It is now 0622 and I have been up for about 30 minutes. I was working on balancing one of my credit card accounts to make sure I am the only one using it. I am. Yesterday I began a load of laundry and went out to the backyard to pick up trash. I filled 3 kitchen trash bags pretty quickly. It was hot and sunny outside. I came inside to rest because it hurt my back to squat and bend over to pick that stuff up. I just wanted to try to make a difference out there for the appraisal since Caleb refuses to do it. Caleb was working on getting his room clean with Ashley. I came inside huffing and puffing to catch my breath and relieve my pain. I had to sit down for awhile. Caleb and Ashley spent the time they had to get his room cleaned up. Then Ashley and Caleb cleared the kitchen floor for me. After hurting my back, I needed a nap. I laid down for a couple of hours to rest while they continued to work.
I had a bowl of soup for breakfast. Later, after my nap I had another bowl of soup. I almost shit my pants on the way to CVS to pick up Caleb's medication. I was holding it in as long as I could, parked the car and walked as fast as I could to the CVS bathroom. I made it there just in time to release diarrhea. I funked up the women's bathroom, washed my hands and went to pick up Caleb's medication. I told the new lady that I needed a friend. I asked where the lady who was working at the next register went. Tatyanna heard me and came forward. I tried to explain that I needed Lysol for the bathroom because I made it smell bad. She told me they don't have anything back in the pharmacy but medications. She walked me up to the front register and got help. The lady working in front went to the shelf and grav=bbed a bottle of poo poo be gone for me to use. I went to bathroom and sprayed my funk. I returned the bottle to her and said, "I know it's weird, but I'm just trying to watch out for the next person! Happy holidays!" and we left.
Later, after getting home, I checked my glucose reading and ketones. My sugar was 101 2-3 hours after my last meal of soup. My ketones were 0.4 for the day. That's awesome! I need a 0.5 ketone reading to be in nutritional ketosis, so I'm almost there!
I was tired after all of that. I took my meds and went to bed.
I am hoping for another good day today. Ashley will be working on the hallway bathroom when she comes over. If there is time left over, she will clean my bathroom too. She has a short day today because her babysitter has a doctor's appointment.
Yesterday the VA appraisal company called me to schedule an appointment. They asked if I could do it on Thursday morning. I told them I was not free until December 15th. The house is not ready yet, so I had to push the appointment out. The appointment is set for December 19th now. That gives us plenty of time to get things right.
I missed yesterday's Next Steps class last night. I was too tired to stay up. I took a supplement called "Stress End" in the morning with the rest of my supplements. It made me sleepy all day, but my body was calm.
Today I will only eat 1 bowl of soup. I learned my lesson. I gave more soup to Ashley to take home yesterday. She likes it. I made a huge chili pot of it, but Caleb is not eating it with me. I don't want it to go bad before it gets eaten, so I shared.
I shared an extra bottle of "Stress End" with Ashley too. She has stress and could use it.
So... the laundry room is clean. The hallway just needs to have the carpet shampooed. The guest room is clean. Caleb's room needs to have the carpet shampooed too. We just have the bathroom in the hallway, my bathroom, my bedroom, and the living room (again). I have to clear the porch and the back yard. We are making good progress. I need to find the sheets for the guest bed and Caleb's bed.
I think I forgot to send 1 or 2 Christmas cards. I haven't heard anything from anyone about the ones I did send. I am making a box for second-cousin, Sandra. I think that might the last thing to ship.
Bella has her annual exam at the vet this morning. I am going to pick up Bubba's meds while I am there.
I am not going to take Stress end this morning. Instead, I will take it at night.
I still haven't found my toothbrush, toothpaste, and flossers from when we went to Lumberton. I need to find my light therapy heating pad too.
Jana Carrey shipped my flower essences yesterday, so hopefully I will get them in the mail before Sunday. I have an appointment with her on Friday.
Caleb just woke up. It is now 0657. Bubba is whining to get out of his crate.
Jonathan is coming over to haul our excess trash to the dump on Friday morning. We have a pile generating on the front porch.
Bella just walked out of my room to join us.
I guess it's time to get my medications together. The day is beginning and it's light outside.
Have a blessed day, and thank you for reading!
