Friday 7/28/23
7:36a.m. I ended up doing a lot of read last night. I’m almost finished with my book America’s Constitution:A Biography by Akhil Reed Amar. I read until around nine then got sleepy. I will finish this book today. Next up is another book about the Construction The Constitution Today by the same author.
I had a fairly good night. I did have some weird dreams. in this one dream I was a guerilla leader. I was leading my band down a long hiking trail. The trail was pretty rough. We went through mountains and down to a river bank We found a woman that had jumped ed off a bo at.She was half dead but I nursed her back to life.
I received good care last night. I was attended to in a timely fashion. Aides got me up at five this morning. I got a nice sponge bath. They changed my briefs and got me in my wheelchair I slept in my chair until they served breakfast. I had toast and scrambled eggs.
I called Chocolatschip. She complained about having diarrhea at midnight and then bed bug situation. They were out in force crawling all over her. Chococolatechip was not in good spirits this morning. She also had a run in with the Bitch Clique yesterday that left a bad taste. Welcome to retirement she said.
Well I’m above the dirt. I had a rough morning but things got better after coffee. I alive and that what counts.
10:20a.m. i slept a lot this morning. But I made it to the Fiesta Room for the Coffee Social. I can’t wait for the coffee and donut.I hope the caffeine will get me going. I want to finish that book on the Constitution.
12:53p.m. I had a good time at the Coffee Social. I had plenty of coffee plus a donut. I ate most of my lunch. I had toast beef with gravy, potatoes, green beans. a dinner roll and a cup of fruit for dessert. Lunch was delicious. I made my own way back to my room
I called Chocolatschip. She was doing a little better. I guess mornings are rough for both of us before coffee. Chococolatechip was working on a budget for August. She was debating on spending $40 for a bus pass. I said you hardly ride the bus anymore i would put that in with your next eggs.
We also talked about the possibility of her moving. Chococolatechip would like to be in a nursing home instead of another high rise. She said her situation is intolerable on at Overbrook.She can’t handle the bed bugs. The Housing Authority is not doing a damned thing about it. Then her overall physical problems are getting worse. Chococolatechip days it’s getting harder and harder to keep up her apartment. She would like to move to where I’m at.
I was telling her I’m having a much better day. Finding out I have CHF yesterday really depressed me. Chococolatechip said it can be maintained by meds. I see a Dr. Kad on August 14 between 11-12. He will probably prescribe a diuretic according to .She was a nurse and knows her stuff. She said try not to worry about it. I will take her advice.
7:48p.m. I have been doing a lot of reading. I finished my book America’s Constitution:A Biography by Akhil Reed Amar. This makes the 11th book I read this year. I also started another book by the same author The Constitution Today: Timeless Lessons for the Issues of Our Era. I already read the Introduction
I also talked with Chocolatechip. She said Eddie the Moocher told her he might be evicted. Eddie owes $600 in back rent. He is also responsible for doing a lot of damage to his apartment. She also said that a member of the Bitch Clique, Jenn, wanted to borrow $10 for cigarettes. Jenn also asked Chocolatechip a lot personal questions about current fiancees. I was glad Chocolatechip didn’t give her money.
As for Eddie I hope he does get evicted. I normally do not wish harm on anyone. But Eddie has taken advantage of Chocolatechip too many times. He is a grown man and should be able to take care of himself. It’s just not right that he bothers and experts people to support him.That is just my opinion.
I talked to my girlfriend until supper time. I had a fish sandwiches and a cup of ice cream. They served two but I only ate one. J called Chocolatechip after I ate. We talked about different things. She was going on a out other tenants in Overbrook Towers. Everyone seems to be on edge. This is the end of the month. People are broke and out of cigarettes. That would be enough to make anyone edgy
We talked until 6:30. I started reading my new book The Constitution Today. I read the Introduction. This book is a collection of esseysAmar wrote since he got tenure at Yale. He begins on June 28, 2012. on this date the Supreme Court was to issue it’s decision on Obamacare The world was focused on the outcome. This is going to be another great book.
I’m very proud of myself So far I’ve read thirteen books this year. My goal is set for twenty. Also. I’m on twenty – three day reading streak.
The day is coming to a close. I had a pretty good day until now. I had my call light on since supper. I’ve been peeing like crazy. But I can’t get help to save my soul. I don’t know why I can’t get help on the night shift. Oh well, I’m used to lying in urine.
