5 Year Journal Day 253

     Today's prompt is " What comes to mind when you think of fear?" Hospitalization and inability to take care of Caleb and Bella.

      It is now 4:14 a.m. here. Yesterday was a busy day. I woke up at a decent time, and began my morning routine. I was waiting for Billy and Nikki to wake up. Caleb and I went to Food Lion to buy a money order so I could deposit the cash into my account. I finally found documentation at the USAA website that said I could deposit a money order using the app on my phone, just like I would a check. We came back home, and I began to clean up the kitchen a bit. I hand washed some dishes, and finished loading the dishwasher. I started the dishwasher, and began to sweep the floor. I picked up Caleb's trash he left on the floor, and began making a pile of junk to be picked up later. Billy finally woke up, but was not feeling good. It was raining outside and gray. 

     Billy was throwing up and agitated. He wanted to go home, and not work for the day. So, I started the laundry up, and took them to Wilmington. I had figured out how much money I needed to get from Jay and told Billy to contact him so he could write me a check. We went to pick the check up first. Then I took Billy and Nikki home. They took showers and I took them to Walmart to cash Billy's check. I brought them home, and Caleb and I were hungry. It was almost 2:00 p.m. We decided to go out to eat. We went to Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet, and then we went back home. 

     When Caleb and I got home, I went to take a nap. I was tired and exhausted. Caleb woke me up around 6:00 p.m. and I took my night time medications. Caleb cleaned off some of my mix cd's I made back in 2003 that they found at Billy's house, and played them. 

     I didn't get any more cleaning done. I was just too tired. I wanted to go back to bed, but Caleb was highly energetic and wouldn't calm down. I didn't go to sleep until after 9:00 p.m., which is late for me. 

     Today is Saturday, and Billy only has until Sunday night to get his stuff out his house. I have to go pick Billy and Nikki up from Wilmington in the morning. I am not going to do any physical labor for him. I need to clean my own house. I get tired driving back and forth.

     Billy and Nikki stayed the night Thursday night. Billy woke up complaining that it was freezing cold in the house. Well, I woke up with my skin burning hot, so I changed the air from heat to cool. I can't make everybody happy. 

     I will be happy once the truck is turned back in and all this is over. It is causing me anxiety. 

     Today I hope to get more laundry washed, and get the kitchen cleaned up so I can make dinner. I want to make ham, greens, and black eyed peas. I won't eat the black eyed peas, because beans are high in carbs. 

     I plan on sleeping in and taking my time to go get Billy and Nikki. I need to take a shower badly. 

     I have been waiting since the first to receive my Pandemic EBT deposit, and have not received it yet. I am now glad I bought groceries when I did, because there really wasn't much food in the house. I have to have healthy options, or I get desperate and eat junk when I get too hungry. 

     I need to get my Mazda inspected. I will probably go on Tuesday. On Monday, I have a dental appointment. 

     Caleb has been helping Billy move his stuff onto the truck.

      Bella got a bath last night. Caleb has taken over giving her baths, so she gets them more frequently.

     I don't expect to lose weight this week, the way things have been going. I have not been eating according to my own standards. I need more vegetables.

     I was looking at all the courses I purchased a couple of years ago on Udemy, last night. I never started most of them. I am going to make more of an effort to try to complete some. 

      I am tired and need to take my iron pill and orange juice. I am going back to bed.
