~Food~

You should never make out a grocery list when you are

hungry...:-) like going to the store hungry..THAT is a

HUGE no no...Ive done that and I have come home from

the store with so much JUNK food..well was good stuff

but not for a nice full meal..And I would get stuff that I

could open on the way home and snack on if I hadnt

already opened it when I was cruising the store! :-) I

munched all the way home..then by the time I got there

well I wasnt hungry and who felt like cooking then? I

enjoyed the stuff that said "to open: tear here" I can't

tell you now many times I could NOT find HERE!!! lol

Seemed the hungrier and more desperate I was for

something to eat the harder it was to open.!!! :-)

This hand..well its really more the bottom part of my thumb

that is burnt..the top as well..quite a few places got hit..

not really where it rests - as I dont have anywhere to rest

mine..But when I grab the wheel on this chair..or try to do

a fast scoot..(well sometimes is necessary) its not easy

cuz its like anything else..you always seem to hit the sore

spots..I got the top of my hand as well..but they are just

little spotty places..well some are kinda big..they are just

red, no blisters like at the thumb...I enjoy cooking I always

have..but when it gets to be an ordeal...and something

you really have to WORK at..with also the fear of being

maimed, or cut or burnt..it takes the enjoyment out of it.

When I do decide to make a nice big dinner.which my

favorite is a nice beef roast with mashed potatoes..and

of course the GRAVY...MMM some baked corn..yes..

good stuff..and easy too..The things that are hard for me

to do are the prep..peeling potatoes..or cutting up and

dicing stuff like onion or whatever..the position I have

to sit in to peel potatoes, I pull my garbage can up to

the front of my chair and rest my arms on my stumps and

proceed to peel them same with onions..but if I stay in

that position for too long with that added weight on my

stumps..boy do they let me know right quick to move and

find a new position..they REALLY ache..I guess cuz I'm

cutting off the circulation which is already bad from the

bypasses Ive had. I keep that wooden tv tray in the kitchen

as its a good height for my chair..just perfect..I just wish

that it was on wheels...

I feel so sorry for those people out east..I dunno but the

way this weather is changing..it just seems these storms

and downpours of rain..it seems its so angry and mad..

the weather EVERYWHERE has gotten so violent..and

mean.. Its scary.. I know here theres no where to hide..

I head to the bathroom when it gets real bad here and the

boys usually follow me where ever I go..I keep their travel

case in there ..might need it never know..and I would rather

be safe than sorry or endanger my boys..Speaking of my

boys.. I made LittleBoy so mad a while ago he actually

growled at me lol..he did, the stinker..guess what this mean

mom did? ALL I did was try to hold him.!.He got furious..

and his ears went flat down on his head and he got so mad

well ha! guess who the HEAD kittie in THIS place is??

well HE knows now AGAIN.. MOM rules..I held him down

and refused to let him go..I kept petting him..rubbed his

ears..and I think by the time I let go of him he got the idea

that I AM the boss ..He sure was mad though..didnt even

LOOK at me for a few hours..Dutch ran when he saw me

grab LB to hold.. I know what he was thinking."SHE AINT
GETTIN ME" :-) rotten kids..naaa I would be really lonely

with out their company..we understand each other...

Now that I wrote about food..I KNOW..say it...go ahead..

"her next words are..headin to the kitchen" I know lol

hmmm ok..lets see..ok..lets change it to this....lol

TIME for grub..rub a dub dub...:-)

Lunch was again something that doesnt need mentioned.

and ohhh yes.. I did get cable back.. at 10:45 this morning..

I was glad.but I am keeping AOL for a backup..Comcast is

NOT dependable..their excuses were everything from snow

to a car wreck..lol.. apparently it was a problem down where

they keep the access panel here, I guess someone was in

there fixing things..probly providing "certain" residents with

free cable..which has happened before..Its fixed and I will

be fixed here in a minute too..soon as I find that Grub,, and

hit that publish thingie.. Nitey Nite :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya, & thanks! :-)

Always, Lois ****

May God Bless you today,

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
