Today's prompt is "If you could change one thing about today, what would it be?" I am not sure yet.
Yesterday was Saturday. I woke up around 0430 because I could not sleep. I kept waking up every hour. My back was hurting and I felt like I was going to fall off the bed because Bella was too close and taking up most of the bed. I did my morning routine, but it was out of order. I was awake, but tired. I wanted to stay awake, but wanted to be in bed too. I drank some Diet Mountain Dew to wake up. I could not sit still, but I didn't want to move either.
My morning routine looks like this :
Prepare medications, take medications, eat breakfast, recite Reiki stretch goals, say prayers, do self-Reiki session, oil and brush my hair, apply deodorant and perfume, put on my essential jewelry, brush and rinse teeth, clean ear piercings... Once Caleb is up, I prepare his medications for him.
That is not how yesterday morning went, but generally speaking that is how it goes. I decided to wash dishes while I waited for Caleb to wake up. I prewashed dishes and loaded them in the dishwasher. I handwashed as many dishes as I could fit in the dish strainer. By then Caleb woke up. I gave him his medications, and told him to let the dogs outside. I reminded him to feed Bubba breakfast. Then we went to Walmart. I had to buy Christinia a Covid-19 home test and some other things. She took the test when we got back home, and tested positive.
I made a spicy soup to help fight the symptoms of Covid-19. The ingredients are: cabbage, ground beef, beef bone broth, one yellow, red, and orange bell pepper, 2 yellow onions, fresh sliced ginger, fresh sliced garlic, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder, crushed red pepper, ground cayenne pepper, and paprika. Yummy!
I really did not do much after cooking the soup. I was tired and tried to go to bed early, but I could not fall asleep because my brain would not stop chattering.
Today is Father's Day, and I wish I could call my dad to wish him a happy Father's Day. I can't. I bought a tomahawk steak to celebrate the day. It is one of the things on my bucket list to eat. Normally it would cost upwards of $20/lbs. , but I bought it on sale for less than half that.
Friday Michael came over and installed 2 new attic fans to remove the heat from the attic. I need Jeff to come over and bring electricity to them. (Michael is a carpenter by trade, and Jeff is an electrician.)
This week I have a number of appointments. Bubba goes to the vet on Thursday to weigh-in and get the next month's flea/tick and heart worm medications. I have my psychological evaluation on Friday, followed by a Physical Therapy appointment. I might have to reschedule all of those because of my Covid-19 exposure.
We had a heat index of 109 degrees a few days ago. It was super hot. I stayed inside.
I updated my chapter after getting suggestions from Sheila Farr. I am now working on other aspects of the book writing process with her. I am excited to be a part of this project.
So, I cannot be tested for Autism through the VA. I can have other psych eval tests done, but not that one. So, I'm going to take the tests available, and once the results are ready will take them to another provider who will do the Autism assessment.
I decided to apply for a student loan to pay for school. I only have a little more than 3 months of my Post 9/11 GI bill left, so I will have a balance due at some point. I just want to earn my Masters degree and then earn my phD.
I am getting alot of fake people following me on instagram. These people are a waste of time.
Caleb started watching the Star Wars DVDs I bought yesterday. It was a marathon!
I messaged Nigel on Facebook messenger. I sent him a photo of the soup I made. We had a few good laughs.
Last week I worked on sorting some of the stuff in the living room out. I got Caleb's new books on the bookcase, and re-organized my books on my new bookcase. I still have alot to do, but I am making progress. That china cabinet held alot of my stuff in it. I think some of that stuff needs to go in the shed. I haven't decided yet though.
We are still waiting to hear from TEACCH about resources for Caleb.
I am going to learn how to smoke meats!
My biomarkers are showing improvement. I am slowly losing weight. My glucose readings are decreasing and my ketones levels are staying in ketosis!
My virtual retreat with Sage Goddess is coming up. Caleb's half-day of horse camp is next week, I think. Next month he is going to learn to play chess at the local library!
I start my Masters degree program in August. I graduate as a Reiki Master in August. I am only one private session away from completing the Ignite Your Light program. I think I might have a couple of zoom group meetings too though. The book with my chapter in it comes out July 7th. I am planning on writing a whole book soon. I am making progress reading "Smart Couples Finish Rich." I stopped reading because there are worksheets I need to work on before I read more. I am still reading the book about changing habits in 30 days too.
Caleb and I have both had our Covid-19 vaccinations, plus 2 boosters. I hope that is enough to prevent us from getting Covid-19.
It looks like it's time to take my medications. It's late enough, 0428.
