Once again waking up and have to fight with my cramping feet/calves. It was pretty bad this time. Left leg my foot was completely contorted up and I had to fight getting it to reflex. I had a banana around 7 last night, drank water, did all the things, even stretched my legs when I was out with Rocky. Something is going on with my system that's causing this. Like everything else happening to me. I'm fine the rest of the day with my legs, just trying to stretch them as much as possible.
Had to go to the store for some milk and bread. Coke was on sale but don't have the money for that anymore. I have enough to pay storage and that's it. Going to be asking for help again this month to cover bills. I had the $89 hospital bill and another $40 on top of that had to by cat litter and one or to other incidentals that can't come out of food money. Not even through the first week of the month and we're sunk for money. Geico is going to bounce on the 11th, SDGE is unknown but isn't due for another week, phone isn't due until the 20th, so we need... about $200 to cover things with a little bit of wiggle.
Between my physical issues and everything else, it's just getting to be an awful lot to handle and am getting depressed again about not having enough money to survive.
As for the rest of my day today, cooked up the chicken and the marinade is good, I added some other sauce on the rice and chicken so the flavor of the marinade didn't come through as much but it was tasty. Will have to try that with the just the thigh meat for tacos or something.
Got down to the garden and watered, accidentally skewered a small purple potato with my trowel while trying to move soil to get everything watered. That's a paring knife for size comparison incidentally. The raised bed is going to be potatoes this year, total of five plants have sprouted now so if I manage another tomato on the trellis that's it for the main planter this year.
With everything else going on I'm counting my garden lucky to have this much happening. Hopefully bountiful potatoes this summer and maybe tomatoes.
So yeah, gardening... that's my excitement lately in between doctor appointments and stuff. Heart is doing okay, doesn't look like my e-patch needs changing out. I was going to do it after my shower but just couldn't wrap my head around it, hands were shaking too much, didn't want to fuss with it. The tape is still tight so will check it again tonight maybe have Jon help. Or not.
Today is an off day but then I've had a run of three or four good days so energy runs it's course. I'm walking steadier at least, I think I just wore myself out doing the gardening. But need to get more active and build up my strength...catch 22.
It's the money thing that has me worried all the time now. As usual.
