Holidays Approaching Day 2

     The VA appraisal is done. I don't know what will come of it. I'm hoping for the best. I got a bunch of dishes washed. I have a simmer pot on the stove. I'm tired now. I've been up since 0630 or something like that. Caleb and I have been working on the house in preparation for the inspection. It did not get as clean as I wanted it, but we made it better than it was. I paid my bills  as I got paid today. In today, out today. That's how my money flows. Everything I have goes to bills. I barely have money for groceries and gas. 

    I was able to touch base with Dona Sharon this morning. She is trying to make her way over here, but she needs help to find her shoes. I can't even drive over there again. It's not even a possibility. I'm exhausted from everything going on. My dad's burial is what got me the most. I've been without energy for days since I got the news. I'm surprised I could clean anything this morning. I really did not want to get out of bed. I've got groceries to put away from yesterday. I have to run out and pay the water bill today too. I've got a ton of laundry that needs to be washed. I still have pots to clean and silverware to pre-wash. I 've got to deep clean the kitchen. I need a shower. I haven't even brushed my hair yet today. I need to brush my teeth. I bought toothpaste and rinse yesterday. I have to find them before they get lost. 

    I reached out to my brother and step-siblings and let them know that I am struggling to buy groceries without the cost of dad's burial. Now I am in even more debt than before because we did not raise enough money to cover all the costs associated with his burial. No one responded to my message. 

     I want to make something with the ground beef. I was thinking of making a cabbage soup again. That stuff was good!

    I don't have any more appointments today. I made the termite inspection appointment this morning for tomorrow morning. That should be the last of the requirements needed from me to close on the refinance of the house.

    I wish my dad was here. 

    The holidays are just around the corner. If Dona Sharon doesn't make it out here, it will just be me, Caleb, and the dogs. I am not planning a huge meal. I will make something simple that is according to my keto diet, with a side of carbs for Caleb. 

    I chatted with my mom this morning. I thanked her for the collagen she sent me for Christmas. I haven't tried it yet. It looks like it might be good. 

    I already took my meds and supplements. Caleb already took his meds. The dogs have been let outside. I just have to brush my hair and brush my teeth before I go to pay the water bill. I'm trying to think if there was anything else I needed to do while I'm out. I can't think of anything right now. We did big grocery shopping yesterday at Walmart. 

    I bought a rotisserie chicken and made myself a salad from the salad bar from Lowe's Foods for lunch yesterday. It was delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy. 

    I mailed Cousin Sandra's box out yesterday via UPS.

    I made sure to put gas in the Mazda yesterday while we were out.

    It's nice and cold in here today. It's too cold for Caleb, but not for me. I've got myself some blubber! LOL

    I can't think of anything more to say. I miss my dad. He always had something to talk about.

    Have a blessed day, and thank you for reading!
