Collecting My Thoughts

     It is now 0654. Caleb is riding the bus to school. It's pretty cold outside. I even put the heat on in the house to bring the temperature up to 65 degrees. I even have a flannel shirt on, and those who know me, know that I don't normally get cold.

    I don't know what today brings. It's Friday. It's been a busy week. I have been trying to get the hallway carpet steam cleaned by sections. I have been trying to keep the kitchen clean and spray for bugs. My house is disorderly right now. We went grocery shopping yesterday after Caleb came home and the groceries are still in bags on the floor. 

    I am working on my VA Supplemental Calim. I have a personal statement that I am trying to work on. I want to be as complete and descriptive as possible.

    I am working on getting my Reiki business going. I need at least 2 more reviews from paying customers to get my profile completed on heal.me. I think that is what is holding me up as far as getting seen by prospective customers. My business profile won't show up in the search on heal.me without my profile being complete with 3 reviews.

    Yesterday I spent the morning listening to Christinia. I then took a shower and relaxed for a little while.I really did not get anything done other than taking my shower. That's just how it is for me though. I get tired after showering and need a nap.

    Now that Caleb is back in public school, I am on call. I have had to pick him up from school due to stomach issues already. I brought the school nurse a bottle of pepto bismol and ibuprofen for future use at school.

    I have missed my dad more now that I spend most of the day alone. Nana doesn't sleep at night so she sleeps during the day.

    Caleb showed me one of his school assignments that he got a good grade on! I'm super happy about it.

    I have so much work to do, but I have done alot too. Jonathan came and picked up the bagged waste we had in the front yard for us. That's one less thing for the neighbors to complain about. I have pet vac'd the hallway and steam cleaned a section of it so far repeatedly. Bella has been having accidents in front of Nana's doorway. I got rid of alot of waste from the laundry room, and am almost caught up on cleaning the laundry! I cleared off the countertop and cleaned it in the kitchen. I caught up on cleaning the dishes. I still have dishes to wash now because I did not wash dishes yesterday. I have to remove everything from the pantry and spray for bugs. I have to throw away any open food, and organize the rest of the stuff that we are keeping. I have to clean it out before I spray it and replace the food. I have to remove the dishes from the cabinets, clean out the cabinets, and spray. I probably should wash everything all over again before putting back what we are keeping. I should probably donate the excess that keeps falling out of the kitchen island.

    I am looking for a Pulsetto device that I received awhile back. I want to use it. I think I bought one for Nana too. It is a device that stimulates the Vagus nerve. I know it will prove to be helpful in the long run for our pains.

    I blocked somebody on Facebook who was using me. It wasn't worth what I was going through. I feel better now.

    I bought a new series of DVDs that are going to help me get rid of my back pain. I can't wait to try them out!

    My Fitbit broke, and now I am using the Wolfnotch SugaPro diabetes watch. I only usually use it to tell me the time, but it says it has the ability to bring my glucose levels down. I have tried it, but I need to try it by testing my glucose before and after using the SugaPro.

    I was trying to figure out if I can get rid of some of the clutter around my workspace. It's not easy for me to do. I collect stuff by my chair because it makes it easier on me to be able to reach the stuff I use frequently.

    Caleb cried in Math class yesterday and was told by his teacher "that is unacceptable." I don't know why Caleb wasn't sent to the guidance counsellor. I have a feeling I need to have a talk with her. Kids are being mean to Caleb in P.E. because he can't do crunches. I told him we all have our starting places and we only get better from there. I told him to ignore the people who make him feel badly, and focus on the people who make him laugh and smile.

    We went to Amsterdam Life yesterday so I could get more e-juice. I know. I'm supposed to be quitting, but I'm just not ready yet. We saw Zach and DJ and it was a good visit. Caleb likes talking to them both.

    So, pretty much, right now I am just trying to get my house in order so I can focus on my business and my VA claim. It's alot of work for me to do alone. It would be alot easier if I had Caleb at home to help me. 

    This weekend we will be working on the house together. Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the kids will be off from school. 

    Tuesday I go to renew my driver's license. Thursday I go to pick Caleb up at school to take him to his mental health appointments, and then to see the social worker afterwards.

    I have to take labs at some point at the VA.

    I had my call with my pharmD yesterday. She was not upset about my holiday numbers, so that was good. I am doing ok now. I am back in ketosis, and want to stay in ketosis for as long as possible.

    I just realized that I got paid so I was paying my bills. I always pay my bills as soon as I get paid. I have to go get the Mazda inspected before I can renew my registration. I have to go pay the water bill too when the Town opens. I guess I will make a trip to Walmart since I am headed out that way. I need my keto bread and almond milk. Going to try to keep the shopping to what we need this time. I always seem to leave with enormous amounts of groceries when I shop at Walmart. I have to learn to cut back. I can't pay all my bills as it is. I am behind on my credit card payments. Ever since I was scammed out of $500, I've been in the hole. Now my minimum payments are so high that I can't even pay them anymore. 

    I'm trying to do so much all at once. I can't wait to be able to just work on HealiNergy LLC. Looks like it's going to be a day of running around. I'm going to be tired by the time Caleb gets home. I still have to figure out what I'm making for dinner. I likely will stop at Lowe's Foods for their chicken thighs and drumsticks on sale. 

    I have been giving myself Reiki before I fall asleep at night. It works wonders as far as getting me to fall asleep without pain and staying asleep through the night. I want to teach Nana how to give herself Reiki treatments, so she can do it as needed. That is the reason I trained in Reiki. I did not want to pay someone else and be on a calendar with an appointment, when I need Reiki throughout my day, like all the time. 

    I was thinking about holding a class online. I have to be able to commit to the length of the class. It's hard to do right now because I have many responsibilities. I really need to get this house cleaned up to where we only need to maintain it. I can't wait for that time to come.

    I hear Nana in the background. I need to see if she needs anything before I go out into the world. I want to be as efficient as possible. 

    It's been a long time since I've been able to sit at my computer to blog. 

    I guess I should get started. The sun is out, and I am grateful.

    Thank you for reading, and have a blessed day!
