Monday morning

     It is now 0013 on Monday morning. Caleb starts school today. I cannot sleep due to being too warm. I had to get up to cool off and get something to drink. I have been up since 2330. I was clearing out junk emails from my business email account. Then I went to my dad's memorial website and viewed all the photos I posted. I wish Mathew would have posted some photos. Nobody else posted photos. I had good times with my dad when Caleb was younger. We took him to the pool, the aquarium, the battleship, the beach, and the park just to name a few places. I wanted to give Caleb experiences he would remember. I wonder if he remembers them though. One day I will ask him.

    We are supposed to wake up at 0500 today. Caleb's bus is supposed to be here at 0624. We are supposed to go out to the bus stop at 0614. We have to get up so early because we are both slow to wake up. I have to get Caleb's medications ready for him, and I have to take my own medications and supplements. Today will be a little bit different from what will be a normal school day because I am taking Nana to have her labs taken around 0700. Normally I wouldn't be going out so soon after Caleb gets on the bus. Bella has her vet appointment at 1000. I should be hearing from  our therapist. Normally she would come over at 1300, but since Caleb starts school, she will have to come when he is home. 

    Caleb and I spent the whole afternoon cleaning yesterday. He unloaded the dishwasher and the dish strainer for me. I washed dishes and began loading the dishwasher. I cleaned the stovetop and stove front off. I began cooking a rack of ribs and marinading a London broil. Caleb made a path so the wheelchair could get out of the house. I cleaned and organized my workspace by throwing away old receipts and putting away supplements I am not currently using. I put a trash bag together for Caleb to take out. Caleb took out the trash from Nana's bathroom and the kitchen. He took my trash from my workspace out too. Caleb went to clean out the Mazda of trash. I don't know how deeply he went through the Mazda to clean it out though. I asked him to pile the junk in the backyard so Jonathan could mow the grass for us. He was stopped by a snake that struck at him, but did not bite him. It almost bit him. It scared him into feeling like he was having a heart attack. I cooked sweet potatoes to have with dinner. I began to sweep the kitchen floor and move the cart around to get underneath it. I got alot of trash up and sprayed to kill bugs and put up a bug-free border that is supposed to last 12 months. I don't know how true that is, but I certainly hope so. Caleb was also working on his room at times. I did not see him bring out any trash bags, so I don't know that he was actually cleaning anything while in his room. 

    It was a productive day overall. I was feeling better because I did my hape' and had 2 pre-workout drinks in addition to my medications and supplements in the morning. Caleb woke me up at 0800 telling me he needed his medications. I wasn't ready to get out of bed. I was still tired. I got up though. I was slow moving all morning. 

    I have to remember to tell Caleb to bring the trash bins out to the road when he gets up. 

    I did not get the whole kitchen floor cleaned. I only got the part that is around the cart and in front of the stove. I still have to get under the sink and in front of the refrigerator. Caleb did not pick up all the trash off the living room floor. There is still some left that needs to be picked up and taken out. 

    It was during the morning that I was going through my papers on my workspace. I went through the papers we got from the open house at Caleb's school. He put his schedule and map away along with the syllabi we got. We did not make it to all of his teachers because he was complaining from having to stand so long, and we ended up leaving. His backpack is packed. I told him the rule about not using his phone during school hours, and he understood. He is really excited to get to wear the JROTC uniforms. He wants to know everything in advance. He doesn't want to wait to learn! LOL Like, that is why there is a class! LOL

    I'm getting tired again. I hope today goes well with all that is going on. I will likely crash out after taking Bella to the vet and coming home. I will just take a long nap until Caleb comes home. I think I'm ready to go back to bed now. I have to get back up in a few hours. I better get my sleep while I can.

    Thank you for reading! Keep us in your prayers! Have a blessed day! Much love!
