Thursday 9/29/22

1:36m So far this has been one screwed up day. I went to bed early last night. But I had a bad one thanks to one nightmare after another. I also had bad arthritis pain in my knees. So, I didn’t tsleep very well if at all. I was glad when the aide came in at 5 to get me in my wheelchair.

I was still very tired and in a lot of pain. I fell asleep after they put me in my chair. I slept until. Breakfast.  I had pancakes, scrambled eggs and oatmeal. I had one cup of warm coffee. I fell asleep again and slept until Darla from physical therapy came.

I did all my exercises today. We went through the usual routine. It only took me ten minutes to do the leg exercises. This time I did three sets of fifteen reps. Then I worked on the exercise bike for fifteen minutes. In all I had a 25 minute workout. I was proud of myself.

They pushed me back to my room. I was tired and sore. I fell asleep again. I slept for a couple hours. I called Chocolatechip.She gave me a number to get a free government phone for the hearing impaired. I said I will take it to Guthrie social worker. So I go up there and give her the number. She said she will talk to them.

I had lunch. They served bbq chicken, scalloped potatoes and spinach. I had a blueberry bar for desert. I ate erything but the spinach.  

6:37pm I slept most of the afternoon away. Despite that I had a very bad time of it because of nightmares. I woke up screaming a few times. I tried to stay awake but soon went back to sleep only to be awakened by more bad dreams. So I did not have a very good day.

Evev supper left a lit to be desired. I had a roast beef sandwich with cheese and a cup of vegetable soup. It was kind of skimpy  so I must not be on double portions. Supper kind of sucked. 

Thursday kind of sucked. I got into it a lwith Chocolatechip. She was very irate with me because I failed to answer the phone. Fortunately , were said worked out our misunderstanding.  But I hate getting into an argument with her. This only made my day worse.

Tomorrow will be a better day. I will be getting an SSI check of $112.00 I will make a credit card payment and be able to buy some books. I plan on getting four of them without the audible narration. Then I will be broke but I will have new books to read.

I am awake now. I plan on spending the evening reading. I’m almost halfway through The Republic for Which it Stands. I am making good progress but I think it will take me at least another week to finish it. Then, I think I will turn to fiction for awhile.

9:57pm I reread Chapter 12″Liberal Orthoxy and Radical Opinion. ” I enjoyed this chapter so I thought I’d give e it a second shot. I had read. and listened to my book for three hours. I defused from another bad day byh reading. Now I feel relaxed.

I also worked out a final budget for tomorrow: 

SSI                                                                                   $112.00 

• New York Times.                                        $19.99
• Kindle Unlimited.                                      $  9.99
• Audible.                                                         $15.99. 45.97 

                                                                                              66.03

• John Grisham  Boys from Biloxi.      $14.99

                                                                                             $4.57

hTis leaves me with just enough money to pay for Open Diary. 

I’ve been up since 5:00 sitting in my wheelchair for awhile over 17 ht’s. I’m not tired though. I’m wound up thinking about tomorrow. I’m kind of excited about adding new books to my Kindle librar. Si I probably won’t be able to think for obsessing about it.
