The Amazing Discovery

This morning I woke up and thought something. I was 95 years old and I had just 1 day left. So I somehow managed to manoeuvre myself and get to my desk. I took out my journal from the draw. I decided the last thing that I’d do would be to remember my fantastic adventures. I opened up to the first date:
1943, 15 June; “Today I set sail from my constricted home and started a new adventure. I built a new laboratory and started calling it home. I knew what I was going to do first. Everybody calls me “Crazy Joe” because I’m always full of crazy ideas. But my real name is Joe Day and I have a marvellous plan to strike it rich.”
1943, 8 July: “I tried many different ways to invent the amazing time machine. Nothing I did worked, but people tell me all the time I never know when to stop, and I guess they’re right!”
1944, 9 July: “I’ve been working on the time machine for a year now. I have gotten part of the chemical reaction I’ve been waiting for. I guess using things like sulfer, oxygen, hydrogen, argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen,ground bismuth, iron scraps, water, soil, Clay, lava, grass, wood and leaves do kind of work. But I’ll need to keep working.”
1954, 27 November: “I’ve been working for ten years now I have finally made it and I’m going to go back in time to the dinosaur age. This is all going as planned!”
1954, 29 November: “I just came back to the present and something terrible happened. A velociraptor bit my left arm off! But don’t worry I’m right handed so I can still write in this log book.”
1994, 30 December: “My business has been thriving for forty years now! My left arm was a painful loss but all this money compensates for it!” At that moment, in the present, I thought to myself,
“What am I doing just reading this right now?!” I took my pen and wrote
2018, 2 January: “I died”.
