2:30 PM
I will be doing something different for a couple of days to see if I like this. I expect my boyfriend, KB, and his Mom, TB, to visit today. They come every other Saturday after church. JM texted me half an hour ago that she would be running late. TB and KB are on their way. When the company comes, I will stop journaling and come back after everyone leaves.
2:33 PM
JM texted me that she had just clocked out at work and would be over shortly. That’s great because I have to go to the bathroom. Because I am working on walking again and can transfer from bed to recliner, and power chair, I have started using the commode since getting to my bathroom is challenging.
2:38 PM
JM has arrived. I have to go for now,
6:57 PM
With a few games of Skip-Bo played, I am back to journaling again.
Now there is something I want to say that I find very important. I am a Sabbath keeper. I do have to admit that I have been neglecting my Sabbaths for a while — over a year since I got ill with Covid. Being away from home for several weeks and bedridden for eight months has brought a lot of emotions and questions about my future. I have dealt with anxiety and feeling I have lost my voice to what I say goes. Today is the first Saturday of Saturdays I have taken to a quiet time before company comes. It felt good. It feels good having a regular weekend now, too.
Time to Get Used to Saturdays and Sundays
With dialysis treatment moved to Mon, Wed, and Fri, it is now time to get used to the weekend being Saturday and Sunday. I will always have the company come on Saturdays. My boyfriend KB will be here every other Saturday unless his Dad enters the area. I can now get dressed for the day and get out of bed for a while now that walking a short distance can be done. I will not leave the bed without someone here to help me wear my brace. I cannot walk without it. I can now attend church online or via Zoom. I did not do it today. I have been watching TV movies or shows on Hallmark Movies or Peacock TV on my Roku. Because of Sabbath, I watch decent shows on Saturdays. Starting next week, I will be attending church via Zoom. I need to get back to going to church. While at dialysis Saturday morning, it was hard listening to the sermon or Sabbath School lesson. Now I can turn my TV off and pull up my phone or iPad to get to the church via Zoom. I am going back to church next week. Woo hoo!
7:31 PM
I will be back in a few minutes.
8:03 PM
I wanted to put my iPad on its charger because it was down to 24%. I use my phone and iPad to write in my journal. I wanted to make that switch. It turned out that I got sidetracked and played a few bingo rounds before returning to my diary.
It Is Time to Say Good Night
From now on, I will get off my electronics at a decent hour to get ready to rest for the night. I am awake late at night and have been unable to sleep well. I need to wind down and get to sleep at a decent hour. If I still wake up at 5 or 6 AM, I can still be free of electronics for a couple of hours. So, I will say good night now and come back tomorrow sometime before DH gets here and gets me ready for the day.
8:17 PM
Tine to say good night and God bless.
