~Cleaned Again~

Penny came today and brought me a rose bush.. Its a
carpet rose..They are very pretty. I don't know to keep it
in the pot or to plant it...Penny thinks she may have a big
pot for it, shes going to look.. We did notice today that
there are hooks in the corners of the porch..that will be
nice for a hanging plant, that way the boys cant get at it
if they go out there..When that thing is kittie proofed then
they can go out...I think they will really like it ..probably be
scared at first with all the noise and cars etc..I think it will
be most interesting to them. Penny brought this carpet
spot cleaner machine..like a very small vacuum cleaner..
put liquid in it and it scrubs stains out of carpet..Dutch has
left some spots on this carpet that we had a heck of a
time getting them out..so we are glad this machine did
the trick..the carpet looks good now..

I logged off my computer last nite and then laid on my bed and
watched TV like I do every nite.. I got up to potty about 2 and
as I was scooting across the potty to sit on it..I heard this noise
of like a KER PLOP! like something hitting water.. I KNEW the
second I heard that noise what I had done.. I had the remote in
my lap..and when I scooted around and got on my chair..my
remote got hemmed up in my skirt and I carried it with me to
the bathroom.. I reached down and grabbed it all dripping wet,
and placed it on the back of the potty. I was VERY grateful that
I heard it and that it fell in BEFORE I did anything.. THAT was
a blessing..that could have been very .... ugly... :-) I took it
back into the bedroom after I dried it off and let the water drip
out of it..and thought I had better make sure that it worked and
I could shut off the TV first..I would hate to get up on my bed
and realize I had to go back over to the TV to shut it off ..Good
thing too ..cuz that remote did NOT work..

I called Comcast today and told them that my clicker..ok remote
did not work anymore..that I needed a new one.. He made me
go by the TV and try it and put in new batteries the whole 9 yards
and it still did NOT work..I knew it wouldn't it got soaked..So told
him " nope, it does NOT work" so Penny went down to the office
and traded it in and got a new one..even came with batteries!!
I was surprised..and really glad I got it fixed this fast.. Be heck of
a note to have to go back over to the TV to shut it off its on the
other side of the room from my bed.. that would not be fun...

Carla from the COA came today for her 6 month check up I think..
been awhile since ive seen her..shes really nice and very helpful
too..Of course the boys were all over her and she is another one
that likes animals and doesn't mind Dutch walking all over her
papers and up in her face. She gave me some paper work on
the trips etc that the coa takes..and she told me the free food
boxes are now given out on wed..where before it was Tuesday.
She said a new lady has taken it over and is really doing a good
job..I have to requalify to be able to get the boxes again, and I
gladly will they have that good cheese.. its all staples..like can
veggies and fruit..rice, beans.. saves alot..and I sure am glad
to have it back..Since its on wed. now Penny can go and get
it for me..

That person, John from the wheel chair place called and I don't
know about that man..but he is just not right..He asked if he
could come by tomorrow and measure the height of my chair.
This one Im in...this is a standard height chair..I don't understand
his thinking at all.. I was so tempted to tell him to just forget
about this chair that I did NOT want it.. I don't know if I can do
this all over again.. This man is about the worst I have ever
run into.. He asked if I would like some other man to handle
this and I told him I was already informed that HE was the
only one could do it..he then paused and kinda hummed,
then said.."yes, that's right" I asked WHY did he say that then?
I think I am going to forget this chair for now.. I may call my
insurance and talk to Deborah again..see what she says.. I
still havent heard anything more about them fixing my floor
in here either I may have to send Julia an email, find out just
what the hold up is..

I know if I don't eat something I wont hold up either.. I had a
burger for lunch and my favorite icee.. I love these things..
and the one today was cherry.. very good.. I am hungry tho
and I think I may make a baked potato sounds good to me..
and its fast and easy too..Been a long day and Im tired...
"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";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe
until I write again..
