Today's prompt is "What did you have for dinner?" I made brussels sprouts and smoked sausage with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, minced garlic, ginger root, onion powder, and a yellow onion.
It is now 2:28 a.m. here. I cannot stay asleep. Yesterday was a busy and productive day for me. Although I did not wake up until around noon, because Caleb woke me up, I still managed to pull off a good day's work. I did not do any cleaning at all. My back hurt still when I woke up. I did not want to get out of bed. I took my morning meds, and had Progresso soups for brunch. I gave Caleb his medications, and he made tater tots for us to eat. He went to "Country's" house to take photos of his mounted deer head. After we ate the tater tots, I went to take a shower. The water was so hot it was burning me, so I hollered for Caleb to change the water temperature for me. It requires the use of a tool because the knob broke off months ago. I ended up taking a colder shower than I would have liked, but at least I was able to wash myself without blood pressure issues. I got to put on freshly cleaned clothes. When I was ready, we went to Walmart to buy some groceries for the week. I took my time and had a limp where my right side was kind of dragging and popping from the hip as I walked. Caleb stayed in the Mazda. I went through the self-checkout, and made it to the van. My back was hurting. It was a workout. It was about half a cart of groceries.
Caleb unloaded the cart into the trunk, and we came home. Caleb brought the groceries in, and I took a break. I asked Caleb to make sure the recycling bins were taken to the road for pickup. He went to socialize with the Lt. Colonel, and Country. I started to make breakfasts for the week. I eat hard boiled eggs in the mornings. After sitting for a while I got up to make dinner. I made brussels sprouts and smoked sausage. As that was cooking, I prepared dinner for tomorrow. It is going to be a crockpot dinner. I cut the cabbage, onions, and bell peppers and added seasonings on top. Now all I have to do is add olive oil, water, and the boneless, skinless, chicken thighs and start the crockpot.
Dinner was ready, and I was ready to eat. It was delicious. I ate my food, took my medications, and then proceeded to gather Bella's foods. She is eating chicken livers, veggie and ginger root mix, and kibble for dinner.
I still had to make sure the groceries were put away. I had Caleb shop vac the living room where he spilled dry cereal, and the couch where he left crumbs. I had Caleb take a shower. I made a bag of things to eat today for lunch, since I will not be able to leave the VA clinic to eat lunch. Once I was satisfied that I did everything I could think to do to prepare for today, I went to bed to rest. Caleb came in just as I was about to fall asleep and wanted me to scratch his back. His back always itches for some reason. He wants me to scratch and scratch and scratch for what seems like forever when I'm tired. He really doesn't want me to stop.
I went to sleep eventually, and woke up around midnight. I had a snack and took my iron pill and orange juice, and tried to go back to sleep.
I do not know why I cannot sleep. I was busy yesterday and I thought I would sleep through the night.
Today I have 4 back-to-back appointments at the VA in Wilmington. I am bringing Caleb to Alisa's house for the day, because otherwise he would have to spend all day waiting for me in the van by himself. I want to make sure he has a good day, so I want to remind him in the morning to bring some snacks, and make sure he brings his phone, computer, and charging cables. I need to pack his afternoon medications and be sure to tell Alisa to give them to him at 2:00 p.m.
I want to make sure I bring a book to read so I have something to do while I wait to have my labs taken. I already packed my lunch, and have extra water in the Mazda in case I run out. I need to pack flavor packets for my water in my purse.
I have my alarm set to get up at 8:00 so I have time to eat breakfast and take my medications, and fix my hair, and do whatever else needs to be done for dinner. I want to leave a few minutes before 10:00 and bring Caleb to Alisa's before I go. He needs to eat something for breakfast and take his medications before he goes. He might want to pack thing she knows he likes to eat so he can eat when he gets hungry.
I never finished shop vac-ing the hallway, but maybe I can do that before I eat dinner when I get home today. I did not clear a path to the cable box in my room either. My Army uniforms are still scattered on the floor.
Bella will be fine as long as we make sure to leave her lots of water and let her outside before we leave.
Dinner is going to be Jamaican Jerk seasoned chicken and vegetables.
I watched a small amount of a video by Sage Goddess on facebook where a woman was playing a singing bowl tuned to the frequency of the root chakra. It made me feel sensations that I have never felt before so I knew it was authentic. I had to have one, so I bought one on sale. It cost alot, but I paying on a payment plan. I can't wait to try it in person. It made me feel so weird and good at the same time.
A few days ago I bought selenite fireplaces. I bought one for my bedroom and one for Caleb's bedroom. I am hoping it will bring more peace to our bedrooms. Caleb does not like being in his bedroom at night, and the lights in the selenite fireplace might be what he needs to be ok to sleep in there.
I weigh in this morning. I cannot wait to see what I weigh. I know my diet has not been on plan this week because of the clean-up work we have been doing, but I hope I lost weight anyway.
It is now 3:14 a.m. and I am not really tired. I guess I can do some work on the household budget for next month.
