It is 0155, and I have been awake for about 15 minutes or so. My back was hurting so I tried to turn to my side on my bed, but that did not relieve the pain, so I got out of bed. I weighed in at 277.1lbs this morning! I don't know how accurate that is, but it is exciting! I'm so thirsty this morning. Yesterday was another fibromyalgia day, unfortunately for me. I stayed in bed most of the day again. I tried to continue to wash the laundry, but I did not get much done other than that. Caleb went to the beach with Chase and his family who use to live down the street, but moved away. They came back for the long weekend, and picked Caleb up for a few hours. I felt good about him getting out while I was home because I wasn't feeling well. I did manage to get my homework done while he was gone. I revised my Literature Analysis worksheet to reflect the new information I learned about APA formatting. I hope I get a good grade. I completed the weekly quiz too.
I am feeling better now, but that does not mean I will have a good day as far as my fibromyalgia is concerned. I wish I had better control of my symptoms. I felt like I had been hit by a ton of bricks. My whole body was sore and in pain. My skin was burning at times. When I was sleeping I felt like I was shaking the bed. It was awful. I could not get comfortable because everything hurt. There is nothing I can do about it when that happens. I just have to try to drink more water and get as much rest as I can.
I just finished Unlimited Abundance track 10. Now I will meditate to Lightbody Activation. I can't sit still through this meditation this morning. I made it through the first 18 minutes holding the position of having my palms up, resting on my lap, with bare feet on the floor, and spine straight, but I could not sit still. I was twisting the office chair from side to side. After 18 minutes or so, I gave up, and began to vape and drink my soda. Some days I can manage it, others I can't. At least I feel like I have cooled off and my back does not hurt anymore. I am still listening to the rest of the LightBody Activation meditation.
I don't know what today holds for us. I know I am still working on getting the laundry washed. Caleb needs to unload the dishwasher, and get all the trash out of the house for pick up tomorrow. I think it is a recycling week too. I have been telling him to pick up the hallway, but because I have not been feeling well, it is hard to enforce. I really want to get the carpet cleaned, but I need to have a few good days to make that happen. It takes some strength to lift the container that holds the clean water and dirty water and bend over and over again. It takes some strength to push that big machine around over and over again on the carpet to get it as clean as I can. I can't do it on a bad fibromyalgia day. Nope. I can't.
I bought steak on sale the other day. I would like to grill one today, if the weather is good. I don't like grilling in the rain. I just ate leftover taco fajitas for lunch and dinner yesterday, but there is no more of that left.
I don't know if I wrote about this os not, but I bought tickets for Caleb and me to see the ballet Swan Lake in Wilmington this Fall. We are also going to a Medieval Festival this Fall, as well as a CluedUpp Games event that is Alice in Wonderland themed. I also signed us up for a Situational Awareness safety class coming up soon. I forgot to tell my dad about that one. He will be happy to hear that.
As the temperatures fall, I will be able to spend more time outside comfortably. I hope to take the dogs on the beach for walks with Caleb. I have not been to the beach since Christinia was here. I do not get out much. It's a shame really. There is stuff to do here, but I can not seem to manage my health and go to do things I am interested in. It is hard enough to make sure my online homework gets done, and that does not require me to physically go anywhere!
I am listening to the "Enlightenment and Awakening" track from the Infinite Blessings audio files. It's so soothing and refreshing. I might have to listen again!
I asked my dad to tell me why Japan attacked Hawaii in World War II yesterday. He gave me a history lesson that I enjoyed. He should teach kids history. Later on at night, I asked him about World War I. Today I plan on hearing him speak about Vietnam. I can't stand to watch tv these days, so I don't have cable tv. My dad watches the history channel and the news all day long when he is awake. Listening to his Papa talk on the phone is calming for Caleb. It actually put him to sleep last night. I use speakerphone anytime I am on talking on the phone so I can hear people better, so he fell asleep in Papa's World War I class last night. It was sweet. My dad talked so much his mouth went dry! Bahahaha!
I just started the laundry for the day. I replenished my drink supplies by my chair, and just chugged a bunch of water. It is still too early to take my medications. It is now 0310. Maybe it's not too early. It takes time to put them together, and take them all, and let them settle in my stomach.
I want to get more cleaning done around the house today. I hope I feel good today so I can accomplish some of my goals. I emailed Erica yesterday and let her know that I never received the last 2 andara I ordered. When I looked up the tracking number, it said it was being returned to sender. I was so disappointed. I guess I will just have to wait again.
I am waiting on my new socks to arrive, along with the mattress encasements. I use a mattress encasement for my mattress to protect the mattress, and as a sheet. My sheets won't stay on the bed because I have an adjustable frame that I set to "Zero G" setting, which is not flat. The sheet does not stay on the mattress in that position, but that is the position that feels best to sleep in. When the mattress encasement gets too dirty, and/or destroyed, we throw it away, and replace it with a new one. The one on the bed now is filthy and has a tear in it. It is hard to wash them because they are waterproof and don't strain like regular laundry in the washing machine. They hold the water in pockets they form in the washing machine. They are also that much harder to dry too, because air does not go through them to dry. So it is just easier on us all to just throw it away when it's time.
I am excited about new socks because I want to start walking on my incline trainer. I have to remember to take it slow so I do not cause myself more fibromyalgia flare-ups than I already have. I want to get fit and feel good about myself!
"#BeastMode" became an international best-seller on amazon the day of the launch. I was not feeling well that day either, and so I did not contribute much to the launch at all. I was hardly even online that day because I felt so badly. Still, it's quite an achievement!
I am just refreshing my memory on what I have due in the mail. I ordered some supplements from Swanson Vitamins, but I don't remember what I bought.
I guess I can take my medications. BRB.
I took my medications. I ordered refills of the medications I need from the VA. I also sent a secure message to my primary care provider about my recent fibromyalgia flare ups and requested medication. I don't know what she will say, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
It is now 0348, and I am awake still. I can't lay down again until my pills settle in my stomach, or they will come up. Caleb is deep asleep and partially hanging off the bed! LOL
I am listening to the "Enlightenment and Awakening" track again. Maybe I will just take a much needed shower.
I just remembered to go back and save the Andara Attunement audio files to my computer.
I think I can lay down for a little while now. Be blessed my readers!
