New Start Day 59

     It is now 0345 and I have already taken my medications. Yesterday was a productive day. I was not in a lot of pain. I was finally able to clean up the kitchen and get my laundry in the washing machine. I had Caleb sweep the kitchen floor for me and take out the kitchen trash. I had to throw away a lot of food that I didn't get to cook in time, but I still had food to cook for dinner. I cooked zucchini and yellow squash in the frying pan, and a pot of noodles. The noodles were for Caleb. I did my daily quiz yesterday, and I also completed my weekly quiz. 

    I did not listen to any meditations all day long. 

    I tried using a CBD + Stress support supplement I bought from Swanson Vitamins. It seems to be helping me a lot. I am also taking the Calm Concentration supplement from them.

    I added the list of fibromyalgia interventions to my notebook for future use when I can't think myself out of a hat. That's what happens when I have a fibromyalgia flare up. Everything hurts so bad that I can't think about anything but trying to get relief.  

    I posted in Autism Women's Facebook group I belong to. I am not the only one there with both Autism and fibromyalgia. It would be interesting to study the correlation between the two in women. 

    Today I have already started the laundry up again. I want to get as much laundry done as I can before the hurricane hits and we might lose electricity. I want to get the dishwasher running too so we have all of dishes cleaned before then. Hurricane Ian hit Florida last night. I only have a few days before it expected to hit us. 

    My dad had a rough night of sweating, dizziness, and not feeling well the night before last. He slept for the day yesterday as recovery. 

    Caleb received his replacement laptop screen yesterday and installed it right away. 

    We have been listening to the Addams Family DVDs since they arrived. I love Morticia and Gomez Addams in those movies.

    I think I will have to purchase the Harry Potter DVDs for the upteenth time. Caleb cant take care of them. They are like sacred to me and he does not even know where they are right now. 

    I hope to work on the hallway today and get more laundry done. I still have to clean off the stovetop and kitchen island, along with the microwave, air fryer, and crockpot. I was thinking of getting a chuck roast to cook, even though they are not on sale. I am craving a Goulash type roast with zucchini, yellow squash, maybe eggplant, onions, garlic, a tiny bit of tomato paste, and meat. 

    The dryer is almost done! What a relief! It has a lot of my far-infrared tank tops in there. I need them before I go to take a shower. I also have a lot of my underwear in there. 

    Mom text me this morning that Granny and Pepere are in Michigan until Saturday unless the airport is still closed.

    My shoulders hurt. I don't know why. I think I carry my stress in my shoulders. I need to find that massager that Christinia bought me. I need to get the aches to go away. 

    I need to work on my paper that is due next week. I just want to try to catch up on this housework first. I hate feeling so overwhelmed and behind in my housework.

    Things are a lot easier for me when I am not having a flare up. I'm trying to make the most of my time while I can before I get put on bed rest again. 

    I think I am able to listen to something today, but I don't know what to choose. Maybe the Quan Yin meditation, now that Caleb is still sleeping. I will be able to concentrate better than when I listened to it last time when he was awake.  

     Ok so I just checked my refund from Zulily. It was not for the amount that was in the email from the support team. I am kind of disappointed. I hope it gets fixed. 

    I am just listening to the opening of the Jana Carrey Quan Yin guided meditation now. 

    Had to go change the laundry. The dryer was finished. I had to go into Caleb's room and pick up dirty laundry because he is asleep. I found some of my jewelry in his room. I am not happy about it. He will be cleaning his room today. My back hurts now. I just want to get the laundry clean and I have to encounter this bullshit. He had a laundry basket in his room, but the dirty laundry wasn't in it. It was all over the floor! Like WTF Caleb?! I almost feel like waking him up. It is currently 0507. I got enough laundry to wash several loads, but there is still more in his room. Like he hoards his dirty laundry even though I ask him on a regular basis to give me his dirty clothes to wash. 

    I should be getting the deposit of my Schwab account today or tomorrow. Hopefully it is today so I can pay down my credit cards that I use to buy groceries and gas. I don't know if I get paid my normal direct deposit today or tomorrow either. Either way, everything goes to pay the bills! I need to have someone fix the hallway toilet because it runs and we have to keep the lid off of the tank to make sure it stops. It's costing me a fortune because my water bill is now high. 

    I am so upset about finding my jewelry in Caleb's room. It wasn't even cared for. I don't know what he was doing with my jewelry. It's not right. I feel violated. I found the chain that my grandpa gave me and my mom's old wedding ring from when she married my dad. He has no idea what he has done.

    He just woke up. I did not lose my shit. I communicated effectively without yelling. I'm proud of myself. Parenting is hard.

    I am still listening to the guided meditation. I got the laundry going. I found the towels I was looking for. I have a basket of clean laundry to fold and I am happy about that. 

    I wonder if my dad is awake. It is 0523, probably isn't. 

    I feel like I need this meditation time today.

    I just got my deposits. Gotta go pay the bills. I'm listening to the meditation in the background. So much for that!

    Hope you have a blessed day my readers!
