caleb's bad habits too. He throws trash and clothes on the floor and it just piles up. He creates more work faster than I can clean up. I am slow moving, and need alot of breaks when I am cleaning. I am also trying to get Caleb to be more helpful so I don't have to carry the burden of cleaning by myself all the time.
I also want to do a family study this weekend with Caleb about Baptism, using the resources that Pastor Rick brought over. In addition to studying with Caleb for a little bit, I want to do my own personal studying and reading. I have alot to catch up on. I am trying to read through the rest of the Empath Survival book, as well as catch up in the Ethony workbooks and videos.
So, those are my goals for this weekend.
I don't have much else to write. I need to take my iron pill and orange juice before I go back to bed. I am not ready to go back to bed right now though. I think I might do some studying right now. Caleb is sleeping in his bedroom, so I don't have to worry about waking him up while I watch my videos.
