It has been a relatively uneventful week for Joe. The massive Midwest storm has limited travel to only the necessary. No trips. He got to play a little on an extra day this week, but that is not going to be the norm. Mostly he has just been negative and grumpy and complaining.
On Wednesday he complained about what was done at church. Every day he has complained about no one believing he is healed. Daily he has been complaining about not having control of his own life, money, or whatever has hit his mood at the time. This is all cyclical. He will go on rants for a week or so and then be mellow and happy for a while and then go on rants again. All the rants are always the same issues. It is like his mind is a record and when it gets to that spot the music just has to play. Since there are no answers to what he is complaining about, no answer that he can reason out, he just goes on and on. It was much worse when he first came here because we didn't know about the disease and didn't have any experience in dealing with him. Now, it is just the cycle of the month. There is no satisfactory answer and he won't be redirected, so we just let him rant.
