5 Year Journal Day 316

      Today's prompt is "What topic are you bored talking about?" The past.

     Yesterday was a productive day for me. Caleb woke me up around 8:30 am. I called my dad and spoke to him for a little while, then did my morning routine. I ate 2 sausage patties, instead of my normal 3 hard boiled eggs. I took my medications, and gave Caleb his medications. Then I went and got the pet vacuum from Christinia's room and began to pet vac the hallway several times over. I picked up alot of sand and dog hair!! I took a short break and began to shampoo the carpet in the hallway one section at a time. It took me all morning to complete it, and my hallway is not very long. 

     I then went and dropped off the clothes that are too small for Caleb to the thrift store that benefits the women and children of domestic violence shelter. We went to Walmart after that to buy more carpet shampoo. I bought Caleb insoles for his shoes since they were hurting his feet. I bought a few other things too while I was there. We came home and I eventually ended up taking a much needed shower. 

    My Granny and Pepere called to touch base with me and find out how we are doing. They were in good spirits as their doctor's office donated them a Thanksgiving turkey. I spoke with Granny about the diet I am on with Virta. She was so proud of the success I have had in getting off insulin and lowering my A1C. She wanted to know more about how the diet worked so she might try it too because she is also diabetic. I was happy to hear from them both. It escaped my mind that I told them in my voicemail that I would try to call them again sometime.  

    I cleaned up the kitchen a little bit and washed a few dishes to prepare to make dinner. I cooked chicken thighs in the oven for dinner. 

     Christinia bought a new fake Christmas tree since we could not find the stand the old one came with, and the replacement stand did not fit. Caleb took all the lights and ornaments from the old Christmas tree the other day and placed the tree outside. The new tree is pre-lit, and so beautiful in the living room now. 

     We had an argument about the status of the living room prior to putting the Christmas tree up. Caleb was supposed to clean the living room before the Christmas tree was delivered, and he didn't. He had a bad attitude and argued with Christinia, and I had to say my piece too. I was supporting Christinia and trying to show Caleb he was wrong. 

     Things are settled now. It's 6:30 am on Tuesday. Caleb apologized to Christinia after he calmed down. 

     I got up around 3:30 this morning because I was too warm and kept having a dry mouth. Caleb got up a little bit after that and started watching the Jim Carey movie The Grinch. 

     There are no appointments today, so it should be pretty easy going. I need to clean up my room, and Caleb needs to clean up his room. I just finished paying the rest of the bills for this month, so that's done. That's really what was on my mind to do for today. Christinia was having trouble sleeping too. She was still awake when I got out of bed. I thought I might be able to clean my work space, but nope. Not today. 

     Today is Taco Tuesday!!! Woop Woop!

     I need to take more photos of Caleb and Bella. I am running low on recent photos of both of them. I am going to start collecting mailing addresses to send out Christmas cards soon.

     Christinia bought me a new Christmas ornament, and it is lovely. It is made of crystals and shaped as the Tree of Life. 

      I bought her ornament yesterday and it should arrive in a few days.
