In a late news flash they are thinking of reconsidering their vote on net neutrality. I guess they've been flooded with mail disagreeing with their decision. Congress is voting on a whole lot of things including the dream act. Trump almost acts as if he's open to keeping the dream act for the children of illegals. But Trump can turn around on a dime just like Steve Bannon did about that book out last week. Now he's praising Jered Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. Politics is turning into one big soap opera where the authors of the thing can't decide what plot-line they want to go with. Do the good guys win? In good news it's over fifty degrees in Chicago these days after a nearly two week deep freeze.
Last Thursday the room was cleaned for bugs and they were alone in here for hours. I have discovered
another item missing. It’s that ceramic
square picture thing I got as a gift one Christmas. You add this to the TV manual and the fire
exit map, and also the two calendars, and my missing confirmation number and
Chase bank statement and two store receipts with my balance on it, plus a
Christmas card or two.
Last night it was the
ABC network news and Jeopardy and a dash of “Wheel of Fortune”. The medication line was long and lasted well
past seven thirty. Earlier Bill wanted
me to go to the bakery and buy a pack of four cinnamon rolls for a dollar, and
Bill gave me the dollar. Bill ended up
giving me two of the rolls. But Bill got
sick from the other two rolls, or maybe it was the two packaged burritos he
ate. Bill says he felt really sick. Later after seven thirty he wanted me to go
to the store and get him a can of Sprite for 75 cents and he let me keep the
quarter. It didn’t help. Bill got into an argument with Kathy out in
the front lobby. Bill told me that he
doesn’t want to lie down and go to sleep because “I feel so sick now I’m afraid
if I sleep I won’t wake up”. Apparently
he wanted to go to the hospital but the ambulance was really late in arriving. We watched NCIS and then that “Bull” show”. After nine Bill left the room and I went to
bed at twenty after nine, not knowing whether Bill would be right back. I heard Denise come in soon after this to get
the laundry. I hope Bill gets the treatment
he needs.
[material deleted here] I lay
in bed and got up at five o clock and showered and made myself instant
coffee. It must have rained again last
night because the benches were still wet.
I turned on the Bill Press show since Bill wasn’t here to talk about the
TV news. Leah did the morning medication
again. Normally Ricardo does the
medication Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
Today I got cough medicine. The
Stephanie Miller show came on. Denise
returned the laundry at a quarter to seven.
Everything was there, but I had to figure with last Thursday in mind and
which clothes I wore longer and which ones I didn’t. I wanted to get coffee at the store but Ben
wasn’t ready yet. It was kind of a lousy
breakfast. The oatmeal was late and mine
already had milk on it and it was cold and really lumpy. It tasted strange. The sausage patty was cold. We had a crescent with butter pats. Jerry let me have her sausage. At least the coffee was hot. I went back out to the store and got a large
cup of coffee for a dollar and a quarter and took it too my room. I opened the shades. One thing is Bill always likes it so gloomy
with the shades closed so he can sleep or something. I was in better spirits after drinking the
coffee but I woke depressed about the way my whole life is now.
Last night’s program
got me to thinking about what a joy it is to have kids and see them grow up
right and say “I accomplished something”. I think to some degree most every Born Again Christian by necessity has to live a double life and compartmentalize things. But if they grow up wrong or have severe mental problems it’s a
different story. Of course like with
Princess Charolette it’s amazing to see a child come into their own
developmental personality and how it exciting it is to see them learn
things. The next program was about a guy
who had gotten psychotherapy and went out and wasted two people with a
gun. And the people picking the jury
wanted people who were analytical able to detach objective “reality” from
emotion. Of course what they are really
looking for is a bunch of cold hearted robots who vote the way they are
brainwashed to do.
Now you not only have
sloppy Steve but sneaky Dianne. Dianne
Feinstein on her own released some controversial material on President
Trump. I’m not sure whether it has to do
with the Russian prostitutes. Bill Press talked about this on his
show. Stephanie also talked about Trump’s
activities. In the old days like say
2012 I’d be doing long paragraphs about President Trump right now but I just
don’t have the energy to do that these days.
We all need to just scan the news ourself and form our own oppinions. There is a lot of talk about invoking
the 25th amendment, which is more of a pipe dream than anything
else.
I actually made morning
snacks for the first time in a while.
Jennifer brought Gabby today and she was wandering around the courtyard
searching for food. I got a lemonade and
a graham cracker from Valerie. I called
Judy just now and she was a little puzzling.
She said the reason why Mom was restless before in the hospital was
because of the drugs she had been given.
I asked her whether Mom was mobile in a wheel chair going outdoors or
anything and Judy said no. I asked when
Mom would get back to her apartment and Judy didn’t see that happening. I asked what would happen to all her
stuff. The whole issue about Mom possibly
having stage four metastatic cancer of the spine was left unresolved. Either she does or she doesn’t and someone
needs to find out because it has profound implications. It’s almost as if they know she does have
cancer but nobody wants to think about it.
