Today's prompt is " Who do you miss?" I miss Mathew, Eric, and Sherri, my siblings.
It is Monday morning and 0310. Yesterday was Easter Sunday, and a busy day for me. I woke up at 0700, and took my medications. I gave Caleb his medications, and then did my 1 mile walk on the incline trainer. I increased my speed slowly from 2.0 mph during the first lap, to 2.1 mph the second lap, to 2.2 mph during the third lap, and finally 2.3 mph during the final lap. It is the fastest I have gone so far without hurting myself.
I rested and cooled off, then went to take a shower. I got dressed in my new pants that I got from Torrid. They are moisture-wicking, "camping pants", that fit like leggings, and have lots of pockets. These pair are camouflage, and I love them! It was my first time shopping at Torrid so I did not know if I would like how the clothes fit on me.
While I was cooling off, I did some online shopping. I bought a new laptop because the one I am currently using is slow. I bought the first 2 DVDs of Fantastic Beasts too. I bought us some Bath & Body works supplies on sale, and I also bought a box of 12 bottles of wine directly from Fit Wine. I also bought some household items from Amazon.
I decided to wear my hair down, and when I went looking for my hair product, realized that a big bottle had spilled into my drawer. I cleaned it up, and used a styling product in my hair for the first time in a long time, maybe years.
I then wanted to cook bacon. I cooked about 3 or 4 pans of bacon in the oven at 425 degrees, 1 pan at a time. Then I used the bacon grease to cook vegetables in. First I cooked collard greens in the bacon grease pan in the oven, then brussels sprouts, and then broccoli. By the time I put broccoli in the pan, there was hardly any grease left! I had to add a stick of butter to the pan to cook the broccoli in fat.
After I took a break, Caleb and I went outside to plant some of the plants I ordered from Zulily. I planted the 3 biggest gardenia plants I bought first. It was alot of bending over, and I had to stop after that.
After another break, I decided to wash Bella. She was overdue for a bath, so I brushed her as much as I could to prep her for a bath. Christinia helped me get her in the bathtub, and Caleb helped to prep the bath area so I had what I needed to complete the job. When I was done scrubbing away, she was a clean puppy! Caleb dried Bella off after I tried to dry her off.
Then Christinia and I began drinking some Fit Wine, low sugar, keto-friendly wine.
Later I decided to water the gardenias, and vacuum the hallway with the pet vac.
And that about summarizes my day! My mom wished us a Happy Easter. I wished my dad a Happy Easter, by texting Dona Sharon, but she never replied.
Saturday I woke up and took my meds, and gave Caleb his meds and then did my 1 mile walk. I hand washed the dishes, because I scrubbed the drain of the dishwasher with bleach and ran it to clean it. Caleb and I went to CVS to get his medications, and then went to the nearby Lowe's Foods. We did some grocery shopping and I looked to see what meats were on sale. The standing ribeye roast was on sale and so were the hams. All the hams were pre-glazed, so I couldn't eat them even if I wanted to. The standing rib roast was over $60, and I just couldn't pay that for one meal's meat. I bought everyone candy though, including myself. I found the sugar-free chocolates, and the Keto chocolate bars! I bought the family a plate of holiday cookies too. I found low-acidity tomatoes for Christinia to try.
Caleb and I drove from there to Food Lion, where I knew the ribeye steaks were on sale. I decided to look up low sugar wine, while I was there, and that's when I found the Fit Wine Pinot Grigio. It was pretty good too.
I came home and roasted some red and yellow bell peppers, and cooked the steaks for dinner. Christinia mistakenly thought is was Sunday, and gave the kids their Easter baskets. LOL
I went through my bills to see what had changed. I recently got a message that one of my accounts was close to the limit. I was confused, because I paid off all my credit cards as soon as the wire cleared from my refinancing the house. I must not have hit the submit button because one account was not paid off. I had to check all my other accounts to make sure they were ok. They were.
Oh! Also, Caleb and I went through all the books I ordered and took them out of the boxes and organized them in the morning.
Friday was Good Friday. I called my Granny and Pepere to check on them. Pepere was in the hospital and I wanted to make sure he made it home. I wished them a Happy Easter.
Thursday we went to the movie theater for my birthday to see the new Dumbledore movie, a Fantastic Beasts movie. We left early because it was alot for me to process, hard for Harlee to stay quiet, and too cold for Christinia. I told Caleb we would buy the movie on DVD, because I saw the look of disappointment on his face that we were leaving.
Earlier on Thursday I did my walk, took a shower, and put on a dress! We took the clothes we were donating to the thift shop, then went to return the clothes I did not want to Fedex that I ordered from Roaman's. I put gas in the Mazda on the way, and after the Fedex stop, we went to CVS to pick up Caleb's medications. I thought his Guanfacine was ready, but it was his prescription tooth paste, and I was upset. I have been calling to have Caleb's Guanfacine order put in all week, and it still wasn't received by the pharmacy!
I went to Food Lion before going home, and bought ingredients for a salad and a few steaks on sale. I bought chicken tenders for Christinia to eat for lunch, potato wedges for Harlee, and fried chicken for Caleb.
Hmmm... I don't remember much about Friday. I know I did my walk, but that is about all I can remember.
I have not heard from my dad, nor Dona Sharon since the conversation that ended with my dad saying he needed his Dodge Ram back, after I told him I could not add him to my credit card accounts. They did not even say Happy Easter back to me. I guess I know where I stand now.
Today is Monday and sets the pace for the rest of the week. I told Caleb that as long as it is not raining, we will do some more planting. I have to pace myself and do a little bit each day until it is done, or I will be in pain. I also want to go through my wardrobe and give about half of my clothes away. They are taking alot of space, I have never worn them, and do not plan on wearing them. I want to clean my room again so I can pet vac the floor. Christinia is putting up shelves for me to put my crystals on in my room. We will be donating the sofa and the matching chair this week. A bookcase will be moved from the living room to my bedroom, and then I will be able to put most of my new books away. I might have to give some old books away to make room for the new books. I have to catch up on the laundry, and the kitchen always need to be cleaned. I have done the grocery shopping several times over, and do not think I will need to go for a few days. My closet ceiling is due to be finished this week. Caleb has his therapy sessions and schoolwork to do too. I have my walking and blogging to do.
