~Friends~

I have to say I have some great friends. Do you know that

I could NOT do this by myself... . I may seem to have it under

control..well ok...sometimes.. but.. I KNOW I have friends ...

when I get down, discouraged, and feel just plain worthless,

useless and of no importance at all...I know one of them will

tell me how nice I am or how GORGEOUS, which I KNOW

better, or tell me they are proud of me, for taking this "bull

by the horns" so to speak and still trying and doing the very

best I can..THAT keeps me going.. the thought of better things

ahead .. I have to believe that.. or what would be the point.

With out the help, love, encouragement from all of my friends,

well I don't think I could keep up this daily Battle! which is just

what it really is.. But well we Native Americans are used to a

fight..and wont back down... :-) I may not have any legs anymore,

but I will still STAND my ground.. I will continue the fight.. and

too this fat lady aint sang yet :-) ok GORGEOUS lady :-)

Theresa was here this morning, we talked for I bet 2 hours..I

told her what happened with all my food, I also told her what I

did to Dutch AND what HE did to ME !!! :-) She could sense

I was a bit discouraged, that things seemed to be piling up

and going wrong all at once again..I told her about Chris

making the mistake of calling..just at THAT time.. she did laugh

with me though when I told her what a chicken he was.. He

STILL has NOT come to get this check by the way, he sure did

need it hey? Liar...I cannot STAND a lie..just don't say anything

if you have to tell a lie..keep your mouth shut..how I feel anyway.

I hate lies..let me catch one..I get a bit pissy...I don't lie.. I try

VERY hard not to.. now I do Tell fibs.. but nothing major, its like

"did you take your pills today?" "Yes" with my fingers crossed,

cuz I was fibbin.. But anyway, she tried to encourage me and

told me to not let it get to me..and she always tells me that she

is so amazed at what I can do and DO!. specially when she saw

this house transform..

OHH!!! and GUESS WHAT??? Well last year..august..remember?

I was homeless for 6 weeks.. I got that grant, got this house, and

here I am.. I am surviving..was a fight..but I did do it.. Well Theresa

said..the CMH here want to do a "Spotlight" type thing about me..

Telling how and what I went through..from virtually nothing..to this..

I think could prove encouraging to some I hope.. So I have to send

her some photos.. of the house.. me..and a bit about what I went

through.. If it motivates someone else..I think its great.. I am

anxious to see what they do... this should be very interesting..

specially since I am such a GORGEOUS WEEBLE!!! :-)

I told Theresa about poor Dutch, whom at the time was curled up

on her lap..he would wake up every little bit and nuzzle her chin..

she loved it..she really likes Dutch, and she loves LB..well no

she really loves them both..they make her feel special when she

is here, and just act like she made their day..Well when I described

what happened when I went to shake the container of juice and

Dutch taking off like a scalded ape to the bathroom and how hard

it was to bath that cat.. she laughed so hard.. THEN I told her the

little buggar got even with me tho.. I had one of those little paper

plates that I put their food on here on my desk..well I had my muffin

on it :-)..so I proceed to show her what I was doing, holding the

can with the left hand and the spoon in the right and then hit that

plate to the floor..she laughed.. I told her he did it deliberately..I

still say he did.. little buggar.. I don't really PLAN to antagonize

this cat its just hes in the wrong place at the wrong time cuz he

sticks to me like glue.. I go out of the room, they both follow , and

will wake up from a sound sleep!! his OWN fault... so there! :-)

I made the mistake of eating lunch that coa brought today.. took me

all of 20 minutes to realize that was NOT a good thing to do.. I don't

know what they do to this food..but..well some of it has a worse

effect than McDonalds.. I can only eat their breakfast stuff no fries

or burgers from there.. they are awful on my stomach.. I still love

Arbys, those market fresh.. they have a Rubin sandwhich there that

is KILLER>. ohoh..food talk so you know what that means.. Time

to check out my kitchen.. I have some good peanut butter crackers

that sound really good.. I don't think that will rock my stomach boat

too badly.. ..Only thing needs to rock- and roll is this chair away from

this computer and into my bedroom and see how long I can watch

TV for..If I turn the clicker over so I cant find the buttons that may

work .. "Nitey Nite".. :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love ya and THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,
