Today's prompt is "What was something you couldn't do today?" I wanted to work on cleaning out the porch today, but never got around to it. I ended up going to Food Lion and doing some grocery shopping , driving by the local mechanic shop for information for my dad, and going to CVS to pick up meds for Caleb. When I came home, I was tired. I was ready for a nap. I went and took a long nap because my whole body was in pain. I did not wake up until Caleb woke me up to take my night time medications.
Actually, I did wake up earlier than that. I was hungry and woke up and had some pepperoni and cheese as a snack. I went back to bed after that though. When I got up, I got up to a surprise. Nigel Johnson, my ex-husband, tried to call me on facebook messenger.
I wrote a message to Nigel in August when I was filing for child support services to give him a heads up, once they told me that Nigel would have to be ruled out as Caleb's father. I sent him another message in September. He finally responded last night! I tried to call him back, but because we were not friends on facebook, I could not get through. He called me back and it got through.
He was sounding happy when I spoke to him, and for that, I am thankful. I assured him that the paternity test was a mere formality. He wants to catch up sometime and gave me his phone number. I text him right away so he could save my number. You never know when we might need to talk to eachother again.
Of course I had to tell my dad. That got him talking about how my mom lied about her earnings to the court to avoid paying more in child support. Apparently she only paid something like $125 a month per child for the entire duration of having to pay.
Talking to Nigel brought back a lot of memories. Some were good, some not so good. He put me through a lot while I was away in Army training. He accused me of cheating on him while I was in basic training. Anyone who has been in Army basic training can tell you that you can barely go to the latrine without a drill Sergeant standing by.
It is now 1:02 am here. I woke up around quarter to midnight. Caleb is still awake. He has nasal congestion and is having trouble breathing to get comfortable to sleep. I gave him a nasal decongestant.
I wonder if my dad is awake. I don't want to be loud though.
So, Nigel said he is scheduled to take a DNA test in Greensboro at Labcorps on November 9th.
The court date I have to go to is scheduled for December 8th.
Tomorrow is another day. I hope to get the front porch cleared off completely tomorrow. I am tired, but I have too much stuff going through my mind to be able to fall asleep.
I need to go to the Flu Shot Clinic at the VA next week, as well as to the lab. I don't have to take my blood pressure everyday now, but only every other day. I weighed in at 301.3 lbs today! Woop! Woop!
I am trying to figure out what else needs to be done next week so I can have advance notice. I forgot to give Bella her Bravecto on the 20th. I will do that tomorrow too. I wanted to get Christinia's VA claims submitted by Sunday, but I don't know if I will have the energy if we are working on the porch tomorrow.
I am tired now. I wonder if I can fall asleep.
