Just an update

     It feels like it's been a long time since I last blogged. First let me share with you an interview I recently did:

https://www.mysticmag.com/psychic-reading/interview-jenniferdemello/

    So yesterday I spent most of the day cleaning my room. I had over 5 laundry baskets of clean clothes to fold and put away. Now I only have a couple that are my stuff. I gave Caleb all his stuff to put away in his room. Caleb has been working on cleaning his room for inspection. I am waiting for him to vaccum the floor, so I can shampoo the carpet. We have to show alot of progress on Caleb's room and the living room to the social worker this week. It has been stressful.

    Today is Thursday and I have a re-examination appointment with my physical therapist today. I then have to pick up Caleb's medications from CVS. I then have to go to Walmart because we need to restock toilet paper and paper towels. I might need to put gas in the car too before coming hime.

    Yesterday was Wednesday. I spent alot of time trying to clean out my room. I had a mountain of dirty clothes in a pile that I was able to start washing. I folded clothes and had Caleb put his clothes away. I need to put my clothes away. They are still on my bed. I still have to take the trash out of my room too. 

    Tuesday Caleb was supposed to have both a therapy appointment and a psychiatrist appointment, but for some reason his therapy appointment was cancelled. We met his new psychiatrist, Dr. David Moes. He was helpful.

    I was supposed to have a Reiki appointment yesterday, but my friend did not show up because she was not feeling well. 

    I made corned beef brisket in the slow cooker yesterday. I also made hard boiled eggs for later yesterday.

    I want to say I washed a bunch of dishes on Tuesday. Caleb was hoarding trash and dirty dishes in his room. He got most of the trash out of his room so far. I have almost all of his dirty dishes washed.

    I think it was sometime over the weekend that I cooked the turkey dark meat for Thanksgiving. I was not feeling up to it until then. I undercooked them the first time around, and had to re-cook them the following morning. They turned out right finally. I did not want to cook anymore, so I asked if we could wait for the sides for Christmas. Nana was going to make homemade stuffing and cranberry sauce. I have been struggling to get the kitchen cleaned up and kept cleaned up. Everyday I am washing dishes from who knows where, all of a sudden showing up.

    I don't have anything to cook today. We still have Turkey leftovers to eat though.

    I had my appointment with Dr. Hueholt last week I think. I told her about the xylophone image that pops up and I feel dizzy like I'm going to fall. She questioned all the supplements I take, and said I should stop taking them. I created a list of all the supplements I take. I only take the delta-8 for intense pain. I only take the kratomade in the morning so I can work. Without it, I am in alot of chronic pain. I use the hape' every so often when I feel like it. All the other supplements are herbal supplements for my health from Swanson. They help me keep my sugar low, my energy up, my hot flashes down....etc. I vape e-juice chronically out of habit and stress.

    I tried a new e-juice for my e-cigarette. It mkes me feel sick and so I stopped taking it once I realized that it was the problem. It made me throw up the other morning. I will never buy that brand again!

    I have to run a gofundme donation in order to have fresh vegetables in the house until I got paid. I only get paid twice a month. Thank God for my donors! I had spent my money on preparing Thanksgiving dinner, and ran out of money for fresh vegetables to eat! It's so important for this keto diet. Canned products have sugars in them, and besides I have never seen canned broccoli, cauliflower, or red bell peppers that are good to put on a vegetable platter for snacking.

    It has been busy to say the least. I did that interview, which was awesome. I wish I had done it by video though.

    It's tough. We are all grieving. Dad's date of passing was December 13th. It's so depressing to go through the holidays without him. I wanted to go to his gravesite, but now think I will not be able to go there. It is a long drive from here. I don't want to have to take everybody including both dogs and stay the night somewhere, but I might have too. I miss my dad everyday. These holidays are hitting hard as the first ones without him around making jokes.

    Tomorrow is a free day. It's free of appointments so far. We are still cleaning the house. Caleb needs a haircut. I need to cut my nails and get ready for the day. I am sitting here, just glad I finally got a shower on Tuesday. It's hard for me to take showers because of my chronic pain and the energy drain it causes. It's like I can't do anything else the day I shower, which means I have to schedule my showers carefully.

    Caleb's IXL curriculum is due for annual renewal soon. I don't know that I will have enough money to renew it. It costs $200 a year but has all his school stuff he needs included.

    I have to figure out what we are going to eat for the next week. I just got paid, but after paying my bills, I don't have much leftover. I might resort to eating sandwiches more often. Nana doesn't mind eating progresso soups, and Caleb likes soup too. 

    Last night I got a text message from FedEx that triggered me into having tingling sensations all over that led to burning sensations. It made me feel sick. It wasn't the message itself, but the colors on my phone that triggered me. It was just telling me that we have a package coming.

    Nana had her doctor appointment last Tuesday. I had my pool therapy that afternoon, so it was a busy day. I enjoyed talking to her doctor, and made sure that everything needed was brought up.

    Yeah. I am looking at my Google calendar. Caleb had a therapy appointment last Monday morning, and later that morning is when I had the video appointment with Dr. Hueholt. That Monday afternoon, I had a Reiki session with a friend  of mine. I hope she leaves a good review for me!

    Wednesday and Thursday were appointment free. Friday I spoke with Cheryl Hanson for the first time about what hse offers for healing. I was referred to her by my highschool mentor, Kristen Leatherman from Young Life. I am excited to have the actual appointment with Cheryl. I love her already!

    Finally, the sun is shining. That is what caused even more health problems over the holidays, the lack of sunshine. It was cold and rainy, and really painful for Nana and me. I'm so glad to see the sunshine yesterday and today. I'm glad it's cold too. I wait all year for it to not be hot. I run hot regularly. I wear tank tops or sleeveless dresses with shorts all the time.

    I'm expecting a call from the DSS social worker soon to inspect the house. I hope it is good enough for her to close our case. We have been working hard to get all the trash out of the house and get organized and have a safe way in and out of the house for the wheelchair.

    I had a free energy healing on Saturday with Chris Roberts. I feel better since then. I feel like what he was saying was true for me, and I know I needed his help. I look forward to seeing him in the future. He has programs available for me to learn his techniques that I am interested in.

    One class is this weekend. I hope I make it every night. He is on Pacific time, so it's late for me.

    I almost forgot that Carla and Tyrone came to help clean up for about an hour last week too. Carla is coming back tomorrow afternoon, I think. 

    Caleb is making himself some tea. He made Nana her coffee, but I think she finally fell asleep. She had a rough night last night dealing with her pain. I slept the best I have in years last night, but I woke up around 0330 needing a drink of water. I felt like I slept deeply for once. I think it has alot to do with my room getting better. Environments are so important to our health. I cleared a path to get out, so I will not trip anymore. I had clothes all over the floor because the pile of dirty clothes kept getting spread around with us walking over them. 

    I can't wait to get this house right. 

    I've been praying a lot lately. I've been sleepy through the rainy days. I tried to rest, but I can't sleep when I am on kratomade. I can rest my body by lying down, but I can't stop my brain from working, so I pray and pray some more.

    Caleb is playing music now on his portable speaker from his phone.

    I really upset Nana the other day by playing some hard rap music. It triggered her memory of my dad this one day when they happened to be getting gas at the gas station and he told some guys to respect his wife and turn down the hard rap music. It made her cry, and I feel bad about that. I was just listening because I needed help to get moving and cleaning. It was so hard for me to get anything done while it was raining. She asked that I let her know in advance in the future when I am going to listen to that kind of music on the speaker.

    Well, it's time for me to get Caleb's medications ready for him to take. It was nice catching up. I hope you pray for us to get out of this trouble with DSS.

    Thank you for reading, and have a blessed day!
