Thursday's thoughts

 I'm kind of confused. It's kind of a long story but to make it short I don't know if my trip to the podiatrist yesterday caused the problem but when I got home my large toll was in pain by the time I went to bed it looked like it was somewhat swollen and painful. Once I took off by shoes my toe felt a little better. The pain wasn't there until I touched it or moved it in such a way that it pressed against something. I had a suspicion that this issue might have an impact on my sleep so I wasn't surprised when I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and try as I might couldn't get back to sleep but what is really confusing and somewhat perplexing is that I felt pretty good all day today Sleep wise. I really thought I was going to be one of those yawning individuals sleeping every chance they got are falling asleep as they sat in their chair. In fact as the hours wandered towards 6:00 a.m. this morning I thought that's what I was going to have to do all day but interestingly enough that was not the case except for a little bit around 4:00 p.m. the 5:00 p.m. what I did not out a little bit but that happens almost every day anyway even when I get better sleep so it's just confusing. I'm thankful however that I wasn't that way and then be able to enjoy the day as much as I did or have. I even managed to do 20 minutes of my arm bike so I got my 200 minutes in for the week and even now I don't feel too terribly exhausted.


I can't remember if I've mentioned this but this last week has been somewhat traumatic here at the apartment complex. I guess one of the main boilers on the second floor malfunctions big time in water just came down everywhere in certain part of the building but in order to dry out the building we've had these giant fans running day and night for the past week. Not too traumatic for me anyway just was this constant hum that seem to warble in the background. I don't know about people who had one of these fans stuck outside their door running 24/7 that might be another case. There is also the issue that these fans are pretty large and sort of stuck out in the middle of the hallway- I wish I'd gotten an image of these- - but they didn't really bother my transportation power chair wise I just had to be somewhat cautious that I didn't blast into them. So everything is somewhat back to normal again around the building. I didn't have to leave the building today, I mean I didn't have any meetings to attend or anything like that. I did make a fast Dash over to the market to pick up some fruit for the weekend. And I half- assed tried to pick up the kitchen a little bit but made the problems even worse as my wheelchair handles kept snagging things on the table in my racks and pitching them down to the floor. I finally gave up we'll try again tomorrow and my sometime- cleaning person has indicated she might drop by on Tuesday. I've gotten some what lackadaisical again about cleaning the place and I need to be redirected…
