Monday 11/6/23

8:06a.m. I read a lot in my book Wizard and Glass last night. I read until the aides gave me a nice shower and shave. But when I was put back in bed I wasn’t given my oxygen or s sheet. I screamed for help. The nurse finally came and did the job the CNA’S should of finished in the first place. I swear some of theses CNA’s haven’t a clue.

I started up and read some more. I also browsed B&N web site . I found out they have a new tablet out for $200.. You can listen to audiobooks on this one. If I had a credit card I would of bought it. It is probably a good thing the nursing home has control of my check

I stayed up until ten o’clock. I slept well with no arthritis pain, muscle spasms or weird dreams. The aides got me up around 5:30. They were not very friendly and a bit rough. I called Chocolatschip. She was depressed feeling a bit overwhelmed. She is still dealing with the bed bug problem and her upcoming colonoscopy. We talked a little bit then she had to take meds

Soon after that I got very depressed about life in general. I felt like shit this morning and had a major meltdown. I felt bad about ending up in a nursing home. Chococolatechip was saying she was about ready to be put in a home. This made me even more depressed I almost broke down and cried.â

Breakfast and coffee cheered me up. I called Chocolatschip after I ate. She was in better spirits. She talked about going out to post office and bank this morning Then she planned on going to Krogers. I felt a lot better knowing she was ok. We talked for about a half hour . Then she wanted to take a bath.

They will be having the Coffee Social soon..I can’t wait. I can’t get enough coffee in me. There is no such thing as too many books or not enough coffee.

10:46a.m. I made it to the Coffee Social. I had one cup of coffee. I had ia good time reading Wizard and Glass. I actually spoke with Norman. We said hi to each other . I stayed for about an hour reading my book. Then I made my way back to my room.

I feel pretty good thanks to the second cup of coffee. Im experiencing some minor arthritis pain in my feet. Other than that I’m doing great. They must of mixed some happy pills with my meds I’m going back to my book. I’m at an interesting part.

1:35p.m. I read my book until lunch. I had two grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. They were a bit greasy. I was hungry so I ate them anyways. French fries that came with the meal were cold. I ate most of them. Then I had jello for dessert. Lunch did not make me sick or bloated

I talked with Chococolatechip after I ate. She just got back from Krogers. I had a nice chat. She told me about the food she bought for her colonoscopy. Then she saw a $50 Visa gift card but she didn’t have enough money. I said you better stick to Amazon cards. I don’t think Visa will work

I talked with her about seeing Norman at them social. I said he actually spoke to me and I said that surprised the shit out of me. We talked about Norman for awhile. Chococolatechip said she was blamed for Norman’s breakup with his girlfriend. That was not the case.i thought he was playing both of them. But I kept my mouth shut on this one.

We talked about Stephen King. She said Elaine can’t stand him. Chococolatechip mentioned this one scene from a book of his I read. She said it was barbaric. It involved killing of children and cannibalism. I said that part gave me a few nightmares.i also said King isn’t for everyone and it was just a story. I find the real world far more cruel and scarier than what Stephen King ever wrote.

These Dark Tower novels are not as ad as The Talisman or Black House. They have their spooky spots but it no real gruesome or bloody parts. They are still good stories and one can never get bored from them. They are more sci fi and fantasy than horror novels. I’m going to indulge.

4:14p.m. I’m in bed now. I had to go to the nurse’s station for help. Aide came around 3:00 to put me in bed and change me. I am glad to be off the Hoyer pad. I read my book Wizard and Glass for about an hour. Then I called Chocolatschip. We talked briefly about this cookbook she was reading. She didn’t watch Dr Phil Then she wanted to write an entry on Prosebox

6:37p.m. I choked on my supper. They served Salisbury steak, scalloped potatoes, mixed veggies and Angel food cake. I was eating then steak and a piece must of went down the wrong hole. I was coughing it up for the longest time Fortunately lots of water took care of the problem. But I didn’t feel like eating afterwards Besides the steak had too much gravy and I wasn’t very hungry in the first place. So I end the day without supper.

Chococolatechip was pretty tired tonight. We talked for a little bit. She went to bed early. I fooled around with that damned B&,N web site. I’m having trouble resetting my password. It will accept the new password but when I try to sign in it says password invalid. Trying to get my account reactivated has been playing around in my mind for the last couple of days.

Also I’ve been trying to get in touch with somebody from the business office. I want to find out how much I owe on the back payment. I think they have had control of my check since last April. I could be wrong but by my calculations I should be cought up by now or close to it. This has been on my mind a lot as well.

Despite these thoughts I have been reading Wizard and Glass. I got read about forty pages today. I’m at a particularly hard part of the book. Things are starting to happen and I’m afraid what the outcome will be of my favorite female character Susan Delgado I want to read on but my mind was focused on B&N plus the finance. I hope to read more tonight.
