~Good Wake Up~

I fell asleep almost as soon as I got on my bed last nite, and
I didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning, and when I laid there
for a few, watching my TV that was still on and the clicker in
my hand, I realized my stumps didn't ache or my back very
much, a little, I hadnt moved in hours, but I felt good.. I sat up,
wobbily, and watched TV for a few minutes, fixed my bed, I
make it every day, and did my scoot arounds, and backed
into my chair. I really felt good. I was really glad.. I don't wake
up that way all that often and when I do..well Im very grateful,
my invisible feet were where they were sposed to be and I
really had no major aches. Maybe its spring fever.. I watched
the weather before I shut the TV off and it said how nice and
warm it was going to be today and for a few days, then of
course back to winter, but it proved to be a really nice day
today, even the lunch lady said she had a sweater on and
was too warm.

When spring starts I think most people after being covered
with snow and cold the warming outside warms us..and I
know myself I get antsy. I was watching birds with Dutch
this morning out the kitchen window and I was looking at
the yard and trees, theres quite a bit of work that's needed
out there. Right below the kitchen window here looking out
to the garage, down below in this triangle area of the house
and fence someone had a flower bed..Theres what I think is
a rose bush that is in desperate need of care. That little
flower bed could be really cute fixed but I wouldn't be able to
keep up with it on a daily basis as I wouldn't go out there by
myself ..just for safety reasons.. falling over or out of this
chair ..and I don't like taking chances.. If Penny was here she
could go with me but I wouldn't ask her to do yard work..No.
Dawn offered to help me..but she has a big yard of their own
over there. So I don't know..I would need some thing out in
there very low maintenance. I do wonder about the yard tho.

My ex and I had a tree service so I do know and recognize
what would need done to a tree or bushes..yard and all.. The
trees outside need work..there is a lot of deadwood that this
winter has brought down..So I know this summer with the way
it was last year there will be some storms, so it kinda makes
me worry a bit and there is a cedar right in front that is leaning
way out its top heavy it needs trimmed.. I guess I need to talk
this over with Chris, im sure he has a yard man as well as a
maintence. I still havent seen Lewis yet.

Ive got so many things that I would like to get done in here
that it seems daily they add up to more and more.. I think I
am going to redo my bedroom though and see if I can fix up
a small sewing area..and make some stuff If I can get this
machine that's in there set up right.. Its my real old singer that
my dearie friend Ceola gave me that's in a cabinet.. I haven't
really done a lot in my bedroom and it looks it.. I really don't
know how to fix it in there..its not a huge room..I wish I could
fix that rug mainly then I wouldn't have any trouble at all.. I
have to arrange things just right or I cant get into the closet
since its way over in the corner.. I could move the bed back
over by the heat vent for the summer and that would give
me more room maybe.. I need to draw up a floor plan then
do one of my 'plans of attack' :-) Theres a lot I would like to
do in every room in here..will just take time..I just keep rollin,
I'll get it done :-)

Rollin..well this GORGEOUS WEEBLE has been up all day,
no desk rest, no nap or bed rest, so Me is tired.. I found out
today that banana's help you sleep..well guess what im gonna
have? yup..my daily dose of banana and wash it down with a
cookie :-) works for me.. "Nitey , Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv 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..

    I'm so glad that you have had a good night and a good day. Makes all the difference if you can get a good sleep doesn't it.
    I have been to the doctor's today and had acupuncture on my shoulder which has been sore for weeks. And, like a miracle all the pain has gone and I was even able to 10pin bowl this evening, I didn't win but my excuse was that I am out of practice lol.
    So now to bed - work tomorrow again and choir tomorrow evening.
    I do so hope that your boy with the burnt foot is OK.
    Love to your pussies!

    As the barometric pressure rises the aches and pains go away. It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood today. I went to the local super-market to buy a few goodies. Tomorrow it is going up to 20C or 68F. The US weather reports do not include Bahgdad but the BBC and EuroNews do. 21C Wednesday or 70F

    Support groups can be a very good thing for people and many like them, I dont do very well in groups lol.. I tend to get a tad mouthy :-) I get upset if I hear the words "I cant"

    I like stew, if theres no CARROTS lol.. or celery. Specially if there's dumplings too ..good stuff.

    Im trying to figure out my home heating credit and I am just NOT good at this stuff, its in Jibberish :-D
