Technicolor to the movies

 I was out of the apartment today at about 10:45 one to catch the 11 something bus that would take me down to the movies down to the Regal where I watch my movies. Today I wanted to watch the next movie in the sequence of Wicked. This is some sort of musical Wizard of Oz knock off in two different movies it's kind of interesting. I have to admit that I enjoyed the movie I mean it's not West Side Story or even The Music Man but I thought it was pretty good. Another perspective of what happened to the dark witch and the black witch or the White Witch. It was a good day for riding the bus I didn't mind waiting out in the cold I had a fairly decent hood on I just had to make sure my patients was right on task. I was a little bummed out because the movie had already started once I got there usually I have to wait significant amount of time and suffer through significant amount of previews but not today. I purchased theater candy which is way too much what it was worth and didn't get a drink which I should have. I'm really going to have to start hydrating better or I think I'm going to run into some problems. I just have a hard time drinking during the day or night for that fact. Drinking my fluids should be that big of a deal but sure seems to be. Now I'm getting concerned about the problems I'm having cathing. I used to never have any issues using the catheter for now I'm just trying to find the appropriate hole to put the catheter in. I hate to be honest and say something like my belly just getting too big. I wish I could write it off as anything but obesity but I think that's what I'm looking at these days. I'm going to try to get myself on some kind of weight management issue program but I just don't know if I'll be able to do anything with the time I've got left. Transfers in and out of beds still going fairly well I think this morning getting dressed was not an issue that went pretty straightforward no problems. I have to take extra strong measures to make sure I'm sitting as upright in my chair as I can otherwise I tend to slouch and when I slouch I can't really raise my leg up with the sticks the way I have been used to doing. Again I don't want to blame my chair too and I think there is something going on there but not as much as my body itself. But I was able to drain a few hours ago however without really having to take all my clothes off and then catheterize. It was a bit of a challenge but for all that fluids I've taken today which hasn't been a ton but I've been trying to be fairly consistent drinking stuff every time I went past the refrigerator. I only passed around 400 ml. Not a huge void but any measure. It was enough fluid out that it stopped pressing the rectum or the intestine that's got the poop and make me feel like I was going to have a problem any second. Once I got the fluids out the other issue stop so I'm okay for now and of course I have Melissa in the morning so I'll be set until Friday. Tomorrow should be okay the only thing I have is some kind of a Christmas dinner here for lunch that didn't really come out right but we're having a late lunch at 1:00 we're having some sort of Christmas meal I don't know what's being provided by management or if it's bring your own stuff or you know when everyone brings a dish I haven't been notified so I'm not bringing anything but I might show up if I can wait till 1:00.
