Friday 6/3/22

8:24am Mean Bitch was in rare form this morning. I had her as an aide. She yelled at me for some reason. Then there she made me walk to the bathroom. Most aides would put me in my wheelchair but I had to walk with her nagging at me all the way. I was scared shitless of falling but I made it. One good thing was I took care of business in the toilet.

I had a good breakfast. I had pancakes and with scrambled eggs, hot oatmeal cereal coffee and oj. I ate most of it. I just wasn’t hungry.

I feel fairly good despite the the experience with the bad aide. I had a good sleep last night with no disturning dreams. I feel awake and best of all very mild arthritis pain. I’m doing good and I think I’m going to have ave a good date y.

For one thing I get my social security check . I will be rich for a few days until I tspe d it all on rent and book I always feel good when I go have money and can spend it. Not even the Mean Bitch can’t dampen my spirits today.

1:01pm I paid my credit card $860. I was pleased to learn that it was processed immediately. I had $760  available for purchases. Right away I bought three three books from Amazon. God on Trial, Jim Crow’s  Children and The Courage of their Convictions by Peter Irons. These books came to $30 something.

I was going to buy more but I said to !myself Stop! I better take care of my rent first. We had an understanding that I will pay $510 for June. I do not need any surprises or misunderstanding so I called the front desk Nobody in billing was in today. I will have to wait until Monday? If all goes well I should have $218 available for books. That’s ok I have plenty of reading material.

I talked with Chocolatechip on the phone. She is doing ok./ She said some ody rang her buzzer last night. Oh shit I thought. I hope they are not going to start with that. Chocolatechip did not answer pit. She said she was able to get some rest. She wasn up early, as usual. Chocolatechip said she spent too much time outside in the hot sun. She felt sick for awhile but said she got better once she was inside. She talked about doing laundry and keeping up with housework while the caregiver is on vacation

Mostly I slept the morning away. I was very tired I guess. I had a good lun. I had fish, rice and broccoli. The coffee was hot and the fruit punch cold. Lunch lifted my spirits and perked me up. I feel good today

3:40pm I just can’t help myself. Damn me, I bought four more books.i boght the new John Grisham novel, Sparring Partnets. Then I bought a three volume history of the Civil War The Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote. I read these books he fore and they were the best books on Civil War history I ever read. In my humble opinion Mr. Foote was one of our greatest authors. I will look forward to reading these books again.

I have been trying to read the paper but I get sleepy everytime I start. I’m on this one article about how Biden came out for gun control laws. It is an interesting article but for some reason I can’t get into it. My mind,when halfway functioning, keeps racing back  to the books I bought.

I also found out something.i can no longer purchase books on my Amazon Kindle.To buy books I have to go to the web page. This is not much of a problem but I’m still kind of a tad mad. B&N did this last month and it made me very upset. I switched to Amazon Kindle. Oh well, I like the Kindle App better.

Arthritis has really been bothering me this afternoon.. My left leg is so sore and stiff. It hurts when I keep it in one place for too long. It also hurts when I move it.  This is one reason why I have been having a very uncomfortable day on the wheelchair. Probably contributing to my inability to concentrate on the NYT.

5:15pm I’ve been book browsing. I found yet moreh books I would like to buy. I found a four volume bio called The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert A Caro. This is an excellent biography of Johnson describing his life from a small child to his assumption of the Presidency after Kennedy was shot. Caro is excellent and I think he is a two time Pulitzer Prize winner.

I want to buy these books so bad. I read them all all before and have them on my Nook app. Rational me says it is a stupid waste of money to buy them again. Spontaneous, compulsive me says go for it. I already have them in my Nook  But I’m so pissed with B&N I never want to use their products again. Also sensible me is telling me to wait till I get my rent paid. I think i will be sensible for once.

I browsed for books until supper. Supper was lousy. I had some kind of chicken with rice along with wedding soup. I didn’t like it but ate it anyways.  I had two cups of barely warm coffee. But I drank them to get some kind of kick. Like I said supper was lousy but I’m thankful I had something to eat

Today should of been a good one. I got my check and bought some books but didn’t go overboard. Arthritis pain was killing me and that didn’t put me in a good mood. Then  had cold coffee for supper. The day didn’t start off too good with Mean Bitch. Try as I  might she left a very bad taste in my mouth.  I only hope tomorrow will be a better day .
