Monday 10/2/23

4:22a.m. I had nightmares again thanks to Stephen King and Peter Straub. Dreams woke me up around 3:30 I was up in time because the aides came in to give me a shower. Then they put new briefs on me got me dressed and into my wheelchair.Thanks to the shower I feel at least halfway awake. 

I  until 8:30 last night. All hell had been breaking lose in French Landing. The serial killer known as The Fisherman stuck again. Somehow he mailed the remains of a foot belonging to Ima Frenaue to Jack Sawyer. Then he called 911 to tell the cops the location of Irma. It got leaked out anreadd the whole town is headed to the crime scene which is turning into a shit show. This is the stuff of nightmares. 

Anyways I survived another hellish night. I’m above the dirt and in a nice safe nursing home. No monsters or serial killers are prowling the halls in this place. It sounds stupid but it is reading after reading that damned book.

I called Chocolatschip after the aides left. She had a bad night as well thanks to a bout of diarrhea of all the days to get sick I said. You have to get to CMP for that damned Abilify shot. She said she was still going but might cancel if she doesn’t get better. It seemed to me everything is conspiring to keep her from going. We talked briefly then she wanted to get started with housework.

At least I don’t have to worry about getting to doctor’s appointments. I’m pretty lucky in that respect. I don’t have to scrounge for food or worry about people bumming from me. Life in a nursing home doesn’t seem that bad. 

9:11am. I slept on an off until breakfast. I had two slices of French toast, coffee and orange juice. Breakfast and coffee started my engine. I began reading my book Black House. I read a couple chapters then got my menu for today I found out they are having the coffee social early at 9:30. So I’m down at the Fiesta Room waiting for my first cup

I’m having a good morning. I have I been enjoying my book Black House. I’m making good progress today. I just finished reading a couple interesting chapters. I think something scary is about to happen. Jack Sawyer and Fred Marshall are visiting Judy Marshall. She is in a ward for mental patients. She knows something about Tyler’s family abduction. Both Jack and Fred sense this. They also believe that this is no ordinary police investigation. All of which might come to light when Jack questions Judy. I love reading this shit even if it gives me nightmares.

 I just got my first cup of coffee.  All is right with the world I’m reading  great book and the coffee is working its magic spell. It doesn’t get better than this. 

12:56p.m. I’m back in my room . I had a great time at the Coffee Social. I did a lot of reading. I read Fred Marshall and Jack Sawyer visited Fred’s wife Judy. Doctor’s diagnosed her as a paranoid  schizophrenic. But Judy was anything but crazy. 

Jack and Judy had a very intense conversation about another world Jack knows as The Territories Judy knows this world as The Far Away Place.  She also knew Jack had been in this place as a twelve year old boy.  Also, her son  is still alive and being kept prisoner in that world. And Jack is the only one who can save him and the town of French Landing. 

I had two cups of coffee and two glasses of chocolate milk. Lunch was out of this world delicious. They served a big plate of lasagna, a huge piece of chocolate cake. a dinner roll and two bowls of salad. I ate everything but the salad. I was thinking the nursing home must want to keep me fat.

I made my way back to m my room after I ate. Chococolatechip called She just got home from CMP. She said she didn’t have long to wait for a bus. She is also going to order a sub from Dominos .

I’m in my bed now. I was hurting from dried urine and the Hoyer pad. The aide came and finally put me in bed. I had a very nice aide who cleaned me and put cream on my butt and thighs. I’m much better now. I am going back to my book.

4:22p.m. I just read another scary chapter in my book. It is getting scarier and scarier with each chapter To think I was going to give up on Black House a couple days ago. Now I can’t stop reading it . The authors sucked me in. The last two chapters I read this afternoon were particularly gripping. This has become  another other five star novel! 

I’m going back to my book. I got to find out what happens next. 

6:11p.m. I ended up talking to Chococolatechip for awhile Then I spent some time browsing for books. I only have two hundred some books on my Kindle app. I probably will never live to read all of them. Yes I want more and more books. I love looking at books as much as I like reading them. Then I went crazy buying books from Amazon and B&N. I soon found myself in debt up to my eyeballs

I didn’t have much of a supper They served two egg salad sandwiches and beats. I atek half a sandwich and a cup of fruit. Their egg salad leaves much to be desired. Besides, I didn’t want to get sick  I did manage to eat a cup of fruit and drink half a glass of orange drink. I ate a big lunch so I wasn’t hungry.

I called Chocolatschip after I ate. She had been up since three. Chococolatechip was pretty tired. She went over her budget for October. She said she has enough money left over for a backup air bed. Then she wanted to call it a night and go to bed. So we said our goodbyes for the day. 

I’m going to stay up and read my book. I have enough juice left for a couple hours. I should be able to read a couple more chapters before the battery runs down. Goodnight.
