New Start Day 99

     It is now 0007 and I keep waking up. I am soaked in my own sweat. I had to get up to dry off and air out. I needed a drink too. I commonly breathe through my mouth when sleeping so my mouth dries out. I am still very tired. I am very sweaty and hot though.

    Yesterday was a productive day. I was able to supervise Caleb and guide him into doing work. We got most of the boxes ready to be picked up and hauled away. They had to be moved to the porch, broken down into smaller pieces, and bagged. I worked on getting the kitchen cleaned up a bit. I mostly turned into a Drill Sergeat to get Caleb working though. He is so resistant to work. I just wanted everything be done with. I got him working on his laundry and he took the kitchen trash out. He broke down the boxes we stored on the porch temporarily and began to bag the pieces. I did not cook like I wanted. I ordered brunch using DoorDash and ordered from Bo'Jangles. Caleb just woke up.

    I woke up a couple hours ago for the same reason. I needed a drink and wanted to eat too. Today is Sunday. There is just so much work that we need to do. I feel like it never ends. I am going to take the opportunity to throw away the things that I no longer need or want, or donate them. I have all this stuff that was removed from the china cabinet I got rid of earlier this year. Caleb began working on fixing up the shed so we can use it again the other day. I need to box the stuff I want to keep, but not keep in the house,  and put it out there in the shed to store.

    I started putting my new houseplants where I want them to be. So far I have 2 live tiny Christmas trees unpacked and 4 smaller ribbon plants unpacked. Caleb unpacked the baby olive tree, and brought in the snake plant from the porch. It's beginning to look a lot greener in here. The air quality should get better too.

    I just took most of my medications and supplements. I was super thirsty, so why not go ahead and get that done while drinking my tea?

    Caleb went back to bed. I never did take a shower yesterday. I had a hard time doing much of anything yesterday. I wanted to get work done but I needed Caleb to do his work first. I didn't want to take a shower and then get cleaning the house afterward. 

    Today I am going to take a shower. It's a priority today. Caleb is going to pick up where he left off yesterday with his work. I have a turkey to roast. We have to make sure the trash bins and recycling bin are full and taken to the road. We are still washing laundry. We have a lot of blankets to wash. The Mazda needs to be cleaned out. 

    We are going to Lumberton on Tuesday because I have an appointment in Fayetteville on Wednesday. It is too far for me to drive all the way there and back in one day. I will have to bring the dogs with us and stay the night a couple of nights. 

    I'm trying to get as much work done as we can before we leave so we don't come home to so much work. 

    Yesterday I had a Reiki session scheduled with Rachel, but she was't feeling well. I meant to do a distance healing Reiki session to help her feel better, but I forgot about it as /i got more involved with housework. I have a Reiki session with Ashley this morning. I have a class tonight that I was not aware of. Tomorrow I take Bubba to get his flu shot in the morning.I have the Prosperous Healer class at night. Tuesday we are driving to Lumberton. Wednesday I have my appointment to get my new CPAP at the Fayetteville VA. Thursday we drive home. Friday I have my phone appointment with Dr. Kent regarding my diabetes medications.Saturday and Sunday I have all-day class in Breathwork Facilitating. So it's non-stop work over here this week.

    In between all that we have to catch up on our chores and pay the bills. Time goes by so fast because we are almost always working. 

    I had a rough day yesterday. Caleb is so resistant to working that we often run into trouble whenever I need him to work. Let's just say there was a lot of yelling going on. I could not get my point across to him. It's like he has the hardest time understanding that he needs to clean up after himself all the time. I cannot be his maid. I cannot afford to hire a maid for him. He must be responsible for picking up his messes. He is old enough to do it without me having to tell him every single time. It's frustrating as Hell. No matter how many times I tell him, it's not sinking in that "Hey! This important!"

    He has to argue and talk back about every job I tell him to do. I would not have survived my teenage years if I did that. 

    Anyway, I think I'm going to try to get more rest. It is only 0134 now. I haven't slept a lot. I need quality sleep. It's hard to get without my CPAP. I am using a student pillow turned upside down to support me leaning upward as I rest. I have to have my head up to breathe, but not like on a regular pillow. I need to leaning against a pillow from my shoulders up where my head can rest and not be suffocated by the pillow. I sleep on my back. I can't wait to have my new CPAP machine. 

    Both the dogs are sleeping in my bed with Caleb. I am ready to go join them. I have a lot of work to get done today. I did not even realize that I have a class tonight until I looked at my calendar earlier. Ugh. This is why I can't go back to school. I can't manage all this stuff on a regular basis. 

    In other news, Sheila wants to buy a Reiki session gift certificate for someone for Christmas! Isn't that awesome?! I am excited. I was thinking that I would make gift certificates, but I never got around to it. 

    I spent some of yesterday backing up my computer to the new external hard drive I bought. It is 16TB. I thought I was getting a good deal, but there is no backup software and Windows does not recognize the device half of the time. In order to avoid problems in the future I went ahead and bought another external hard drive from a trusted brand to back my computer up. 

    I still haven't gotten caught up on the classes I missed. I have to watch Module 4 of the Next Steps Program, a few Revelation Breathwork and Prosperous Healer seminars too. I feel bad for missing so many live classes. It sucks to fall behind. 

    1 have 3 ads running on Facebook/Instagram that have converted to 0 appointments. I don't know if it's a total waste because now more people know I'm in business. I updated my website a few days ago so there is more information available. 

    I'm wondering if I might be able to catch up with a couple of friends while I'm in Fayetteville. Lella lives close by. I'm not sure how far away Rachel is. I have a Facebook friend who works at one the VA clinics in Fayetteville too. It'd be nice to see them again. I need to give Lella a hug because we made it this far. It's been about 15 years since we were stationed in Korea together. 

    I was offered a partial scholarship to an 800Hr Yoga Program. I decided to take it. I don't know why I can't stop taking classes. My schedule is so full already. I guess I just enjoy the learning. It will allow me to offer more services in the future. The program is so expensive and I really wanted to try it. I could not just sit back and let the opportunity pass without acting on it. I might not ever be able to afford to take it again. If someone offers you a scholarship and you don't take it, do you think they will offer you another scholarship at a later date? Probably not, right? 

    Anyway, I just finished my Dew. I'm ready to go lie down in bed. 

    Have a blessed day, and thank you for reading!
