Monday 8/14/23

12:10a.m. I went to sleep at 7 last night. I had a weird dream about being cought up with the Mafia. I went to this party he?d by Mob men. with a girlfriend The girlfriend forced me to wear a dress to the party. She ended up dumping me and going with a made man . The Mafia guy was going to kill me. I ripped off the dress and the next thing I knew I was running down route 2 outside Follansbee buck naked. I was headed for my parent’s house on Gilbert Avenue.

I made it home. They let me in and they asked me what had happened. It turned out that this Mafia guy was trying to get a loan from my father. My GF was with him all along . She was using me to convince my father to loan they mob man money. There is more to this story but these are the main points.

I also did some reading. I finished reading Chapter 7 which was about Bush v Gore. I’m getting kind of bored with this author.  But I will finish this damned book if it kills me. I read for about an hour then fell asleep at 7.

I just got a nice shower from the aides I feel much better  now. I am wide awake and raring to go. I think I will start on Chapter 8 of my book The Law of the Land A Guided Tour of Our Constitutional Republic Life is good 

3:12a.m. I didn’t do much reading after all. I was in a lot of excruciating pain from muscle spasms. They hit me one right after another. This went on for two hours. I couldn’t take it anymore. I called the nurse’s station. They brought two Tylenol s. I hope that helps with the pain. 

Well today I believe I am scheduled to see a Dr Kad. He is a heart doctor who will be treating me and for Congestive Heart Failure. The appointment is between 11 and 12. I’m not too worried about it. What will be will be . Worrying will not change the outcome one bit. 

5:28a.m. The Tylenol didn’t help. I spent the last two hours in pain. I !am in my wheelchair now. I’m hoping I will be more comfortable i think I am going to the Pain Clinic in Steubenville tomorrow.If so I’m ready for some strong pain killers. I can’t go through another night like last night. I don’t care if i do end up as a junkie. 

7:16a.m. I called Chocolatschip.She said, “I am seeing bed bugs. I’m barricaded in my apartment. I’m having thoughts. I can’t listen to your problems now.” She said she will back.m I wasm a bit hurt. I listen to her problems all the time But I quickly got over it and focused on her. I’m very worried about what is going on with her. I hope to God she doesn’t do anything stupid.

I had my breakfast drinks. They left a lot to be desired. Orange juice tasted like water and the coffee was barely warm. I drank then anyways. I’m just sitting here waiting for breakfast and worried shitless about Chococolatechip. But I’m not going to call her again. I will wait hoping she will call me back.

I also tried to read my book. I’m having a hard time concentrating  I started over Chapter 8 .I’m very tiered for one thing. I had one cup but I could use a second cup of hot coffee. I’m also hungry. I hope breakfast comes soon and it is halfway good In the meantime I hope I can read my book. I’m going to give it a shot.

12:02p.m. I finished chapter 8 in my book. I started the nex chapter which is about the 25th Amendment. I had to stop reading because the aides came to get me ready for my appointment. I waited and waited but nobody came for me. I went to the nurse’s station. They told me it was postponed until one.

So I went to the Fiesta Room for lunch. I Had two slices of ham,sweet potatoes a dinner roll and a chocolate cake. Lunch was pretty good I also talked with Chococolatechip.She has some big news. It looks like she will be moving out of Overbrook Towers. 

7:25p.m. I ended up making it to Dr. Kad The driver picked me up at 1:30pm It was kind of nice driving through Follansbee and going on a little trip.  The talk with the doc was short and sweet. I can add Congestive Heart Failure to my list of diagnoses. He asked if I had a history of heart problems. I said no but I was a smoker.Dr Kad said he will schedule a series of tests sometime in the near. That was it.

I chatted with Chocolatschip whilve at the office. She was a mess. She freaked out this morning because , for one thing, she still has a bed bug problem after her apartment was sprayed. Then there is the issue of the pitt bull. She refuses to live in fear and with bed bugs. After twenty years she is ready to move.

The question is where. Her sisters have an upscale apartment building in Wheeling picked out? But a studio apartment there would take half her check. It would be nice to live in a a place free of BB and low life scum bags. But she is afraid the place is just too rich for her. Then the move to Wheeling seems very overwhelming. Chococolatechip would have to start completely over.

I think her best bet would be Freedom Place in Weirton Rent is based on 30% of income. Utilities are included and you do not pay for air conditioning. Then they spray for bb three times a year. Chococolatechip said she heard that if you are from Overbrook you have to leave everything behind. I said I bet your sisters will buy new furniture.  

This is not a done deal At this point she does not know what she wants.  She needs to find out more info about both place before giving her notice. Chococolatechip told Kim she was considering moving. Kim wasn’t surprised. She said give us thirty notice for your deposito sta

 I made it back to the nursing home. We got back around four. I had a good supper and called Chocolatschip. Chococolatechip said her daughter Anne brought groceries and household items plus $100. It is good that her family is stepping up to the plate.

I’m in bed now. I’m kind of tired but I want chilli for a while and read my book The Law of the Land A Guided Tour of Our Constitutional Republic  by Akhil Reed Amar I hope to read Chapter 9 tonight.
