10:47am I had a good night  I finished my book and went to sleep around ten o’clock. I got good care as well. Aides came in to change me two or three times. I slept with few muscle spasms and no nightmares. Only problem was the aides got me up way too early at 4:30. I was still pretty tired and slept in my wheelchair for a couple of hours..

Then I’m woke up and called Chocolatschip. She was feeling overwhelmed and had second thoughts about moving to Freedom Place. The application itself is daunting. Then there is the process of moving. It is a big endeavor. She was going on about how she had only herself to rely on. Chococolatechip said her family might bail on her at the last minute then she’d be stuck.

We talked for about a half hour on this subject. Then they served drinks and breakfast. Breakfast was delicious. I had biscuits and gravy . Then I started reading another Akhil Reed Amar book America’s Unwritten Constitution : The Precedents and Principles which we Live By. I read the first few pages then got sleepy.

I’m very proud of myself. I set a goal to read twenty books this year. This is the middle of August and so far I finished thirteen books. I m also on a nine  day reading streak. My goal is to break my longest record of 85 straight days

I am at the Coffee Social now. I already had my first coffee. I feel pretty good.  I’m going to tackle my new book.

6:23p.m. Life just sucks. I feel very depressed right now. I finished the first chapter in my book America’s Unwritten Constitution. Normally reading relaxes me and makes me feel better. But not today. I’m very very depressed and feel like shit. That’s all I can saym
