Thursday 3/3/22

5:24am  I was in bed with a bad dose of diahreà yesterday. I was so sick and tired I just couldn’t get out of bed. I didn’t sleep for three days. Lack of sleep finally cought up. I slept most of the day.

I had a lot of forgettable weird dreams. Then again I had some nice sex dreams with some of the aids. These were very vivid and real . In this other dream I was a soldier before WWI. I was chasing Pancho Villa in Mexico with John Pershing. .Then in yet another dream I went on a date with this aid. We went to Eat and Park for dinner.

Despite the dreams I feel a bit rested. Nice Aid  helped me out of bed and put a clean gown on me. I was in my wheelchair by five. I still could use more sleep I won’t be fully awake until breakfast and coffee. But I’m above the dirt.

This is the third. I get my SS check today. I will make a payment to the credit card company of $825.00 I will have the usual hassle. They will put a ten day hold on the card. I will have to make a three way phone conversation with my bank and the credit card co to confirm my payment. Then I will pay my rent of $483 to the nursing home. I will do this tomorrow on the fourth.

It is good to be up and in my chair after being in bed all day. I feel ok for now.  I’m not experiencing pain or diahreà symptoms. My mood is upbeat .My only complaint is my mouth feels like it’s full of sand and I have no water. I will not be able to get water until breakfast. Other than that things are ok.

7:43am I managed to survive until breakfast. I had French toast, hot cereal and a banana. Coffee was barely warm but I drank it anyways. I called Chocolatechip after breakfast but no answer. I feel better after a good meal.

I’m kind of dreading the next couple of days. I keep thinking about the trouble I am going to have with the credit card company. I keep imagining the worse possible outcome. I will not be able to get it settled  and I won’t have access to my funds for ten days. Then I will be late with my rent. The nursing home will use this as an excuse to get control of my check.

I always think the worse will happen but it never does. All it takes is a phone call. But the phone call itself is a major hassle. I always get a foreign voice that I can’t hear or understand. I will ask to speak with a supervisor. I cannot hear him as well. This inability to communicate is the hassle. I hate outsourcing.

I will get her done one way or the other. It always works out in my favor. Still it is such a needless hassle. I guess I worry too much. Worrying was one of the problems that kept me up the last few nights. I just could not stop worrying about this shit.

9:39am I made my credit card payment. I called my bank first. I had $861.00 available. I used that to make a credit card payment. I’m pleased because this was a bit more than I thought I would have. This was the easy part. Ythe hassle will come tomorrow. Anyways I played adult to get it done.

I was browsing at books. I know it takes twenty-four hrs to process but I thought I’d try to buy a book anyways. I’ve been wanting to read A History of Christianity by Paul Johnson so I tried to buy it. Credit card declined the purchase. I will have to wait one more day. I should read more of the books last month. I just cannot help myself when it comes to books.

I talked with Chocolatechip. She is doing ok. Chocolatechip had a good night with nobody nocking on her door.She was able to get up and do the basics this morning. Also, Chocolatechip will have a telephone interview to sermons her to eligibility for that waver program. I hope she feels will get on it because she will have a lot more extensive care . With all of her problems I think she should get it.

She asked how I was doing. I said pretty good. In told her about the extra money I had in checking. I said I’m still planning on buying that tablet tomorrow. We both think that is a good idea.

Well that’s about it for now. I’m going to try and read my book.
