12:47 lunch is over. Steve & Nico visited with apples and blackberries and blueberries.
blood pressure has not yet been measured. Just finished a Fuji apple.
Steve seemed startled that I would wash the apple with soap and water in the sink in the room.

Supposedly I have a dental appointment later today. With a full-blown Dentist as opposed to a
dental assistant.

13:01 Just did 50 squats in my bathroom.
15:33 Just finished editing all of Helen's Harvey photos. Taken by me but Harvey is Helen's dog.

An unexpected two calls today from the office ofSenator Elizabeth Warren. No idea why.Roommates are calming down.
A funny dream last nighr. It is September 1964. My grandparents drove me and some stuff to
Cambridge. They are now making the long drive home to Riverdale. I am standing on the street across from the main entranceto MIT (77 Massachusetts Avenue) the Student Center is right
behind. Still looking across the stree a figure emerges, walkin fast, almost running. He turns to
the right picking up speed as he descends the main entrance steps to the sidewalk. Holy shit. It looks like me. Once I hit the sidewalk the run contines for a few more steps. A sudden right turn and I am
headed into the heart of the campus. 50 yards and the Laboratory for Nuclear Science is directly to
my left. Front door is open or offered no resistance. I go in wandering around a bit till I encounter
two postdocs. Of which I imagined myself becoming one. They offer little trsistance to my
irrational selfconfidence. We engage. I take out my Socratic Method cudgel and go to work on them.

I had a dream about you serving a tour there driving a Humvee. Can you tell me if there is anything to that dream?
END OF EMAIL.
Huge BM during my Friday shower. Nothing since. 50 squats last night in the across the hall bathroom and
shower. One of the support bars in the shower was loose. I ripped it completely off the wall. Better to remove it
than leave it for someone who needed support to bring it down with their weight on it. A public service in my mind.
There are at least two other support bars in that shower that were securely attached.

A Film ABOUT POWERS OF 10:
http://twistedsifter.com/videos/powers-of-ten-by-charles-and-ray-eames/
Got washed and changed late morning.
Bank Balance as of yesterday around Noon: $428.00
Spent an hour outside with Bob Slate today.
A dream about Cynthia and her parents.
When he died there were a series of letters he left, supposedly for Cynthia. But her mother got to
them first and destroyed them.
The rest of the dream was that in the letters he confessess to having sexually molested Cynthia.
Currently no way to confirm or verify that.But enough of a reason for Gladys to destroy them
and prevent his legacy from becoming a perverse tragedy-mainly as opposed to a successful B-17 pilot in WW II.
15:00 just finished a walking session with Carley. Three trips up and down the first floor long hallway. Managing to keep my eyes and head up and my posture straight. Still no sign of my good
running shoes.
16:30 Just had a small BM, greatly aided by my walking today.
Screaming roommate all day. Finally asked the staff if they could do something to provide me
some relief from hours a day of this. Two people talked to him. He is quiet now. Now it starts
up again.
17:10 ANOTHER BOUT OF SCREAMING
`8:54 Just finished supper, quitting down,18:23 back to screaming
New series of photos updated today:Black-crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)NTheyycticorax nycticoraxNycticorax nycticorax
They can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/search/?sort=date-taken-desc&safe_search=1&tags=bcnh&user_id=48344648%40N00&view_all=1
or, here: flicker.com/rlg/tags/bcnh
Outside my window, high in a tree in the park behind the building I can see a
large bird shaking/ruffling its feathers as if throwing off dust/dirt/pollen. Could
be an owl or hawk. Active for at least an hour.
. In this time I have seriously thought about getting my camera out if only to use the telephoto capability to see what it is.
18:51 Still fluffing the feathers.19:17 still fluffing. Time to end this screen day.

Can I get a new pair of the blue shoes?

in a style that only DA can do. Currently in my 3rd hour of watching. I hope it never ends.
My shoes are still missing. WHCC HAS STILL NOT replaced the shoes they gave me a year ago.
May have found the charger for my razor. Currently charging.
Trying to get my first shower in a week.
Spent an hour with Emily doing exercises in bed. Always a pleasure with her.
Ant Mountain is over. Listening to Erik Satie.
Cleaned out one of the cardboard boxes in my room. A couple of mice jumped out and
frightened several CNAs. Listening to the broken record of my roommate screaming for
his wife to take him home.
Bright red cardinal sitting outside my window.
Had a dream about my granddaughter running into my room and shouting:
Grampa, Grampa you won a Nobel Prize in physics and I have Nobel Prize genes!
I've asked a CNA about a shower so I can escape the screaming for a few minutes.
Now he's cursing me: shithead, I will pay you to take me home.
Help me god. Over and over...
Do you, dear reader, know anybody at the Boston Globe that would like to write about my
experiences here?
The other roommate is being put to bed and cursing and threatening his caregivers.
19:19 Just did 50 squats in the bathroom. Did 50 last night in the bathroom across the hall.
A CNA in the room promises to help me with a shower.
19:45 just finished a shower, feeling better, by Michelle.
The screamer appears to be falling asleep. Nope.

You really must take a look at these Van Gogh like pictures of Jupiter taken by the Project JUNO spacecraft in 2017: http://twistedsifter.com/2017/12/jupiter-up-close-looks-like-van-gogh-painting/
Juno is NASA’s current mission attempting to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. The spacecraft is equipped with a suite of science instruments including several high-tech cameras that have been transmitting incredible images back to Earth for processing and analysis.
Juno is NASA’s current mission attempting to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. The spacecraft is equipped with a suite of science instruments including several high-tech cameras that have been transmitting incredible images back to Earth for processing and analysis.
Close-up images of the gas giant are awe-striking and the patterns and colours have drawn comparisons to van Gogh’s iconic impressionist-style paintings. Below you will find 10 images from Jupiter taken by Juno that look like van Gogh himself could have painted.
With the exception of the sun, Jupiter is the most dominant object in the solar system. Because of its enormous size and the fact that it was likely the first of the planets to form, and it has profoundly influenced the formation and evolution of the other bodies that orbit our star.

17:33 JUST GOT WEIGHED: 162 POUNDS, DOWN FROM 174 about a month ago.
Reasonable BM today. two sets of 50 squats in the toilet. Nearly an hour in physical therapy today with C. Went very well. Aided greatly by the use of my recently found orthotic.
James Fasci bought me another small compact razor. Rechareable USB port.It shaved my upper lip perfectly. The rest of my face not so well. The previous razor was battery operated, easy to clean and gave me a better shave. Green Apple Shaver is the current model.
20:51 Just spent 3+ hours talking books and writing with Bev. She has been watching a tv series about a Mormon family where one man is married(sort of) to four women.
We talked Trump for more than an hour.Every conversation with her is a pleasure. There's only one
other woman I can say that about.

Friday evening Cynthia is by for a tryst with her latest. He has a spatula shaped penis. Could be used for flipping pancakes or giving gals spankings.
Anyway my potty mouth had some comments designed to make fun of her dallying so late.
Must have struck a chord as she and Dan agreed to take me downstairs for a few moments of fresh air
and relief from the heat in the room.
We reached the LL (Lower Level) where I spotted my shoes . For some reason I didn't get my hands on them and woke up back in my room and bed.
Finally got washed this morning by a CNA who was not offended by the BM she found in my pants.
Another small BM just after lunch.This one was precariously controlled as my shoes are still lost in
the laundry. and sox dont give me much stability.
There is no safety call button/chord in the 306 bathroom. If someone like my self fell I'd have to yell till I got someone's attention. Code violation I believe.If you have some sympathy for my condition
you can email Kyle Lussier( klussier@watertownhc.com with your concerns.
Seeking contact with someone at the Boston Globe.
Getting washed and a change of clothes left me feeling much better today.

TUESDAY, April 3, 2018 possessiveness
reflection for the day and a favorite quote
I am not and never have been pos-
sessive. I consider possessiveness
to be the most dangerous and un-
derrated of all human vices.
The Boston Globe PETER USTINOV NOV 17, 2001
No wash or change of clothes today. I am almost thinking the staff is being paid to ignore me.
Someone is on the money trail for me. Like with Nixon, follow the money.
Got a cup of hot water with dinner. Asked for a cup of coffee-hot milk.
CNA TOLD ME THERE WAS NO MILK. I think that was a lie.
The universe has consequences for those who dont tell the truth.
Going to ask once more. 20:08
20:14 Charles is heating a cup of milk for me. She will bring it to my room.
She is heating it in a styrafoam cup. Just arrived. Cooled it with an icecube, added chocolate.
Should help me sleep.
