Saturday 9/14/24

10:04a.m. I can’t get awake today. I had a good night with no nightmares or weird dreams. The aides got me out of bed by 5:30. I slept in my wheelchair for an hour. Chocolatechip called. We talked for a few minutes. Then I slept until they served breakfast. I had a banana muffin, scrambled eggs and hash browns.

Breakfast failed to perk me up. I fell back asleep. I slept until it was time for the coffee social. I made it to the Fiesta Room. I had one cup of coffee. I’m still sleepy. I don’t want to sleep have the morning. I have the New York Times to read. I also want to start on Years of Upheaval by Henry Kissinger sometime today.

Speaking of the paper I was looking at the headlines. I saw where NATO might send long range missiles to the Ukraine. Putin sent a warning to NATO. This scared the shit out of me. I thought WW111 is coming ne itxt. I will have to read the article.

12:32p.m. I read one article in the paper . It was about the Jan 6 riots. Then I went back to the Fiesta Room for lunch.  They served two turkey sandwiches and pasta salad . The sandwiches were enough. I made my way back to my room. I called Chocolatechip and left a message.Lunch perked me up. I hope I can read this afternoon. Life is good.

3:27p.m. I ended up sleeping most of the afternoon. I was so tired today. All I did was sleep. I managed to read a couple articles in The New York Times this afternoon. Other than that I slept in my wheelchair and talkec with Chocolatechip.

6:20p.m. I had roast pork, mashed potatoes, Italian broccoli, a dinner roll and strawberry striped cake for supper. It was ok except for the tasteless mashed potatoes. But I ate everything. I talked with Chocolatechip while I ate. We talked for half an hour about different things. I had a good time talking with her tonight. I mentioned a couple stories I heard on CNN. I said I swear things are going crazy. They were talking about Putin threatening to attack NATO. If that happens it’s WWIII I said.

Chocolatechip said there is nothing we can do about it. She is right. If anything does happen we lived our lives she said. I agree with her on that point. I said I think I’m giving CNN a rest for now. I was getting too upset and depressed But I will still read my beloved New York Times. 

I talked to her about this one story I read. There is this town in Ohio named Springfield. It had experienced a large influx of Haitian  immigrants . During the debate Trump falsely claimed that these people aren stealing pets and eating them. At subsequent rallys he defended this. Now the town is getting bomb threats. Isn’t this crazy? Every word out of Trump’s mouth is a lie and people believe him.

We also talked about my care. Chocolatechip they don’t seem to be doing much for me. I said they are just warehouseing me. I talked about that cough I had for over a month. I needed to be shipped to the hospital. The nursing home did nothing. Chocolatechip that was more than a cough. Thank God that is over with I said.

Chocolatechip asked if I was going to read tonight. I said I plan on starting a new book. It is going to be The White House Years by Henry Kissinger. It is the first volume in his three volume memoirs. I read it before but it deserves a second read. After that we said our goodbyes for the night.
