Monday Morning in New Diary

I am up and in one piece. Thank you God. I had a weird dream. I dreamt that I bought a used Ford at a car dealership in Wellsburg. My dad used to buy his Fords from this place all the time. They had this one salesman we dealt with us. He new my brother. When I bought the Ford he was still working there and we talked about my brother for a long time I even remember the payments It was $268 a month. Dreams are very strange sometimes.

I watched Obama last night. I thought he gave a good speech. That was a terror attack. The two shooters were radicalized. But he said they were apparently acting alone. They were not linked to ISIS nor were they linked to any domestic terror cell. I liked the part where he was saying there will be no combat troops in Iraq and Syria. I think that would be big mistake and we can get bogged down in those countries and end up creating more terrorists. I also liked the part where he said we should not turn on each other. We should not hate people who are Muslims nor should peaceful, law-abiding Muslims living in this country face condemnation. I think it is a fucked up religion but if people want to believe in that that is their right. Anyways I thought he gave a good job.

Watched a movie on Encore Western last night. It was called Wild Times. Ity stared Sam Elliot. He played a marksman. Thought it was kind of boring but it was good to see Sam Elliot Also had Ben Johnson. It must have been a very old movie. He did look pretty young in that part. Good stuff.

I feel pretty good this morning. Woke up without any pain That is always good. Arthritis has been acting up lately. Almost every morning I am in pain in my hips and knees. Also feel so stiff. But today I did not have any pain. It is a good feeling to wake up and be pain free.

I hate having arthritis. I hate not being able to do the things I used to be able to do. One of the things I enjoyed was walking. Used to walk all over downtown Weirton. We have a hiking trail and I used to walk on the trail. One time I walked all the way up to the Pennsylvania state line and back Now I hardly leave my apartment.
