5 Year Journal Day 261

      Today's  prompt is " What's you favorite snack food?" Artichoke hearts and hearts of palm and jalepeno stuffed olives.

     It is now 2:11 a.m. on Wednesday. Yesterday was a rough day. I woke up early and was able to pay the bills. I quickly deteriorated though, and after I had something for breakfast, and took my medications, I had to go back to bed. My body was heavy and sore and achy. I felt like I needed to recharge. Caleb and Bella slept in my bed last night, and I did not sleep well. 

     I stayed in bed until about 2:40 p.m., then got up to have lunch and get ready for my phone appointment with Dr. Karels. My appointment went well. She is a sweet lady. She celebrates my weight loss with me, and the lower overall blood sugar reports. She celebrates the no soda, and the weaning off of the e-cigarette. 

     I decided to go to Walmart after my appointment to make sure I had my snacks available in the pantry. I am eating artichoke hearts and hearts of palm as snacks because they are high in fiber and I like the way they taste.

     I bought some new toothbrushes, and some new tooth paste. I bought some dry powder spray to keep dry in my nether regions, creases, and folds. The new toothpaste is supposed to be able to remove up to 10 years of stains. I am here to test that theory! I hope it works. 

     I am now vaping 0mg/mL nicotine e-juice. So I am on the last leg of quitting. I don't know how I will react when my body figures out there is no nicotine in the e-cigarette. I hope I am ok though. 

     I have gotten behind on all my house work. I hope I feel better in the morning and throughout the day to be able to find my underwear, socks, and bras so I can wash them. I am out of clean clothes. Caleb needs to find his underwear and socks too. I wore a bra that I do not normally wear because it was all I had left, and needed Caleb to help me take it off at the end of the day, because it was digging into my skin around the bands. 

     I need to finish up watching that Marci Lock video because she is hosting a follow-up video on Thursday.

     I am anxiously awaiting my stimulus check direct deposit from the IRS. I need the money badly. 

     I was able to pay my bills. I have only one bill left to pay, and that has to be paid in person. It is the water bill. I still need to get my Mazda inspected , before I can pay the taxes and registration. I am waiting a few days more to see if the IRS payment comes in, so I will not be so broke. Right now, I have less than $20 to my name. 

     I made the final payment on my bed yesterday! It is now fully paid off and I have no more payments due on that store credit card!

     The bad news is that I am about to be about $100 less on my payday from VA because I removed my dad as a dependent. That means, I just cancelled out my hard work. I will not have an extra $100 a month to buy groceries or gas, or clothes, or whatever. I am in in the same predicament. 

     I am no longer going to buy e-juice, so that is roughly $110/month that I will not be spending, so I am saving that. Thank God. 

     Caleb and Bella were sleeping in my bed again tonight. Bella has a way of getting so close, nearly on top of me, and stretching, that pushes me off the bed. I always feel like I'm falling out of bed when Caleb sleeps with us, because I can only scoot so far into the middle without being close to him. I don't like being hot, and so I don't like being close and sharing heat.  

     Bella followed me out of the bedroom when I came to the computer.

     Today, I have an appointment with my psychiatrist online. Caleb has an appointment with his therapist in person in the afternoon. 

     I already took my iron when I woke up earlier. I have a hard time sleeping with Caleb and Bella in my bed. I cannot relax the same. I am running out of water, because Caleb drank all my Miralax water that I took to bed with me. I am not happy about it. That is prescribed to me because of my chronic constipation, and he just drank it because he was thirsty! He doesn't care that I need that! What an asshole!

     I am feeling pretty good now that I put the window unit on. I like the air blowing on me. I made myself some Propel and Miralax water. 

     So.. The envelope to my dad was delivered to his address on Saturday. I wonder if he picked up his mail yet. I wonder what he will think of the photos. 

     I am pretty sure we have no more appointments this week, after today. I am going to cook my spaghetti stew in the crockpot today. I want to do some laundry too. I might not get to anything else because we have to drive to Caleb's appointment, and when we get home it will be late. 

     I weighed myself yesterday after having a major bm, just to see. I weighed in at 313.8lbs.! It's so exciting! It's not for record though, so hopefully I can keep my digestive system clear so I can weigh in on Monday with something that low. 

     I could potentially be at or under 300lbs. in about 7 or 8 weeks! That would mean I have lost 10% of my body weight. 

     I gotta update my medical emergency sheet.
