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….
A blank mind
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…
Happy Middle of the Week!
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…
Long day
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…
Busy Monday
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…
Gotta pack!
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…
Productively anxious
My mind feels akin to an internet browser with 17 tabs open, three of which are frozen, and I have no idea where the music is coming from. There’s so much on my agenda this morning. I’m currently awaiting my medication management appointment at 11 a.m. After that, I need to call my mom to…
Appointment fail
When Karissa had her cardiology appointment in March, it was unfortunately canceled because the doctor wasn’t available. I rescheduled it for today, and we made the drive down to the city, which takes just over half an hour, only to discover that they scheduled her for a day when the doctor was not in! It…
Rainy Monday
We experienced a significant hailstorm last night, and it was incredibly loud—particularly when the hail struck the skylights. From what I’ve read in a Facebook group I’m part of, some skylights have been damaged. Thankfully, ours remained intact. However, the storm’s intensity made it sound as though they were breaking. I was also concerned about…
No cavities!
This morning, I focused on completing various errands over the phone and assisting Karissa with her university preparations. I’m a bit worried about her medical insurance—she has Medicare due to her disability, but I don’t believe it covers dental care. She has a dentist appointment later today, and I called the office to confirm that…
