~Travel'n~

I have seriously considered moving to a better place, one that is more suited to me and where I can have a little better lifestyle namely a garden or patio something better to look at, a place even perhaps that I can have a dog. If I cant move, then I think taking holidays would be good..to travel here, there, anywhere...its been a LONG time since I have been on a trip, many years..I do love to travel tho... At one time I thought nothing of jumping on a plane or getting in my car and driving thru Chicago to go to Racine up in WI to visit my family there. or getting on a plane to spend a month in Hawaii at my sisters..When I was young, in school, my parents always planned a summer vacation for 2 weeks..going to the Grand Canyon or Mt. Rushmore or Niagara Falls..Such wonder ful holidays..I'll never forget Yellowstone Park and that geyser there Old Faithful I think..But to do that now..well.. first I dont have a vehicle.. I did..back in 2000 but I saw no need for a car so I gave mine away..was just a small Plymouth Reliant a '86..was my parents car, as sick as I was I had no plans to get out of the hellhome back then. I dont think I could use it now anyway it was a very small car. I know how to drive but would have to learn all over again using hand controls and I think my drivers license has expired lol. I would learn tho if I had a van and I could get in it..one like ive seen that has a ramp etc...I would travel I wouldnt hesitate, to take off and go and visit someone I know. I had thought of taking that train ride. Its always been a desire to ride the train..I never have.. The Neighbor problem seems to have risen its ugly head again. While Raelynn was out washing the door one of my "neighbors" lets say another resident here..came up to her and said a few things that I am still debating to call and ask her about, but I think I better wait until tomorrow so I can count to 100 a few times and just say TOO much..The apt manager will be here tomorrow and I am just really fed up with this person and I think after 4 years of harassment from them that its time something was done..If I was the ONLY one complained about them be different but I know I am not..No one in here gets along with these people and to have to endure my caregiver coming in here and telling me this person said this kind of stuff that is none of her business- well..its just not acceptable..and today was NOT the best day as far as me staying in a good mood I had a run in with another friend for a while in chat that I TOTALLY disagreed with and got me a bit riled and then this..and a few other choice circumstances..well wasnt the very best of days.Ive counted to 10 so many times I lost count lol.. thats not good ... HOWEVER..lol..now..there was ONE goodie today tho..Becky did raise my hours again..can you believe THIS??? yeahhh I mean I am so pleased..lol..yup I now have get this...this is so good..36 hours... AND 24 minutes a month.. We know how we will divide up the 36 hours but we are just having a hard time dividing up all those whole 24 as in TWENTY FOUR minutes!!! GEE..all in one day? or hmmm maybe a few each day lol.Is that something? 24 minutes? HOW can they figure that it will take the same amount of time to, say..wash a skinny person..as to one that is quite heavy? In NO way can it take the same amount of time!! It is just amazing..BUT I am NOT complaining..Im laughing at 24 minutes lol..I dont dare complain or I will go back down to 16 that the COA was going to give me...So I learnt reallll fast SHHHHH :-D I had the best surprise today too..I have a dear friend..we have chatted for over 3 years I think..and we're the bestest of friends never have talked on the phone..well - my phone rang awhile ago and WOW I almost fell out my chair. it was my friend.. What a great surprise.. I did NOT expect that- was so nice to talk ..just made my day and they let me vent about my "WONDERFUL" neighbor lol...Was such a wonderful treat... I like hearing from my friends..just makes everyone seem so real.. All my friends live in this machine of mine..and when my phone rings or I see a card or letter in my snail mail box ..well It just makes me happy ..well so does getting email..I LOVE it.. To know these few 2 cents of mine that I have NO trouble coming up with every day, are read and liked..well It means alot and I want you to know how much I appreciate it. I had Raelynn pick me up one of those big juicy Angus Burgers from Burger KIng ..they are so good I dont know what the sauce is but they are so juicy and a great taste and I ate EVERY bit of it ..well no I did let my nosy boy have a bite..he was in the bag before i WAS..lol Raelynn set it down and he was on it like white on rice lol.. yess just that fast too!!! he loves that burger.. So I am not real hungry-- the fries were a bit salty and Im not a salty person ..when I have to much I crave water..I have some in the fridge all nice and cold so i'll grab a couple cookies and some water and see what is on the tube... Dutch is already out there on the sink looking at me as though " ok ok come on..lets have a snack " kids..you know how they are..lol.. always wanting something lol nitey nite.. 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...
