~Was A Shower Day~

Nice SatDay, I didn't do nuthin and Im tired still.. I was all

day..almost like I didn't wanna wake up and do anything.

I have no choice but to get up once I wake up tho or all I

do is lay down, sit up, go up and down a few times, almost

like an exercise..I really have no set schedule to do any

thing which is kinda nice, seems I still end up doing stuff

about the same times every day though.. The boys see

they get me up by a certain time..If not at 430, then will

try again about 730, then that time its both of them.earlier

its usually only Dutch.. I woke up feeling good, Im just

tired,inside, not weak..just give out..Some TV tonite, even

though there isnt anything good on that I can think of ..well,

COPS is on and sometimes its pretty ok..I get tired of watching

all the blood and violence and all that murder junk.. I prefer

a comedy, like cheers or Friends, I do like that Grays Anatomy

that's on though, that's pretty good.. Lost was but I got lost

watching it... If I cant find anything then I go to my good standby

animal planet..

I did take a shower today, which is a major deal..To pull that

shower chair out of the tub is just NOT easy to do..the legs

get hung up on the arms of the potty rails.. I have to lift it way

up to make sure it clears it to swing the chair where its over

the side of the tub..Then I have to get the towels..at least 3.

one just for my hair, and one is for sitting..depending on

which towel I get for drying off I may have to get a 2nd one.
Some of mine are not in the best shape..I don't think I even

have 2 that match! :-) theyre all in different levels of thickness.

Then I have to adjust the water just right before I get in..I have

the seat up close to the faucet, just enough room for the shower

nozzle to hang down..(Thats an old pic before the potty rails)

When I pull up to that shower bench I have to slide forward and

then pull the shower curtain across and sit on it..so the water

doesn't go out of the tub. The hand held shower doesn't have

a wall mount for it.. I tried using the higher up shower nozzle

but by the time it gets down to me it really splashes all over.

So by the time I scrub every thing and get the curtain back

and careful not to let the water out that piled up there, I put

a towel down and try to lift up and sit on it , then drag over

to my chair.. Then I finish drying off..

The other hard part is putting that shower bench back into

the tub, I have to because it sticks out and I cant get on to

the potty, I get that moved, and move around to get back

on the potty, and that's where I sit and get dressed.. I pull

my skirt over my head then the top..I push the chair back

a little from the edge, and my skirt will drop, I slide back

into my chair..and Im done.. well no then I have to go and

fight to do something with my hair.. I like long, I can do

more with it,, but its a pain to dry ..If I put it up it will take

forever even as thin as it is..

By the time I get through with this whole routine , I havent

really timed myself..but I know its close to 2 hrs.. All that

moving and I cant just rush either.. well takes forever to

look good..deciding which perfume to wear takes forever

since I ran out of my favorite White Shoulders.. And too

this whole shower routine Im fighting Dutch too .he sits

on the bench with me..hes goofy ..he likes the water.. Its

a major deal..The shower at the apartment was ideal..so

big and roomy.. I miss certain things about that apartment

but I don't miss the nosey neighbors and the lack of fixing

things..and needless to mention the lack of privacy...

Time to finish fixing my hair..and Im logging off early tonite

and taking a nap and just resting for an evening..wish I

had a caramel Sunday ..now THAT sounds good! It

also sounds like a chair shrinker too! "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..
