~How You Sit Matters~


My boy is a climber as you can see.. I was taking a photo
for tonite.. great one hey? lol.. well my mouse is a red lazer
kind..and for me to take a photo away from my desk I have
to take the mouse with me.. he saw the red light..jumped up
and hit my hand.. and you see..we are looking for it lol.. He
goes nuts when he sees lights and shadows.. silly kid.. I
always put a new photo every Sunday, and I keep my word,
so this is it..lol..I did good this week though with photos. I
have to say.. I got the nicest compliments on those 'tour of
my chair' photos.. . I did like the first one my self.. It was a
very natural one..and just me..:-)

I do sit like that a lot and I was asked "do you think that it helps
those you are with when you sit sideways?" I think yes, it does,
If you came to visit and it was a very relaxed time..we were
laughing telling stories or what ever.. I think the position I sit
in would make whomever I am by, feel that I was comfortable
as I hope they could see, which would make them feel that way
too.. If it was a more serious type of conversation..then I would
sit straight on and look like I was SERIOUSLY interested..well
not to say I wouldn't be sitting sideways but..well you know what
I mean.. :-) a more relaxed serious lol..

Its the same thing as to how someone firsts reacts when they
have seen me the first time.. like my brother..he was sort of
at a loss for words...I could see that, he kinda smiled.. and as
Im rolling up to him I said "hey you..ah .just call me Shorty now"
he laughed and we went into the living room and the tension
seemed to have been broken.. That little girl when we talked
about the cat and her feet .and she realized I DIDNT have any
the look was "ooops" that she thought she had done some
thing wrong..which she hadnt .. I made a joke out of it..she
went on..and hopefully the next person, she will know she can
still be her self..and be open and say what she wants to..
But I think the way we ..well I , sit does make a big difference
if and WHEN anyone should decide to visit or "carry me off?"
lol. My Knight is still lost, him and his horse, bless his heart,
I hope he finds his way soon lol.. :-) maybe Wednesday ..it
IS SWEETHEARTS DAY lol.. you forget .. your in trouble ..

Not a whole lot going on today, I had some concern for a friend
and expressed it and apparently was taken wrong and has
caused some problems, that have me a bit upset..I don't like
to be accused of something I havent done or would even slightly
consider doing, I have considered the source and decided to
just sever contact which is best..but any way..

ok..one more thing..lol. this new well rental chair? I got those 6
legs STUCK. I had put it in the bathroom ..very carefully..and
when I went to take it out of there It didn't make the turn into
the living room.. I had to try to clear my kitchen table..so my
lamps didn't fall off to be able to make that turn. I tried to back
up..but the 4 small tires each turn..the 2 big ones dont..they
stay one way they turn yes but are drug by the 4 smaller ones
I had to move the table to be able to even back the chair up
which I had no choice. my manual was in the bathroom.. I
don't know how it made the turn OUT of the living room ..well
I did bump the table. but.. I made it into the bathroom .. I just
didn't have enough room to maneuver back in..the wide
sweep is in the back.. I will call them tomorrow .. There is
no point in me having this and rental being paid if I cant use
it..this is ALOT bigger than my other chair .. my other one
is no bigger than this one im in .. So tomorrow will be a
phone call day again.. I have a bad headache already.but
I did get a jump start on that a while ago..

Time to get some hot tea I think and try to get some sleep
I slept ok last nite and woke up with my boy under my
chin the TV was on and the clicker in my hand lol.. I was
tired.. Nitey Nite :-)

Y'all have a good one Y'hear ? love ya.. and 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..

    Hi,Honey,
    Thanks a bunch for the pics - they get better all the time!! That power chair is more in the nature of a TRUCK - it's not even an articulated truck, which might make things easier!! LOL With the length of the thing, you were bound to have problems.
    Take care, Hon. L.O.L. & G.B.H. from
    Raife
