~Are You Ready???~ :-)

Guess what again?? well first of all.. i slept ALL night again.. I laid

down last nite and didnt even turn the tv on.just laid down and just

nodded on out.. I woke up this morning at 5:30 with help of course..

looked at the time..I smiled ..2 days in a row now!!! This could be

a really NICE habit ya know? lol..Sure works for me ... I SO needed

this.. so anyway.... :-)

The are you READY FOR THIS part...lol..I got a call about 4 or so..

from Que at Keystone.. yeahhhhh :-D shes faxing the papers and

documentation of the rent being sent to Chris.. MY GRANT WENT
THRU !!!! I mean I couldnt say anything for a minute.. I have my

grant.. I had to stop what I was doing and saying for a minute ..I

mean my chest just was tight.. I was so happy.. the TOTAL body

relief I felt .. I cant believe it.. I have fought so hard and so long..

I was willing to fight longer.. but I dont have to..this is so wonderful

I mean.. I can almost live pretty good!!! If I save up..I can get those

things I need now. The freezer, and a portable washer and dryer..

besides the ramp of course..but thats coming I know.. Someone

WILL come and do it.. I have no doubts..I worry and hesitate alot.

like I did about this grant.. I deep down really kinda felt it would go

thru.but just for self protection I would NOT admit that it would just

in case it didnt..


Im not patting myself on the back now.. at all..but I DID work damn

hard for this.. I mean.. really hard..Im not saying I DESERVE this..

but I EARNED it.. big difference..I didnt take no or wait or ask

someone else about it ..I keep using this term Persevered..I

kept on.. AND..Its NOT over..no no.. the ramp.. and..dont forget..

the APS..and the resource center are going to fix this up..the

shower, floors etc.. I wont let it go.. lol But you knew that didnt Ya?

lol.. But ... my point is.. what about those like me or in the same

kinda situation that maybe arent as strong or well ok..BULL headed

like me...they give up..I feel bad they cant keep on till the outcome

is what they really want.. Some people, bless their hearts just cant

handle a good fight..and WONT fight even.. Me? well come on...lets

get READY TO RUMBLE !!! :-) why I LOVE boxing..lol... get in

there, do your job and then enjoy your rewards..


I did this fight..yes.. BUT.. not alone..I had so much help..D & D..my

special people.. Raelynn & Wayne, Everyone of my online friends

with out the kind words and support..and offers of help..well I had

LOTS of help..and of course if the good Lord wasnt watching over

me as well...well I wouldnt be writing this happy news now would I?

Today was a extremely good day. NOW. its "Dont Worry, be Happy"

and Heaven knows I am SO ready for this..wanna come celebrate

with me? Maybe I will have a big party everyone that can get here

is invited..lol.. I would actually LOVE that !!! :-)

Oh..first day for Penny..is she a sweetie.. So nice..and a great worker.

Bless her heart ..shes a tiny thing and went to the store for me..and

hauling all those groceries in..then helped in here ..she must have

gone up and down those stairs looking for stuff for me a dozen times..

Shes really nice I was very lucky to have found her so fast I just hope

if she ever has to leave me she will at least give me notice to line

someone else up..Thats why Becky wants me to be with COA..they at

least will send a replacement ..The people of the other agency didnt

do that.. which that wasnt in the agreement anyway.. But its worked

out thats the main thing.. And the local COA now has more funds to

have more people on their work list and taken off the waiting list..

So this has worked out too..

Well..these past 3 days..have been great..Im going to sleep great

again tonite.. I got my house..my boys..my grant..theres only really

one more thing that would kinda make it PERFECT ..but lets NOT

go there lolol. I bet I sleep all night again tonite and I wouldnt be

a bit surprised if i didnt wake up REALLY happy tomorrow..well I

probly could wake up a BIT happier even..but like I said..lets NOT

go there lol :-) I aint sayin neither what IT is..lol.. Nitey Nite :-)

Y'all have a GREAT one.. Y'hear? LUV YA ! and THANKS :-)

could NOT have done this with out all of you in my corner...

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe

until I write again..
