I've started walking with my neighbor. It is nice to chat and get a cup of tea while we walk. 

I had my sleep study meeting and they said I don't seem to have sleep apnea or any other medical situation other than insomnia. I have a list of things to do to try and correct it. 

Until tomorrow...

Still trying to catch up from my crazy holiday selling chocolates. 

Lots of medical stuff. I had a heart echo and a visit to my ear, nose, throat doctor to check my ears. I had acupuncture and therapy. 

Sunday we got up and got ready to go for a hike. I got dressed we started eating breakfast when all of a sudden I couldn't move. I don't know what I did to my back but suddenly I couldn't bend over and I couldn't walk upstairs. I took some Advil and lay down for a little bit. I thought oh it'll be fine in a little bit. It was not. After an hour or so, I decided to take a hot bath. It felt better after the bath but within 30 minutes it was hurting again. I got a heating pad and laid on it for the majority of the rest of the day. I had to wait around for my groceries to be delivered. Yes I did get some junk food because I feel junk food makes you feel better when you're laying on your back in pain. I watched lots of TV and just hung out. I'm hoping it will feel better tomorrow. 

I also had a meeting with my small business consultant. She is helping me sort this stuff out. There is so much to figure out starting a food business. 

Now I am gearing up for Valentine's Day. 

Until tomorrow...

I finally did it. I finally applied for disability. All my doctors have been saying go out on disability but I felt like I needed to finish out 2024 and get my clients organized. I finally filled out the paperwork so I should be hearing back soon. Fingers crossed. 

Until tomorrow...

To celebrate the holidays I took my friend's kid out to lunch. We had a good time catching up. 

I am not working this week so I've been trying to clean up after all of the Christmas candy and my trips. I have to get this house organized. 

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were uneventful. The dog and I did go for a hike on New Year's Day. But New Year's Eve we were in bed by 10:00. 

Until tomorrow...

Last night I sold 17 boxes. Even went great. But now I have to start gearing up for Christmas. I need to sell a lot at Christmas. 

My Christmas Eve I delivered my last boxes and then I got in the car and drove down to my godmother's house where I spent Christmas. It was nice and she invited another orphan person to Christmas dinner with us. It was a very small little dinner but they had theirs and I bought my own dinner. Honestly it was not very good and I could have made something so much better. Altogether I sold about 40 boxes for Christmas. 

I drove back home on the 26th. On the 28th I went to see Peter Pan Panto. If I don't know what a panto is it's a way of putting on a play that sort of turns the play on its side and makes it funny. I quite enjoyed it and can't wait till next Christmas to see what play they put on then. 

Until tomorrow.

One word: chocolate. I am spending every waking moment making chocolates for a vegan event. It's my first chance to sell boxes of chocolate. 

Until tomorrow...

Today started with me attending court for my ex-foster kid. I needed to speak to the judge and make it clear my ex-foster kid is struggling. I think the judge heard my concern. 

Then another trip to the post office to send more boxes. 

Today I finished off 42 chocolates and started 66 chocolates. Making chocolates is a 4 step process. 1. Put the chocolate in the mold, let it set

2. Add the filling, let it set

3. Add the bottom, let it set

4. Decorate the chocolates

I usually have multiple mold trays going at once in different stages of this process. 

I made three sales today. I sold 7 boxes. Very exciting. 

Until tomorrow...

I spent the whole day getting ready for my trip. I have to get the automatic plant waterer to work, make sure the bucket is in place to catch my mail, pick up prescriptions, all sorts of last minute things to do. 

Until tomorrow...
