I slept really well last night. I walked this morning around 5:00 a.m. managed to stay in bed till a little after 6:00 a.m. then pretty much got up to start my day. I don't know why I slept so well but I think it might be that I had new sheets on my bed. I don't know when the last time I had the sheets changed it's been a while, months. Just seemed like so much effort to ask my caregiver to make my bed. This is kind of difficult because I don't really know what the caregiver supposed to do aside from the very Basics that she does for me. Basically toilets me and helps me shower and she will of course help dress me after that. If I don't make the bed myself she will throw the bed together and that's good I appreciate that and there are times when she's actually swept the floor and mop the floors or scrub the floors. I don't know what to ask for and what is not part of the service. I'm fortunate that my caregiver really likes me and so she does about anything I ask her to do. Like on Wednesdays after she gets me on the toilet I have about 20 to 3 minutes of downtime she takes off and puts my dirty clothes in the wash and then as she leaves she takes the dirty clothes out of the washer and put them in the dryer and starts the first round of drying and then takes off leaving me to just finish the laundry for the week. She says she does this because I'm so nice to her. I make a rule to have her favorite candy bar available as well as other items I know that she likes like potato chips, cookies and fresh coffee with milk available. In the past I've had her cook rice for me, cut up watermelon and spot out problems with my power chair when I have them. 98% of the time I would think that she can actually fix problems I'm having with my chair and if she can't, then I find another alternative for chair repairs if needed.
You may have noticed that I did not say anything about going over to the coffee shop this morning and that primarily is because I didn't go over to the coffee shop this morning. I don't have somebody to go to the coffee shop with and I'm getting tired of just sitting at my table by myself looking like an idiot. So today, I didn't sleep in, after I got up I went to work on making my breakfast. I don't have the time to do this when I go to the coffee shop so this was a real treat. I took the baked potato that I cooked the other day, out of the fridge and sliced it into pretty thin slices I also sliced up a can of spam which I fried both in peanut oil. I didn't have any garlic so I've been using the ground garlic powder that somehow I've become an owner of. The small container relatively speaking and I think I like the alternative better than having to chop up garlic. Some ladies dropped off a large pile of onion tops you know those green things that come out of the onions you buy at the market. It was a bit Overkill but I took a couple of those and chopped them up and added to the concoction then let the whole thing cook for a significant amount of time to Brown both sides of the sliced up potato pushed everything to the edge giving me a fairly decent space in the frying pan Which I then cracked a couple eggs into. I left the eggs in and they produced a nice sunny side up. Our harvested the eggs and the potatoes in the spam and put them in a dish. There is more than enough product to make a decent breakfast for me and then enough for me to put the rest in are on a paper plate and then the top of the refrigerator to be used for the next couple of days. I really do like cooking but I hate the fact that I tend to explode the kitchen when that happens. Today wasn't too bad still haven't cleaning to do on Monday but for the most part I had a pretty good breakfast and a pretty good day and sometimes that's all you can hope for on a Saturday…
