5 Year Journal Day 263

      Today's prompt is " What's a new place you've recently been to?" Ugh. I went to the Lowe's Foods yesterday. 

      It is now 3:36 a.m. on Friday. Yesterday was a difficult day for me. I was going through nicotine withdrawals. Yesterday was day 2 of being on the zero nicotine e-juice for my e-cigarette. I could not sleep. I was sweating and hot. I could not get comfortable. I was really tempted to go down the street to the vape store and buy some e-juice with nicotine in it, but I didn't. I made it through the day. I redirected my thoughts to other things. It wasn't easy, as my body was craving nicotine. I reached out to let people know that I was struggling. I worked on my computer for awhile, doing work on the budget and paying other bills that I did not pay yet. 

     I got Caleb ready to go, and we went to pay the water bill. From there, we went to try to get the Mazda inspected, but the inspection station's internet was down, so they could not do it. Then we went to McDonald's to use their wifi to see if there were other inspection stations closeby, and there were none. So, we just went to pick up Caleb's medication from the pharmacy. After that, we went to Lowe's foods. I saw on their flyer that the sausages were buy one, get one free again. I love the "Soprano" sausage from their SausageWorks collection. 

     Something drew me to the vegan section of the vegetables' section. I was drawn to buy tofu. Needless to say, I bought more than I originally wanted. Such is always the case in groceries stores, for me. I bought green cabbage, mushrooms, mung bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, "stirfry vegetables" in a can, and baby corn. I bought BOGO sausages for now, and for later. I bought BOGO boneless pork ribs, and I bought BOGO meatballs made with the ground sausage meat we like.

     We came home after all that. Caleb unloaded the Mazda for me, so I could put away the groceries. I cooked him some meatballs with zucchini , squash and onion for dinner. He liked the meatballs.

      I tried to go to sleep early, but could not. I was too warm. So, I started the laundry in the washing machine. I told Caleb to get all the laundry together so everything could be washed. He did a poor job. 

     I got up now because I heard the dryer sound off, multiple times. So, I went to check the dryer. The clothes were not completely dry yet. 

     Today, I do not have any appointments, and neither does Caleb. I just went and moved the laundry around. Making progress!

     It is now 4:11 a.m. and I don't know what to do with myself. 

     Anyway, the struggle is real. Hopefully today will be easier as far as overcoming my nicotine addiction goes. I want to finally stay at home and get the laundry done. I need to tidy up the kitchen , and take a shower at some point.  Time for me for to go back to bed. I already took my iron pill and orange juice when I got up up around 11:00.
