6:27a.m.Last night was somewhat better. Aides put me to bed early. Roommate kept me up because he yelled his fool head off half the night. Then I had the weirdest nightmares. Then it seemed whenever I settled down the aides came in to change me. At least it was pain free and I did get some rest.

Like I said  had some weird dreams. I was walking long a four lane highway with some kind of pet chicken on a leash. I wad trying to get to Steubenville. But I kept going into the woods off the road. I was following a path that was going down a hill. I wad on a thick woods that turned out to be haunted and cursed. At the bottom of the hill was a vgroup of houses or small village.

People were living in this villagers . They were in some kind of cult of devel worshippers. I had didn’t know it but I was there to save them. I was going up to people holding out my hand. I said something trying to get these people to follow me and be free of the curse. They wouldn’t lisyn and I raised out my arm to destroy all of them.

Aides did let me sleep in until six. I was in my wheelchair by then. I chatted with Chocolatechip.. She reported mild anxiety. Chocolatechip was worried about being dropped from Health Ways. Why would they do that? I asked. She said for cancelling rides too many times. I said I don’t think they would do that. Then she was worrying way about firing her caregiver. I said you shouldn’t have anything to worry about that.

We chatted on Messenger about different topics. Thn she had to take her morning meds. I got my much needed coffee and oj. Then I had a breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs and oatmeal. Coffee and a good break got me going. I think I’m going going to have a good day.

10:11p.m. I did have a good day. Once again I slept through most of it. I managed to wake up later in the afternoon. I chatted with Chocolatechip on Messenger. She was in good spirits. Chocolatechip talked a lot about her finances. She also went on about doing housework. Then she talked about going to the bank early Monday morning.

I had a good supper. I had a hot roast beef sandwich with noodles and vegetables. I had three cups of coffee and a glass of fruit juice. For desert I had a cup of peaches.  Supper and the extra coffee perked me up for good.

I started to read and listen to yet another book after I ate. I started Grand Expectations:   The United States from 1945-1974 by James T Patterson. I listened to the audible version. The author begins at the end of WWII. He does a pretty good job in describing what life was like for America back then. I think this is going to be another excellent book in the Oxford History of the United States series.

I just finished listening to Chapter 3.  This was about rthe economic and social expansion of the U. S. Very,very good chapter. The author talked about the  beginnings of economic growth that would last until the 1970s. Next chapter is about the beginnings of the Cold War and America’s growing leadership in the struggle against Communism.

I should be asleep by now. I slept all day and the extra cup of coffee is keeping me awake. I think I will go listen to my book.
