Saturday 8/19/23

9:28a.m. I didn’t have a very good night. Aides didn’t come to change my briefs. I was lying in urine all night long. They tend to slack on the weekends. The aides did get me up at five. I was still very tired so I slept in my wheelchair until Chococolatechip called

We talked for the longest time. Chococolatechip was very excited this morning. Her sister Kathleen found an apartment for her in Steubenville on Sunset Blvd. Rent is $550 a monthShe will have to pay her electric but Kathleen said she will pay for that. Kathleen will also pay for moving. It isn’t a done deal yet but the move is doable.

I asked when is the. Moving date.? Chococolatechip said it is in the works. She also said she does not want to move in the dead of winter We also talked about the new place. Chococolatechip described the ? locations I said I know that place well. My Aunt Ruth used to live there. She couldn’t believe it. Chococolatechip used to take care of Aunt Ruth when she was a nurse in Dixon’s. We sure do live in a small world.

We talked for the longest time about the move. Frankly, I do not know what to think about it. The rent will be over half her check. She will not be able to afford cable, phone or Internet. Then she will have to get all new doctors and everything else. Chococolatechip just said she was talking to her other sister Elaine. Elaine some the same points As it stands now the Steubenville move is not feasible.

I still say Freedom Place in Weirton would be her best bet. She would keep her present doctors. The move is right in the same town so it would g be that difficult.Best part is rent is based on 30%of monthly income. This is affordable and she could keep her cable service. Chococolatechip agreed after talking with Elaine

We were on the phone until they served breakfast.i I had eggs and hash browns. I also had two coffees and two glasses of orange juice. I was feeling kind of depressed but Chocolatschip, food and coffee cheered me up.

Well, I’m above the dirt. I feel pretty good after having a shitty night. I hope I can do a lot of reading in my book America’s Unwritten Constitution The Precidents and Principles We Live By by Akhil Reed Amar. I hope to read Chapter 2 today This will mark the tenth straight day of reading.
