~OK..Why? ~

Today is thursday. :-) you didnt know that did ya? lol..hey..some

times Ive gotten into arguments about just what day it is..I keep

losing the bloomin things !! any way..my point ..lol..wednesdays

they pick up trash..I have a question..WHY do they leave the lid

on the ground NEXT to the can..not On TOP where they got

it from? I mean it started to RAIN LAST evening..and it has NOT

stopped.. So guess whats going into my garbage can? yah.. rain

water..I know the logic as to why- they will say they leave the lid

off it so the can will air out..its 20 degrees out -frozen trash smells?

:-) Wellll no no no..They say you have to have a liner.. they will only

take 1 big bag.pull it out of the can and to the truck.thats it..what

they can carry in one trip..so they flip the lid off- grab the trash and

leave..Ive seen them.. They could just as easily reach in one hand

take the lid off with one, reach in and grab the BAGGED,

unsmelly trash..and put the lid back on the can.. My garbage is

bagged in here and then put into another bag out in the can!

I wonder why tho..it RAINS always the day after trash day it

seems to me!! lol..Sheesh..Thing gets me..last week 3 people

came in here and I mentioned to them my lid was left off the can

I looked out after they left to see if they would remember that I

mentioned it..they had to go right past it.. and none of them did-

lol..go figure..oh well Penny did last week, and tonite Dawn was

here while she waited for a prescription im only 2 blocks away,

and she said when she came in that she dumped the water out

of the can and put the lid on..making the same remark."WHY cant

they put the lid back on?" I said I have NO idea, cuz its the RULES

i guess..No lids do we put back on, i think thats got to be a

garbage mans motto lol. No offense :-)

I want you to know..now..this may be a delicate subject..it is to me

since it concerns a certain part of my anatomy that is VERY

sensitive .. ya.. My BUTT!!! lol :-) no no no..as far as sitting on a

Wrinkle.. I have a wrinkle in my chair seat.. I am still not back on

my cushion..well I have NO idea how this wrinkle got in there..its

right in the back..and about maybe 2. 3 inches from the edge..so

that hits me right dead center of my butt ! and that old fairy tale

about the princess and the pea? well it IS true.. Its driving me

nutz..ok ok Nuttier :-) I think its from folding it up. when I was

going out so much when I was at the shelter.. I still havent gotten

my state ID..I have no idea why..they said a couple weeks..

dont have it yet, might be a phone call day tomorrow..:-(

ANYWAY... sittin on a wrinkle ALL day is not a good thing..the

padding that is in the bottom of my chair is not very thick but it

feels like it may be cardboard in there and a thin layer of foam.

this wrinkle goes from one side to the other .. I may have to get

my other chair from down in the basement.. I still have NOT

heard anything about my powerchair..and well I guess its time

to start doing some real nagging..and just bug these people so

bad they ll do something just to shut me UP~!~ well hey.. they

need to get my chair Yesterday!!! I dont know how many times

I have to stress that but they still take their sweet time.. :-(

My therapyst came from CMH today..Theresa..sweet thing..

I see her every few weeks.. She commented on how nice

the house is looking but was concerned about no ramp yet.

I told her about my phone call from United Way..She was glad

for me.. I told her of my idea to put one on the back of the

house..with a nice deck..but boy the cost of that would be alot.

this place could be fixed up really cute tho.. and its not a bad

area at all ..just a busy noisey street out front..but I dont really

notice.. I did notice tho..that some of the car windows rolled

up tight but I can still hear that thump thump of a radio blasting

can you imagine how loud it is in that car? She and I talked

about what my goals were and what did I see ahead.. I told her

that I dont see what is ahead.. all I know is what I HOPE is

ahead..and that is, that I can live with no worries..no financial

problems..a nice place, I dont think thats too much.. She told me

she thinks that I am a survivor..that nothing gets in my way..that

I do what I have to do, and I impress her with my attitude of doing

what I have to do to live..and not afraid to go after it..That I should

be proud that i could go from a homeless shelter 6 weeks ago to

this great little house..and things going better because I had

fought so hard. !! ....And shes a professional giving this great

opinion of me !! I felt kinda good about that.. :-)

There's a yahoo group I just joined and I wrote and asked Susan

morning..and its just such a nice thing to read..well along with all

my other great mail.... She has some of the most gorgeous photos

good new friends..Like CherryPie..thats what I call her..she makes

stationery for my very best favorite email program Incredimail.its

the need for a nice photo or music and a sparkly name for email.
