Yesterday

     Yesterday was exhausting. I took Caleb to school because he had his IEP appointment that we both had to attend. The meeting went well. I then went searching for Cherry Skoal pouches. I couldn't find them anywhere on the way home. I came home and applied for food stamps again. I have a feeling they will deny me again, but I felt called to apply just in case. My mortgage has gone up by more than $300 a month because of the escrow payments needed to pay the insurance and the taxes. I need help from somewhere. Then I drove to Wilmington and had my appointment with my primary care provider. That appointment went well too. I ended up drifting to sleep while I waited for the nurse to give me a Covid shot. By the time I was done there, I felt like going home. I did not have enough time before closing to do the labs or go to the pharmacy like I wanted. I am going to go back on Monday to deliver my saliva labs. Then I will do my other labs while I am there and stop by the pharmacy. I came home so tired that I could not even heat my dinner up. I ate only a slice of keto bread to take my night medications. I went to bed as early as I could. I totally used delta-8 to try to relieve the pain in my back and pelvis and sleep through the night. I woke up wanting to eat something and found pistachios to eat. I ended up waking every couple of hours last night and snacking on them. 

    TGIF!

    I am so glad this week is over. I just want to rest and recover from yesterday. I got Caleb on the bus this morning. I don't have appointments today. Well, I am supposed to meet Lisa at the Lowe's Foods and we are going to have lunch and go to the beach. That's only if I feel up to it. We have been trying to meet on her days off for a long time now. We never make it. I always look for her when I shop at Lowe's Foods because she works in the meat department. 

    It looks like the sun is coming out this morning. The birds are chirping. I still haven't finished my morning routines. I still have to freshen up.

    Christinia got the Volvo back from the auto shop. I am happy about that. It got fixed. It was the fule pump relay that needed to be replaced. I'm glad she had help paying for the work done  because I don't have any savings. 

    I don't know how things are going to go this month. I am broke but I was able to pay the bills. I have no money for gas or groceries for another 2 weeks. I wish I could get my business running to where I have a consistent income. Nana is going to do 2 Reiki appointments with me next week and write reviews that I need to complete my heal.me profile. 

    I am waiting to hear about what is going on with the child support case I filed. I haven't gotten any news lately. Jamie McCurry owes me 15 years worth of child support so far. I don't know why it is so hard for Arkansas to get him to take the paternity test. I'm struggling over here trying to raise a child on my disability payments. 

    I reviewed my personal statement for my VA claim. I am adding more information. I want to submit it as soon as I can. I want Nana to help me so that I don't leave anything out. I don't want to forget anything. This case is so important.

    I am going to call up the organization that is helping Christinia these days to see if they can help me too. 

    I still gotta get the Mazda inspected and renew the registration on it. I finally got my driver's license in the mail. I am waiting on my Hatch heating/massage/light therapy belt to be shipped. 

    I don't know. I have to find a way to get more income. I can't hold a job. I am disabled to the point of not being able to work. I thought I could provide Reiki if the schedule allowed me to blend with all my appointments. The way I have it set up is that my personal calendar determines which appointments are available. That way I am not double booked. I still need to get up with Dawn because I owe her an appointment for a review. 

    Caleb and I are going to house cleaning this weekend. I can't manage to clean by myself. I have been going out almost every day this week. I had to do grocery shopping for several days. We had appointments too. I just haven't been home long enough to make progress. I have been so tired too. It has been a struggle all week. I need to get the laundry going again. I need to clean the kitchen too. Those are things that I can do today. We have leftovers so I am not worried about cooking dinner tonight. I need Caleb to clean his room. I need Caleb's help to vacuum the hallway and living room and then steam clean the carpet. I don't know why it is such a struggle to just get it done already. 

    It was my Granny's birthday the other day. I gave her a happy birthday call. It was good to talk with Granny and Pepere. It has been a long time since I last spoke with them. They are recovering from having Covid over Christmas. Granny turned 84 this year.

    I've got so much work to do. I just can't seem to get started. I need to finish my morning routines. That sets the tone for the whole day. I feel better after I do them. I am using hape' this morning. Gives me a boost. 

    I guess I better go get started.

    Thank you for reading, and have a blessed day.
