5:57am I’m so glad the tablet seems to be working. I was scared it was broken for good when I dropped it Thank God who must be looking out for me because He knows I can’t afford another. It seeems I always land on my feet.
I did a lot of readinglast night thanks to my Kindle. I am on Chapter 20 now. I have four more chapters to go. The Republic for Which it Stands is a very enjoyable and interesting book. I will hate to see it end.
I read until 11:00. I fell asleep in bmy wheelchair. I ha a couple nice aides who put me to bed. I slept well but I had some weird d dreams. I was dreaming I met up with my ex wife. I was in her house. I couldn’t get over how neat and orderly it was Then it got very strange and weird in parts. Thankfully the aides woke me up. I was in my chair by 5:30.
I think I’m doing very well this morning. I’m not in too much pain. My shoulders and bad leg hurt a bit but not too bad. I’m more relieved that my tablet is working than anything else. Thiscis going to be a pain free day
7:07am I had my first cup of coffee today. I pushed myself to the end of the hall where the drinks cup were parked. Aide was nice enough to give me a cup . The caffeine fix was much needed but I hope to have hone more plu s a glass of oj.
I’m just sitting in my chair waiting for breakfast I’d like to start reading now. I am kind of excited about getting into that book. No sense in starting now only to stop for breakfast. After I eat and talk to Chocolatechip I’ll have all morniçng to read.
2:41pm I had two egg sandwiches, oatmeals plus two coffees and an oj. I had a good morning. I listened to The Republic for Which it St for an hour or more. I got very sleepy. Remembering my experiences from yesterday I was afraid btovtouch the tablet so I put it down and slept.
Around lunch the aides came with the hoyer and put me to bed to get changed. The padding was so I had to stay in bed until they came back with a new one. But they got up in time for lunch.
Lunch was delicious. I had beef tips with mushrooms and gravy on egg noodles, carrots and a dinner roll. Ii had a chocolate cake for desert and two coffees. I ate it all.
I also talked with the Social Worker. I told her about the lack of care. She wanted dates and times. I said it was an over the weekend. I also asked about the phone for the hearing impaired. So this he is said d she called, left a message and will call again. That was the extent of our conversation.
3:54pm I have been wondering what’s going on with Chocolatechip. I think I talked with her two very brief times. I left several messages but ono answered. I’m ua bit mad. She gets upset when hei don’t get her car lls. Sometimes I think she expects me to be at her beck and all. Yet she doesn’t give me much of an explanation as to why she doesn’t answer my call. I don’t understand why she can’t get ll me she has something is going on so I won’t worry. Other than this Chocolatechip is perfect.
7:55pm I had bean and bacon soup, pulled pork,on a bun, corn and a cup of fruit for desert. I had one cup if hot coffee. Supper was good and I ate it all.
I’ve been listening to The Republic for Which it Stands.I’m on the last section oh chapter 20. I hope to finish listening to this chapter tonight. Then I will have three more to go.
I don’t know what I’m going to read next. I am anxious to read my new Stephen King book Fairy Tales.But I’m equally anxious to continue on with the Oxford History of the United States series. Next up will be The American People in Depression and War by David M Kennedy. This is about the US during the depression a in d WWII. I think I will stay the course.
The aides put me to bed early tonight. It s just as well for I am tired of sitting on that hoyer pad all day. You would think they would put a pillow over it by or at least a sheet. Not sleepy I think I will listen to my book.
