Today's prompt is " Where do you find pleasure?" Hmm... I like listening to music and singing. I use to like reading books, but now I am so tired that I cannot stay awake to do that. I use to like watching movies, but since I have had seizures, I cannot watch them without feeling weird. The lighting and special effects are too much for me now. I use to love roller skating, but I have lost my balance since gaining weight, and the skating rink I went to in Wilmington has closed.
It is Monday morning, 6:24 am, and I have been up since roughly about 4:30. Caleb is awake with me. I took a shower because I could not fall back asleep after waking up. Yesterday was the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Travis stopped by unexpectedly and visited for awhile. We haven't seen him in years. He moved to Bolivia on Saturday, which is not far from here.
Not much else happened yesterday. I woke up at 7:00 am to get Caleb up and ready to go to church with Jerry. I wanted to be sure he unloaded the dishwasher and took his medications before he left. Jerry was coming to pick him up at 8:10. Caleb was gone with Jerry all morning, and I went back to bed. I got back up around 11:00. I did not have the motivation to do anything but sit at the dining table, vape, and drink diet Mountain Dew.
When Caleb came back home, he cleaned his room and vacuumed some of the floors. I was cooking pork butt in the crockpot in the turkey bone broth, and added cabbage to it once the meat was fully cooked. I had some of this soup for lunch and it was pretty good I thought. Just needed some salt.
Travis came over a second time to use the bathroom to shower real quick. Where he moved into did not have the water connected or electricity connected yet. So, he charged his phone while he was here, and drank a ton of water.
Last night, Christinia ordered us pizzas from Papa John's. It was good.
I have been off my diet since approximately the day before Thanksgiving when I had Italian cookies. My sugar is currently over 200, and my ketones are low again. I ate what my family ate for Thanksgiving, and had leftovers the day after. Christinia cooked the turkey, made instant stuffing and mashed potatoes, and I roasted fresh green beans and broccoli, and cut fresh vegetables to munch on while the turkey was cooking during the day. She also made gravy. We also had cranberry sauce. It was all delicious! I bought Caleb a pecan pie, and Christinia an apple pie.
The freezer is not working properly so we moved all the meats to the porch in the hopes that the freezing temperature outside would keep them colder than the freezer where no air was circulating. It looked like the back of the freezer had frozen over, and needed to be thawed out. We tried to thaw it out, but I do not know how to turn off the freezer to do that. I need to call a repairman. I am broke though.
We ended up giving all the meats from the freezer to Caleb to use as fishing bait. They completely thawed out while in the freezer and were not looking safe to eat.
Our dinner was donated to us by Ocean View United Methodist Church. Without their donations, we would not have been able to afford a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving.
Caleb and Christinia put up the white icicle Christmas lights outside the house. Christinia bought us a new Christmas tree because the we lost the stand to the old one , and the new replacement stand did not fit it.
I started wrapping Christmas presents, and birthday presents. Christinia's birthday is coming up soon, and Caleb's birthday is New Year's Eve.
Bella had turkey mixed with her kibble on Thanksgiving. She devoured her food.
I have been slowly cleaning up the kitchen since Thanksgiving. I got most of the dishes prewashed and in the dishwasher. I handwashed quite a few dishes too, but I still have the pots and pans to clean.
Caleb is drawing a picture for Jerry, the neighbor who is his friend.
We do not have much going on today, but I want to clean the rest of the dishes and get some laundry washed. Tomorrow is payday, and hopefully I will be able to call a repairman to fix the freezer. Christinia has an appointment this afternoon, and I might need to go grocery shopping since there are no more leftovers.
Last night I had a hard time going to sleep. I was having whole body pain from my fibromyalgia. I asked Christinia to help me apply a lidocaine patch and an Icy Hot patch to my back so some of the pain would be relieved enough for me to be able to sleep. I fell asleep eventually, but I did not stay asleep for long.
My dad is doing better now that he is out of the hospital. His sugar was over 600 when he went to the hospital, and he was having chest pain. He is on new medication to prevent his heart from palpitating out of rhythm.
Thanksgiving was a good day, all day. We all enjoyed being home and being together. I don't remember when, but Harlee and Caleb put together ginger bread houses.
Caleb and I took a photo together, wearing matching shirts, in front of the Christmas tree.
I shared photos of the lights on the house and the Christmas tree.
I don't remember what else happened. Oh! I tried some low sugar wine, a Pinot Grigio by Josh Cellars.
Friday night I could not sleep, and woke up around midnight. Christinia and I had some White Claw hard seltzers in Black Cherry flavor and stayed up hanging out. We had a good time, but were tired the next day. LOL I haven't had drinks in years. I laughed so hard and so loud I thought I would wake the kids up.
The light is showing outside. It doesn't look sunny at all yet, but it is no longer dark. I better go check the washing machine and get started on my house work.
