Monday 3/28/22
6:01am I’m feeling somewhat better this morning. I got some sleep last night. aI D’s put me to bed very early, around eight. I got the he!p when needed. Aids were very nice this morning. I’m still very tired. I wish I could have a cup of coffee right now it I will have to wait for breakfast.
7:37am I just had French toast and hot cereal for breakfast. The coffee was nice and hot. I also had oj and chocolate milk. Also talked with Chocolatechip. She had a halfway decent night. I think it she said someone knocked on her door once but she ignored it. We talked about inspection. It begins at nine. Chocolatechip is ready for it. I said I knew you could do it. She said be glad you don’t have to worry about inspection. All you have to do is sit on your butt and read. I said I couldn’t pass inspection. In a way I’m glad to be hear.
We also talked about a very sore subject, marriage. It was my biggest regreat in life that I never married Chocolatechip.. At one point she wanted to move oUt of OT and back to Steubenvillec. She had a nurse’s license from Oh and could of gotten a job She said she would have taken c are of me in my old age but I did not want to leave OT.
I didn’t want to do this because I was afraid we couldn’t make it. We both lived on SSI at they time. Had we gotten married they would of taken out too much money. At one point we were both gun ho about marriage then we found out how much money we would have to live on. Chocolatechip would of been left with $200 a month. This killed our dreams of marriage.
We talked about this for awhile. Then we had to go She wanted to do a few more chores before inspection. We said our goodbyes. I sat in my chair kicking myself in the butt for not getting married to her. I think that is one sore partt in or relationship. I see that staying at OtT was not good for both of us. Should of moved there when we were physically able to move.
I just got changed. I had a !ot of accidents this morning. It took them awhile to assist me. But they changed me and put me in a clean gown. I was feeling miserable for awhile but I’m ok now. Aid who helped me was nice and didn’t give me a hard time about not using a urinal. Life is good.
1:21pm I just had a pretty good lunch. I had two cups of hot coffee and a glass of fruit punch. I was tired and slept a good bit this morning. But now I finally feel awake. I talked with Chocolatechip this morning. She was a bit pissed. Maintenance was over at the projects inspecting. She heard from someone that they were only going to do twelve apartments. She also said she had been up since three this morning getting ready. She had an appointment at Tri State Medical Supply at 1:30. I said you don’t have to be there.
I’m having a halfway decent day. I am getting fairly good care. I’m not having arthritis or stomach pain. I had two good meals. Am doing a lot better today than yesterday.
6:55pm I couldn’t eat supper. I had ham and pinto beans. Usually this goes down good but I couldn’t tolerate it tonight. I was experiencing stomach pain for awhile and I think eating made it worse. The pain has subsided and I am feeling better.
I chatted with Chocolatechip. She said Ed and the HUD inspector were in her apartment when she got back. She said they went over everything but passed with flying colors. Chocolatechip talked with one of her neighbors. He said the never checked his place. This was a random inspection. She wondered why they always pick her apartment during random HUD inspections.i said they always know you do a good job and will pass.
But mostly I slept the away the afternoon. I was very, very tired and in pain. Pain started around lunch time. It was pretty bad and got worse at dinner. Pain was so bad I couldn’t eat supper. Like I said I’m ok now. But I’m wondering if there is something seriously wrong with my stomach. This is something new.
I haven’t done any reading in the last few days. I haven’t been sleeping or feeling well. I miss my book and want to get back to it. I did look at the front page of the NYT but didn’t read any of the articles. It was mostly depressing news about the war in Europe. I am just not in the mood for depressing news. I will say Putin is a madman and it wouldn’t surprise me if this is the start of WWIII. I do want to try and get back to my book on FDR. Perhaps I’ll pick it up tonight.
March is almost over. I am counting the days until I get my check Just three more days and I’ll get my SS check. Third falls on Sunday so it will come on the first That’s the good news. The bad news is that I will put all my money on my credit card Friday. I will have the same ole hassle but I won’t be able to straighten it out until Monday. This means I won’t be able to satisfy my book addiction untill then. Oh well, I have plenty of unread books.
Aids were just in. They asked me if I wanted to go to bed It is either too early or too late. I said I’d like to stay up until nine. I want to try and read for a while.
