Today's prompt is "What details from today would you like to remember?" I would like to remember the team work between Christinia and me today.
It is now 1231 on Friday. Yesterday I woke up at 0700 when my alarm went off , took my medications, and gave Caleb his medications, and began to work on cleaning my room. Yesterday was day 2 of cleaning my room. Most of the trash was taken out on Wednesday, and a good deal of the clothes was put away too. Yesterday I decided to give away my shoes that I may never wear. They are currently too small for my feet, and I feel I will wear diabetic shoes for the rest of my life. Also, I bought those shoes in 2013 or shortly after, thinking I would need them to go to work in. I will never work again. Most of the shoes are brand new with tags. I am donating them to the Hope Chest Thrift Store, where the profits benefit women and children of domestic violence. I also decided to donate my purses that I will never use. My closet is getting cleaned out! I vacuumed alot of my floor, and emptied a number of baskets. I think I will be done in a couple of days. I am making room to move a bookcase from the living room to my bedroom.
I am not only cleaning my room for my own good, but also because people will be working in my closet to remove the mold growing on the ceiling from where the roof was leaking.
I will feel so much better in a clean room!
I also worked on getting caught up on the laundry.
Later in the day we had a situation where I realized that Caleb had my laptop. I wasn't happy, and Christinia took over how things went, in a clear and calm manner. He is now on restriction for 2 weeks. Caleb had therapy yesterday, and we worked as a team throughout his appointment. We had a table talk as a family. It was even more productive with Christinia present and verbal.
I went to bed early after taking my night time medications. I have been off my diet for about 2 days now, maybe 3. I need to get back on it. Wednesday night I ordered Domino's pizza. I get so stressed out about this diet. It's hard to do because I have to cook all my own food. I cannot go out to eat very many places when I am tired and need to eat. So... I kinda gave up for a few days. I stopped walking too. I am using all my energy to clean my room. It was in a complete state of disarray. Caleb left crumbs all over the floor and even under the bed. Trash was all over the floor. It was not reflective of me. Now, even though I am not done yet, I feel better about my personal space. I bought a 4 drawer chest of drawers from Walmart, along with a few smaller bins to organize the stuff that I had kept in boxes due to just not having anywhere to put all the things I ordered. I have alot of hair products!
This is all a part of my Spring cleaning effort. I want to clean everything now that the season is changing and there is so much more light shining on the dust everywhere! LOL I am moving furniture around and making new spaces for things that are in boxes right now. I have more stuff coming in the mail, so I am making room for that stuff too.
I bought alot of plants for the yard that Caleb and I will plant soon. Alot of them have arrived earlier than expected. It is going to be great!
Jonathan Weaver mowed the grass for us this week, and is helping us get rid of excess shipping boxes and junk. I really appreciate him.
My birthday is coming up soon. I will be 39 years old this year! Already Christinia has showered me with gifts. She is even making a special keto recipe of cake pops for my birthday! We are all going to see the new Dumbledore movie on the 14th. Maybe we will go out to the Hibachi Japanese Steak House this weekend too. I am wearing a shirt Christinia bought for my birthday. It says " I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!" LOL I love Harry Potter movies.
Christinia and I got new tattoos on Wednesday. They are both ";I.G.Y.6" tattoos, done by Paul at Inklanation.
I bought new storage bins to put the stuff in the kitchen cabinets in when they come to rip out the old cabinets and install the new cabinets.
I called about replacing the windows and never got a call back. I wonder why. I will be ready to let people in the house once I clean it up. I am mostly concerned with my bedroom and my bathroom.
I have decided to move my old bed into Caleb's room. It is currently in the shed and taking a lot of space up. I was holding it for my dad, but Caleb needs a new bed now, and I do not want to pay for a new bed.
I have to clean out the shed too. We did a good job last time, but I guess Caleb just threw stuff in the shed after we organized it, and now it is a mess and we cannot put more stuff in there even though there is room.
I received my workout clothes from Torrid and Lane Bryant and am happy so far. I have only tried one new bra and one leggings, but I really like them and hope they will be good for working out in.
Caleb helped me buy a new window unit air conditioner, and 12 bags of cow manure! He also was there with me when I bought the wrong size stove. LOL oops! I have to go back and buy a different stove. Good thing I realized it before it was delivered. Anyway, the stove needs to be replaced. It was the only appliance that I did not replace when I moved in the house, because it was the only appliance that was here and worked. Besides, I did not have alot of money when I moved in, and already had to replace the fridge, dishwasher, washer, and dryer.
We got the oil changed and tires replaced on the Mazda, and then on another day got the alignment done. The Mazda is up to date on services now. I just have to wait to tow the Volvo to the dealership in Wilmington until the 10 day period has passed for the AAA membership to start.
I have been talking about taking Caleb to Washington D.C. for a few days to see what there is to see there. It's going to take some planning, but I definitely think it is worth the effort.
We had a few rough nights with thunderstorms and I couldn't be more grateful for the new roof. Things were flying into the house and it created all kinds of noise. Bella was scared, as she is scared of thunder. Thank you so much Monarch Roofing.
I have gotten compliments on the new garden border and walkway. Thank you too Elite Borders.
Things are finally starting to come together, and the regular stress I feel for not being able to handle all these upkepp and maintenance issues are subsiding with the new ability to catch up, and correct what needs to be corrected. Thank you too Veterans United Home Loans. I couldn't move forward without having gotten the cash-out refinance loan.
I have not been regular with my Reiki practice. I need to add it to my schedule. I have been so tired in the morning lately. I am not having my regular sessions with Michal this month because she is going to Jerusalem for her daughter's wedding. I do, however have a Reiki session with Dawn on my birthday!
Oh so, I am not sure if I mentioned that one of my tragus piercings tore. Yeah. I didn't even feel it, I just felt the jewelry fall. Kayla at Inklanation is an apprentice and did the piercing. When JD saw it, he told me what went wrong and he re-pierced my tragus for me. Both my tragus and my septum are still healing with my septum being the most painful to dela with. I like piercings and wonder what I may get next! LOL
My nails are breaking even though I cut them short. They are weak from washing dishes and I need to strengthen them somehow.
I am growing my hair long again, and wore my hair down for the first time in a long time the other day. I no longer want to color it because I don't want to damage it.
It is 0124 now and I guess I should be going back to bed.
