7:00pm I had a better day today. I stayed in bed and slept. I still feel like I worked a double in the mill. They gave me something for diahrrea last night. It must of worked because I had no incidents. I also got halfway decent care. This was a better day.

Like I said I still feel tired. I feel like I worked a double in the mill. From what they tell me this is one of the symptoms of COVID. I slept almost all day today but still feel exhausted. If they came to put me to bed now I’d probably fall asleep. I wish they would come but something tells me I  will be up for awhile.

We had a big snow storm last night. I think Chocolatechip told me we got five to seven inches. The storm knocked out her cable., phone and internet service. She called Comcast and they fixed the problem. This was in the morning when I was still sleeping.

I had one bad spell during the afternoon. At lunch one of the aids who brought the tray put my phone beyond reach. I also had an accidental. I could not get any help all afternoon. I was getting angry again. But somebody finally came around 3:30 to change me and get me out of bed. She was nice and didn’t give me a hard time about peeing myself.

I had a good supper of a cheeseburger, French fries and peaches for desert. I ate it all. I also had a fruit punch and coffee for drinks. This was the first cup of coffee I had all day and it was nice and hot.

I talked with Chocolatechip for about an hour after breakfast. She was in good spirits. We were talking about the Bitch about an hour and how they are trying to run everything at Overbrook. She feels sry for this one lady . She is on the outs with them and has nobody to talk to. Then another member is moving out. this summer. I said the Clique must be breaking up. Chocolatechip said she will be friendly with that bunch but does not want to be a part of that group.

We talked about holding grudges against people.  This subject came up when we were talking about Wayne. I said I don’t hold a grudge against him. Life is too short Then the subject of MIL came up. I said I still hold a grudge against my mother in law. No matter what I tried to do for my wife it was never good enough. Nothing I did was good enough. I had my share of faults but I still blame my MIL for my wife turning against me.

We had a nice conversation. She was watching the news and was talking about the war in Europe. I said I hope to hell we don’t get into it. Biden does not want to go to war. If we get into it that will be WWIII. But the U.S is sending arms to Ukraine. I said that’s not good. We should stay completely out of it. I should start reading the NYT again. I miss not knowing what’s going on in the world.

I feel good right now. I’m tired as all get out but other than that I feel fine. Today was much, much better.

11:25pm I’m back in bed. I got great care tonight. I had the aid that likes me. She gave me a nice shave and got me in bed. I told her she is the only aid that sees I have a shave for brush my teeth. Both must of perked me up some because I am not sleepy or tired.

My B$N app now has audible books. I thought I’d give it a try. I got a free audible book for signing up. I used to check out audible book from the library but found them too expensive to buy. I downloaded a history book about Vietnam by Max Hastings. I can’t wait to give it a try. It was free with a trial subscription. But I don’t think I will keep it because it cost $14.95 a month.

I had a good evening. I didn’t do a damned thing. I played a couple chess games and lost. I also played a few hands of Solitaire and lost. But I had fun and sort of chilled out. Pain was non-existent and that put me in a good mood. In short, I had fun.
