Monday Morning in New Diary

This was a good morning. I did not experience any arthritis pain Life is good! I was by 7:30 today. Made my coffee and it turned out good. I spent the morning reading Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham. It is about a series of stories experienced by Sebastian Rudd. I was reading He takes on clients nobody else will defend. in the opening he was defending a loser of a kid accused of raping and murder of two girls. He was innocent of the crime but cops picked him up and accused him of low lifer. Rudd was able to get him off by obtaining DNA evidence of the real killer. I was reading the next case about a gangster who is about to be executed. He is behind a series of bombings that will not stop unless the execution is halted. Enjoying this book by one of my favorite authors.

Today is the last day of the month. I will get one of my SSI check tomorrow I will be going to the bank and Wal Mart. Going on the social service van. Not really looking forward to leaving my box but I have to go out and get some groceries. I don’t plan on buying too much just coffee and pop and a sub for supper.

Since this is the end of the month I’ve been going over budgets . I think I will be ok. Got one more Snap benefit of $64. This will mean I will only have to spend about $90 on groceries. Then I have rent to pay for $216.75, Comcast of $170 and a computer payment of $133.55 This comes to $520.30 I will have $212.70 left. This should be a good month for me

I have been thinking about quitting smoking next month. I see my doctor on the 4th of December. I[m going to ask him to put me on nicotine patches. I think I will be ok but the more I think about this the more anxious I get. I wonder how I will act while off cigars. The very thought of not smoking is making me smoke even more. I figure I might as well enjoy the nicotine rush while I can.

I have to quit smoking. I am getting short of breath and doing a lot of coughing Then I keep thinking about coming down with cancer. I don’t want to end up going through chemotherapy in Pittsburgh. We all hit the bucket sooner or later but going by cancer is definitely not pretty. I am enjoying my life and have a lot to live for and want to be around for a long time to come So I will be joining the ranks of non smokers as soon as I get the patches.,
