Well, Monday started at 0430 with a power surge causing the breaker to need to be reset. That did not solve the problems with the outlets. I got Caleb up at 0500. It was his first day of high school. We made it to the bust stop early. He has the same bus number and driver as last year. I like him!
I got back inside rushing to the bathroom from having to hold it while waiting for Caleb's bus. I made it in time. Nana and I left to take her to get her labs done right after that. I drove to the wrong clinic, but we got the address to the right clinic. We made it in and out pretty quickly. I was happy about that. I got Nana back home and to her room. We were able to get the wheelchair in and out of the house as we needed to.
I had to take Bella to the vet for her appointment next. I was trying to find a harness but was running out of time. I found a harness, but it was a weird one that I did not know how to use properly, so I made it up. Bella and I got there early, and I remembered to take her outside to relieve herself before going into the vet's office. It was a good thing too. She really had to go! Thank God I didn't have to pick that up. Bella's vet appointment went well. I could not afford to do everything I wanted to do for her, so we took a couple things off the list so I could do as much as I could afford. We went home after she had her exam and shots done. I took her outside again because she was starting to have an accident in the vet's office. She really had to go again! Man! I felt bad she was holding so much poop inside.
We got home and I needed to rest. Jonathan was coming over during his lunch break to take care of our lawn. I had a quick lunch and went to lie down in bed.
Caleb called me from school at 1300. He wanted me to pick him up because his back was hurting. I told him "It's the first day of school! You need to stay there the whole day!" I did not go to pick him up. He told me he was crying at the nurse's office because it hurt so bad. He then told me he fell off his skateboard a few days ago and hurt himself.
At 1400, I had an appointment with our family therapist virtually. I think Katelyn forgot Caleb started school that day.
Caleb got home around 1615. I didn't feel like I could cook dinner because I was so exhausted and in pain. That was just too much for one day.
Caleb was happy about JROTC and told me as soon as he got on the bus to come home that he would be getting his uniform on Tuesday.
Caleb came home and was able to reconfigure the way our electronics were set up to get them powered up again. I waws without my CPAP, portable air conditioner, and bidet all day. Nana was without her bidet and the ability to charge her phone. I tried resetting each breaker to see if that made a difference. It didn't. I tried flipping the main breaker to see if that made a difference, and it didn't. I could not remember how we solved the problem the last time we had to deal with it. After Caleb got my portable a/c working, I was so relieved. It was getting too warm in there without it running. Then when I saw what he did, I remembered that the electrician had us change out the old surge protector power strips the last time to see if that made a difference. It did when Caleb did it. Those surge protector power strips have a lifetime of 1 power surge before needing to be replaced. The last time, it didn't help, and we still needed the electrician to test the outlets. I think he ended up replacing an outlet. I don't have money now, so I am glad I did not have to call an electrician to get this fixed. I can't sleep without my a/c on and CPAP on.
Yesterday was Tuesday. I got Caleb to the bus stop early again and he caught the bus with no problems. I walked home afterwards, and tried to see if hape' and a Medterra Focus CBD gummy would help me with my whole body pain so that I might be able to work. I was not able to work at all, all day. I needed rest badly.
After Caleb came home, Mallory arrived. I'm glad that appointment is over for the week. I did not feel like talking to anyone because I was still exhausted. When we were done talking, I ended up going out to Lowe's Foods to grab a rotisserie chicken for dinner. I splurged and got Nana and me salads from the salad bar. I'm really loving their freshly made sourdough bread from the bakery, so I stocked up on that too. I then came home and delivered Nana her dinner. I had to run back out to Food Lion to get some other things we needed. It was so hot outside, and my Mazda a/c is not currently working. I have no money to get it fixed either. I was sweating up a storm. I came home after all that and had my dinner though. It was very satisfying, and I was glad I did not have to cook. All thanks to Nana being able to write me a check so I had money in my account. I woke up that morning to find my balance was negative. I had $85 when I went to bed, and I knew I had written Jonathan a check for mowing the grass. Yesterday morning I woke up with - $35 in my checking account. What happened? Well, apparently I made a charge that was taken out on a hold, then released back to my account, and then the charge cleared. So I thought I had more money than I actually did. Ugh! Thank Heavens for Nana saving me!
Caleb tried on his JROTC dress uniform when he came home. The pants were too tight, but everything else fit him. I was trying to get him to take a shower, but he never did. He fell asleep multiple times because he was tired, and I kept waking him up to go shower. He woke up, but never made it to taking a shower. I'm going to tell him as soon as he comes home today to take a shower. Oops! I forgot the Katelyn will be here when he gets home today. We have an appointment with her.
Later on tonight we are going to meet the Resource Officer at the American Legion close to home. I am hoping he can direct me to how I can get my plumbing, electrical, and car fixed since I don't have any money.
I still haven't received my debit card from my bank yet. I don't know how I will be able to pay my bills without one. I hope it gets here sooner than later.
I'm kinda tired this morning. I have alot of house work that needs to be done. I don't really feel like working. I just want to rest in bed.
I am trying to figure out what I can get done without causing myself to have another fibromyalgia flare up like I did yesterday. I bought ground beef on sale yesterday with the thought that I would make hamburgers tonight, but I completely forgot about Katelyn coming at 1600 and having to show up at the American Legion at 1830. So, if I want to make the burgers to have for dinner, I have to make them before Caleb gets home.
I'm feeling a little better since blogging. I feel like I need to go check in with Nana and get my Nana time. I know I've been wanting to take a shower, so that's on my list of things I must do today. I have to let the dogs outside and make sure they have water. I guess I will start with those things and see how I feel afterwards.
Thanks for reading! Keep us in your prayers! Have a blessed day! Much love!
