It is now 0537 on Thursday. Alot has happened since the last time I blogged. Sunday I had to call the police and EMS to my house. I asked Caleb to wash out the kitchen trash can. He wanted to argue and got me arguing back. The situation escalated when I told him to give me his computer. He refused over and over. I told him I would "make the call" to DSS to have him taken from my custody because he doesn't obey me, and I refuse to become violent to get him to. I picked up the phone and called. The call was on speakerphone. Then Caleb started saying "I don't want to live anymore!" He was banging his head on the rear outside wall of the house, and then on the bookcase in front of me. When he threw something across the kitchen is when I decided I needed help right away. No one answered at DSS because the office was closed. I called 911 not knowing what else to do.
The police came first and de-escalated the situation. I was taken outside to talk and Caleb was inside talking. I noticed that Caleb had not taken his morning medications. I made it clear that Caleb did not take his medications, and that he is a different person when taking them. I asked if EMS was coming to check Caleb out. The police called in EMS. I knew Caleb caused injury to his head with how hard he was hitting his head on the bookcase. I made it clear that Caleb has special needs because of Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and ODD.
When EMS arrived, I walked up to the medics and let them know that Caleb did not take his medications and his diagnoses. I told them what happened, and what I wanted to happen. I wanted Caleb to take his medications, and I wanted EMS to check his head for injuries.
I knew I was taking a risk by calling for help. The house was a disaster and unsafe. Well things calmed Sunday before the police and EMS left.
Yesterday, Wednesday, I got a text message from a DSS social worker that hse was trying to reach me. I called her from the Lowe's Home Improvement parking lot. She told me there were accusations of a child living in unsafe conditions, and that she needed to see the house. I made arrangements to meet her.
I was at Lowe's to get some holiday storage containers for the stuff Nana bought for the holidays.
I came home when done, and within about 15 minutes Stephanie was here to talk. Overall the meeting went well. I am guessing the police reported me when they saw the house to talk to Caleb.
I didn't get much else done yesterday. It was a stressful day. I did manage to get quite a few dishes washed or loaded into the dishwasher.
I am trying to remember how Tuesday went. I wasn't feeling the greatest. Since about Saturday I was having a bad reaction to a new medication. My birth control dosage changed and I had negative side effects. My legs and face were lobster red and hot to the touch. I was dizzy alot and scared to walk without holding onto the furniture.
I managed to have the last video call with Larisa Gosla though. I also managed to get us to and from Caleb's therapy appointment. I was exhausted by the end of the day.
Monday I met with Carla for a little while. She brought over homemade cookies that were delicious!
Sunday we had the police event.
Saturday Mike was here and spent the day with us. I cooked 3 different meals during the day. I made 2 pots of chili. One was keto friendly and the other one was regular. I made boneless pork ribs in the crockpot. I also made a London broil on the grill with grilled vegetables. Oh! I almost forgot! I made homemade molho, and that took a lot of time.
I realized the chili wasn't seasoned as well as I wanted it. So the next day I went and bought more seasoning to recook both chili pots with.
Mike was going to stay the night with me, but his step-daughter messaged him that she needed him for a medical emergency and he had to leave in the middle of the night.
I had a really good time with Mike. I really enjoy his company. Bella loves him too.
I had a seizure-like incident while we were resting in bed together Saturday afternoon. I just was having involuntary muscle spasms, but I did not lose consciousness.
Today is Thursday. I have pool therapy this afternoon. I will be cleaning outside of that time. I have laundry to do in the background. I want to get the dishwasher loaded and running. I want all the clean dishes in the dish strainer put away. Nana and I are going to unpack her packages and inventory her orders and then put the items away in the storage boxes we bought yesterday. That already sounds like alot to do. I bought a different 9 cube organizer from Amazon that I was able to put together. Caleb broke the one I bought from Walmart when he was putting it together. He had it put together somewhat, then it fell and broke the holes the pieces were meant to go in.
Caleb's room has to be cleaned up. He is going to need help. The dog crates need to be cleaned out so we can use them.
I bought the 9 cube organizer to replace the broken dresser we were using to store dog supplies. I have the collaspible boxes to organize things in. Once we get that where it belongs, it will look much better in the living room than it currently does. We have groceries to put away. The list is never-ending.

I am now selling Kratomade too. I sell directly though. Currently I only have the berry blend flavor available.
I bought a really cool looking hoodie from Grunt Style that I decided to try on just now. It is so comfortable! I love it! And it is cold enough in here to keep it on while I blog.
I did make some changes to my website. I am not finished with it. I am just getting started. Check it out.
I don't think I have any appointments tomorrow so I will be able to work on the house without interruptions. Mike has been feeling badly all week, so he is likely going to stay at home this weekend. We are already preparing things for Thanksgiving here. I need to make space in the fridge and the freezer.
I think I may have fallen victim to a scam. I applied for a Dr. Pepper car wrap job. I just get the car wrapped and drive around doing my normal things and get paid weekly. Well, a check and instructions were mailed to me. I almost didn't deposit the check, but I was desparate and depositted it into my account. I don't trust the check has any value now that I have had interactions with the person who is in charge of the process that is supposed to take place. I made the mistake of sending $500 to "the person doing the car wrap." I don't believe any of this is legit. I believe they took my $500 knowing that their check has no value, and now I'm out of $500. I can't believe this happened. The check is on partial hold until November 7th. I hope the check is real and fully deposits and doesn't leave me in the negative.
Anyway, I don't know what to do about that situation yet. I might have to call my bank.
I already took my meds, but I haven't taken my kratom yet. I need a bottled water. I guess I should get going. It's getting late. It's already 0648 now.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day!
