~Some Days ~

Would you believe some days I wake up in a bad mood? :-)
I know, me of all people, but sometimes that happens, that

I do and I don't really know why because I cant put my

finger on any one thing that makes it that way... I think for

today was because I bet I had to get up and go potty 3

times last nite. that sure got old real fast..enough to where
I was tired of fighting to get back into my chair. Its really

not easy.. Then I had to wait, it seemed forever for the

toilet to stop running, jiggling that handle doesn't work,

it does sometimes but then I have to take the lid off to get

it to really stop, which is not easy to do since I have to do

it from the side. I cant while Im sitting on it..as I cant reach

to put it anywhere. I bet ive called Chris 4 times on this at

least and not heard that first word back from him.

I was looking through some old photos of where I was

raised.. My mother kept some old post cards..its so sad

that now the 3 little towns are no longer there, they have

been made into just one now. The main streets of them

are still there, but it sure has changed.. So many things

have.. The town I remember was so alive and full of people,

but then that was when there was work there and jobs for

everyone..The iron ore mines are what kept that area of

the Upper Peninsula alive and everyone had a good life

as they paid so well, now I think there is only one left up

there and its not where I lived..

There used to be the old mining shafts that you could see

all over..very interesting to see.. I can remember many

times hearing of someones yard caving in..or even the

road, and cars not knowing the road was gone drove in

to the pit.. no one was hurt which was very lucky.. But can

you imagine to wake in the middle of the night to feel the

house shaking and look out side and see an enormous

hole in your back yard? So much of the area up there is

all undermined there were so many mines up there. In

a one town there is a mine that is open to the public, and

you can ride in a car on tracks that takes you down into

the mine.. Not for me..I have a thing about closed in

places and tunnels.. I don't do those very well.. The life

and times back then was a good time.. its sad that

things have to change like they do..and sometimes not

for the better.. Its still beautiful country..God's Country

as I call it up there.. I do miss it..

I have been thinking of what I will be able to do with the

yard when the weather finally goes into Spring.. I don't

know if I should try to do a garden or not.. Im hoping that

I wont have trouble finding someone to come and cut

the grass .. from what Ive been told the city frowns on

yards not being kept up..and if the grass gets too long

they will give you a ticket..just like they will if you don't keep

the sidewalk cleared in front of your house.. I don't know

if the snow remover guy Robert does yard work. I can

just see me out there with a riding mower lol.. If I drive

that as badly as I do or have ..my power chair I could be

in trouble, since there are trees out there :-) I know if I

got out of control and cut all the neighbors yards I bet

they would be pleased..:-)

I phoned the boy, hes doing good..very restless, he still

is house bound but knowing him he will think of a way to

get out.. He can drive..its his left ankle.. but there really is

not a lot you can do on crutches, his house is a tri level

and that is giving him problems, I told him I know what its

like..and had to remind him of how long I had gone with just

one leg before I lost the other..so he knows I know what hes

going thru.. He said.."Gran, Im having such a hard time with

just this one not being able to use it.. HOW do you do so

well not having any?, this sure isnt easy" I told him I just do

what I can..and try..Donnie knows better than anyone how

hard I do try to do stuff.. he yells at me a lot and says to call

him to fix stuff..but hes finding out, how hard it is to steady

ask for help.. its not easy..specially when you are used to

doing for your self, hes so lucky to have Dawn .. she takes

wonderful care of him.. Shes a doll..

Well today has gone by slowly I took a desk rest earlier and

I sure needed it...but I still am tired and ready to go back to

bed and watch TV . I did see the whole TV show of Cops

last nite I was glad.. Not often I see a whole program :-)

I wonder if I will make it through another one tonite.. I know

I did NOT drink ONE Thing so I better not have to get up

a zillion times tonite..at least I hope so..but its that time

again like every nite to say "Nitey Nite" :-)

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

Always, Lois ****

Ps.. The photo is one I took last week, my cam isnt working
