5 Year Journal Day 284

      Today's prompt is "Write down the name of someone you had a good conversation with recently." Rachel.

     It is now 2:14 a.m. here. Yesterday we woke up at our regular time. It was Monday, but I forgot to weigh-in before eating. I also forgot to take my glucose reading. I waited for Stacy and Bruce to come by to give me an estimate in the insulation for the attic. They came around noon. Stacy asked if I was looking to sell my house. I told her maybe. She and Bruce have gone into business flipping houses, and are looking for new project houses. I told them about Billy's house next door. We talked about the possibility of me selling my house. I gave it alot of thought after they left. They offered to help me move out to somewhere more affordable. Ideally I would buy a plot of land and build my own house to my own standards with handicap accessibility. My final thoughts are that if I build my own house now, Caleb will still not be able to keep from making messes, and I will die inside seeing the new house destroyed. There is no point in moving right now. I need to make the best of what we have. When Caleb is able to live on his own, I will reconsider moving. 

     I had leftovers for lunch, and then went to vacuum the first half of the hallway with the shop vac and the pet vac again. I then shampooed the carpet with the new carpet cleaning machine. The carpet looks alot better now, where I cleaned it. 

     Caleb and I got some things in the mail from the Amazon order I made. Caleb got his soaps and building kits, and I got books. I didn't feel like cooking, so we went to Arby's for dinner. When we came back home, I took my medications and went to lay down. 

     Caleb couldn't go to sleep, even though he took his medications, so he woke me up. He finally settled down after rough-housing for awhile. 

     I woke up with lots of gas around midnight. I went on facebook messenger to let my WoVen team leaders know what I was thinking about my case with CID. I do not know that I will pursue the matter any further because I do not want to disrupt my own mental health from where it is now. Terri was awake, so we had a video call and talked about things. 

     Today I have an appointment to pick up my new orthotic insoles in the afternoon. I need to take a shower before I leave to go to Wilmington for my appointment. Other than that, I do not have much to do for the rest of the day. That will take most of my time. I have books I want to read, and classes I want to continue taking. I will wait until tomorrow to pet vac the rest of the hallway and then use the carpet cleaning machine. I have laundry to do, so I could at least get that started up again. 

     I am tired. I already took my iron pill and orange juice. I need more water in my water jug. I guess I will go ahead and fill it up. I will either read a book, or do some meditations until I fall asleep.
