4:55a.m. i am above the dirt. Aides got me up at 4:45a.m. I was put in bed around ten She was a bit rough getting me changed but did her job. Speaking of this one aide she was on duty when I was left in my wheelchair until 2 in the morning. I called APS on the nursing home for that. I am wondering if she got in trouble and this is why she cops an attitude. Oh well she does her job. I guess that’s certainly hat counts.
I had a fairly good night.I had nightmares where I woke up screaming. Other than that I slept ok. I am not sure if I’m awake yet. I kind of feel like a train wreck. I need coffee to get me motivated. But at least I’m blessed with another day
8:30a.m. I talked with Chocolatechip over the phone. She is in good sprits? She had a good night with nobody harrasing her. We talked about different subjects. One of them was about her sister Elaine coming up on th 20th. She talked about going to the M&B to get three packs of cigars. Then she wants to go grocery shopping at Wal Mart and they plan on eating out. We had a nice little chat.
I downloaded the New York Times. First article I saw was about Trump. The Jan 6′ Committee is turning it’s investigation over to the Justice dept. I think they are recommending criminal proceedings against Trump.In any case he seems to be in deep shit. I hope his ass gets jail time.This is one article I must read.
I had a good breakfast. I had two pieces of toast, scrambled eggs one coffee and a glass of oj. I wanted another coffee but the aide gave me one. I should be grateful for one cup of coffee.
Going to try and read the paper. I want to read more about Trump.
6:33p.m. I never did get to read the paper. Once again I slept through most of the day. When awake I felt doless and listless. I couldn’t concentrate on anything. Then, later in the afternoon, my roommate started to act up. He was yelling and cussing his fool head off. One time he yelled at me to get out of the fucking phone when I was talking to Chocolatechip. When aides came in he got very combative and cussed at them.
Then I was chatting with Chocolatechip on Messenger. I must of tapped something by mistake. The keyboard shrank and appeared on the upper right corner of the screen. I tried all afternoon to fix the problem. I was going crazy thinking I broke the new tablet. Finally. an aide helped me and got it working.
So my afternoon wad kind of crazy with my roommate and busted tablet. Both got me very nervous and upset. I thought thi s place was crazy today. I ended up wishing I could just get the hell out of here and live with Chocolatechip. But I’m afraid my days of living independently are long gone.
I guess it was just one of those days. Staff was very nice today. I eventually made it to occupational therapy. I did pretzz good for my first day back. They worked on stretching and reaching my arms. I had to put pegs in round holes. It wad all pretty saw. Saw Darla there and she gave me a nice hug. I had a good time.
Supper was good as well. I had two cups of hot coffee with hamburger, fries and a bowl of vegetable soup. Then I had a dish of grapes for desert..I called Chocolatechip after I ate and she was doing good. I think supper and talking with Chocolatechip wad the highpoint of my day.
I’m wide awake now. I’m going to listen to my book Grand Expectations by James T Patterson. I hope to listen to three chapters tonight.
11:34p.m. I had a very good evening for the most part. I listened to o my audiobook. Apparently I fell asleep when it was on and I thank God the tablet was sitting on the bed table. Then my roommate started screaming and cussing again. He woke me up.
I’m in bed now. I hope I have a goodnight. Life is good
Audiobook sounds nice. I prefer my Kindle, though. I don’t know, without the letters, part of the joy disappears for me, unless the audio has been recorded with cool effects, or in a very deep literature voice like some Victorian professor. Do you like Grand Expectations so far?
@aaronbraveheart I find them relaxing but I like to read as well. Book I’m listening to now, Grand Expectations is a history of the US from 1945-1974 It is excell
