Sunday morning in New Diary

I slept in today. I didn’t get up until 8:30. I had a bad night. woke up with a terrific headache. Arthritis pain is manageable. It is sore in the hips this morning. Onbe a scale of one to five with one being the least pain I would rate the pain as a one.Still I fee very stiff and had a hard time moving around.

I had two or three bad dreams last night. I remember one weird dream I had. I was dreaming there was this private gambling club in Atlantic City. It was at a time before they had legalized gambling and it was backed by the Mob. Anyways I was secretly a member of this club. I was an important figure in the city campaigning for have these gambling clubs closed down. But I had a big time gambling addiction and owed money to the club I was in there one night trying to bum money from people so I could gamble. One guy told me to f off. I hocked some valuables so I could get money. Also I was with this one woman who was not my wife. She wouldn’t give me money either

I did a lot of reading last night before going to bed. I am reading this one book called Plan of Attack by Bob Woodward. It is about the plans the Bush administration made to invade Iraq. The goal was to oust Sadam Hussein. Even before 9/11 there was a belief that Sadam was a threat t o the region and he had to go After 9/11 Iraq was put on the back burner because of Afghanistan. When that war was winding down Bush wanted plans drawn up for an invasion.

It was believed at the time that Sadam was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction. Also he was working with terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda. Sadam kicked out weapons inspectors in 1998 There was pressure in the administration from Collin Powel to work with the UN and force Sadam to readmit the inspectors. Bush was doing that but at the same time preparing for war with Iraq. He felt the only way to bring peace in the rregions was to get rid of Sadam.

I was washing clothes while reading. I had my clothes in the dreir. Somebody came along an opened the drier door. I checked my clothes and nothing was reading. But they were still soaking wet. I had to fork out more money and put them in the drier again which caused me to stay up late last night.
