The past couple of days have been a little chaotic, but interesting. Very eventful to say the least. On Monday Lily spent the day at her grandma's house with her dad since she did not have to go to school. I went to work as usual. John picked me up from work because I was having severe stomach pains. He dropped me off at home just in time to give Lily dinner and a bath after Brisa picked her up. Once she was asleep, I went back out to see John. I tagged along to a car repair he needed to do on the other side of town. Where one of the guys that were hanging out nearby decided to hit on me. It was kind of weird for me. I guess because he was so direct about his approach. When John finished up for the night, he took me back home.

Yesterday was Lily's first day of school back at BGE. Our morning went smooth, but not so well after I dropped her off. It was my day off, but I had several appointments to attend. I was still having severe stomach pains since Friday, so I went to the doctor to get it checked out. They couldn't see me in the morning, so the nurses went to lunch, and I got an appointment for the afternoon. John picked me up and took me home. I got my stuff for the rest of the day and started walking over to my therapy clinic. I saw John on the way, and he decided to take me instead. I saw my nurse practitioner for my Depakote refills. He said I was looking much, much better and brighter than the last time I saw him, which was a month ago. He was very happy about the results of me decided to go on medication and to hear how well things are going for me. Then I saw my therapist right after and ended the session early to get to my doctor appointment on time. John picked me up and took me. I saw the doctor, who diagnosed me with food poisoning. It had to have been pretty bad to last so long. She recommended more fluids and prescribed meds for the symptoms. John picked me up from the doctor's office and we went back to the same place we were last night because there were some additional repairs needed. John was frustrated that the customer did not pay him though. He felt he needed to wait until he was done with everything. We stopped by his mom's house nearby and were hoping to have some enchiladas that John was going to make, but we were crunched for time and didn't get an opportunity to. So I went back home to give Lily her dinner and bath before putting her to bed. Unfortunately, she and her aunt didn't get along very well, so I made arrangements for her dad to pick her up from school today instead of anyone from my family to prevent Lily from feeling as bad as she did yesterday. It just sucks that most of the time I am unable to pick up Lily from school. I thought my family would be more supportive, but they are proving to be undependable. I didn't want to have to, but now I must rely on her dad for support with Lily. At least until I find a suitable babysitter. I went to sleep next to Lily because she felt a little scared. I woke up a little later when John called to say good night.

Yesterday was hectic because of the time scheduling of everything between Lily and I. Her school calling me because her stomach was hurting gave me a bit of anxiety because there just was not much I could do about it at the time. I was stuck. So I talked to Lily on the phone and told her that if she didn't want to go to the doctor's office, she had to stay in school. She decided to remain in school and was able to get through her day. I decided that because of the craziness of yesterday, I'm going to set some more boundaries and rules about my time and attention availability for anyone or anything besides Lily and work. I can't be stressing out. Especially now. I shared with my therapist how I am learning what it means to have healthy relationships and how to maintain them. It has made me aware of how many unhealthy relationships I have had and needed to end. I am still working on it. Things are looking better for me though. I am looking forward to getting healthier and happier.
