5 Year Journal Day 346

      Today's prompt is "How ambitious do you feel today?" It is 0235, and I guess I feel pretty ambitious because I just completed work on the bills and household finances. 

     Yesterday was Mother's Day and it was like any other day. We went grocery shopping at Walmart together. I washed some laundry and washed some dishes. Christinia grilled steaks for dinner. It was gloomy outside all day. I had a hard time staying awake, but I couldn't fall asleep either. It was hard to get things done. I have a long list of things to do in order to complete my Spring cleaning project. 

     I sent my mom chocolate covered strawberries and Godiva chocolates for Mother's Day from Shari's Berries. She enjoyed them. 

     I am planning to save money for the future, and was just going over my bills to see how I might be able to manage it. My finances have changed alot recently and I just feel disconnected. I have not completely realized the changes yet. I am still in survival mode, and panicking about bills. Now, I don't have to panic, but my body stays in high alert. 

     It's a miracle really. I have most of my credit cards paid off, and don't intend to use them again. I have projects budgeted for the future to include fixing the Volvo, replacing all windows, replacing the kitchen cabinets, and replacing the kitchen floor. Right now the window project and the Volvo project are being worked on. The windows will not arrive until August 26th or something like that. The Volvo has multiple problems and the parts are on backorder, so it will take at least one week. I am holding off on doing the cabinets because I am currently so overwhelmed. I just need some time to not have workers in my home. I need my space. 

     I bought myself some black dresses for Mother's Day. They were on sale from Torrid and I could not let the deals pass me by. 

     I got the refunds for the items were not received from Zulily, and applied the refund to another order of maxi dresses for Christinia. That's what was missing, after all. 

     My dad has not contacted me. Dona Sharon responded with "Thnx" to the photos of a D.O.T. letter I received in the mail for my dad.

     I am behind in my Ignite Your Light program workbook. Reiki masterclass starts Thursday, so I am running out of time. 

     My head is somewhere else this morning. I'm thinking about my list of things to do, and wondering when it will all be done so I can relax.
