Wednesday 4/6/22

7:44am I made it through the another lousy night. I had the usual problems. Arthritis pain was very bad. I also had incontinence and diaharrea problems. As usua. Then I had nightmares and woke up screaming a couple times. After that the second time I couldn’t get back to sleep. I couldn’t get much help. I think an aid came to change me around two. She didn’t come back until six in the morning to get me in my chair.

I had such a bad night I was glad to get out of bed. I sat in my wheelchair until breakfast. For breakfast I had had hot cereal, two slices of toast and an eggs. Break was good and I ate it all. I feel ok now that I had something substantial to eat.

While eating breakfast lady came in to speak with me. She was one woman who promised to bring in a charger for my new tablet. She brought two of them and neither one worked. I talked her for her efforts. I asked how am I going to get a new charger? She said have tried talking with anyone from the nursing home? I said I’ve been trying to talk with a social worker. She said she will try to find somebody today

In the meantime the old tablet is working fine. I am a bit proud of myself. I had a B&N Nook app on the old device. It would not support audiobooks. I had to figure out that I had to download and install the latest version. I did this and after working out a few bugs I can now listen to audiobooks. Sonow I can do everything on the old tablet that I could on the new.

I bought a couple of audiobooks last night. One is by James Patterson The President is Missing. The second is a Stephen King novel, Rose Madder I read Rose Madder a long time ago but it is worth a second read I also bought an ebook James Madison and the Struggle for the Bill of Rights by Richard Labunsky. I think this makes eighteen books this month.

Well, no more books until May. I’m definitely broke. But the rent is paid and I have everything I need. Life is good.

6:37pm I had a good afternoon. Lunch was great. I had chicken. Mashed potatoes and zukinni. I had two cups of hot coffee and a glass of fruit punch. I had ambrosia for desert. Lunch perked me up and put me in a good mood.

I bought at least five more books this afternoon. Now I’m really broke. Like I keep saying I have the rent paid and all my expenses are covered. I love books so what the heck? I will get around to reading them it might take awhile but I read every darn one of them.  I have nothing else to do but sit on my butt and read.

I did a lot of reading today. I read my book FDR:The Fox and the Lion by James MacGregor Burns. I’m almost finished with this book I think I have three more chapters. Next up is volume Ii in the series FDR: Soldier of Freedom. This book is about Roosevelt during WWiI. I thoroughly enjoyed theses books and give the author a five star rating.

I read a couple hours then chatted with Chocolatechip until supper. I was a bit hungry because I didn’t get supper until after six. I had a dotdog, baked beans and two cookies. I drain one cup of cold coffee. I shouldn’t have eaten the bake beans because they give me the runs. I hope I will be ok.

This was a fairly good day. I had three decent meals. I got good care. I was able to buy more books. I did not experience arthritis please ain nor did I have too many incontinence episode. It was a very good day
