5 Year Journal day 354

      Today's prompt is "What do you find irresistible?" Laughter.

     Yesterday I woke up around 0430. I just could not sleep anymore. I began searching for more scholarships to apply to. I was on my computer for quite some time, just enjoying the quiet house while everyone else was sleeping. I checked my glucose reading, and I took my medications. I used my Apollo neuro device to slowly wake up. I just got it in the mail on Saturday. It is something I wear on my wrist that vibrates different vibrations according to the intention I choose on the synced app. I think there are about 8 different intentions. Each is supposed to help reduce stress on my body, especially my heart. I thought it would be worth the investment to try it out. So far, it does help me fall asleep faster. I'm not sure about the intentions yet. 

     I completed writing the first final draft of the chapter I was writing to be included in Sheila Farr's book, being released on July 7, 2022. I submitted it to her, and she approved happily of it. I am waiting to hear from Sheila if I should add more information, because my word count was already over 2,000 words. I can't believe I wrote a chapter in a matter of days. I thought it would be harder for me to come up with something that would fit into the book. The book is called "Let Go or Be Dragged", and is focusing on the trauma that some of us have gone through, and how we managed to make it through the other side. 

     I read my chapter a day of "Smart Couples Finish Rich", by David Bach, and printed out some of the worksheets to fill out later. I created a folder to store my important notes from the book, so I could stay organized. I take notes on just about everything, because I tend to forget almost everything if I don't. 

     I lit a Money Drawing 7-day candle, along with an Uncrossing candle, and a Success candle. I figured that would cover the general ideas of my intentions.

     I went through my spreadsheets and printed a bunch of the relevant ones out to include in my folder. Organization is one of the most important things mentioned in the book. 

     I reorganized my to-do list and threw away last week's to-do list. I updated my incoming mail list too. I took documents from my notebook that I had just stashed in there temporarily, and put them in document protectors in a 3-ring binder. 

     I said my prayers. I got ready for the day by brushing my hair, putting on my scented oil, putting on all my jewelry, and of course deodorant. I always feel more awake after brushing my hair. I don't know why. Maybe it has to do with the scalp massage from the brush?

     I stayed awake until 1130, when I had to lay down because I so tired. I didn't get out of bed until about 1400. I had my standard lunch for this keto diet I'm on, 6 turkey breast deli meat slices, and 1 avocado. Caleb and I went to Walmart because I ran out of printer paper, and needed a few other things. We came home and played with Bubba. I need to take more pictures of him, preferably with my "good" camera. He is going to grow so fast. 

     I made a big salad with fajita chicken strips for my dinner. I split the bag of fajita chicken strips with Christinia. She had a bag of kale salad. Caleb and Harlee ate their frozen pizzas for dinner. I took my night time medications, and went to lay down pretty early.

     Today I have to go to the vet's office to obtain a new stool collection container for Bubba's poop. We used the one we were given, on Friday, not realizing that there was nowhere to store it until Monday morning , when the office was open again. I did not realize the vet's office was closed on Saturday!  

     Caleb and Bubba are now awake, and it is 0400. Later today, I have a zoom appointment with Michal for Ignite Your Light. After Jonathan gets off work, he will be stopping by to cut the grass for me. 

     Tomorrow Christinia and Harlee have to be driven to the airport to leave for their vacation. We have to leave the house at 0315 to get there in time. I'm going to be tired on Tuesday!

     On Wednesday a dishwasher repairman is supposed to come fix the dishwasher. On Thursday, Caleb has his end-of year testing Day 1. Thursday evening I have my Reiki Master class. On Friday, Caleb has end-of year testing Day 2. Saturday is a free and clear day, but Sunday I will spend all day my computer for an Ignite Your Light Zoom Meeting with the other women who are also participating in the program. It's going to be a busy week!

     I am still working on how I am going to afford to pay for my Master's Degree. I am applying for as many scholarships as I can. I wanted to make sure I met the deadline for the submitting my chapter for the book before writing any more essays. Now I can focus on writing essays again. 

     Chrisitinia might be moving away, as she told me she was considering it a couple days ago. I wasn't expecting the news, but I understand her decision.
