6:01a.m. I really enjoyed reading my book last night. I stayed up past eleven reading. I had a fairly good night except for weird dream. This one dream was a out women sueing la high powered executive for sexual harrasement. This one female lawyer said”I will have that bastard’s balls!” There is was a trial. I remember the courtroom was filled with victims. They were all out for blood. ?

The aides got me up at five. I got washed up and changedp After that they got me in my wheelchair by five thirty. Chocolatechip contacted me on Messenger? We had a nice worried about that exorbitant Comcast bill and letting her caregiver ho.we talked about that  for ha!f an hour. 

Now, I’m just sitting in my chair waiting for coffee and breakfast. I feel awake but that’s what I say every morning. After breakfast I’ll probably crash.

This pic is a little bit better. Just learning how to take pictures on my new tablet. 

I had a good afternoon. First, I had a delicious lunch of spaghetti and meat sauce. After lunch I spent a lot of time with Chocolatechip over the phone. She got a new tablet yesterday and we got it up and running. I worked with her step by step in downloading and installing Facebook and instant Messenger. 

I do not know much about this technology shit. But I felt like a real pro when we got the job done. I also felt better about myself. Helping Chocolatechip kept me from obsessing about my own problems. In helping and listening to her I was also helping myself. So I had a great afternoon.

Like I said I slept a lot as well. Again I do not know what makes me so tired all the time. I had a halfway decent night. But I was still tired. Sometimes I think it is the depression that is making me sleepy. Then there isn’t much for me to do in this nursing home but read and sleep and chat with Chocolatechip. That was about all I did this afternoon.

I had a good supper. I had a tuna salad sandwich, potato salad, bowl of cottage cheese, beef barely soup and Mandarin oranges for desert. Supper was really good and I ate it all. Then the coffee was nice and hot. I had two cups p!us a glass of fruit punch.

I am up and awake  now. Chocolatechip said today that by the time she is ready for bed I’m up. She is right. I honestly do not like this schedule. I got a lot stuff to do. Instead of sleeping I could be talking to Chocolatechip. I could be reading the New York Times. I could be doing something useful but I’m wasting away my life by sleeping most of the time. This makes me feel so frustrated.

I’m going to read my book The 6:20 Man by David Baldacci. Life is good.

10:54p.m. I had a good evening. I spent it reading The 6:20 Man. I got about eighty pages to go. The story has taken many twists and turns. There have been a lot of murders and the main suspect is the a billionaire many times ovet. All of the evidence points to him. But I think there will be a surprise really use ending. The author is keeping me guessing untill the end. 

I was on Facebook for awhile as well. I saw a full blown close up of my ex wife. So he was in this bar restaurant. Seeing her picture bright back some bitter memories. She ended up being a teacher at some community college in Ohio. I,on the other hand, ended up being a bum living in a nursing home. I’m glad she made good. I just wish I could of done something with my li

Oh the shit you can find on Facebook. I tried not to let that picture bother me or ruin my night. After all I was having a good time reading my book. Why let a pic of a woman ruin a good evening? I managed to put that shit out of my mind. I went back to my book. I’m kind of proud of myself because I didn’t let myself be upset for too long.

I hope I can finish that book tomorrow. For my next read I plan on returning to American history. I would like to finish a series of books called The Oxford History of the United States. i will start with Grand Expectations by James T Patterson. This is the seventh volume in the series. If all goes well I’ll start on this Saturday.

I had a good for the most part. Ij had great c are and was free from pain with only a few muscle spasms. I had pretty good care plus three good meals. IThen I was lucky enough to to read a very good book. Even better I was able to help Chocolatec This was a very good day indeed.
