~I Had to Have A Rest Today~ :-(

I have been so tired today and for no reason.. I didn't get

up till 7:30.. and I even had to take a desk rest today which

I havent done that in awhile either.. Its not like I did a whole

lot to wear my self out.. I think the hardest thing I had to do

today was roll across the bedroom carpet two times more

than I had to.. It is so hard to roll in there..the carpet has

ridges its so loose..and that makes it even harder to move

across it..I forgot the phone and had to go back in their to

answer it when it rang.. I take it in there at night until I can get

the jack put in there and hook up the other phone I have, its

a land phone..well not cordless and wont go out if the power

does..as many storms as we have had Ive not lost power at

all.. I still say its cuz I live within site of the hospital...

Living so close to it..I can hear the helicopter sometimes and

I know its a life flight . I hear the ambulances going down this

street almost daily going down to the emergency room.. Ive

never been in this hospital here, I am always transferred up to

the medical center in Kalamazoo, they know me there. That's

where I had to go for my amputations.. There are two huge

medical centers there and both are great.. One is nothing but

private rooms.. The other though that I go to they always put

me into a private room..they did for all 3 of my amputation

surgeries.. It was nice, I really didn't feel like having company

back then anyway and for the first two amputations I don't

think I really knew what really was going on.. They kept me so

drugged that I have no time frame for anything...I believe the

reason was the depression, and pain... that was never ending.

I made a meat pie yesterday which I havent done since Ive

lived here..and it was wonderful..so good.. I was looking at the

calendar..its almost the first of September. I was thinking back

to where I was just one short year ago.. I was getting ready to

go to Keystone..crying every day, so sad, and I just felt totally

lost... I was about to be one of the Homeless statistics.. I still

have a hard time with that.. and it really bothers me to this day

that I ended up there. I am grateful it was there..but that was

one place I didn't want to be, just like a hospital no one wants

to be there either... But I had no choice and I hate when that

happens...

BUTTTTT... look at me now.. Im still kicking, though I have a raging

headache after listening to little Kenny play up on the roof all day.

I feel fairly good. I do have a few problems..but who doesn't.. I

wish I had a bigger place, true.. but Im grateful I have a place at

all..and I can function..just a tad hard but well its better than not

being able to function at all yes? I got food..a new roof.. and 2

finally WELL cats..Im totally GORGEOUS.. :-) you knew I would

say that.. so what more can I really ask for.. well a few couple

or three or five brazilion dollars in my checkbook sure would

make me feel a whole lot better.. and I KNOW that's going to

happen haha.. I did and do play the lottery now tho..once a week

I have Penny get a ticket for me on Fridays.. Ive hit 2 numbers..

so soon will be 3, then 4 and THEN..well this little short lady will

be even MORE GORGEOUSIER.. I know that's not a word but

that's the joys of writing you can make up your own :-)

Well im gonna make up my mind as to dinner and what Im going

to try to watch on tv..I saw my favorite show, Prison Break..all

repeats..but boy that one guy in it.. with the tats.. he is such a

DOLL!!! .. Its worth watching a repeat just to see that handsome

man with the bedroom eyes again.. I watch that guy in Baltimore

Duff Goldman..hes a baker and the cakes this man and his

company makes are amazing..what ever you want a cake to

look like he will make..even exploding ones.. I enjoy watching the

cooking shows..and of course animal planet..the funny videos

are so good..Laughing a lot then falling asleep make for some

good dreams, So anyway even though I napped... Im tired... and I

need to get out of this chair.. sitting for 12, 14 hours at a time

well more than my butt gets tired... "Nitey Nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya..and Thanks! :-)

Always, Lois ****

Ps: My arm is a tad better, the pain is less, the rash is still the same.

ITCHY ITCHY.. :-)

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.....
