It is now 0341. We are expecting hurricane Idalia to arrive soon, within the next couple of days. I have enough water for each person and dog for 4 days. I am preparing myself for a mandatory evacuation. We have canned foods to last a few days. I am mentally preparing to pack my medications and supplements, along with Caleb's and Nana's. I was able to purchase doggy CBD for both dogs to weather the storm, and CBD for Caleb. I bought a delta-8 blend of gummies for Nana the day before yesterday. It helps with her pain. I am using a disposable vape pen of delta-8 blend that is helping with my pain. Thank God for Zack at Amsterdam Life! He knew exactly what I needed for my circumstances.
I had some of Caleb's cookies last night, which I am not proud of, but I did enjoy them! Keebler's coconut dreams, and Keebler's Fudge stripe cookies!
Ebony came over yesterday to help us clean up. She is such a big help! I either need to get better to be able to clean up more, or need to find a way to continue paying her to come clean.
I had my OB/GYN appointment on Monday. We made it there early. I saw the nurse first for intake procedures, and she kindly asked me (after I asked her to chaperone) if I would prefer a female doctor. I said a huge "Yes!" So after doing the intake, she took me to the front to reschedule my appointment. It works better for me to have a female OB/GYN. Besides, I forgot my binder that I created just for this appointment to be able to show my lab work that I have already done. I need to update my medication sheet too.
I grilled out Shaq burgers Monday for dinner, but I overcooked them. Mine were dry. I want to grill out more burgers, and this time I won't forget my phone! I use a timer to make sure the burgers are not overdone.
Caleb picked up the yard in preparation for the hurricane. Once I am finished with the grill, it will have to be moved too.
I am creating a list of things I need to pack in case we need to leave the house for the hurricane.
I finally got a response from Spinal Flow Technique about my refund. They are going to process a partial refund for my circumstance, so I am happy with that.
I did not do my normal walk on Monday. I was just too tired, even though I got up early. I felt like I couldn't manage the energy it takes for me to walk a mile. I am not just casually walking. I am thinking and feeling each step, correcting my walking behavior. My pelvis and lower back hurt. Walking at a steady pace, one that is both challenging and not too stressful is supposed to help with my Fibromyalgia. I have aquatic therapy on Thursday I think. It might be canceled due to Hurricane Idalia. The auatic therapy hurts alot after I have completed the exercises, and causes a Fibromyalgia flare up that keeps me in bed for several days afterwards. It's a big time investment to get better even a little bit. I lose so much time to Fibromyalgia, and I can't get things done during a flare-up. I am hoping this delta-8 blend will change that for me, reducing the pain and reducing my time in bed.
Bella is here with me. I gave her a sample of the doggy CBD last night. She is normally calm when the weather is good, so I did not see a change in her behavior. We gave Bubba a sample too. I don't know what his response was.
Caleb is supposed to have a psychiatrist and talk therapy today. It will depend on how the weather is though. I am not driving through a tropical storm or hurricane.
I got my laundry started yesterday. It should be done today. Next is Caleb's laundry. Making progress.
Nana and Caleb cleaned up under the bathroom sink area yesterday. I know she is happy with that now.
I am waiting to get paid so I can pay my bills. I am really stretching my pennies right now.
I have not been able to keep up with the Angel meditations by Melaine Beckler, nor the recording of the live classes from the Vocal Resonance Method. I still have to record the Facilitator live classes and the Business classes. I also have a deadline for recording the Drum and Song Academy classes.
So...what am I going to do today? Well, that depends on the weather. I was planning to grill hamburgers later this morning so we would have them already made for dinner even if it rains. Caleb has his 2 appointments today. I think we are all stocked up on what we need for this hurricane. I might go ahead and start packing to leave town. I have to make sure that Caleb completely emptied the van.
I still have laundry to wash. I still have a kitchen to clean. I need to find the bags I want to pack in case of a mandatory evacuation.
I'm ready to rest now.
It's going to be a busy day.
Thank you for reading, and have a blessed day!
