Saturday 12/10/22 I’m Back!

5:38pm I am back.! It is good to be back. I accidently broke my tablet more than two months ago. I had to save up to get a new one. I was able to buy one from Amazon a couple days ago. It just arrived in the mail this afternoon. It took me awhile to get it set up p and running but I was able to to it Then I downloaded a few essential apps such as Amazon Kindle and Facebook messenger. I talked to Chocolatechip on messenger .

Nothing much has changed during my absence. I’m still in the same nursing home. I’m getting better care though. A while back Chocolatechip called APS. A lady from that agency came up to visit me. I told her about wh at has been going on such as not getting my briefs changed and being kept in my wheelchair until two am. Since thing I’ve been getting changed more frequently. Also, the aides have been putting me to bed at a decent hour.usually around 8 or 9 pm.So  Both are great  I’m a little more satisfied with my care.Z

Still I have had access to my precious library.  I’m still spending most of my time reading history books and the new York Times. I have been reading a series of books called The Oxford History of the United States. But I took a break from this to read two of my favorite fiction authors, John Grisham The Boys From Biloxie  and Stephen King Fairy Tales. I enjoyed both books and highly recommend them.

Well,it is good to be back. I missed writing on here. 

10:37pm I am in bed. Aides put me in bed by nine.i havebeen thinking about the advantages of using a Kindlebp or the Kindle app As for the Kindle,  like the fact that I can purchase books without going to the Amazon website. But there is no Bluetooth device connected so I can’t listen to my audible books. I like the layout of the NYT on the Kindle Also I can have access to the internet and OD while using the tablet. Plus the screen is bigger and the pictures are in color.There are definitive advantages of the app and tablet as opposed to the Kindle But there is no law saying I can’t use both.

I also spent my evening reading a new book The 6:20 Man by David Baldaccii. This is about a man named Travis Devine. he takes the 6:20 train to work everyday for an investment company on Walstreet. But Devine is no ordinary Wall Street drone. He is a former officer in the Ranger who served time in Afghanistan and Iraq.after the suspicious death of a coworker Devine is forced to by the  go spy on government tothe company he works for The company is suspected of some very shady dealings that are in danger to national security. The book is interesting so far. 

I also been dwelling on next January’s budget. I would like to purchase an eleven volume series of books called The Story of Civilization by Will and Ariel Durant. This is the history of the growth of civilized man fm pre history to the age of Napoleon. I already bought the first volume Our Oriental Heritage . I’d love to be able to buy the next ten volumes . Durant won a Pulitzer for these books.

January is three weeks away. Buying these books is not a done dea!. But I got an idea rolling around in my head. Once that happens I cannot shake it. The harder I try to say no the stronger the urge gets. I obsess and my main obsession is books. I should no better but I get myself in more financial jams because I can’t say no to books.
