Of Saturday

                                                          It has been a good day w/ no upsets. Iand taking  read a lot of my course material. The author discussed the ways in which to assist or complete a patient’s activities of daily living, collecting specimens and taking vital signs. I do not have very far to go before I complete the second assignment for module 5 of my course. I will then write the exam. After that it will be onto the final assignment of my healthcare aide course.

                               It has not been easy to get ahold of Bear. Anymore, he sleeps during the daytime hours. I have tried messaging him and calling him, but most of the time he is unavailable, or too tired to talk. Several times, he has fallen asleep during our phone conversations, or while messaging each other. There must be a reason why he is up all night, but I have not figured out what it is. I guess I am a “night owl” widow. I might have to explore other venues, if this continues. I have always been faithful to Bear, but if he has come upon some type of “distraction” then perhaps it is time to say bye bye.

                                 I went outside numerous times today. Sometimes there were other tenants out there. Sometimes there was no one. I just got back about fifteen minutes ago, after being outside. “The Bobbsy Twins” were out there, (they are best buds and always make you feel like a third wheel), so I opted to go down to the gazebo for a smoke, as opposed to smoking up on the upper benches. Had I gone over where they were, I would have left with a bad taste in my mouth. Better safe than sorry.
