9:49a.m. I had terrible nightmares last night. At one point I knocked the telephone off the table. Also had bad muscle spasms.  Consequently I didn’t sleep very well. I was awake when the aides dressed me and got me out of bed at five. Then the muscle spasms started again. They came one right after another and hurt like hell. This lasted a couple of hours until they served drinks and breakfast.

I had  biscuits and gravy plus scrambled eggs. Breakfast was pretty good this time. It put me in a better mood but I was still very sore and tired. I slept in my wheelchair until Chococolatechip contacted me on Messenger I was half asleep and hurting from arthritis pain but we chatted for a few minutes.  I’m afraid I fell asleep on her. 

So I was having a miserable morning. I’m at the coffee social now. I just finished my second cup of the day. I’m starting to feel better. I could use a another cup. But I noticed they are only serving one cup at the Social. This is a bummer! Two cups in the morning just doesn’t work for me.  

2:54p.m. This has been a very shitty ay so far. Arthritis and muscle spasms have been kicking my butt. On a scale of one to five the pain level was a five. One good thing was lunch. I had a big plate of spaghetti with meat sauce and two pieces of garlic bread. This put me in a little better mood then the spasms acted up again.

I am in bed for the day. I had to call all thek front desk for help. Aide did answer my call light but he left and didn’t come back. I was in no mood to wait for hours for help.i didn’t have long to after the call. He wasn’t too happy but he did his job and that what counts. Since I’m in bed I hope I start to feel better. 

4:43p.m. I spent the afternoon chilling. The pain worked itself out and I’m much better. I think sometimes you have to spend sometime doing absolutely nothing. That’s what I needed to 

I did look at books on B&N. I tried accessing my account. It said the account was suspended because of inactivity I tried resetting my password. That site is not user friendly. I think Amazon is much better .  I also talked with Chococolatechip. Talking with her always makes me feel better.  

I didn’t do much reading yet i read a few pages but just couldn’t get into my book. I was in too much pain. I hope to read tonight. I started a new chapter that seems pretty interesting. But I didn’t get very far. I hope to get a lot of reading done tonight. Like I say to Chococolatechip I got to study for the big English test at West Liberty.
