I’m halfway through packing. To help me finish, I’m using the packing list I created for the July cruise, although I plan to condense the clothing selections a bit. I’m feeling a bit anxious about tomorrow. I haven’t seen my mom in 12 years, and it’s bound to be strange and awkward. However, I believe…

I can’t believe I’m heading to California in just two days, and my anxiety is already heightened. I know I can handle this. Today, I’ll be bringing out the suitcases to distribute among the girls and myself to start packing. Should I pack for Tommy as well? There’s so much laundry to get done today,…

It’s almost Friday! After Tommy left for work this morning, I went back to sleep. I woke up at 5 AM but only got about five and a half hours of sleep. I finally got up at 10, showered, and got ready for the day. I need to find Tommy’s glasses case, which should be…

I found myself needing to rewrite my post from yesterday since I didn’t finish or post it. Let me share what I did yesterday. I had quite a bit of trouble typing in the morning because Sandy kept jumping in front of my keyboard. Every time I tried to push her off my desk, she…

Today is the only day this week with cold weather, reaching a high of just 56 degrees. It’s also quite windy. For the rest of the week, temperatures will rise into the 80s. The living room feels dark; I suspect the clouds have covered the sky, and there’s a smell of rain in the air….

I often find it challenging to begin my journal entries. I sometimes wonder, “What do I have to talk about?” and my mind goes blank. A blank page can be quite intimidating. This morning, I made a cup of coffee right after waking up at 5:15 am, a routine I follow every day except on…

Alexis just French braided my hair, and it feels refreshing to have it styled differently instead of my usual ponytail. I’m at a loss for what to write about today, but I’m feeling better overall. The itchy sensations have subsided since I resumed my medication, allowing me to focus more now that I’m free from…

We’re having carnitas for dinner tonight. This morning, I went to Walmart to buy ham hocks for the beans, which I started when I got home. I might pick up some cilantro later as well. I need to return to Walmart when Kel gets home to pick up my medication since the pharmacy wasn’t open…

I went back to sleep this morning and woke up around 10 a.m. After only getting about four hours of rest the previous night, I struggled with heartburn for most of the night and ended up sleeping in a seated position. I had been snacking yesterday and had dinner quite late, which likely contributed to…

I need to pack today for our trip on Saturday since I won’t have time tomorrow. Tommy and I will be leaving tomorrow evening so we can make it for the honors breakfast, and it makes more sense to be in town rather than leaving early on Saturday. Tomorrow, Karissa and I will be heading…
