~He's a Good Kid~ :-)

Was so cute this morning, Penny put bread outside the window

yesterday when she left..the boys this morning have had the best

time watching the birds.. LB was up there first, then of course

Dutch ran him off by biting him and he took over the favorite spot

here on this bench by the window.. There was a tiny bird out there

eating some of the bread..Dutch of course was ready to go right

through the glass, you could see he could almost taste that bird.

When he sees them he gets VERY excited and will claw and dig

and scratch at the window..Looks just like hes waving.. As hes

doing this, jumping up and hitting the window..a car is turning

from the main road to go down this one on the side of the house,

I was watching Dutch but looked at the driver and passenger as

they went past ..you should have seen the smile on their faces..

the woman points at Dutch, and its like they are waving at each

other.. I think he gave them a nice little surprise ..as they drove

by I could see them smiling at each other and then looking back

at Dutch still waving, well looks like, at them..but he was wanting

that bird.. I hope that little wave from my boy helped make their

day.. hes a good kid at heart... lol.. It had to look cute from outside,

and what timing..maybe they needed that.. :-)... I am going to try

to get a bird feeder for out there..and one for squirrels..there is a

huge red one..and a gorgeous black one out here all the time..

Dutch has never seen one before he went totally nutz when he

saw that! I wonder what he thought it was, hes in love with a

clock ..so no telling what he sees!!! LOL...

Today,, well.. to put it midly.. I got SO mad.. I was afraid I was

going to stroke out.. I called about my mail box.. I still cant get

to it , even though I have a ramp.. Penny came this morning and

the door to it was wide open..and there were some VERY

important things in it that easily could have gotten blown away..

I had to call the post office and request the mail be done the

way I suggested before..now it all has to be redone again..fax

etc.. THEN.. I decided that I was gonna just get the calls out of

the way and called my insurance to check on the status of my

power chair..and THAT really started it off.. Well apparently,

the man that came..John.. hasnt even turned the papers in YET!

this was 3 weeks ago he was here? I was SO mad.. I called his

supervisor..and then John called me..and of course had a ton

of excuses as to why he has not turned anything in and blah blah

blah.. I phoned Health Plan of MI talked to Deborah and its the

same thing.. No one wants to take responsibility and blame

each other.. I am SO SICK OF IT.. I cant believe this crap has

gone on since August ! ! I still have NO chair.. I told them ALL

someone better get on the stick.. this is out of hand. If I lose one

finger because of this..well..lets not go there yet as to what I

would do..or how I would react.... ..

I just cannot understand the lack of initiative these people show..

and John is in a chair himself.. he had so many excuses I told

him to just stop it.. I didn't need to hear them.. just do his job.. I

mean.. how hard is that ? he must and Deborah must have gotten

a job description when they were hired !

So..my next was Chris.. his brother Kenny, the maintence guy..

called at JUST the right time.. and said he was coming over to

fix the drippy sink.. I gave him a paper with a list of the things

that needed done and should have been done before I moved in

and werent.. I told him if they arent and CMH comes here and sees

they arent I could lose my grant..NOW... THAT would NOT be a

good thing.. I told him I was tired of getting these promises of the

repairs..the windows , door etc.. and they not being done. The toilet

has a crack in it.. the rooms werent finished painting..I don't know

but I sure went on a binge today..and I hope a lot of ears are ringing

just like my head is from this headache I have now, thanks to having

to get so mad and angry at these people.. I will follow up tomorrow,

and see what has been done.. If nothing..well..then its time to call

a lawyer..this chair stuff is out of hand...which could very much be

the exact case ! costing a hand!

Well Kenny fixed the bathroom sink..agreed the toilet bowl was

severely cracked..and fixed the kitchen sink..the line had a leak

and so did the faucet..said the windows were in and he would call

and let me know when they would be putting them in.. I agreed..

and gave him the letter for Chris, I cant afford to lose this grant..I

dont know if I really would for sure but Im not taking any chances..

They have rules too, Im easy to get along with..but..well..lets do it,

get it done right the first time..then theres no dragging it on and

on..and the job is done..

I was discussing this with a friend..that I just dont do real good in

groups etc..as I cant sit and listen to whining..and boo hooing and

saying they try this and they try that that people tell them .. I do

what I tell me- I know what works for me..by me trying to find it.

myself..what works for me may not for someone else and could hurt

them.. Im more the kind that will kick you in the butt and tell you to

stop the boo hoo and get on with it.. I did to Raelynns client..when he

was here.. I told him.."hey, your still alive buddy, live it..it could be

alot worse"..he was in a chair..but he was improving and would have

his legs..even though he could have lost them, he didnt, look at me,

Im still kickin and aint got none, hes still got a life..THATS the main

thing.. Im one not to cry and boo hoo.. no.. i have .. Lord. I have..

many many times..but then..well I get mad..i do.. and I WILL NOT

let this get me down.. no.. i refuse..but I have to do it..and no one

else can, and when I am in a group and hear this..well I get upset

and you know me.. I say it like it is..and many get mad at me..well.

I dont really care if they do, ignore me then.. but thats why I dont

do groups..or any of that sort of thing.. maybe I am too outspoken

for some people.. and you know..this is bad ..yes.. but hey.. you

still have to laugh and smile..and look for the good..its there..it is

like I said..if this hadnt happened..look at all the wonderful people

I would not have in my life..or the ones that maybe needed a kick

in the butt and told to stop the whining and just smile and get on

with it.. Ive been told I do inspire..I honestly really, dont see that..

but well if I do? thats good.. I hope I do.. then well ..maybe I really

WAS meant to be here..in this "other" world..it aint so bad... :-)

y'all are here.. :-)

After all this STRESS..I was SO upset and mad, just told them ALL

off in NO uncertain terms.. well there was a knock at the door..and

it was Raelynn..she came by to drop off 2 nails..well no not drop off

but bring 2 long nails..that her client had given her, she said "I read

your blog , took 15 minutes to hand up a woolbie, I brought you 2

nails" asked for the hammer, got the step ladder and put them up

on top the door, bless her heart..now how kind is that? .. I had her

lift that wool blanket..just to see how heavy it is.. I bet it weights 5

pounds or more! its heavy wool..so warm..drafts aint gettin thru

that thing..She put in the nails..of course had to pull Dutch off her

pant leg..lol..they love her..and he almost climbs totally up her to

say hi..LB was rubbing her leg..she grabbed her coat , and she was

gone just that fast.. lol.. That helped ease my headache ..

Well talk about a up and down day.. I mean.. I am so ready to just

lay it down, I hope all those I talked to .. . . well maybe I should say

STRONGLY suggested ideas to today will seriously think about

what I said.. this has gotten to the fight stage.. I will NOT back

down.. I will back down to my bed though.. lol.. nitey nite..

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

ALways, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

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