~Time To Start Again~

First day of a whole new year ahead.. Me, I think of today.and I do think
about tomorrow and next week but I dont worry about the days as there
is nothing I can do about what is going to happen until it does..I do worry
tho..I think that should be my middle name.If someone tells me something
I ask sometimes if its something I should worry about..Ive always been
this way. I dont consider it worry. I call it that but I think its more concern.
Like if I dont hear from someone in a while and I worry that something has
happened to them.. but it really is concern and caring....


I did a bit of cleaning and dishes and did NOT make a mess while making
some spaghetti sauce today.. I used a dutch oven which is a deeper pot..
its just so hard to see.. If I lean up to look i take the chance it would pick
that time to bubble and spash on my face.. I do use a mirror but you cant
get close enough to really See cuz it steams up lol...I figure if I keep up on
everything iin case I cant find a caregiver again for a while..it wont be so
bad..and if my sis brings me that carpet sweeper i should be ok. and COA
said they would do my shopping but thats all..I dont want to NOT use their
services cuz then they give you a hard time if you restart them..They send
that rude nurse to evaluate people she is so NOT suited for that job...


A friend told me about a tray on last nites post, that would be just great for
me I think. well my neighbor Penny came over, shes had the flu, seems to
be going around again, hope I dont get it, we exchanged little gifts..and I
was telling her about this huge cart I have and about the one my friend Judi
told me about and I had seen on tv. It turns out she has one of those trays
they sell them right here at a store..for $30.oo she said. Its really nice be
perfect and its quite sturdy, she brought hers over and I was amazed how
nice it is..I will have to see about getting one, it would be perfect for typing
too.. Perhaps I need two lol...One for here and in the kitchen..then no
having to tote it around...

The humidifier is working great. No more sparks..However I had a heck
of a time carrying a pail of water back & forth, took 4 trips..to do it.. Was
NOT easy I was so afraid I would spill it.. I did do it ..but sure took a long
time..but it works great..I can sure tell a big difference in here and the
boys are happy too :-)

I want to wish everyone a very happy new year..Im so glad to be
starting a new year with so many great new friends this blog has
brought me .. I am going to have a great year I know it..hope yours
is too...Well its snack time..the sketti wore off lol...time to refuel..
again. so restarting from the kitchen :-)

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...

    This will be the year when I will try to get a lot done. The first thing I will do in the new year is try to reach out more. I hope to get back into school at my age and see if I can figure out how to get people to live together peacefully such as in my house and enjoy life.

    Hi Momar,I think that is the hope of everyone, to get alot done.

    Perhaps you need to concentrate on one age or sex to rent to and not a variety, there would then be more in common? More reason to get along?

    My Aunt & Uncle had a boarding house and rented only to elderly gentleman, served breakfast & dinner. But they all had to pitch in on dishes, and no one else was allowed into her kitchen lol There were 6 rooms upstairs, and a private entry and Living room for them downstairs. They enjoyed it for many years. My Auntie referred to them all as her "Men". It was a very nice place. Everyone got along.

    They were all our grandpas to us kids. I dont know who made out better all us kids having so many grandfathers or them having so many grands.! Have a good day... :-)
    Always,Lois***
