Wednesday's alarm

Reader beware this might be a short blog. For some reason my stomach feels upset tonight and I want to stay close to the toilet not that'll do me any good just because I can't get on to it by myself. I'd have to have an accident and then get a hold of my caretaker person who then have to come over and clean me up. This is so weird it's beginning to happen more and more just like the bed issue last week. I don't know if this is a signal of change in my ability to live independently but something seems to be happening. My caregiver says it's all in my head and I want to believe her but she's much younger than me and somewhat naive but she's also very bright in many ways and she's always willing to come in about the Call of Duty. This morning for example I was having a piece of toast and it seems like if whatever I'm doing renders any smoke at all like when I'm cooking and are making toast and I like my toast somewhat crisp and dark the fire alarm goes off I thought I just went off of my apartment you know the flashing light and horrible sounding signal blaring for what seems like eternity. I didn't pay much attention to it this morning I've gotten so used to it and I always thought turned itself off if I opened the doors to the outside or to the hallway. And they turned themself off in good time then I got a knock on the door and it was from resident advisor of the guy who sort of steps in there's nobody else to help and emergency situations like a fire alarm. He asked if I was okay and I appreciated that held up my piece of toast and I said I thought it turned itself off he says he turned it off. That's the first time I learned that that happened. He always calls or comes over when I inadvertently pull the string on the wall which I guess lights up his area and if they don't hear response goes to the county it's just pretty weird then you got firemen showing up at your apartment. I suppose I should be happy that they care enough to have a working fire alarm anyway. Not that I've had a fire but I do produce a lot of smoke from time to time with my attempts at cooking especially toast but I don't see myself changing anytime soon. Hopefully we'll work something out. Wednesday wash day and that means I need to stick around relatively close by to make sure that I get my clothes out when they're dry and are on the dryer stops. I used to just automatically put in another set of quarters for a second drive but I stopped that take out the clothes as damp as they are hanging ones up that need to try just hang up the rest of them in that closet. This works out pretty well but it's time consuming. Then I do an hour on my arm bike which turns out to be about an hour and a half when I do the cool down and everything else after the arm bike ride. I also went to the market this afternoon picked up some tangerines and some bananas. I really need to have more fruit in my diet. And that was it for the day actually I didn't do any reading or anything just seem to be focused on trying to get the immediate things done. Hopefully tomorrow it'll be warmer outside though it was pretty warm when I did finally venture out not perfect but I could have been out in the sun earlier today maybe tomorrow and for sure this weekend at some time
