Saturday 1/22/22

7:34am I am up in my wheelchair. The aid got me out of bed at six. Despite sleeping almost all day yesterday I still felt tired. I slept in my chair until breakfast. I had scrambled eggs, toast, hot coffee and cereal. It was ok and I ate it all.

I had some weird dreams last night. I was looking into this warehouse. It had rows of cartons stacked on skids. They were waiting to be shipped to customers. There was this one guy who was driving a fork lift. He was pushing loaded skids around.This dream reminded me of a place I used to work. I asked around and ufound out they were making far more money than I did.

Yesterday was a very bad day. Ain level was up to a five. It was so bad I stayed in bed all day.i also slept most of the day.Today is a little better but the pain is still bad. I wish I was back in bed sleeping.

I am a firm believer in karma. What you do will come back and bite you in the butt. I must of been a real asshole in my younger years. This arthritis is sure bitting me in the butt. It is God’s way of exacting revenge on all the shitty things I must of did in my youth.

I just got off the phone with Chocolatechip. We talked about someone knocking on her door after Bingo.Then somebody called her and hanging up. She said they just can’t leave me alone. She was also talking about getting a credit card. I told her how I pay my rent through my credit card co. She said that might be ab option. We talked about my former caregiver, Stephanie dying. She talked with someone about it but they didn’t tell her the cause. I kind of suspect it was a drug overdose.

I feel better after talking to my girlfriend,eating breakfast, and having my morning coffee. Pain is still at a three. It hurts most when I try not to move my legs. I’m not getting muscle spasms and that is a blessing. I think I will have a fairly decent day.

1:57pm

I am having a decent day. Pain level has gone down to a two. I had pork chop with gravy, potatoes, blended vegetables and a dinner roll for lunch. For desert I had jello. Then two cups of coffee and a glass of fruit punch. It was a good lunch and I ate it all.

I did a lot of reading this morning. I finished that one David Baldacci? book, The Hit. This was an excellent thriller and I highly recommend it. My next read is another Baldacci novel called The Target. It is the third in the Will Robie series. Once again Will and Jessica Reel team up to perform a highly classified hit for the government. But I suspect there will be many twists and turns in the plot.

I talked with Chocolatechip. The be it card co just up her account balance to $77. This is the acc that has a spend down before it will be closed. Also, she applied and was accepted to a Capito One credit card co. I said I think that is a good idea. just do not go crazy. She said she is only going to use it for Comcast payment and SCI payments.

I went back and finished my book. Then I started reading The Target. It starts out with an old man dying of cancer. He is on death row. Two men are coming to see him. They are dressed as ministers. But I think they are hired guns for this man has killed many Pele including this blown wife. It starts out this way then swichres to the White House Situation Room. They are planning something big that will involve Will Robie and Jessica Reel.

I am doing good so far. Compared to yesterday pain is non existent? Only jhD two incontinence episodes this morning. Chocolatechip is is. This is a very good day..

3:25pm I am torn between two desires. I want to read my book The Target. But I’m kind of read out by now. Then there is OD.I feel the need to write but there is nothing to write about. J guess i could write about my phone conversation with Chocolatechip. She was going on about that debit card balance. She can’t understand why it keeps going up and down. Then she was going on about her credit card. She plans on using that to pay Comcast and SCI. She said she heated up a dutch apple pie and that was y that isn’t much to write about, is it?

I got good care this afternoon. Aid was very nice. She changed my briefs. It’s a lot more comfortable to sit in my chair. I am well fed. I ate both breakfast and lunch. Coffee with both meals was nice and hot. I really can’t complain. So if I can’t bitch about the nursing home then what can I write about?

I’m looking forward to supper. They are serving hot turkey sandwich, green beans and pineapple crisp. For drinks I hope to have two cups of hot coffee and fruit punch. I could use a cup now I’m getting sleepy.

Well, I guess it’s back to my book.

6:49pm. i looked at some books on my wishlist. Actually I don’t think I’ll be buying too many books next month. I bought enough books in Dec and Jan to last me for awhile. I did see one book I would like to get. It is a biography of LBJ written by Robert Called. There are two books I might buy. I don’t knowy, I know I don’t want to spend my whole checks on books.

I do want to buy another tablet. This one is working fine thanks to my roommate letting me use his charger. But I want to get a back up. I don’t want to be out in the cold if the battery on this one goes kaput. I think a new tablet would be a wise investment.

I looked at books and read until supper. I ate my desert and the hot turkey sandwich. I couldn’t stomach the green beans. I had two cups of coffee and a glass of frut punch. I started to get bloated after the turkey sandwich so I stopped eating.

I called Chocolatechip aftet supper.We had a nice conversation over the phone. She was in good spirits today saying she had a good day. That made me happy. We both had a good day I said. She talked about blocking someone on PB.This person was noting her claiming to know me from my PB days. I said I didn’t ont remember her when she told me her handle. I think it is somebody trying to stir the pot.

We also talked about different movies she watched.vtoday. I think she watched Fatal Attraction. This was be of her favorites. It is also one of mine and we saw it about a million times. We used to watch a lot of movies together in my apt. Her favorite channel was LMN. I let her pick out the movies we watched. I did not care because I just enjoyed having company.

We talked for a long time. She wanted to go to bed soon so we said our goodbyes. I got on my Nook app and looked at more books. I swear I get as much enjoyment from looking at books tad I do buying and reading them I am a true blue book nerd

It is 7:27pm I just had my evening meds. I was fed had my meds and want to go to bed. I’ve been  in this wheelchair since six. That is over thirteen hours. I hope they put me to bed at a decent hour. The have been getting me into bed around nine, ten. This is not too bad I’m ready for bed now but I guess they have to  make their rounds.

. This was a very good day. I had good care. The meals were good and the coffee hot. Enen better was little arthritis pain. I was able to finish one good book and start another. Even better Chocolatechip had a good day. Life is good.

10:00pm I am still in my wheelchair. This makes it 16 hrs. I rang the call light but so far no aid I was talking to Chocolatechip on the phone. We mentioned the fact that we should have been gotten Marr ied. We were both on SSI and they would have taken away too much money. If we had gotten married perhaps I wouldn’t have ended up in a nursing home. Then we talked about people trying to get into her apartment at night. We talked about that as well Nobody has bothered you in the last couple nights I said. Perhaps they got tired of it because there was no response.

She also talked about her debit card. She checked again and her Ballance is still $77. She wondered if the catalog company breimbursed her. This is the only way we figured that the balance increased. We had a nice talk. She talked about different scenes from Fatal Attraction. She said she watched that toda Then I started getting tired I said I’ve been in this wheelchair since six.

I did some reading as well  The Hit is another good book by David Baldacci. I read the first eighty some pages today Again. I do not want to discuss the plot or the story.. All I Wii say is I’m thoroughly enjoying the book. I actually started to care about the characters, Will Robie and Jessica Reel.

Aids finally came and put me to bed. I’m glad now. Life is good
