8:22am I had a decent night last night with no arthritis pain and only two incontinence episodes. I slept well with some nice dreams. I was dreaming about a dog in this one dream. I wash sitting in a chair and throwing a ball. The dog would run after it and we would play fetch then wrestle on the floor. We were both playing and having fun. Then the aid came in and woke me up.

I had a nice aid this morning. She got me out of bed and into my wheelchair by 5;30. I was still very tired. I slept on and off until breakfast. I had French toast, hot cereal and a banana. For drinks I had oj and a nice cup of hot coffee. I got cleaned up after breakfast. I’m starting off the day feeling refreshed.

Arthritis pain is at a one.  I’m in good spirits. I had two incontinence episodes and they changed me twice. So I’m sitting in my wheelchair high and dry. Still kind of tired despite a good breakfast and coffee.

12:15pm I struggled to stay awake all morning. I just could not get started. I do not understand why I feel so exhausted. I slept well last night Maybe it is old age. But I’m only 70. That’s not too old these days. Anyway I did  lot of sleeping. I’m perked up now because I just had lunch.

I had a good lunch of manicure beans, garlic bread and a cupcake. I had a nice cup of hot coffee, chocolate milk and a fruit punch. It was delicious and I ate it all.

I finally feel awake. I hope to do some reading this afternoon. I read  lot last night. I’m really enjoying my book Workshop of Democracy by James MacGregor Burns. I almost finished two chapters. I hope to read two more today

10:43pm I am in bed after seventeen hrs in my wheelchair. I’m not complaining because I had a good supper of ham with pinto beans and cornbread. They served spinache also but I didn’t eat it. I had hot coffee and two fruit punches for drinks then chocolate ice cream for desert.

I also did a lot of reading in my book Workshop of Democracy by James MacGregor Burns. I read almost two very interesting chapters. I’m going to start Part 3 which discuses the Progressive Era I can’t wait to get started on this section.

I’m not tired at all. It is time to go to bed but I’m wide awake. I think I feel just a little bit hyper. I need to calm myself down.I Felt tired and sluggish almost all  day but I can’t sleep when it’s time to go to bed. I hope I’m not up all night I need my rest because I have physical therapy tomorrow.
