~It Rained~

I knew it was gonna rain.. it started sometime during the night, its rained off and on all day, but its nice and cool, Im really glad. But my stumps told me 2 days ago it was going to rain.. I can tell..they ache so bad, It feels like a sharp jab to my heels sometimes and it does really hurt. I think because of the leg bone being cut off like that I would think it causes some of the aches, as if arthritis has set in, which I would think it would. I have it in my fingers and shoulders, I was told that years ago, I can tell in them too. My poor hands have the carpal tunnel, arthritis and this pvd crap..Poor things, they have a right to ache and act up on me and not wanna do stuff. Like keeping hold of things. I would think by now that Dutch would know not to be by me when I am cooking, much less getting water. I had Penny make some spaghetti sauce for me and I wanted to have some angel hair pasta, which ment a bowl of water for it to cook in the microwave. I got the bowl and as I went to turn to put it on the table Dutch decided just at that time to jump up onto the table and he and the bowl collided and needless to say Dutch got down real fast, all wet too. I was glad I didn't use hot water or he could have been burnt. I usually try to make sure they know to stay away from the table when Im cooking but I guess he didn't think I was as I was in the sink..I couldn't have timed it better if I had tried.. :-) The sauce was excellent and that will last me all week end.. Well this month is almost gone..I think I just said that about 3 days ago about April...I know I remember times when it seemed the minutes just dragged and dragged, like that day was NEVER going to be over..I notice now, that It seems I just got up and lunch is here and I look again and its time to write something here for the day. Kelli was just 23,, I look at that kid and I honestly feel old. no..not really old but I wonder where those years in between went and what happened... I looked back into my journal today that I started in 1983..I didn't write every day, In fact the last three entries were dated the years of 2002,2005,2007. I missed some in between. I look at it and I think I should write in it..then I don't.. Its easy to sort of catch up anyway and this book isnt near full.. Its interesting to read..I hated my life 5 years ago.. I remember why, I was so sick and in so much pain..that's all I knew back then...to even move was agony..so I sat day after day..staring out of the window..Im glad that field was there then and not the apartments that they built there.. I got my potty fixed, so now it doesn't run constantly after its flushed.. Ken, Chris's dad stopped by to pick up a check for the rent, so while I had him here I asked him to fix it for me. I was afraid I would drop that lid one of these times trying to pull up that ball thingie in there. Im glad now I don't have to sit and wait for it anymore I can just do a fast on and off now . I told Ken, Chris had said Ken was coming but I thought he meant his brother, so I was surprised when I saw was the dad..He complimented me on how nice the house looked said I really had it nice in here and he was glad to see that since lots of his renters don't care..I do..I live here.. I want it nice... :-) Time for some of that spaghetti and I am hungry, I wont eat a lot and play a few games of spider solitare and see whats on tv..I don't remember even watching TV at all last nite ..I must have fallen alseep right away.. I usually get to see some TV but not last nite,, but I was tired just like today and I didn't do a whole lot..but its still time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE words.. "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..
