5 Year Journal Day 268

     Today's prompt is "When was  the last time you went dancing?" The last time I went dancing was after an Azalea Festival concert by Nelly some years ago. 

     It has been some time since I last wrote. It is now 1:34 a.m. on Wednesday morning. On Saturday, I had my COVID-19 vaccine shot. I had a mini fibromyalgia flare up afterwards, that kept me in bed for a couple of days. I was sweating pretty badly, but did not have a fever. 

     Let's see. Friday was February 26th. I got paid, so I had to pay my bills. I woke up early that day to do just that. I could not sleep knowing I was getting paid. I don't remember what else I did during the day.

     Saturday was pretty much all about my vaccine. 

     Sunday I slept in all day because I felt like crap.

      Monday was not much different, although, I did go grocery shopping.

     Yesterday Caleb had a therapy appointment and a psychiatrist appointment in the afternoon. We went to Walmart after that to buy some vegetables to cook with. After Walmart, we went to the pharmacy to pick up Caleb's new medication. 

     Caleb has not been going to sleep like usual lately. He has been taking his medication. I have watched him, but he has not been able to fall asleep and stay asleep. SO, because he is naturally hyperactive, he has a hard time being awake by himself. He comes to my room to wake me up every 20 minutes throughout the middle of the night, and I end up getting no sleep! It has been like this for the last few days, and I don't know why. 

     The weather has changed and it is no longer cold in the house. The temperature outside is hotter and so it is harder to keep the house cool already. Both Caleb and I suffered Saturday night after a day of sun and warmth, to sleep, because the temperature inside was too warm. I sweat alot and Caleb was complaining about the heat too. I told him he should go cool off by taking a cold shower. He decided to take a regular shower, and felt better afterward.

     We have been going to bed later, because Caleb has not been able to sleep. Then when Caleb finally goes to bed, I don't get but maybe two hours of rest before he wakes up again. 

     I brought this up to his doctor, and she prescribed a new medication to take in addition to the one he is already on to help him relax and sleep. 

     What else. Um... On Friday, I had sushi from Food Lion for $5 a pre-made box. Caleb did not want sushi, so I bought him the new DiGiorno croissant pizza to try. He loved it. 

     Other than that, I pretty much just ate leftover tofu stir fry until it was finished. Caleb did not eat much of it, and it lasted awhile. It was alot of vegetables. Very healthy. Good pipe cleaner. 

     So, I really haven't been wanting  to blog lately because I did not want to get out of bed. I felt like shit. I was tired. I  was sweaty. I was hot. I was in pain. The worst. 

     On top of all that, there was no much to say. I slept alot. I needed the rest. 

     I am still waiting on my stimulus/tax refund direct deposit. I am hoping to get it today. 

     I have a dental appointment for a crown early this morning in Wilmington. I have an online yoga appointment in the afternoon. I am helping someone get their certification hours. 

     Tomorrow I have another appointment in Wilmington for my orthotics. Then I have a phone call appointment to speak to the MST coordinator. 

     After tomorrow, I have no more appointments for the week. 

     I did read more of my Empath book. I have nothing to report though. I read more of the Programming the Universe book too. 

     I am going to start reading another book called "Warrior Renew: Healing from Military Sexual Trauma." I think it will help me as I am trying to get things figured out with Army CID. 

     Oh. So, also on Saturday was the full moon and an online video chat that I missed through the Magdalene Rose Temple. I did listen to the video while I laid down in bed Saturday night though. I felt different during and after the meditation. It was awesome and so worth my time! 

     Monday I started cleaning the kitchen. I got the dishwasher fully loaded and started, and filled the dish strainer with hand washed dishes. I was supposed to do more yesterday, but I didn't. 

     I still have a few pots to hand wash.

     Yesterday I made some hard boiled eggs. I also cooked the corned beef brisket we bought with cabbage and carrots. 

     Yesterday Caleb found a whole bunch of his dirty socks, and gathered them so I could wash them properly. Now he needs to turn them the right way and un-crumple them so they get fully washed. 

     I have fallen behind in the Maiden Circle classes. I am just not as interested as I was in the beginning. I have recently seen that I paid for a program that I never completed and got the information to login. I am planning on working on it. It is a dual certificate course for Health & Wellness and the Holistic Weight Loss through Natura Training Institute.

     Caleb fell asleep within a few minutes of taking his night time medications, including his new medication, and has stayed asleep so far. That's a good sign. Maybe I can get back on my regular schedule now. 

     I am continuing to learn through the Udemy Reiki and Color Therapy course. 

     I am bored and awake. I was hoping to have received my direct deposit by now. It is now 2:28 a.m. I already took my iron pill and orange juice for the night when I got up earlier.     

     I just tried to clear up my workspace a little bit. I got the registration sticker and card that I need to put in the Mazda, and the new insurance cards to put in both vehicles. I haven't driven the Volvo in some time, and I need to do that so that I don't ruin the new tires on it. 

     I guess I am just going to review some things on my computer that I need to work on real quick and then go lay down, and maybe read until I can fall asleep.
