~With A Little Help~
The upkeep on a large 2 bedroom apt is NOT easy. Jane was here today and she helped me move my powerchair into my spare bedroom and we moved stuff around..So much easier with her help..If I had to do all this moving of chair, table, sewing machine etc, well I just wouldnt have been able to in one day by myself..She got so much done today .. she's really good.. My laundry done and the spot for the 3 in 1 is ready..all I have to do now is set the printer up..I can do that..its heavy but I can slide it onto my tray table I have maybe, but I didnt today... They brought me a cart to use in the kitchen .. I wanted well hoped they would find me a nice small wooden type like a tea cart or a tv tray type that was on wheels..they brought me the kind you see in a restaurant..for the dirty dishes..when they clean off the tables. Its huge..and only 2 of the wheels go in a circle which is ok but really all 4 need to move..well spin around, for it to be really maneuverable for me.. I needed something I could work off of at my level..This is so big..and I hate to be ungrateful..but the room it takes up is unbelievable and I cant get close enough to work off of it..and its still too high ..*sigh* I keep going while I feel pretty good then my arms start to ache and my stumps from leaning forward and putting pressure on them but I dont realize it till later when they start to really ache. and tomorrow will be worse probably..But I may have company and I wanted to get this apt straight.. I just cant stand messy closets..lol..or stuff everywhere. I just need a good cleaning out of stuff I dont use or need, ya.. i know just how much will be gotten rid of ..NOTHING.. just moved to another spot..I know..I did do alot of bending today tho since my sewing room is such a disaster.. I need a better set up in there and in here.. I kinda miss looking out the window when I had my puter in there even tho I did only look at the parking lot of the new apts next door..I saw the weather lol..Now my back is to the window and then my bed and my computer desk is at this end of the bed.. I'll figure it out.. I was amazed tho that there wasnt a cable outlet in the spare bedroom or a phone jack..odd... I think the change in the weather is making my stumps ache to day tho..Its raining and most of our snow is leaving..can see the ground in lots of spots and I didnt sleep that great..I think my mattress needs turned or something maybe..ive had it this way since I moved in.. not been turned, flipped or anything..Could be why my back aches sometimes..I mainly sleep on my back..I cant on my left at all cuz of the bypass that goes down that side..To lay on my right side I have to keep a pillow between my stumps as the left is longer and then puts pressure on my hips..and then they ache..WOW..what a mess hey? well I mainly sleep on my back until it starts to really ache then I sit up and sleep that way..sometimes I sleep better that way.. I did that when I was in the hellhome just to be able to breathe better...I had at least 6 pillows there too..now I have..7 on my bed Its a double bed, but the way I sleep its a king..lol..plenty of room.. and the boys like sleeping on the woolbies my sis makes for me out of polar fleece to cover with..they are so snuggly...a woolbie for a weeble ...too funny.. :-) Well I am off to bed...I'm really beat..watch some tv..QVC was OFF for the Christmas..I like seeing all the neat stuff they have . I should watch they might have some knives LOL.. still havent found that little green paring knife..ratz...oh, snack tonite is crackers in bed..lol. . Y'all have a good one now y'hear? luv ya..thanks... Always, Lois*** May God Bless you today, I'm so honored to call you friend, I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again... | |||

regarding knives: I have a different knife for each purpose. It is difficult to use a new knfe for a new purpose. Ah but to eat and enjoy. I love the French word melange or mixture. Somehow after I microwave a dish of food its flavors mix and I sit there moaning at the great new combination of flavors.

Good Morning Momar...I agree there is nothing better than good food. Funny how we get attached to favorite things we use tho...I do miss my little knife. I cant imagine what happened to it. Its gone..WAHHHHH ...
hope you have a good day..

Dear Lois,
One of the frustrations of being good at D.I.Y. is not being able to help people who really could use some help, like a well known weeble of my aquaintance!!! I'm sure I could fix that trolley, if I could only get my hands on it!! My Russian friend is having trouble with her car and I bet I could fix that, too. We are all in the wrong place at the wrong time!! ;-(
Love and hugs,
Raife.

Morning Raife, I have NO doubt you could fix most anything you are as handy as a button on a shirt..lol..
I don't have a car, so that is ONE less worry for me. & That is a luxury I certainly cannot afford.. :-)
Always, Lois ***
