Amputee life before and after...

~Nice Saturday~


Nice satday here as I like to call them since that is what
your sposta do on the week ends.. I called Donnie this
morning early and they were already off and running. I
think people really work harder on the week ends than
during the week sometimes.. I didn't do anything but
try to clean out my Inbox and get caught up on mail..
That's all I did all day today, now what kinda hard life
is that and I complain. I really shouldn't, but I still do.


I think things could be better, easier and even safer. I
know the financial burden of this life is not easy. I have
never lived at this level where I have had to constantly
worry about bills. Its very nerve racking, for me anyway.
Ive tried coming up with solutions and what I can possibly
do to get some extra income..Ive thought of a lot of things
I could do..Write stories by request or sell the ones I have
now..If I could write a book and sell it that would be great.
There are so many great writers out there I honestly don't
think I would have a chance.. I write all kinds, about my
life..living..and I have even written erotica. I do enjoy writing
I always have..If I get upset or angry with someone I write
them a dozen letters then destroy them..by the 20 or 30th
usually I can write like a sane person again..

Penny and I discussed making extra money sewing and
trying to sell them online..making lap quilts, baby quilts
and quillows, which are pillows and quilt all in one..the
quilt folds down into a pocket that turns it into a pillow.
Theyre really nice to have along and theyre pretty too on
a sofa, its a pillow, then if you get cold, undo it and use
it as a quilt. Theyre really pretty. I have my old singer in
my bedroom and all that material in the basement that
is worrying me sick its getting ruined..I could , well we
could make some gorgeous quilts.. I made them while I
was in the Hellhome, and had orders for them backed
up, and I really enjoyed it..But I love to sew, I did so
good when I had my sewing business before..I think if
Penny helped she and I could do this.. I wish I had a
bigger house..She is having problems herself and I told
Penny if I had a bigger place she would live with me..
and I bet we could get a great online business going..
She can crochet and make some of the most wonderful
doilies that not too may people make anymore.. She is
very good.. I think it could be done.. We may just try to
do it..If I could get to the basement, we could set up a
shop down there ...after we waterproofed it.. Its huge
down there too and be plenty of room.. I may start a
sewing business when I do I will be sure to put the
notice here so that everyone that reads this can buy a
handmade quilt from me..They could be shipped any
where... I just might do this...THEN I could buy my
OWN house...on the water TOO!!! :-)

I love phone calls.. I read on Skype, which is a great program.
that you can get free long distance from your computer to a
land phone in the USA and Canada..for 30. dollars a year.
To me that seems really cheap. I don't make them now at all
for what it does to my phone bill..When Skype had the free
phoning for awhile I sure used that alot..Millions of people
did..Sounded just like a regular phone call.. I like talking on
voice , its better than typing back and forth to someone I
think..

I almost fell out of bed last nite..I did a real stupid..I dropped
the remote down by the side of the bed and it went under
my chair.. I tried to reach it..and I couldn't, so I had to unlock
the brakes.....push my chair back..and reach for the clicker
as I call it.. When I put my hand on my chair..and reached
down with the other to get it, my chair moved farther away,
caught me off balance and I almost did a header right on
to the floor.. I saw what was happening and REAL fast I
tried to sit back up...which it was almost too late, I reached
to the side and got my hand on the credenza next to my
bed and pushed back as hard as I could and managed to sit
back up on my bed..I must have been sleepy to be that
careless and not relock the brakes before I committed my
self to that kind of a reach... Once I would get into the fall
on the floor momentum..well it would be all over as my
face would hit the floor and no stopping.. I havent fallen
out of my chair too often..but once is enough..I think I have
about 3 or 4 times.. its not fun...

I have some leftover pizza waiting for me in the fridge and I
am starved..I played on this computer all day and didn't
even take time to eat lunch..I had toast earlier this morning
now though I AM hungry... Then TV time... "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..

    Lois sewing is a good way to make money, and it will keep you real busy to...then you won't have much time for the computer either. Now that would make us all sad, but we would be happy you are making extra money.
    Have a great day Lois.
