New Start Day 90

     It is now 0655 and it's late for me to wake up. I have been awake for about 20 minutes. Caleb was awake and woke me up.I think I'm going to go ahead and take my medications real quick. I took most of my medications and supplements.

    Yesterday I was finally able to take a shower and change my clothes. It felt so good! I had to take Caleb to get his Covid-19 Omicron variant booster shot at the Walmart pharmacy. We went grocery shopping afterward. We stopped to get gas on the way home. As I was filling my tank an old man with a Ranger hat walked from his car to the shopette. I yelled out, "Rangers lead the way!" and he turned and looked back. I waved. He asked, "How do you know about Rangers?" I responded, "I'm a veteran!" He replied, "Have a Happy Veterans Day!"

    I stopped at Jersey Mike's for lunch on the way home. Caleb was feeling sick. so he didn't eat. We went home after that.

    I had a 2:00pm zoom call with Michal to be introduced to a Reiki buddy. Marcela had trouble, so we scheduled to talk later at 8:00pm. 

    I was not motivated to do work, so I wasted time on my computer. Caleb was resting, so I did not have the help I needed to get stuff done. 

    Yesterday I posted an introduction for my business to a bunch of Facebook groups I belong to. I got some responses and ended up giving a free session to a woman veteran sister.

    I scheduled the free Reiki session with Sheila Farr for Saturday morning. 

    I received alot of packages in the mail yesterday from zulily and amazon. I got my keto bread in and some blankets. 

    I reached out to Jonathan about helping us get our trash to the dump.

    I got the mail I want to send out ready to take to the post office. I am giving away copies of Let Go or Be Dragged and Clinging to the Vine to people who support my efforts in life. I am tired of having all the copies here doing me no good. 

    I watched the intro video to CreatorU. I am going to learn so much. 

    Today I am going to stay home. I have tickets to Swan Lake in Wilmington, but do not feel like going anywhere. I want to get laundry going and the dishwasher going. I want to collect as much junk and trash and bag it for someone to pick up. 

    I am planning on teaching Caleb Reiki level 1. I need to buy books from Michal to have on hand.  

    I need to attune 4 other people in-person as part of my Next Steps homework. 

    I have no other appointments today. 

    I met Marcela by Facetime last night. She seems like a nice woman. I am happy to help her with her Reiki Master homework. 

    I might have to run out to CVS to get Caleb's med refills.

    I have not been keeping to my diet. I already ruined today by eating Sour Patch Kids and Cheese Puffs this morning.

    I am wearing my new leggings and a t-shirt that says "Hey You Guys!" from the Goonies

    Caleb is wide awake so no meditation for me this morning.

    I lost my nose stud in the shower yesterday and forgot to put another stud in. I was walking around without it. Felt naked once I realized it.

    I bought stuff from Chewy for my dogs yesterday. 

    I guess Caleb is feeling better. He is cooking potatoes on the stove. We should be able to get stuff done today. 

    He was asking me what I was doing the other day and I told him, "I'm working on a deal. I'm trying to make money." I was emailing the home loan officer back and forth, trying to see if it was a good deal to pay off my credit card debts. I've come to the conclusion that refinancing my home loan is not the best option for me right now. I managed to get a good and low interest rate when I refinanced earlier this year, and I don't want to give that up and have a higher mortgage payment. The problem is that I'm not getting child support. Caleb is growing and needs new clothes and shoes all the time. It's expensive. 

    I can't wait to get this child support case resolved.

    My dad wants to help me once he gets his disability payments figured out. 

    Anyway, I touched based with Jenn, my Reiki partner from the Next Steps program. She is making progress on setting up her business too. It will be such a blessing once I have customers. I have to figure out how I want to do my marketing and advertising. Brandi agreed to do a youtube video interview with me in the near future. That should help me introduce myself and my business.

    Veterans Day is coming up. I will not be going out as far as I know. I just feel like I have so much work to do around here. I am behind in my classes due to being sick. I am not making regular progress in my learning how to promote my business yet. I am behind in my chores. The only thing I have kept up with is paying the bills. I'm grateful for that. I still want to create an exercise space in the living room and clear off my incline trainer. Caleb and I need to organize the shed because he threw my stuff all over the place. I'm still mad about that. I had everything in order too. I have more stuff to store in the shed and I can't right now. 

    I'm trying to get Caleb to collect his dirty clothes for me to wash. 

    I messaged Stacy about fixing the hole in the hallway wall and replacing 2 of the bedrrom doors. Might be best to replace all 3 so they are the same. I was trying to get a quote so I could put it in the budget. I need to get the house cleaned up so I can feel confident when I have a plumber come to fix the toilet that is running. 

    I think I'm ready to complete the rest of my morning routines. 

    Have a blessed day, and thank you for reading!
