Tender Tuesday

 The most productive thing I did today was fry up a bunch of bacon this morning. Since we decided not to have a meeting today I got to spend the day at home not having to go out in the cold weather even though the sun was out which I'm sure made the day feel a little bit warmer than it was. I really didn't have a place to go or anything really to do on the outside so I just stayed in. I really like bacon probably more than I should and I've had this pound of bacon for some time it was a thick cut the kind I think it's used for like real cooking experiences not just bacon and eggs but that's what I used mine today for it was bacon and eggs plus I've got a whole lot of bacon I need to put away before I go to bed. If I don't cook the bake it up at one time thinking I'm going to cook it another time I usually don't cook it up and the meat eventually goes bad. If I cook the whole thing up and then store it in a plastic bag in the fridge it will stay quite a while and I can use it for bacon and eggs sandwiches whatever I need a bacon for if nothing else just snacking. This stacking thing is a poor choice I don't know if it's any better than sugar especially with my pre-diabetic state. Sugar versus salt it's a hard call seems like anything that has any value at all is off limits for health reasons. It seemed like everything I touched today just made a mess of the apartment. I was really hoping that Gloria would make it over today but she had serve an accident and couldn't make it. I'm having a difficult time doing simple things like washing dishes because of the wound on my hand. The Band-Aids that Melissa put on my hand on Monday has stayed in place and I think has done the job even though I have got it wet a couple times washing out coffee cups and frying pans. If there was infection in my finger I believe it's gone away with the intervention from Melissa on Monday. We'll have to check tomorrow to see if the room needs a redressing.


I was intrigued Monday when Melissa told me that she had a new person added to her list of folks that she cares for. This was a 28-year-old quad male who Melissa believes is pretty much at the same level as I am drama wise. Melissa told me quite a bit about her new charge which I worry a little bit about her divulgence of client information but I certainly enjoy hearing the stresses and traumas other folks tend to be using are having. This guy actually has money he's self-pay like me but has her for many hours a week. I guess he actually has somebody with him all the time in case he needs assistance. I don't know how that would be that would drive me crazy. I think I've spoken before about how precious the time alone is to me. Even though this morning it was a bit of a trial getting dressed totally by myself. I didn't even put shoes on today because I kicked them off and just didn't want to have to put them on again. Had the dressing gone differently perhaps I would have gone out and done something today but I was content to sit in with the heat turned off and watch the umbrella Academy
