5 Year Journal Day 326

      Today's prompt is " What is your dream job of the day?" I want to be a published author, life coach, and Reiki Master, as well as a Crystal Healer. 

     It is 0536 on Tuesday. Yesterday was Valentine's Day and I spent the day working. I woke up at 0700 because that's when my alarm goes off, but also because I was given a window of 0800-1700 for the stove repairman to come by and fix the stove. I got a message from Michael, the carpenter who is working on my house, pretty early. He is having trouble with the paypal payment I made. We agreed to use a check for the final payment. I paid him early so he would have the money to get the supplies needed to restore the house to good condition on the outside. He is replacing the bad wood so everything will be ready to paint. 

     Michael came by in the morning to pick up his check and got o Lowe's for supplies. He spent all afternoon replacing the wood at the top of the backside of the house. It was alot of hammering and drilling going on. 

     I spent the time cleaning the kitchen, again, and making a homemade keto cabbage soup. I made one pot with tomatoes, and one pot without tomatoes. It has ground beef, onions, red, yellow, orange, and green bell pepper, and cabbage and seasoning in it. It came out to be really good and tasty. After the repairman arrived around 1530, and fixed the handle on the stove door, I went to take a shower. Then Caleb took a shower, and then Harlee took a bath. I was getting everybody fresh and clean early so we could go to bed early. I was exhausted by 1830, and I think Michael was still working on the house! 

     Sunday we went to Harris Teeter to buy some meats on sale. I stopped at Lowe's Foods on the way home to make myself a salad for lunch, from the salad bar. I ended up buying myself a dozen roses for Valentine's Day because I love roses, and I knew no one was going to gift them to me. We also bought meats on sale there too. I "helped" Christinia get her homework done. It was a long and busy day.

     Saturday I took the kids to get haircuts. I went to Lowe's Foods for a salad after that too. I loaded the dishwasher, handwashed alot of dishes, and started the laundry up. 

     Friday we drove Christinia to the airport. She went to visit her son in Colorado. I kept Harlee at home. I got a call from the VA Caregiver Assistance Program, so that was fast, as I had only just applied on Thursday! I was exhausted when I got home from Wilmington with the kids. We stopped at Arby's on the way home. I know I am not supposed to eat it, but I have been off my Virta-friendly diet since Halloween or Thanksgiving. I am going back on my diet gradually as we reduce the amount of things I am tempted to eat in the house. 

     I graduated Level 2 Reiki on Thursday evening after the zoom meeting. I have been practicing Reiki 2 ever since. I look forward to learning the Master Class, but it is difficult to deal with the detox after. There is a 21-day detox that happens after each attunement. I was still in the Reiki 1 detox when I began the Reiki 2 detox. It's alot to manage. I felt tired and thirsty all day for days. I am also in Michal's Ignite Your Light program for women. I meet with her every Tuesday afternoon to discuss things I want to change and heal- trauma related. That is going well. I will meet with her later today.

     Christinia just messaged me that she landed in Charlotte. She is almost home!

     I had to review my emails and notes because I have lost track of everything I have going on. We are still waiting for a bed for Caleb to go residential treatment. I am still waiting for NC to provide e-file options for filing taxes. I am waiting to hear whether or not we won a free roof. I was waiting for so long to hear about the labor costs of removing the cabinets and installing new cabinets, that I had to make a decision on what to do that would improve my appraisal other than that. I have things I have to do just to pass inspection. I decided to fix the exterior of the house when I got the quote for the paint job. Hopefully these projects will be done soon, and I can move on with the appraisal and refinancing. 

     Last week Caleb started a new school schedule. It has been working to a degree. Yesterday he got no work done, but at the same time, I wanted him to help me watch Harlee sooo..... Wednesday and Thursday of last week were ok as far as getting work done. We were gone on the road to and from Wilmington all morning on Friday, and when I got home, I had no energy for helping him with schoolwork.

     Right now I am just waiting to go pickup Christinia from the airport in Wilmington. I should probably be getting Harlee up soon so I can get her dressed. Caleb woke up shortly after I came out to the dinner table. He wanted to go back to sleep but couldn't. I think he finally fell asleep on the couch with Bella under the heating blanket. 

     I'm kinda hungry, but I dont know what to eat. Normally I would just drink almond milk, but I have stopped buying it because I drink the whole container in one night and it raises my blood sugar. I don't have alot of choices for breakfast. I should think about that. I need to boil some eggs.
