~Packers Won~ :-)

Well...the Packers won today..was a pretty good game..I
was pleased they won..I lived in Green Bay for about 3 yrs.
I was always a Packer fan..Being from the Upper Peninsula,
Green Bay was the closest major team we had next to Chicago
or Minnesota maybe..Most chose the Packers..Farve is really
good.. They showed a close up of him..Rugged looking and
needed a shave..but hes a great football player..Does a great
job and to see the power he has when he throws is amazing..

I worked on the house most of the morning off and on and took
a couple update photos for you..One of course HAS to be me
in it lol..But thats my Sunday promise anyway..a photo of me..
even though there was one here yesterday..The boys are very
content..although they are fighting for who rules I think.Dutch is
challenging LB..made him so bad..LB's ears went back his tail
started twitching and he actually STOMPED towards Dutch every
other step he would kinda lunge at him and slap..Dutch DID back
up lol. LB wont step down from being the chief..may be a different
house..but dont matter..I guess Dutch figured he would give it a
try tho..just in case..He found out REAL fast..LB was mad..

I received a question in the comments today about how do I use
the potty..VERY CAREFULLY lol.. the potty I had at the apartment
was higher..and there were railings along the side since it was up
against the wall..well in a corner..The one here is lower, I have had
to get a riser for the seat to make it level with my chair..its a piece
of white plastic, lift up the seat and lid and put this there and the seat
is higher..It works really good. I pull straight up to the toilet..and I
lock down of course..now I am facing the Back..backwards.. I do not
turn around and sit the "normal" way.. I just scoot forward and sit
backwards lol..easy..no fear of falling..well yes always a little..but its
alot easier. When I was a sak I did stand and turn and sit the regular
way.but now, I dont want to take a chance of falling just to say that
I sit the "normal" way.. Id rather be abnormal anyway LOL.. :-)

No one really showed me or told me how to do the potty routine guess
they figured at the home or even the hospital that i would just Know.
I decided on my own I wasnt gonna turn my big butt around and risk
falling off that thing..no way..so I do stuff the easy, fast, and safe way..
It works..just a little crowed.but with short legs its not too bad.If I can
keep this nosey cat of mine off my lap or between my legs when I am
trying to do my business I would have NO problems at all!! Dutch is
weird.. Hes perverted.. lol..watch his mother potty lol..how rude hey?
I told you we are a weird bunch hanging from this tree here :-)

I appreciate the question, like I said before many times. I dont mind
sharing what life is like now for me..it aint easy.. Ive been trying to
figure out a way to get those boxes from the basement so I can go
through them . I am hoping Donnie will come over a couple times a
week for a while so I can work on them other wise I have NO idea
what or how to go through them.. Tomorrow the calling begins.. I
guess the rate I am going getting a ramp built I better call that Dr.
tell him I just cant get down there..I have an appt the 21st..I wont go
thru what I did before when I went..that was awful..Maybe the Doc
will come here..I have to get the deposit stuff set up..I managed to pay
80.oo to ward off the shut off..but now I have till the first to come up
with the rest of that one..Then I have to make sure I send this form
back in to see if they will help me pay at least half of these.. Chris called
friday said he would be here yesterday and I havent heard from him so
I dont know whats what... I do plan to call and check on the grant tho..I
just need to really have PROOF that it went through..then all the rest I
can try to work out.. I keep hoping someone will take me up on my offer
to come spend a few days with me. Everyone is chicken I will put them
to work. :-) well it wouldnt be THAT hard work :-) lol..I can do it.. but
would be nice to have some help...

Well I have some of that good spice cake that Raelynn made ..it is so
good, I'll have a little taste of that then watch the tube.. You can see by
the photos I been busy! :-)

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

I would love to see the UK. lots of friends there all over..could be a HUGE party !!! lol all at Raifes! lol Wait till he reads this lol. he wont mind ..lol..
