Powerless

I'm sorry I'm sitting here hooked up to my charger trying to get a fast charge to make sure I have enough power to let me finish doing the things I need to do around my apartment before bedtime. I only need to let the charger work for an hour that will give me enough juice to make sure that I don't get stranded somewhere between here and my bed. However because my chair has run down on power as quickly as it has I have a load of blocks in the dryer waiting to be picked up that I will not really consider picking up until tomorrow. I think I'm okay regarding the safety of my clothes unattended in the dryer. I'll just sneak in there tomorrow before coffee and get my clothes in the basket and drag it back to the apartment and fold the clothes sometime tomorrow afternoon. My odometer are mileage whatever reads I've only done 2.1 miles today and I charged it all last night. Fortunately those miles took me up to the bus stop into the hospital where I met with my physician and home again. That's all I really wanted to go to today it's really cold outside however still that's really not very far for a full charge on the batteries. So tomorrow one of my phone calls is going to have to be to the wheelchair shop to see if they've got an approval on another set of batteries. This should not really be a problem with this what it wouldn't tell me giving up the chair again for another night while they take my chair in and stall the batteries and bring it back. Seems like it's always something really gets tedious.


I suppose you've heard the news Trump won last night and that really is kind of dreadful if not frightening. I'd like to just shrug my shoulders and say oh well that's politics but that being politics is that it just might get me involved in the backwash. If this guy does what he says he's going to do or what he wants to do which is basically carve up the social services programs in the country IE Social Security that could have a major impact on me in my lifestyle. I just don't know how far the idiot will go. In fact I'm thinking of ordering a number of my supplies just to make sure I have a year's supply in case things get little dicey. I'll have enough stored away to be able to develop a survival plan if there is one- - survival plan. Everything from housing to transportation to Medical could have an impact on me if things start being cut. I think I'm most hopeful that my housing will stay intact. I think I'm okay with my pension as far as some of the money goes again the big issue is going to be Social Security and well let's stay intact and if they start cutting how much are they going to cut? I've got my my food supplies in my closet is most of you know so I think something were to happen I'd be okay that way and I can live out of cans for a while. Medication could be an issue hopefully I'll be able to get by. Hey saw my position today we went over some of my reports I've gone from  diabetic the diabetic. I'm not hardcore and it seems like I can still maintain with drugs and that's cool. I am going to have to start looking at possible Lifestyle Changes particularly in the area of food as far as starches and sugars go that could be a pain in the ass.


I've been charging now for about 20 minutes I think I've got enough to get through the rest of the evening and let it charge all night and hopefully I'll be okay tomorrow. I've pretty much got all the things I need to have done out of the Apartments done for the week. Only have to go across the street to coffee with Janet on Saturday then up to D's restaurant for lunch with Marc Anthony on Sunday. I'll get by..
