5 Year Journal Day 278

      Today's prompt is "In three words describe your love life." Non-existent , self-contained. 

     It is now 2:15 a.m. here. I have not written in a few days because my sleep rhythms have been off. I have had painful bloating and gas at night that have kept me tossing and turning trying to get comfortable to be able to sleep. I was too tired to get up, so I laid in bed struggling to find peace. 

      Yesterday was not that eventful. I made my no-pasta, spaghetti-stew in the crockpot. That took more than an hour to prep and get cooking. It's alot of vegetables to wash and cut. I also attempted to charge the Volvo battery with my battery charger. I contacted alot of people to see if anyone could help me bring the Volvo to Lumberton. Brenda called me and said she could help me drive the car there. We made plans to leave my house at 9:00 a.m., so that we would be there around 10:30ish. 

     I made a huge salad and decided to share my meal with my dad and Sharon. I went out and put gas in the Mazda, and also stopped at the Dollar General to buy some food storage containers. I wanted to take the Volvo to put gas in it, but it was not fully charged in time (before it got dark). 

     I am collecting some stuff to bring to them. My dad has requested that I bring his CPAP and his diabetic shoes. Unfortunately, I am sure that his belongings that were left in the bedroom have been removed from the house and taken away. I no longer have his belongings that were left in the bedroom. Christinia and Caleb cleared my bedroom of all the stuff that was left as trash , thrown around the room, or left on the floor. He is going to have to tell VA that his belongings were lost in his move. 

     Let's see. Friday I did not do much either. I don't remember doing anything. It may have been the day we made frozen pizzas for dinner. I added extra cheese to mine and it was good. 

     Caleb is awake and talkative. 

     I deleted alot of numbers from my phone yesterday. I called Travis, and unblocked his number. He text me later. I have not heard from Billy in a long time. I don't know what to think of that. It's kind of a relief. 

     I am supposed to be getting the 3rd stimulus check on March 17th by direct deposit. I hope that is true. I have to get some things fixed on the house. I would like to have the bathroom fixed, meaning the shower water knob replaced, the bathroom fan replaced, and the ceiling paint and removal of the mold on the ceiling. I don't know how much that will cost, but I know it needs to be done, and will be worth it. Once it is updated and fixed, it will be that much less I have to worry about in the near future.  

     I just ordered my herbal and homeopathic supplements. I needed to order myself the multi-vitamin, and the pain relief supplements that I take daily, as well as the vitamin D that Caleb takes. I bought a few new things that I want to try to see if they help me any. They are for brain health. I hope they will help my thinking and brain fog. 

     Today we are going to drive to Lumberton in both my vehicles. Brenda is going to drive the Mazda with Caleb in the back seat, and I will drive the Volvo. The Volvo does not have a radio, nor air conditioning, and there is a problem with the headlights. So, I might be hot, but I can open the windows, and have a sun-roof. 

     It will be nice to be able to hug my dad again. I don't plan on staying long, although my dad wants to take us out to eat. I don't want him to spend the money , and I don't want to eat out since I had pizza on Friday. Eating together is something we always did when we lived together. It's a family thing. 

     I am putting together a care package. I am giving them a bottle of Lume body lotion deodorant for creases and crevices that tend to develop odors. Also I am giving a body lotion that is scented with scents that relax. I am putting a rose quartz crystal ball and a selenite shard along with a bottle of "Sacred Scent" essential oil. It's just stuff I had around that I think will be nice to share. 

     I am wide awake and so is Caleb. I finally got him to redirect his attention to his phone, instead of asking me a million questions. 

     I went ahead and ordered my medication refills too. 

     This week is going to be busy. Tomorrow is Monday and we will spend most of the day driving. Tuesday Caleb has therapy and I have a phone call appointment with Dr. Karels, the diabetes specialized pharmacist. Wednesday I go to get my permanent crown put in. Thursday and Friday are wide open, but I am sure I will have plenty to catch up on. There is always house cleaning to be done. There are always dishes to be washed and clothes to be cleaned too. 

     I get paid on Tuesday, so that means I pay the bills. I don't know that there will be much left over. I need to check on the budget spreadsheet to see what is going on. 

     I already took my iron pill and orange juice earlier when I got up the first time.
