3/1/22

6:33am I had another sleepless night. I’m so tired now and could fall asleep in my wheelchair but when in bed I couldn’t sleep to save my soul. Then again I don’t know if I was awake or not but I had dream about my former mother in law. I could see her nasty self as plain as day. In this dream, or whatever it was, she was upset and I was trying to comfort her by rubbing her feet. That would have never of happened in real life.

I feel like hell but at least I’m above the dirt. I had a nice aiee don’td last night and this morning. She changed my poopy briefs without comment and was very friendly. She let me got me out of bed by six. It is going on seven now and I won’t have long to wait for breakfast and coffee.

1:05am I feel better now. Breakfast consisted of hot cereal with biscuits and gravy. I had a much needed cup of warm coffee. I still felt very tired and breakfast gave me diahreà. I slept in my wheelchair most of the morning. I had a good lunch of fish, scalloped potatoes, peas and a dinner roll. They were out of coffee. But lunch finally perked me up.

Well this is the first of the month. Two more days until I get my SS check. I have not been worrying about the coming hassle with the credit card. I just got to go through the process and get the job done. I’m actually looking forward to paying my rent then getting that tablet. Of course I plan on buying more books.

6:24pm I took a turn for the worse. I had bouts of diahreà with arthritis pain. I felt sick at my stomach. I also had some bad arthritis pain. I was beyond exhausted. I slept in my wheelchair most of the afternoon. This was a miserable day.

Supper cheered me up some . I had a hamburger with fries and vegetable soup. I had a chocolate covered brownie for desert. This time I had hot coffee and fruit punch for drinks.

I’ve been in the wheelchair for twelve hrs. I would like to go to bed now. Despite sleeping all day I still feel tired. Sleeping in wheelchairs does not replace a nice big bed. J could sleep another twelve hrs in a bed but it is not going to happen. I have a feeling they will keep me up until past eleven like they did last night.

I didn’t talk with Chocolatechip too much today. We chatted on messenger around four. I was so very tired I fell asleep during our chat. I called her after supper but no answer. She had a very long day. I figured she went to bed early. Wish I could go to bed whenever I feel like it.

I hope I get some rest tonight I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

7:50pm I’ve been going over my budget and looking at books I decided to buy one more book by Paul Johnson. This is Intellectuals: From Marx and Tolstoy to Sarte and Chomsky for $10.99 Also my final amount was way off. After all my expenses I should have $3.32 left. I think I can live with that. I cannot live without plenty of books.

I finally got changed. The aid went about her business without comment. I had a couple more diahreà incidents since then. I told the nurse about it a couple of times. I need some kind of med for diahreà but they are not giving me anything. In the mean time I’m a pretty miserable old fart.

This is it for today. Going to plug in the tablet and try to go to bed. I’ve had it.
