Today's prompt is "Where do you see yourself next year?" I see myself being healthier and better off financially.
It is now 0252 and I have been awake for about an hour or so. I was working on some paperwork to get pre-approved to buy a house. I just wanted to see if it was even possible. Yesterday I woke up around 0500, but did not stay awake. I went back to sleep until Caleb woke me up around 0830. We then went to Wilmington so I could have my labs drawn at the VA clinic. Driving there and back is exhausting, and I was so tired when I got back home that I slept for several hours. I really did not do much else yesterday. I was just tired all day long. The day before yesterday, all of us drove to Lumberton to have the Volvo towed. It takes about an hour and a half to get there, and another hour and a half to get back. We were only there for maybe 20 minutes. When we got back, I was exhausted then too.
I was afraid of how things would go once I arrived to Lumberton. I needed to get the Volvo key from him. I had been texting Dona Sharon, and she was not responding to my texts, so I assumed she blocked me. I did not want to argue, fight, or have anything happen that would lead to someone calling the police. I wanted peace and civility. When we got there, I went with Caleb and Harlee to knock on my dad's door at the Motel 6. My dad opened the door, and he was clearly sleeping beforehand. He looked like he lost weight too. I said "Hey. I need the Volvo keys." He did not say anything, but turned around to get the Volvo keys. He came back and handed it to me, and then closed the door. My prayers were answered!
I was worried that the Volvo had been moved, towed away somewhere. It was right where my dad parked it all that time ago. I was worried the license plate would be missing. It was where it should be. I was worried about violence and fighting. There was peace. I was able to get the Volvo towed to the dealership in Wilmington with no problems. Once the tow truck left, we left to come back home. Having Chrisitnia ride with me, helped with my anxiety. She originally was not going to go, but I asked her to go with me.
We came home and after having quiet time/nap time, I prepped hamburgers, steaks, and zucchini/yellow squash/vidalia onion kabobs to cook on the new grill I bought. Everything came out delicious!
Tuesday I had my annual physical appointment with Nurse Practitioner Miller. I said my prayers before going into the VA. Caleb rode with me, and waited in the car. The appointment went well! My prayers were answered, and I did not have any problems with this appointment at all. As a matter of fact, I actually LOST WEIGHT since my last visit! Woop woop!
Monday I went to my annual eye exam appointment. Photos were taken of my retina, and one small pin point area was found to have the beginning of diabetic stress. The blood vessels were swollen. I was informed that it would go away in a few weeks as long as I continued to stay on track with managing my diabetes. My eye sight actually got BETTER from the last visit. I did not understand it, but it was explained to me that if I am managing my diabetes, and it is getting better, my eyesight will reflect that.
I also went to Walmart, put gas in the car, and to CVS before going home. I forgot that Caleb had therapy at 4:00pm , and we were late coming home. I apologized to Mollie for being late.
I have been working on an inventory of all the things I purchased and received from Zulily. We are missing some packages, but I want to be sure I have everything inventoried before filing a claim.
I had my period this week. It was the first in a long time.
Mother's Day is Sunday. I bought myself a bundle of tri-color roses in white, pink, and red to symbolize my Magdalene Rose Priestess work I am doing. I bought Sunflowers for Christinia , as they are her favorite flowers.
Cinco de Mayo was yesterday and we did not celebrate.
I feel like I am doing better at my diet, but I made the mistake of drinking a little bit of low-sugar wine yesterday, and that threw me out of ketosis. I won't be doing that again.
Christinia started a new semester of school this week.
Caleb has been helping me get our books and bookcases together so I can continue to inventory everything that has arrived. I can't really focus on teaching him right now because I am too focused on making sure we got everything we ordered. It was ALOT!
Turns out the Volvo needs a new alternator. I also ordered a front door key, and have to replace the battery. We shall see what else, if anything needs to be done to bring it up to driving safely. I know that the headlights needs to be fixed, the air conditioner needs to be working, as well as the radio.
I still have plants to plant in the yard. I have to catch up on my kitchen cleaning. I have almost caught up on the laundry. I have not been walking this week at all, and I want to start walking again.
Caleb had a therapy session with Hayley yesterday, and we had to discuss some things about growing up, and changes happening to Caleb's body.
I got my hair cut on Monday! It looks so good that I have worn it down everyday since.
That's about it for now.
