So yesterday I spent the day going to Wilmington. I had to turn in my saliva labs, do other labwork, and was supposed to get my Celebrex. I didn't want to wait forever for the Celebrex, so I didn't. I was offered coffee on the way out. I had half a cup with one vanilla creamer and some Splenda. While I was chatting with the veteran volunteers, another veteran came from behind me and says "Madam.... you are looking good today!" I thanked him and had a big smile. He was an older veteran wearing a veteran hat. Before I left I stopped to renew my VA health card. After that, I left and went to Fresh Market to look for Portuguese rolls. I got frustrated with the GPS, and decided not to go to Apple Annie's to see if they had sold Portuguese rolls. Fresh Market did not have them, but they did sell the mozarella burrata that Nana was looking for, sold I bought her some of that. I then went to the Asian Life Market to buy a big container of kimchi. After that I went to Harris Teeter in Leland to buy the shrimp they had on sale. I went home finally, and just in time to let the dogs out. My back was hurting and so was my left hip area. I don't know why.
Today I might go to Walmart. I haven't decided. I need a few things. Carla is coming over at 1300 to have a bible study. I need to get cleaning this house. I was away all day yesterday. I figured that I had to go for labs, so why not make the most of the trip? I kind of just want to stay home today. My pelvis hurts in the front. Like it's tight. I need to start a stretching routine. I was planning on taking a shower today, but it's so cold. It is 40 degrees outside, and my hand was freezing from holding the flashlight. Glad to be back inside.
I am thawing out the shrimp I bought to be able to cook it soon. The social worker is coming on Thursday afternoon to check the house out. I gotta make some progress. I've been so lazy. It's part of my major depression and seasonal affective disorder. I just want to spend all day in bed. It doesn't help that I am always feeling pain in my body.
Caleb has got to help me when he comes home. I already let him know, so there's no surprise. I'm tired even now. It's 0706 now. I got Caleb on the bus and now trying to figure out how to maximize my day. I need to get the hallway pet vac'd and steam cleaned.
I'm going to chat with Nana. Talking with her always helps me. I miss my dad. We always laughed.
I want to work on my books. I am going to try to self-publish some of my writing. I probably can't do it this week though.
Hape' has been helping me. I hate that it is expensive. I am so much more grounded when I use hape'.
I have to remember to take my kratomade in the mornings to get rid of my pain.
The problem with having so much work to do right now is that I have to work through my pain to get it done. I finally submitted my VA claim. Only God knows how long it will take to get a decision. I know they are always behind and trying to catch up. I wish they would hire more workers to be more efficient.
It looks like the sun is coming out today. I can be glad for that. It really didn't show much yesterday.
I reached out to Lella Stevens, one of my battle buddies from Korea. We caught up a little bit. It was nice. I am still in contact with Christinia Ellis. She was the one who made sure I made it to the hospital to give birth to Caleb. Lella brought me clothes to wear to wear while I was at the hospital. I reached out to Tyler Dreisow too. He was a friend of mine who would come over and share dinner with me. We would have steaks on Friday nights. I invited them all to the website, "Together We Served."
I didn't get much accomplished over the weekend like I wanted to. I just couldn't get moving. I was trying to direct Caleb on what to do. It seemed like a complete waste. I did get hard boiled eggs made. I did at some point cook the pork bone-in picnic roast. I did get some dishes washed and others loaded into the dishwasher. I did try to keep on Caleb about getting the laundry done. I did try to make sure all the trash and recycling went out on Sunday to be picked up on Monday. I just want to go to bed.
I have the appointment with the social worker on Thursday afternoon. That means I need to prepare for inspection. I have a phone call appointment with Dr. Kent on Friday afternoon. That means I need to update my biomarkers spreadsheet. Carla is coming over at 1300 today. I just want to make the most of the time and energy I have.
I wish I could afford to advertise my business. I wish I could market it better. One thing at a time. I've got alot on my plate.
I feel like I am ready to get started on something.
Thank you for reading, and have a blessed day!
