~THE SCOOP~

Well here is the POOP SCOOP lol... Today started out as awful.. I was
just totally upset, but as this day wore on and is about coming to a close,
it is ok.. I will be going to a Homeless Shelter in the next town. Donnie
will load my things tomorrow and take them to a storage unit. I will stay
at the homeless shelter for about a week hopefully less..

I found a VERY small house to rent for $350.oo a month.. It is only One
bedroom and it has a full basement. It has a screened in front porch
and a garage. It sits on a corner lot and the neighbor hood isnt fancy,
but its not that bad either... if I am VERY careful every month I will be
able to pay the rent and the utilities. Im hoping he will work with me on
the deposit, and let me pay a little each month...It also has a very large
back yard.. I have been wanting a nice place thats private that I can go
and sit outside.. I will need some things for the house, as it doesnt come
with a stove and refrigerator. I will need curtains etc for it as well...
But hopefully it will be just what I have been hoping to have..

The stress from all this has been maddening..Raelynn will even be able
to come to Keystone and help me while I am there.. I just hope it has a
private bath.. I hate sharing... I dont know if they will allow me to take
my computer there or not..hope so..If not Donnie will take it home with
him.By next week end I am hoping that I will be back up on the net.. I
will know more tomorrow when I call the cable office..and the phone co.
etc..I hope I will be able to keep my same phone number...

Now for the MOST important.. Raelynn will take the boys home with
her until I get moved into the house.. They are so sad.. Poor Dutch just
breaks my heart.. he looks so sad..I keep trying to reassure him but
they know.. Raelynn loves my boys and I know she will take good care
of them.. I dont worry knowing theyll be with her.. She will watch over
them for me... She has been so good to me..I dont know what I would
do with out her..

All this packing and trying to help being in this chair, is NOT an easy
thing.. There are so many boxes around, that I get stuck constantly.
My wheel will turn and there I sit..cant budge.. I get so tired so easy.
Its maddening.. I try so hard to do this stuff and to help.. and I just
am not much good at it.. Every thing I do takes me forever..since I
have to make a dozen moves to one step...

I dont know if the homeless shelter will have a computer or not.. I hope
so, then..they may not.. If I cant take mine there, then I wont be back
online until I move into the house. I honestly cant wait to do that. I will
get my sister In Law Yvonne to come and help me.. Shes really good..
and so is Raelynn.. it will be a good thing.. and next summer? I will have
my flowers and a place to sit outside.. All this has gotten me back in
touch with both my brothers.. so maybe that will be a good thing too.. I
sure need it to be..

If I can get online at all..I will be posting..hopefully next week I will be
back here for sure if not sooner.. Thank all of you so much for all your
love and support and worry and care for me.. I am so blessed to have
so many dear wonderful friends.. I am so deeply grateful.. and I thank
God for each and every one of you... Until we meet again.. its time
to say "NITEY NITE" Sending hugs n kisses n all kinds a good stuff lol

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? LUV YA!!! & Thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

~1 down 2 to go~

Well Monday has come and is just about gone, and I dont have
any solution yet, and nothing that even looks promising..
I have received alot of information on places to call etc, but I
have already called most of them and seems they just really
refer to each other..and no one really has any solutions..none
that I have found anyway...

Donnie will be here wednesday to load my things up and I have
no idea where he will even be taking them to be honest. I have
half a mind to tell him to just take it all to the dumps and go back
to the hellhome as my sister suggested then I would have no
more worries, I know I would not last long in there but, well I dont
think I can take much of this out here either...

I tried to get some packing done today and I just couldnt get
hardly anything done as I really wasnt feeling well.. I think the
stress of all this has just gotten to me and I have just reached
the stress limit to be honest.. But well who would want to adopt
a 60 year old fat ugly legless woman ? Im a liability not an
asset by any means lol...

I will be on tomorrow, but I cannot promise I will be posting on
Wednesday .. I just dont know.. As soon as I can possibly get
back online of course I will head here to this favorite spot of
mine and hope all of you will keep checking to see if I am
here again..I sure hope I will be..but I cannot guarantee it
since I have no idea what is ahead after wednesday or even
where me and the boys will be...

Again..thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes..
they mean alot to me...I wish I could write more but I just do not
feel well .. I am so tired..and LORD I need to rest.. just some
safe secure sleep..what a treat... NITEY NITE my Friends..

Y'all have a good one now Y;hear? love you bunches..& thanks..
ALways, Lois ****

~The Countdown Begins~

Sunday today, which leaves Monday, tuesday and Wednesday,
and all my stuff had better be packed because it is being moved
out of here.. I wish I had somewhere to move it to..but right at this
very moment I have NO idea where I am going or what will happen
to me.. I am really discouraged, at this point I just want someone to
phone me and say, "Lois, I have a nice place for you to live, have
Donnie bring all your things here." boy would I LOVE that.. I dont
care what state, although if Donnie hauls it, it sure needs to be
close..The count down is beginning..

I have that lady coming tomorrow from the homeless shelter and
she may be able to get me into a place I have to take the first one
that I am guaranteed to be able to have. I have to be able to take
my boys there as well... This is just the worst night mare I think a
person could go through.. not knowing in just a matter of days If
my animals and I will even have a place to sleep..Its really awful..
and the panic that sets in and the scared feeling.. I am just so
glad that my boys dont really KNOW how careless their mother
has been with their well being..

I am hoping I will have enough money to get a place if and when I
do find a place.. if I have to stay in a motel which will be MOST
expensive.. I should apply for a visa and move to the UK..I think
I know more people there than I do here in the states..let alone
Michigan... I had hoped someone would have something that
needed someone to care for it..like a small cottage or something..
I had hoped Raelynn could live with me..and we could make some
kind of good life..we get along so good.. and she does look out
for me. I would feel better if we had a nice place that was big
enough for her and I and our kids..she has 3 you know.. Shes a
God Send and I am very very thankful for her. And I hope we can
all find a home somewhere. We sure need one desperately...

With all these prayers being said I am sure they will be heard and
some one will come to my rescue.. I KNOW no one wants to marry
me so I guess I will just stay single forever lol.. which is not that bad.
Alone does get to you sometimes, but, sometimes its a good thing
too.. We all need some time for ourselves..

I have gotten so many nice comments from so many sweet , dear
people and I just have NOT had the time and to be quite honest
the energy to write back..But I promise I will as soon as this all
settles down.. The stress is just gotten to me severly but I promise
as soon as the dust settles I will write.. But for now..I have got to
log off and just rest for a while.. I am so exhausted and hungry..I
think I will forego the food and just rest... NITEY NITE... :-)

Y'all have a good one, Y'hear? luv ya..and keep prayin for me..
ALways, Lois ****

~What To Do~

I talked to Donnie today and he will be over here on Wednesday nite to
load up all my stuff, He's going to leave it on the trailer until I know
where to have him bring it to..He will park it in his driveway. And it
will be safe there. We talked for quite awhile trying to figure out
what to do...Seems my nephew is even losing his house, I dont
understand why its so hard to find a home ? Every place I call
they give me some excuse and refer me to a place that told me
to call them lol.. Talk about a circle..lol.
.
I have a form coming in the mail to apply for relocation funds. I
may have to stay in a hotel until I find a place. That would be so
expensive though. I would run out of money and not be able to
pay the rent AND the deposit..and then what if I found a place
that wasnt accessible..or needed a ramp..I wonder what I would
do?

There is a lady coming Monday to assess me..I dont know what
time...I need to find out.. I have so many numbers of places ive
called..even for ads in the paper..which there are a few but none
say accessible and most start at 500 a month.. That would leave
me nothing for other things.. mainly cat food and supplies..not
counting cable and internet...This Ihave to take into consideration.
I wish I could find a place so all I had to do was just have every
thing transferred, my electric, phone and cable I know will take a
few days... This moving is NOT an easy thing..There is so much
to take into consideration that you dont want to forget to do...

I dont know..I sure am running out of time.. I hate to spend money
on a motel...I would end up having to borrow money and I dont want
to do that either, as I wouldnt be able to pay it back..THATS the
VERY hard part.I am just so totally tired.. I really am.. I woke up today
and felt like I hadnt slept at all... I hate when I do that.. Raelynn was
here today and she even commented on my tiredness and its just
probly from all this crying and stress...

I am just so pleased at all the wonderful comments and emails I got
and am still getting..they mean so much to me...To know that there
is some one praying and worried about me.. I sincerely appreciate
it... I am tired and I do have a bit of a hunger pang and should try
to eat something... Time to say "NITEY NITE, Sweet Dreams"

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love ya...and thanks.. :-)
Always, Lois ****

~Paper Everywhere~

Im counting the days..I have so many pieces of paper with phone
numbers and names on I dont know who is what..I cant believe that
it is THIS hard to get a place to live...Its just amazing..and what gets
me is they all just keep referring you back to the same ones.. So its
no wonder I cant keep track of who and what.. I did fill out the app for
the 1 bedroom at Maple Towers.. but no guarantee that I will get it..
I did get a number for a girl named Kelly that was really really nice
and she seemed to know what she is talking about..and is sending
a lady here Monday to assess me..and see what they can do ..If I
cant get into a place I will have to go to a motel...I will have no choice.

I did find a house today for rent..BUT its 400.oo a month plus all of the
utilities..gas, electric, water.. I know I cannot pay for that and all the
extra non food items I will need.. I just could NOT make it a month.. It
seems like a nice place, but only 1 bedroom..and there is no ramp..
its not really a wheel chair house. but he said its all one level and the
only stairs are to the basement..I wish I could..I would LOVE the privacy
of having a house.. sure would be nice.. I still dont know what to do..

I tried to explain this feeling I have when I look around here and see all
my things now in boxes..and it looks so messy in here..LORD...I was so
stupid to do this..I cant believe I did this to my self..I sit and look around
and just cry and feel so totally Useless and can NOT figure out a way to
get out of this.. IF I could prove I had Indian blood it would be VERY
different for me.. but I cant.. I was adopted..we are supposedly Chippewa
Tribe... I would like to know and I have tried..but I know nothing about
anyone..Both my birth parents are dead... I wish I could prove it.. But its
just not possible..not knowing your real heritage..My adopted mother
was born in England..Be nice if I could say I am also a British Subject lol
Anyway.. I am just SO discouraged... Raelynn is working so hard..I mean
she doesnt stop the whole time shes here..I would be so lost without her..
shes very good to me.. The nurse came this morning and drew blood..
tried my finger first..even though I told him to use my thumb..well didnt
work and HURT like CRAZY..so he went to the thumb and of course
drew his blood..I wonder why they DONT listen? sheesh..

I am late as you see..and I do apologize..It was so wonderful to read all
those great comments..Made me feel just wonderful..thank you so
very much I like knowing this is read and that I do have some caring
friends out there.Thanks Thanks..oh..and "Nitey Nite.Sweet Dreams"

Y'all have a good one Y'hear? Luv Ya!! and Thanks~!~ :-)

~One Week :-(~


One week from today you may not see a post from me as that
is the day I have to be out of this apartment. The way it looks as
of today I have NO idea where I will be. None. the way it looks
right now, I will be sitting out in the parking lot. I just dont have
any idea where I will go. I have called every apartment complex
in this county, and no one has anything that I can even consider
getting into.There are such long waiting lists. Then To process
the paperwork takes at least 2 weeks...

I had hoped that I could get into Maple Towers, If I knew I could,
I would maybe then consider renting a motel room for a week and
wait to get in there. Poor Donnie and Dawn they offer but I just
cant access the bathroom in their house...I just dont know what to
do.. I have never been in this kind of situation before.. I called the
lady that helped me escape from the hellhome and she didnt even
have any ideas, no one does..I called the homeless shelter here,
and they dont even have any openings there for pete's sake!! This
is just so totally awful...and not one thing I can do since HUD wants
me out.. They wont even give me a 2nd chance..i just dont see being
that cruel.. but then..its the old saying..Money talks..BS walks...

Raelynn got about half of my sewing room packed today, she worked
really hard.. I should be so grateful..I have boxes all over now.. I think I
should sell that desk and maybe that stand up recliner..but I doubt If
I would get them sold in time.. I had thought about calling my brother,
but I dont know really what he could do..I dont think his house is ok
for me either.. My sisters I know isnt.. maybe I should just consider
going back to the nursing home.. I would have no more worries there.
No more troubles..But then no more life either, I may as well just die
to go back there.. That is really giving up..but I just dont know where
else to turn..

I know I am so very tired. I would love to just sleep, not worried sleep,
more awake than sleeping but I really wonder if I will ever be able to do
that again. My poor boys are upset, I can see in how they react to me,
They both follow me around, stick to me all the time. Bless their hearts,
they sure didnt ask but for a decent home. Im a bad mother..Such care
I take care of my kids.. I am so bad..


Time for this rotten mom to find the publish, and say Nitey Nite :-)
Hope your days are better than mine...


Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya..and thanks..
Always, Lois****

~I Called And Called ~


Ive called everyone I can think of and then some today, I feel like
the phone is attached to my head. I dont know who else to call..
There are just very few open HUD apartments here in town. Well
I called just about every apt complex in the whole county, and there
are not many if any to be found..at least I didnt find anything...

Chris was here today and I talked to him and he said he phoned
Mary Kloster to see if I could get my deposit back which of course
I knew I wouldnt be able to..I guess the lawyer has already charged
them for filing against me...I dont really know who is instigating this,
but I asked Chris why HUD is so determined and wont even give me
a 2nd chance, he explained that if they do one then they will have to
for everyone thats why they cut no slack..So I am just out in the cold
with no place to go and I honestly dont know what to do..

I called Maple Towers and she said they do have some apartments
open but also they have a waiting list . The ones they have open are
up on the 5th floor.But they do have an elevator. She (mgr) said that
to do all the paper work that it would take at least a couple weeks
to process the stuff so I will still be out in the cold...

Monday they evicted Penny. She came home from somewhere and
found them hauling all her stuff out and she had to pay 200.oo for
someone to come and help her move her stuff..It was raining that
day and they didnt care..Chris did it and some other man. I dont
know how some people can be so heartless. And Pennys got a 2
month old baby over there.. They dont care..So if they put her stuff
out in the street why wouldnt they mine.. I assured Chris I would have
my things out by the 28th and I will if I have to haul if out and take it
to the junk yard.. I just cant keep on like this I am a nervous wreck ,
I feel like a displaced person.. and NOT one thing I or anyone else
can do..Ive called everyone I know and their brothers and no luck..

Donnie called this morning and told me not to worry as far as moving
my stuff he has a big trailer that he probly can fit it on to move it for
me..I just have to find a place to move it to..I told him if he didnt find
a place for me I would move in with him..lol..He wasnt too thrilled..
Well I dont know what else to do I have run my limit..I just dont know.
Maybe tomorrow something will happen that I can find a home... I
am not hungry as usual and I am just going to log off and take a rest
and watch tv for a while..see if I can sleep..So its that time to just
say ..:"Nitey Nite and Sweet Dreams" :-)

Y'all have a good one Now Y'hear? luv ya and thanks..
Always, Lois ****

~What a DAY~ :-(


Well today was a crap day. I didnt get anywhere. I called a
lawyer with legal aid and they said to call back Tuesday, the
25th.. Well I got a summons in the mail today to be in court
on the 29th at 9 am. to be evicted. If I move out of here before
the court date I will save my HUD. I dont know how in 10 days
I can get this place packed up and moved, plus find a place
to move to.. I am just screwed I guess.. The man at Legal Aid
said that I can call on the 25th and a lawyer will tell me what to
do in court. I cant do that with no guarantee I will win and not
be evicted.. I will have to move... I just dont know where to or
HOW.. This is so awful and I did this all to my self.. I guess I
deserve every bit of this..

There is an apt. complex in a town about 25 ;miles from here,
and its HUD, only thing is they only allow one cat, how do I decide
which of my boys I keep? They dont know anyone but me.. Plus
the fact I will have to have a deposit..etc.. I know I will lose the one
I had here because I didnt give 30 days notice. I just cant win...

I was thinking today that it seems the harder I try to clean things up
and make things right the more falls apart. I can understand why so
many that are like me get so discouraged.. I worry constantly so I
can imagine how others feel.. To pack all these things up, then to get
them all moved..How will I ever get that done? all before the 29th ?
I dont see how it is possible..I could just kick myself..

I sit here and look at my boys and feel so bad that I have jeopardized
their home..and now have to face the fact that possibly I will have to
give one of them away, and to who do I give them to? and HOW do I
choose between them as to who gets to stay with me and the other
goes to someone else..that may not spoil them like I do or treat him
nicely .. I am such a horrible mother...

Well my nurse didnt show up today either and I have no idea why.. I
plan to call Donnie and see if he can get some boxes and maybe
Dawn & kelli might come and help me pack... Raelynn said she
would help me.. That apt complex is not as nice as this one and it
is not one floor like this.. it has elevators.. I just dont know what to do
I cant understand why I cannot find a lawyer in this whole state of
Michigan that would help me and not charge me a fortune.. I :have
NO idea how I will make this move..rent and deposit? I dont know..
but this sure is scarey.. and I dont like it at all...

I am not tired but I want to try to sort thru some things and maybe get
rid of alot so its less to pack and I dont have alot of time to do this.. I
better not waste a minute of my time..I better get started..time to say
"Nitey Nite"

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya and thanks...
ALways, Lois ****

~I Didnt Do A Bunch~


I didnt do a whole lot today and dont ask me why but I just
didnt. I was going to do some phone calling and just put it off.
Raelynn was here today and I made out a shopping list for
her and then I put a rinse in my hair and took a shower. To do
that is MAJOR deal..I bet it took me over 2 hrs to do that. I
dont know why this shower chair is so uncomfy but I mean I
cannot wait to get my butt out of that uncomfortable chair!
Its awful.. It is just so hard to sit in for any length of time and I
cannot wait to get out of it.. Sure makes you not be a slow
poke in the shower let me tell ya....My stumps actually hurt by
the time I get out of that thing.. To take a shower is a major
thing for me...it is NOT the easiest thing to do..specially when
my hair is so long, takes a while to get it rinsed and all...I was
glad when that shower was done so I could get back in my old
chair.

I have been using my old chair for quite a while now.. I dont like
my new one at all.. it is just too stiff for something.. I dont have
the good control as I do with my old one..This one will move at
the drop of a hat which many many times that has made a big
difference on whether I got burnt or cut etc. I guess if I would use
my new one more it would loosen up and I could maneuver it
easier.. I havent heard from the guy that was going to fix my
power chair so I need to give him a call.. Im just afraid to let him
pick it up and then all this stuff here comes to a head and I end
up losing track of my chair then I would be sick..So I may wait
till all this is settled before I let him have my chair.. But I will tell
him I want a new charger so I can at least charge it up..

I was so pleased to read what my honeygirl wrote on my last nites
post.. Bev your just a sweetie.. what would I do with out you. :-)
Bev is my oldest niece now.. and she has a sister Cheryl .. These
are my sisters 2 daughters.. We lost their oldest sister Rose 2 half
years ago.. Rose was just that ... a rose.. a real sweetie and just
had it so rough...The Lord took her home..and she is no longer in
pain or suffering at all anymore.. But we sure do miss her ..

My sister came saturday and we had a really good visit.. She is
just having a time with this remodeling.. Her and Stanley have
gone round and round a few times.. but then you know how men
are when women try to tell them anything LOL.. :-) He wanted a
new house and not do all this remodeling and my sis just didnt
want to move..so now they are in the middle of redoing most of
their house..I think remodeling could be very trying for any 2
people. Their house should be really nice by the time its all done
though.. Me..well I would have just gotten the new house and
saved all the aggravation and fightin lol..

Well this weeble is pooped..was a hard day today and I am
tired.. I am all stocked up on groceries again and I plan to call
my dolly and see if she needs anything.. I felt so bad.. Donnie
phoned me today , I asked what he did for the weekend and he
had just gotten back from Wisconsin where he went to see his
mom and dad.. FOR HIS BIRTHDAY!!! I felt SO BAD!! I forgot..
I am a horrible person to forget my boys birthday..I promised
him I would make him some cabbage rolls or halupki's.. He loves
those .. So this week I will have to make some for him..I really did
feel bad not remembering..but he knows I luv him..thats the main
thing..Time to hit that publish button and relax for a while.. and
say "Nitey Nite"

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya..and thanks :-)

~New Photos~ :-)



I promised you a new picture every sunday and I took this one
this morning for you.. Its not the greatest but I tried to look just
happy happy even though I really am not.. I had talked to a
friend of mine today and was told that all will be ok and not to
worry that I had many many friends worried about me and that
cared..and I know how true that is..and I cant even begin to tell
you how much that means to me..

This scared feeling of not knowing is so awful..Its like those
dreams I have that I just wander and wander looking and asking
everyone if they have a home for me.. I walk in them, along the
beach.. I come across towns and go into the shops and ask them
if they know where I can find a home and no one knows..So I
leave and continue to wander and look.. I hope one of these times
I can find one..

I had thought of putting an ad in the local paper..seeing what I can
find.. Raelynn said she would live with me..and take care of me.. I
have no doubt she would she is a great care provider..and we do
get along so good..we are good friends as well as the fact that she
works for me.. But I dont consider her that..as an employee.. well
you cant when someone is doing personal stuff like cleaning your
house etc.. The company she works for frowns on that though..They
dont want the client and the caregiver to even be in contact ..only
contact should be while she is here...That is so weird.. A person
needs to be friends with the people that are doing personal things
for you, how can it be any other way? Well we play by the rules
some of the time..but what they dont know dont hurt them or us..

My scar is about the same..doesnt look good and I am really
worried that it may open.. The nurse will be back tuesday.. I guess
one day this week I should get the notice of the court date or if
this has been dropped.. I do plan to do some phone calling tomorrow
I want to call the police station and find out if it is the policy of them
to phone a persons landlord and inform them they were at a tenants
home. I dont think it is but Im gonna find out.. If NOT that means that
someone phoned Hope and told them and I truly think it was Gary
Herndon.. who else if it wasnt the cops..cuz Chris didnt know they
took any thing out of here but I bet Gary did..I think he was out in the
hall while the police were here thats what Jody said and she was in
the hallway while they were here.. I just dont think thats police policy
to phone a landlord and I am gonna find out.. then I will know..

I took this pic of the boys to show you how they are just sticking to me
like glue..they both try to fit on this desk and think the whole thing is all
theirs lol they are so spoiled.. but arent they pretty? They are so much

~Go To A Good Place~


A while back a friend told me when things get bad to go
to a good place, where things were better or happier and
you could forget all the things that were wrong in your life.
To help you get through those bad times.. Or at least let
you have some reprieve from the things that are troubling
you.

The Picture is of Kelli, on the left, and Nikki, in the pink,
and me of course in the middle, This was such a happy
time. We were living in my mothers house and I had the
2 girls staying over night with me, Donnie had come all
the way up by me to vacation with his mom and dad
he and his then wife Shirley had come up to a camp
ground to stay with Donnies parents. It was a really nice
place and Barb and Bill had a wonderful time with all
3 of the girls and of course time with Donnie.

Shirley, was not really pleased with the camping site
and the weather was not the greatest and it was NOT
very warm. The girls and Donnie of course had a good
time. We drove back and forth from the house every
day to see them and then they came and spent an
over nite so we could take them fishing etc. Donnie
loves to fish. He goes to Canada once a year to fish.

Barb and Bill had a winnebego at the time which is a
motor home. They went all over. I believe they still have
it. They are both retired now and can do all that travelling
that they couldnt do when they were raising their 4 kids
Donnie has a sister and 2 brothers. He is the only one
that doesnt live by his parents though.

I met Donnie at my brothers, back in 83, and he wanted
to get away and start a new life somewhere else. So we
offered him a job in our tree service and let him live with
us.. So Donnie and his girlfriend Kimmie, moved in with
us for a year. Then they moved out just before Kelli was
born. Ive known Donnie for a long time. Hes a hard working
happy guy. One of a kind.. And the girls? they are the
prettiest in the whole town as far as Im concerned.. They
are really pretty all 3 of them...Im proud to be their Gran
as they call me...I call them my honeygirls, just like I call
my neices my honeygirls...below is Nikki and Amber..

I have tried this day not to dwell on all this stuff here as the
stress is really getting to me..and I need something else to
think about in my mind. But I keep going back. WHen I sit
here at my computer and dont do anything but read email
or play solitaire I feel guilty like I should be doing something.
yet I know there is nothing I can do on a saturday.. But on
Monday there is alot of digging I want to do..I have to find
out alot of stuff so hopefully I will...

Raelynn came today and we are all squeaky clean, she
cooked up some yellow squash for me with butter and
onions..fried them ..she cut it into slices..talk about good!
wow..they were excellent.. I enjoyed them alot and I ate
BOTH of them..OINK OINK lol..they were good and it was
such a great treat..I sure enjoyed them..So I am not hungry.
I am going to get a soda and play a game of solitaire and
lay this body down..I am tired..was a long day ..Time to
say Nitey Nite, Sweet Dreams...

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? LUV ya ..and thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

~Quiet Week End~



Well the week end is here and I have decided I am not going
to think about this for the next 2 days, and on Monday start
and make a plan of attack so to speak and see what I can
do. But I need these couple days to just unwind and not
think about all this and worry and get over this unknowing
feeling its so awful..So I hope over this week end I CAN un
wind a bit and maybe enjoy myself a little and ease some of
the tension here specially for my boys , I can see how they
act that they are so nervous and they stick to me like glue.

I have alot of unanswered questions about this whole thing
that Chris just refuses to answer and when he does his
responses just dont make sense. I will start to find out and
do some of my own investigating.. I was told today that there
are a few living here that have VERY bad police reports on
them.. yet they get to stay. I dont understand this.. Chris blames
all this rush on the attorney and still refuses to tell me just who
the attorney is...said they didnt want me calling him cuz then
HOPE would have to pay for it , which did NOT make any
sense at all.. Why cant I know who this lawyer is thats so
anxious to push this hurry hurry and get me evicted..

The nurse was here again today and said a new one will be by
on Tuesday to check me over and to look at my scar. Its quite
a mess, and quite open and red. My blood pressure is down
and I am glad, but I knew it was cuz I had just gotten up from a
little nap that I had no choice but to take I was so tired ... I did
show him my left eye, it seems to be infected and it is all red
and blood shot.. JUst seems there is NO end to all of this and
THATS why I hate to go to a Dr. lol..But well I have to keep up
on this I guess and get it all taken care of..I consider all this
CRAP thats going on as a restart and if I am going to I want
to do it healthy..thats the only way to do it. And if my Knight does
happen to come along and carry me off I wanna be able to
enjoy it!!! lol...

I havent heard from the wheel chair ppl and I will have to call them
monday to see what they plan to do..I would feel better if they did
fix it here rather than take it off to their place.. He said it is the
charger thats bad so..he just needs to bring me a charger and IF
my chair is bad he should be able to tell if its repairable.. I would
think he would want me to get a new one just so he could sell me
one lol.. I like my power chair but they sure do spoil you and make
your arms weak.. I need that strength to be able to drag this big
ole weeble butt around!!! I had weak arms Id really be draggin..

Well I am not hungry..so maybe a soda.. I did eat a baked potato
today though so I ate twice this week..I may make some spaghetti
sauce tomorrow and have that over the week end maybe, Raelynn
will be here tomorrow.. I feel so bad for her..the new (to her) car
she bought is sitting on the side of the road in Indiana .. the steering
went out and she almost got in a wreck. This car she got has had
more trubble and sadly the man sold it as is..and I can see why, I
bet he knew all this stuff was wrong and why he got rid of it..That is
so awful to do to someone specially a single woman thats so un
fair, and a horrible thing to take advantage like that.. She paid alot
for that car..looks nice, but once she got it home is when it started
to go bad again..I would call and tell that man off so fast..but she
is so nice she cant do that.. and the man is a COP!!! what does
THAT say??? lol...and its Time for me to say....Nitey Nite...

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya..and THANKS!!!! :-)
Always, Lois ****

~Scared Is A Bad Feeling~

I told a friend today that I have not in a long long time ever
felt like I have now for the past month and I really dont like
this feeling . I am SCARED. I cant remember ever being
this bad, even as I lay and waited for them to take me into
the operating rooms to take my legs, or to even repair my
heat.Being this scared I dont like. and I AM this way mainly
because I dont have legs. Scared is such a lonely feeling.

A dear friend phoned me the other day that was concerned
about me and I have known him for quite a few years but we
never talked on the phone, we chatted and he got mad at me
because I was whining and just being a big baby which I was,
My phone rang and I heard him it was so good. It was like 2
arms came through the phone and hugged me and made me
feel better. A friend from Australia phoned and was so sweet
he made me feel like all over the world the friends I have do
care for me and how my life is going, My friend way down south
and even though facing a hurricane still managed to call and
ask how it was going... This makes me feel so good It really
does...I know I am not really alone...

When Raelynn and Wayne and I went to breakfast and to sit
across from a handsome strong man was so nice, to be able
when I talked to him to reach out and pinch his arm or pat it,
to be able to do that was so nice, I really realized just how
much I am really alone and how much I miss that. Its not the
same to hold one of my boys and cry they love me and try so
hard to make me feel better, I held LB the other day and usually
he wont let anyone hold him ..he let me and as the tears rolled
down my cheeks his little rough tongue licked them away and
he looked so lovingly at me I cried even harder that I had so
carelessly endangered their home. What If I cant find a place
that will allow cats or what if they only allowed one.. How would
I choose between my boys as to which one I could keep? It
would break my heart...I have been so careless..

The nurse came today, he was very nice, and he said he is just
the assessor, and he drew blood and took my temp, I have a
fever and my Blood Pressure is EXTREMELY high, and my
scar on my left stump is looking very serious. He phoned the
Dr. while he was here and she ordered it so a nurse would
now come twice a week to monitor me and they are concerned
about the scar and they will draw blood weekly which is SO
not a good feeling.. They can only draw from my thumb. I will
have a nurse for the next month possibly longer and he
suggested I have a caregiver move in with me.

All this crap has taken such a toll on me. Chris phoned today and
we got in a big fight and he said I cannot talk to him any more I have
to go thru HOPE. He said the eviction will go thru.. I asked him to
just give me some time and I will get out but I need time.. and to NOt
take my HUD. I checked the paper today for houses and apts to
rent and there are very very few and the rent starts at 4 -500 a month
I cant afford that. If Raelynn and Wayne and I all live together It would
save each of us.. What if I couldnt afford to have the inter net? THat
would NOT be a good thing. I only get $603.00 a month to live on.
and it sure doesnt stretch very far, I will have to be very careful...

Well I didnt sleep but a couple hours last nite and I havent eaten any
thing, not since tuesday and i am NOT even hungry .. I will just get
a soda and maybe play some solitaire. I do have my bank statement
I need to balance but I dont think THAT would undo this stress at
all~~!!!!! :-) Probly make it WORSE lol...anyway, hitting the publish
and sayin Nitey Nite, hope your day was better than mine.

Y'all have a good one Y'hear? Luv ya.. and thanks.. :-)
Always, Lois ****

~I Got Happy Too Soon~ :-(

Apparently I jumped the gun in saying Yippee.. Chris was here
today and said the eviction was still going thru that he had the
police report and that was all they needed stating an illegal
substance was taken out of my apt. The attorney for HOPE
Network is the one pushing this...Chris said he informed the
attorney the case was dropped and he said it didnt matter,
that the police report wasnt dismissed and thats what they
have and basing my eviction on that..

I am so upset again and I just dont know what to do anymore,
I know I cant stand this constant upheaval and not knowing from
one day to the next what is happening to me. Chris told me today
once this is taken to court I will have 24 hours to get my stuff out
of here or it would all be put in the street.. I almost cried..then I
called a lady named Laurel with the MI protection and Advocacy
and she told me not to worry if my stuff was put in the street there
were other things more important.. I was so hurt...I thought they
were there to help not make you feel even worse...

It was so bad today that I have to admit I honestly entertained the
horrible idea of just going back to the hellhome, at least there
I would have no worries anymore. To even think that I had
considered that scares me. But thats the extent this whole mess
has taken me to.. I can honestly say I really DONT know what to
do.. I talked to the Prosecuting Attorney secretary, Cindy, she
was very nice, she explained that yes the charges against me
had been dropped but the police report is still available on me.
That because of Michigan's right to know thing that anyone can
pay 5.dollars and get anyones police history. That report about
me is still there. And unless the attorney for HOPE NETWORK
drops this there is nothing I can do but wait for a court date,,
go to court again and plead my case to the judge and hope he
will not evict me.


If this HOPE NETWORK attorney will just drop this and let me
keep my HUD, I will gladly move..but I need time to find a place.
When the PA said I would not lose my HUD he didnt know the
rules of HUD apparently and didnt know what he was really
saying..In other words his saying that ment nothing since they
can still find grounds to evict me even tho on that police report
it says charges dropped.. My real only hope is to go to court
and hope the judge will give me more than 24 hours to get my
things out of here so they arent put out in the street..According
to Chris thats what they will do....

I know you have got to be tired of reading about this CRAP for
6 weeks now and I have to say I am SO TIRED of writing about
this..I wish I could think of happier things.. At least last nite I did
sleep and I am so glad.. I KNOW I wont tonite at all...I just want
this over so bad.. Some one needs to marry me and take me
away from all this..Calgon doesnt know how LOL...Remember
that commercial? CALGON..take me away..those bath suds?
lol I dont think that it can this tho...I sure wish it could, I would
go and buy a case of it :-)

Well ill give your eyes a rest from my whining like a big baby-
there wont be any trip to the fridge tonite or to raid my pantry...
Cuz I am NOT hungry!!! :-) no- I have NO appetite at all..I havent
for a long time..Maybe thats the only good thing that will come
out of this .... I'll lose some of this weebly chubbieness lol...and
quit making those nightly trips to the fridge or pantry..But I will
keep sayin Nitey Nite.... :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya and Thanks.. :-)

~YIPPPEEEE ! ! ! ~

GOOD NEWS~~!!!!! Well I went to court this morning, what an
experience, there had to be at least 2 dozen people there, alot.
The judge was very nice, and he took me after 2 others that were
there so I wouldnt have to wait, which I thought was very nice of
him.. I was so upset, in tears of course, and I told the judge I didnt
know what to say, the judge says "well lets let you talk to the
Prosecuting Attorney(PA) and you and he can come up with some
thing. I followed the Bailiff out to another office and he and his
secretary were there, Raelynn came in with me.. He was very
nice too...

The first thing he said.."you know its illegal" I told him "yes, I
did, I smoked mainly for pain and depression that it really
helped me, Raelynn verified what I had said. He asked my
age, I told him and he then said" You dont look like a drug
dealer", The whole time he is writing in a folder, he closed
it up and said you can go. its all dropped.. I then asked him
about my HUD, he guaranteed me I would NOT lose it. The
lady that was with him said the same thing, "Dont worry,
you will NOT lose your HUD" We all left out of there and
went out to the car and I just cried my eyes out I was so
relieved.. I cannot tell you how much better I felt.. We went
out to breakfast which was a real treat, I hadnt been out
to eat in..hmmm 3 years?no 4.. a long time anyway, It was
so nice to go..Wayne helped with my chair and seemed
like he had been around one all his life.

When I got home my boys were so glad to see me, LB is
still sticking to me.. and Dutch..well hes mad at me for going
and is NOT talking to me.. He will be fine later lol.. He cant
stay mad at me for long...

I had been home for about an hour when there was a knock
on my door, and it was Chris, the apt manager, he handed
me an eviction notice, I told him he needed to call the PA
and he would tell him that all the charges have been dropped.
Chris said that didnt matter cuz there was a report..well I told
him he better call the PA and he will tell him..Chris called me
about hour later and said tomorrow he will bring me a paper
saying I am NOT evicted...I dont know who was behind all
this..but I think it was a deliberate try to get me out of here
by HOPE network...

I am so relieved, when we left the courtroom and were back
out to the car before I could get into it I broke down and just
cried.. Raelynn bless her heart cried with me. I promised I
would never smoke again and I wont.. I cant risk this kind of
thing happening again...But I am going to move.. I am going
to look for a house.. I cant stand living in an apartment...its
just awful.. I hope I can find something..Raelynn said she would
live with me even..which lately I am thinking it may be a good
thing, those nights when I was so sick and here all by myself
made me worry. Tomorrow they will be coming to assess me
for a home nurse. My Dr. wants me monitored more closely.
and I have NO idea why ..

Well this girl is happy and now all I need to do is unwind..and
try to get back on an even keel..I hope Chris doesnt push this
and try to start more trouble for me... I dont think he can.. I
know I really could use a vacation..Id sure like to get away for
awhile..Well now that this weeble has gotten more stable
again I am going to get me a soda and try to watch some tv
and maybe I can sleep I sure hope so.. I was so upset last
nite I didnt sleep at all..my right stump kept jumping up and
down..and ached something awful..Its never done that b4..

Thank you all so much for your support , it sure means alot
to me to know you care about me.. I cant tell you the warm
fuzzies it gives me :-) It does..it makes me feel so good..
and I really appreciate all of you. thank you so very much
Nitey Nite... :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya.. & thanks :-)

~One More Day To Go~



Only 1 more day, and let me tell you I am in a snit. I just
have no idea what to expect. I wasnt arrested or given a
ticket last month, but now have to go to court..doesnt
make sense to me. I know its about to drive me nutz
for worrying though, and its getting VERY old...
Was a lazy day, I did not do one thing but sleep and play
solitare is all I did. The dosage on this antidepressant is
at its full level now and I think thats what makes me so
sleepy.Its a new kind she said and I had to take it in 3
different doses to build it up.. I really dont like the tired
feeling..I finally got the nurses at the Drs. office to do
their job..when I called friday about when the blood
work would be done, she said that she had sent the
paperwork in 2 weeks ago and would call and check
what the problem was. She called me right back and
said "Your insurance doesnt cover home care" Well,
I told her that is NOT true, and hung up the phone and
called the nurse with the insurance company, she knows
me really well...she said" I will take care of it..thats a
standard excuse when they dont do their job" She fixed
it and tomorrow I should hear when they will be coming
to do the blood work and how often the nurse will be
coming...Im glad thats settled..

My boys have been kind of upset along with me, they just
stick to me like glue. Every roll this chair makes they are
right there. It is such fun to go to the bathroom and 2 cats
are right there for an audience. lol..There is just NO
privacy here at all...They are worried though, just like I am.
Not knowing what is ahead, its such a bad feeling.. I dont
like it at all.. I am glad that the boys dont really KNOW what
is going on, they shouldnt have to worry about anything but
whether or not they have food and their litter box is clean.

I have to say though I will be glad when this is all over and
I know if im coming or going.. I hate this uncertainty.. I was
so surprised, my ex husband (2nd) phoned me saturday,
I was really surprised, hes doing quite well and is back in
LA. he seems to like it down there even though his family,
is up here. He hates the snow and cold hes a snow bird.
I guess Donnie or kelli called him and told him I was in a
snit and thats why he phoned..was nice of him to do that,
he was concerned and offered to help any way he could.
I thought that was pretty decent of him..

Well I am going to go and watch tv for a while..as much
sleeping as I did today I probly will be up half the night
now..never fails..As upset as my stomach is its probly
better to stay up than keep dragging this fat butt of mine
on and off that bed 4 million times.. That does NOT get
any easier ..in fact it seems to be getting harder lol...
Time to hit publish and we all say Nitey Nite.

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya, and thanks,,
Always, Lois****

~Bad Word~


I really appreciate those of you that have understood and
not reacted to the BAD word ILLEGAL.. I do know it was,
but I only did for medical reasons..and yes to make me feel
better.. It did improve my quality of life and made me some
times actually GLAD to be alive. None of those 15 pills I took
before EVER made me feel like that. I did risk alot, but I
never went out of my apartment, I was in the privacy of my
own home, but even that isnt safe anymore.

When the Police were here a month ago, they didnt tell me my
rights, they didnt arrest me, I got no ticket or any thing from
those 2 cops..That Brewer handed me 2 blank sheets of
paper and his card, with his number on it. thats it.. Now, WHY
would i think I was arrested? A month later I find out I guess I
am.. This just doesnt sound right..

Ive put out some calls to different friends and even contacted
my brother, none of us know a lawyer or the law.I tried calling
Penny next door but she isnt home either, shes pretty smart
when it comes to this stuff..I cant ever remember a time when
I have felt so confused and up in the air so to speak.. I hate
things hanging over my head .. gives me a headache, and
DONT say "A head like mine otta ache" either lol.. :-) I know,
I know, i have been stupid.. but this is really unfair...but I will
admit when I am wrong..and illegal is illegal..I dont think they
will ever make it a legal thing..there are too many that just
dont understand about how it works and makes you feel..they
have never tried it..and if they are not in the same condition
as the person that would need it.. yet they can judge and say
its illegal.. I think this is a major issue.. I know alot of disabled
that smoke..and I bet most of the people in here smoke.. I know
of 4 that do besides me.. I wish they would legalize it like CA
did..at least small amounts of it..thats better than nothing and
thats about all I ever had anyway at a time lol...

Ive been trying to figure out at way to start to help pack..Raelynn
brought some boxes..smaller ones to put the glassware in..I
dont know what I would do with out her.. Well I would be totally
alone.. there is alot to pack..I should really have a sale and just
have like a open house sale.. walk in and see the price tags on
everything.. and sell it.. Moving is such an expense.. I already
asked Donnie if and when moving day comes would he come
with his truck and he of course said yes. If nothing else I still know
I can stay with Donnie, and put my things in storage. The packing
is what is going to be the biggie.. thats going to take some doing.
I will try to do as much as I can..

I bet y'all will be so glad when all this drama is over hey? Well let
me tell you, not ANY GLADDER than me ... This really sucks.. I
am amazed at the affect it has had on me though.. The stress is
just unbelievable.. not eating, sleeping.. crying alot..and NONE
of it does any good..but sheesh.. what else do you do.. well Yes..I
do that too.. I DO Pray ALot..believe me do I EVER !!! I have
been in worse spots..I guess- although right now I cant think of a
one~!~ lol.. but I guess I have and I still made it through..so I have
to believe that perhaps this is for the best..that now maybe I will
find a nicer place to live that I can enjoy a garden and things like
that.. I Have to HOPE so anyway...you know me.. Im NOT a
Quitter, so until THIS fight is over..I have no choice but to fight it
and do the very best I can...

The best I can do right this minute? lol well its to find my way out
to the kitchen..I think I may make some toast with jelly and a cup of
tea.. I love tea..Ice and hot.. both.. Arizona Ice Tea in the can is
some really great tea..the best Ive had in canned anyway..Well
time to hit publish and say Nitey Nite :-)


Y'all have a good one Y'hear? Luv ya..and thanks.. :-)
ALways, Lois ****

~Ok, Arrest Me~?~hmmm....


I have to go to court tuesday, the 12th, be there at 8:15 am. Do you
know that when I do, I am saying "here I am you can arrest me now"
When the police came to my apartment they just took the Crap and
left, they said nothing, the last words were "bye". Now, with them
leaving like that, why would I think I had been arrested? Would you?
I watch that show Cops all the time, and with all the cops and robbers
shows on tv now, well I have never seen an arrest handled like this.
It says on this paper I should go down to the Police Station so I can
be fingerprinted, before I go to court tuesday, I called and got special
dispensation and they will take my fingerprints when I get to court.
THEN they said I can post bond and get out. Im going to court on
Tuesday so they can arrest me... Im not arrested now.. I got not that
first ticket, nothing.. I dont understand how they can do this.

The bad part is NO ONE will tell you what to expect or anything, I called
the public defenders office before when I still was thinking they were
gonna do something..they told me they dont handle criminal cases.. I
just dont understand this.. I told the police officer, that is no longer on
the force, that they were NOT allowed in with out a search warrant, yet
he MADE me let that other officer IN!~ I had SAID NO..I dont see how
they can do this stuff.. I called one lawyer, he said ,"it will cost you
$1500.oo for me to handle this case. And was sposed to be a free
consultation and he wouldnt even tell me what to expect at court...

I just dont understand how they are doing police work now..I have not
that first time seen anything handled like this. It just doesnt seem fair.
What this has done to my health, my stress factor is really at the
breaking point here. I was told they may offer me a deal if I agree to
go to a rehab or whatever, if they dont charge me... If I have to I will
BUT I am NOT a drug addict..not by any means...The amounts that
I have at one time is ONE at a time, sometimes 2.. but all donated
to me out of having a HEART. What I got when they were here
was a gift, from some special friends I hadnt seen in a year..

I had to go to the doctor, I now have to have a nurse come and monitor
me, my nerves are shot, Ive lost weight, I dont think they have ANY
idea of the affect this has had on me, and SADLY I dont think the
Prosecuting Attorney or the Police care at all..Yet I am told NOT to
worry, I am VERY worried.. The police officer Brewer, thats gone, I
told him it was medicinal, and that I was a traumatic amputee that
I had phantoms..I even explained some of what PVD is.. he asked!!!
I dont know.. And I have to wait till I roll into that court room, thank
GOD Raelynn and Wayne will be with me, or do you know..I would
have to go alone? Isnt that just a scarey thought..

This whole thing has caused me to do some serious thinking, and
serious crying too let me tell ya.. Well I did this to my own stupid
self..I did..and DAMMIT..I WILL fix it.. I will do what I have to.. If I
lose HUD, well I will just have to make some major adjustments
in what I can and cant do thats all..and If Raelynn and I stick it
out and can make her my 24-7 caregiver, well things might work
out.. Being as sick as I have been this past month.. I mean I was
really sick a couple nights enough to scare me..and think that...
"HEY, Im all alone here with only 2 cats" I didnt like it too well at
all ..it did kind of scare me.. And Raelynn is a good careprovider,
shes a certified aide, next to a nurse almost, knowing the MI
course for it..since I am one as well..when I worked, I am also a
LPN, but I havent kept my license up for years..but its something
that you never forget.. So we have done some serious talking that
maybe we could find a nice 2 story house..where we each had our
own space. I think that would work good.. Especially since my
knight seems to have gotten LOST! lol..


Well enough of this CRAP for tonite.. Im going to try to eat something
I maybe shouldnt its almost 8, I hate to go to sleep, when I do the
sooner it will be tomorrow another day closer to that horrible day on
Tuesday.. Lord , I dread that day, If I had legs and feet boy would I
just be kicking the daylights otta myself... I would do it for ya lol.. But
I do want to thank y'all for all the good advice and wishes and great
uplifting stuff trying to keep my spirits up, sure means alot to me.. I
have a question...dont anybody know a "special" lawyer here in this
GREAT state of Michigan?? HELPPPP lol... :-) Nitey Nite :-)
Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya...and thanks :-)
ALways, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

~I'm Honest About It~


I have run into so many down looks and bad remarks that I did
something illegal. I did and..it is true..but Im being honest
about it, I never really ever did hide it..And I know alot of people
with disabilities do the same as me.. Only thing is I was dumb
enough to get caught..So now I have to pay the consequences,
whatever they may be.. One of which I am sure of is that I will
be evicted from here...But who is really innocent and NOT done
something.. speeding..had a drink and drove, took a pen, or
something home from work..who is totally innocent here? I do
know if I have to live in a cellar with my cats and we all eat cat
food the rest of our lives I wont go back to the HELLHOME..I
wont...I refuse to go back there...

Its really a shame though even in the privacy of my own home I
cant do what I want to do.. I dont ever leave this apartment.. I
do yes.. to go to the Doctor..and I guess now I will have NO
choice but to go out again on the 12th when I have to go to
court at 8:15 in the morning.. What an UnGodly hour. Raelynn
said she will take me.. I wonder how they expected me to get
there..THEN when I do get there I have to be fingerprinted...
so once they do that I guess it means I am charged..I dont
know how any of this works..and they sure dont tell you.

Go ahead and say it.. I did this all to myself.. I have said it at
least a million times, how could I be so careless to jeopardize
everything.. I know it.. I deserve what ever is gonna happen..I
just dont know where I will possibly be able to live without HUD
tho..I cant even begin to imagine what I can find, if anything..I
worry about my boys more than me.. Donnie said I can stay
with him..but.. he has a 3 level house.. I would not be able to
access but one floor of it. that wouldnt work..

I guess this is another unplanned restart.. I really think I need to
try to sell my things.. and then I dont have to worry about having
a bunch of stuff to haul around.. I Have some antiques that I
hopefully can sell.. IF I can get hold of that antique person I met
a long time ago..I know I wouldnt get near what they are worth
but I know to make a move I have to have rent money..at least
2 months worth..

I dont handle stress very well.. I honestly dont...I literally get sick. I
have been up now since 2 am this morning cuz I cant sleep.. I
dread the 12 th so bad I actually get Sick.. Nerves can do so
much to you. I thought this was all over after a month ..I still am
amazed they could take their time like this.. I had hoped it was
all forgotten..I sure was wrong...

Well I havent eaten but a little chili that Raelynn made last nite
and I guess I should eat..I sure am NOT hungry at all.. I bet Ive
lost 20 pounds this month with this up and down stress. So its
time to hit publish..and say Nitey Nite...

Y'all take care now Y'Hear? Luv ya..and thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

~I Made My Own Self Sick~


Well today, started out ok, I felt a little better, then Raelynn
went and got the mail, and I am sick as a dog again.. I cant believe
it but when I read that I have to be in court on the 12th of
this month at 8:15 in the morning.!.!.I got sick. A month later..
they send this.. not even a registered letter.. what if something
happened and I HAD moved.. they would have issued out a
warrant for me.. I am so totally amazed..Then I called the police
station and the officer that was in charge..is NO longer with
the city Police force... he left... I also had to call and make
special arrangements.. so that I dont have to make a special
trip down to the Police station to be fingerprinted they will do
that when I have to go to court..... I cant believe this crap..

Well This court stuff is the least of my worries.. now that this
has been filed.. I will automatically be evicted by HUD.. There
is NO way that I can stay here.. I talked to Chris today, and let
him see the court thing.. He told me once he gets this report
that I got.. that the HUD lawyers will automatically file to have
me evicted.. it will be up to a judge how long I will have.. THE
main issue is.. I will lose my HUD allowance for rent.. I shudder
to think of what I will find that I can afford... My rent is only $151.
a month now.. I will NEVER find a place that cheap that is a
even fairly decent place to live.. Plus I will have to come up with
a deposit and probably first and last months rent.. I will end up
a street person.. This is how it happens.. But I guess this was
my own fault, when you do something that is illegal ..you have
to be prepared to take the consequences.. I guess I believed
that former chief of police when he told me there would be no
more response calls to smell in the hall calls from here when I
talked to him before about this. They only responded because
it was the building inspector that called..and if they handnt..he
would have told on them.. Thats what I believe anyway..

Raelynn and her son Wayne have offered to help me pack.. They
are so good to me. She said she and Wayne will take me to
court too.. What if I didnt have her..LORD.. I would have to go all
by myself ~!~ I would never be able to get this stuff all packed.. I
dont even know who else to call .. I may call Becky ..well no I have
a new one..now.. Julia...shes very nice.. I may call her and see if
she can come by and maybe she may know who I can call to help
me pack.. I have a lot of stuff.. I wish I could just sell it all..then I
wouldnt have to worry about anything.. LORD. I just thought.. the
only place I could go would be back to the HELL HOME.. No- I
wont do that.. I dont care. I WONT...I'll live in 1 room first.. if I have
to.. I wont go anywhere like that.. This is SO NOT good.. And
DAMMIT.. I did it ALL to my own self.. say it.. I am.. I KNEW
better.. just didnt think I would get caught.. . . I thought what I did
in my own private house.. was private... guess not if its illegal..
so well.. play you pay... Life is a constant learning thing isnt it?
I just LOVE my life... lol... ya.. Im doing good aint i?

Well time to kick my own self in this big flat weeble butt of mine
and come up with a solution to this.. I had ALMOST believed
this wasnt gonna happen.. a month.. boy thats the state of MI
for ya... lol.. slow but sure... :-) well Im surely NOT feeling a
whole lot better.. and I have got a horrible headache... Say it
lol.. "a head like mine otta ache" lol.. Im off to try to find a
solution for all this crap.. Nitey Nite..

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya.. and thanks... :-)
Always, Lois ****

Ps.. Any solutions.. let me know!!! :-)

~Rough Nite Here~


Last nite was awful. I had a sick cat then I got sick.. I bet I made
a trip to the bathroom at least 10 million times.. I looked at the
time..and It was about every 2 hrs I was back in there, sitting on
the potty and throwing up into a pail I have in there.. Was a horrible
nite..But we made it.. :-)

My boy woke up about 10:30 and seems to be ok.. I have never
been so worried about a cat.. Dutch couldnt even walk straight
he kept falling over.. I think it may have been his ears.. He seems
ok today but hes not jumping and playing.. He seems afraid of
my bed now..I guess cuz he was so sick and I had him up there,
wrapped in my mink cape. I still am going to have him checked
by a vet.. something happen to one of these guys.. I would be
totally devastated.. they are like my ONLY company..

As sick as I was last nite and today, LB is sticking to me like glue.
I was in the bathroom and LB came up and sat on the arm of
my wheelchair..put his paw on my shoulder as if to ask me if I
was ok.. I havent been this sick in awhile..but I think its all like
Raelynn says.. my nerves from this past month have caught up
with me.. Its so scarey tho to be so sick and all by your self.. I
dont have the energy to even go out and fix anything to eat.. I
just want to sleep..and cant even do that for all the times I have
to drag myself into this chair then on to the potty..then back..
its NOT an easy thing.. specially when you dont feel good.. I
know how hard it was to do that even when I could walk and
have to get up and make a bathroom trip.. so doing this now..
dragging my big weeble butt on and off the bed is NOT an
easy thing...

I am sorry for the short posts ..but I just am not feeling well..
Raelynn said she may come over later..shes good company.
We are having a bad storm this evening.. thunder and all..I
hate storms.. hopefully by the time she gets here it will be
done.. She doesnt live very far from me..Im not sure where..
lol..by one of the rivers i know.. which one I have NO idea..
there are 3 rivers in this town.. I know one is the St. Joe..
but the other 2 I dont know.. lol.. no biggie..long as they dont
flood..and Im on high ground here anyway...

I have to go back to my bed.. we all made it thru another day,
and nite..although a few times last nite I had my doubts lol..
Not to worry.. this too shall pass .. I hope lol... time to say
Nitey nite..

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya and thanks.. :-)
ALways, Lois ****

worried tho.. I just have no idea what is wrong with him.. Raelynn
came by today and she checked him...we dont know.. all he is doing
is sleeping... hes been asleep most of the day... After Raelynn left I
got to where I am not feeling that great myself..and decided that I

for the rest of the day.. I am hoping that will help both of us..

~My GrandMother~


This is an old photograph of my Grandmother, my Dads mother.. Her
name was Ruby Deliah. Isn't she just beautiful? This has to be a
wedding photo..as she has on rings. This is the only photo I have of her
in this, and she was very young, and the photograph was taken in the
town where she grew up..So I am fairly certain this is a wedding photo
and had to have been taken in the 1800's. as my dad was born in 1909,
and was the youngest of 4.I have the family tree I could look it up on
but the print is so small I need a magnifying glass to be able to read it..I
had one but its gone..My Grandfather traced the family tree all the way
back to the 1400? or way back then..took him 20 years to get all the
information...its so interesting as it gives the occupation of all the male
members of the family...what is really surprising is the number of
children they had.14, 15 ..huge familys.its such an interesting thing
to read..i enjoyed it. I remember my their 50th wedding anniversary.
was a huge deal..and my Grandmother was just as lovely then as she
was in this photo.. I wish I had a picture of the 50th..so you coul
compare..My grandmother I think was one of those Timeless Beautys
even with age she was lovely. Her hair was solid white when she died..
but just beautiful like her..

I remember her teaching me how to crochet and knit..she would gently
guide the yarn for me..I watched as her hands just seemed to know
exactly what to do without even looking at them..She'd done this most
of her life..and made so many lovely things that I still have..Her tatted
handkerchiefs are just beautiful..I have so many things of hers and my
mothers..they were both so very talented, and I have many things that
they made.

It was amazing when I shut off my computer last nite, the feeling I had,
it was one of..well..I had just told everyone good nite and I had shut my
self off from the world..Was a strange feeling...Although everyone I know
lives in this machine. I dont know anyone else here, I know Penny
next door, but not really, that I would say we are close friends, but ive
known her since the day I moved into this building. Donnie lives about,
well I honestly dont know how far in miles..I know would take him maybe
15 minutes if that to get here, then that depended on traffice and time
of day..so..hes not far tho..but I very seldom see them, we talk on the
phone more, just to keep checks on each other. Updates more or less,
like I do with my sister..If we dont see each other in a week or so one
of us is calling.. I should call Jennifer and see how shes doing.. She
may have a rough go ahead and I hate to see that coming. I worry
about my sister alot..She has so much trouble with her legs, she does
not walk very well now, and I really worry about her. She is strong tho,
more so than me I think.. wasnt for her, I dont think I could have gone
through all I did..She kept telling me,"Come on Lois, you can do this"
I can hear her telling me that so many times, even though I knew she
wasnt right there saying it...I heard her...

Right now, I can hear my fridge calling me to find some food lol..I
havent eaten today and as you see this post is early. Im gonna post
and then just do nuthin the rest of the day but watch tv and just relax.
and of course EAT lol...The boys are off and running to the kitchen
and I am gonna be right behind them..Nitey Nite..


Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya..and thanks... :-)

~SAT DAY~


Well that is all I did ALL day today and made it a real SAT
DAY lol.. I just sat ALL over my SAT.lol... I did get my Inbox
cleaned out and I went thru my style box on my Incredimail.
now, THAT is a Major job, let me tell ya.. But I enjoy it..and
it works really well for me.. I have 5 different email accounts
that all filter thru there. It makes it easier than having to go to
each one of them.. Only one that wont work in it is Yahoo
mail..and I very seldom get mail in that address, the LLL addy
is best to use and my main one...Alot of people are starting
to use Incredimail because its so easy and really great to
use... I like it better than Outlook.. alot better ...

The boys have been fighting really bad lately and I have NO
idea why..they both start it..and they get really mean..Ive seen
the teeth and some of the slaps they take at each other I know
they are not kidding. Then other times they will spend just
grooming each other and get along just fine... Kids I guess its
how they are no matter what kind they are..lol...

Our leaves are already starting to change, I can see trees down
on the other side of the church, where did summer go? I KNOW
all the school kids are saying that same thing. Pretty soon we
are all gonna say, "i'm going to get a head start on Christmas
this year"..then 3 days before you will be remembering THIS
day when You thought it just like I will lol. Time flies when your
having fun... I guess thats true..has it been fun tho? lol.. yeah...I
can say for the most part it has..what I can remember anyways
lol...some scarey but..oh well I think you need those times so
you appreciate the good times more dont ya think? I do...how
else do you have anything to compare it to? lol..

I havent eaten anything today and I think I will make my special
treat since it is the weekend, and being a holiday I think I can
have them lol..They are good..and I just replaced the crisco in
my deep fryer so..they WILL be great fries lol..Time to find
the publish button and say Nitey Nite..

Y'all have a good one Y'hear ? Luv ya..and thanks .. :-)
Always, Lois ****
