It is now 0240 and I just took all of my medications and supplements except my Victoza shot. I got out of bed because I could not sleep. I was too warm and my CPAP mask was making noise. Yesterday I had a slow start in the morning. I gave Caleb his meds then I turned on the radio so I could wash the dishes. I knew I needed to work on my paper but the sink was overfilling with dirty dishes and I had no motivation to write. I prewashed the dishes to load the dishwasher and handwashed as many dishes as I could fit in the dish strainer. I took a break and by then it was time to get ready to take the dogs to the vet to have their nails cut. We left the house early enough to pick up Caleb's medication from CVS before we went to the vet's office. Bella and Bubba got their nails cut with no problems and we came back home. I started making a giant salad for my lunch. Caleb made himself garlic knots in the air fryer. After lunch I was tired and went to lie down. I couldn't fall asleep and got out of bed a couple of hours after resting. I still wasn't motivated to write my paper. I was tired. I don't remember doing much else, just tried to get Caleb to take the trash out. I did listen to Harry Potter yesterday. I didn't eat dinner due to being full from lunch. I took my medications and went to lie down. My numbers were good. My glucose was 113 or something close and my ketones were 0.5! I was in ketosis!
While I was in bed I viewed the ABC news app to catch up on what's happening in the world. I called my dad to tell him about what I read. We talked all about the news. It was good for me.
Today I really do have to focus on my paper. It's going to be time-consuming just to get the references cited. I have to double-check my work after I complete a few drafts and editing, before I submit it. I want to not think about it anymore. I want it to be over.
I got a call from Coach Brandi yesterday. I was surprised that she wanted to talk to me. We made a deal that she would be my volunteer to practice Reiki on weekly. It's a good deal as I am out of practice, and could be charging people for my services. I will get back into practice, perhaps take on more volunteers for my portfolio, and get out there. I will develop the confidence I need to take up Michal's "Next Steps" class next year. I need hours under my belt. I need feedback. I need practice.
I asked my dad if he was serious about going to Alaska with me. I thought about it afterward. I don't know how Dona Sharon will make it through the airport. She can't walk far at all. I will have to ask about that because we would be flying across the country. I don't have the money to drive two cars from the North Carolina coast to Seattle, Washington.
I wore my Clear Quartz crystal crown yesterday while I was washing the dishes, driving to CVS, and at the vet's office. There's no shame in my game. I just felt like I wanted to, and so I did.
I received my nail polish shipment yesterday and my Torrid order of winter jacket and coat. I haven't tried on the Torrid order yet. Caleb opened the nail polish box and was ready to paint my nails when he saw the really cool nail polishes I bought! One looks like it is the galaxy in a bottle. Some of the others are Hocus Pocus 2 themed. I told him he could wear some if he wanted to, and he was like "For real?" "Yeah," I told him. He was so happy! It's the little things in life I tell ya.
I am listening to Elizabeth Peru's "Release the past" meditation.
Wow. That was amazing. I feel good now. I might need to do that a few times over to get it all taken care of, but that was a good start. I'm glad I decided to listen to her today.
I am ready to rest again. My body feels peaceful. It is now 0350. I have been awake for a long time. I want to be energized when I get up again so I can work on my paper all day. We have no appointments today, so there are no distractions.
Have a blessed day! Thank you for reading! Feel free to comment and/or share.
