Tuesday 4/5/22

6:16am I am in my wheelchair. Aids were very nice this morning. They dressed me in a pair of pants and a shirt. I told them I hardly know how to act. I feel pretty good right now I’m glad I’m dressed. To make things even better one of the aids said she has a charger for my other tablet. This would really make my day.

So my day is off to a good start. I had a bad night though The usual problems, arthritis pain and incontinence, kept me from sleeping. I must of slept some because I had nightmares. At one pointi woke up screaming. I laid in bed, drenched in urine, the rest of the night. Aids do not come in to change me after I ring the call light.

But I survived yet another bad night. Surprisingly, I’m not too depressed . I’m tired but I think I can stay awake until breakfast. I’m looking forward to that all important two cups of coffee. Coffee will get me started for the day. They serve breakfast around seven. Fortunately, I only have to wait twenty minutes.

I called Chocolatechip as soon as I got up. I said I called her around midnight. I told her I had a very bad day. I felt very, very lonesome and depressed. Talked to her about my day yesterday. One thing that made me depressed was not going to that little party. I said I didn’t miss the beer I just wanted to get out of my room.She said hthats understandable. They probability just forgot.

We talked for awhile. I told her it looks like I’m not going to get my roommate’s tv.Maintenance came and took it out of the room. I also told her I want to talk to the Social workerabout my charger she said that is acgiox idea. Then she said she had to get coffee and we said our goodbyes.

Looked over my entry of yesterday  I was pretty depressed. Somehow I must of snapped out of that t bad mood. I feel rather optimistic this morning. I guess I’m on an upswing. I don’t know what it is. I’m glad to be above the dirt. Life is good

9:28am Breakfast was good. I had a slice of ham with pancakes and hot cereal. For drinks I had one cup of coffee and a glass of oj. Breakfast cheered me up . Plus I’m getting great care. I had an  accident while eating breakfast. The aids came in shortly afterwards. They cleaned me up and gave me a clean pair of pants. They said they will come back to give me a sponge barth.

I talked with a couple people about the charger and cord.one said she definitely has one that would work. But it will have to be tomorrow. I would ?Ike to tapk with a social worker.about the tablet things one person told me I have to wait until they are free. Another said she is not in this week but they have a man covering for her. Then this one lady said she could bring a charger and voted tomorrow. It seems to me I’ve been getting the run around.

I’ve also been playing with my Nook app. I downloaded the latest versionn. I can now play audiobooks on it. But for some reason it won’t let me download.I keep getting a an error message that says “Unable to download. Please try later.” I’ve been trying to work with this shi all morning. It is frustrating.

Then I heard I’m getting a new r kLuoommate. I’m only hope he is nice and quiet.

5:09pm I had coleslaw, Mac and cheese, stewed tomatoes, a dinne

r roll and a chocolate cake for desert.eFor drinks I had two cups of hot coffee and a fruit punch. I’m not to crazy about macaroni and cheese but I ate it. I refuse to eat the stewed tomatoes. This was not my favorite meal but I ate it anyways. I’m grateful I had something to eat today.

I must of been very sleepy today because I slept most of the day away. I did talk with Chocolatechip this afternoon. She had a good day for the most par and was in good spirits. She talked about her physical therapy appointment tomorrow. She said she will go to bed early tonight because her appointment is in early in the morning.

I tried to read The Fox and the Lion this afternoon. I could not concentrate for being too tired. I’m on a section about the President as an economist.  This didn’t hold my interest for some reason. The author, James Macgregor Burns wrote about how Roosevelt waxed between liberal and conservative theories on  how to fight the depression. Normally, I would be interested in this kind of stuff but could not get into it today. I would read a few pages and fall a sleep. I hope I can pick it up after supper.

I did manage to pay my rent. Lady from billing came down to get my card early in the afternoon. I got kind of anxious thinking there was not enough money available for rent. But she said she didn’t have any problems. Rent of $481.00 went through. I got it paid. I’m broke now but have plenty of books to read and my bills are paid in full.

They put a new guy in my room. He is very quiet. He has been sleeping since he moved in. I don’t know his name. Something tells me we will get along.

Well, it is close to supper. I’m having a breaded fish fillet sandwich, potatoes wedges and sliced peaches. I hope to have my coffee and fruit punch for drinks Dinner should be coming pretty soon.
