~I Was A Meanie Today!~ :-(


I was mean today, and it being Sunday too.. I should be so
ashamed of myself but well like they say, tit for tat.. What
this mean GORGEOUS WEEBLE did, I phoned my landlord
at 6:30 am. I did, I had been up since 4:45..Guess why?..You
see that photo up there,well my little stumpies got fooled and
they didn't KNOW it was gonna rain! It hasnt stopped.. Im so
mad about listening to these drips..its 9:10 am right now, Im
writing this..by the time this evening gets here and nothing is
done I will be in a rage!!.. Anyway, I was a big MEANIE..and I
don't give a ratz patootie that I WAS! :-D he deserves it as far
as Im concerned, Im up..well "Morning Little Man " :-D
I took my cordless phone over by the drip that you can see
splashing in that LITTLE bowl.. ive already filled up 4, and I
have steadily increased the size, I havent figgured out how
I am going to carry these full bowls of water back out to the
kitchen.. NOW, is this a reminder for me.."Heyyy, Lois,, your
in a chair".. its like the light bulb that blew in the ceiling.. I
dialed old ChrissyBoy, and it rang and rang, like Lilly Tomlin
says "one ringy dingy, two ringy dingy"...his answering machine
came on.. I waited for the "BEEP" and held the phone so he
could hear the "DRIP DRIP DRIP" I had DELIBERATELY put
a empty one, you know how loud a drip is when it first starts
to fill a container and from that height? :-D it DRIPPED! I
put the phone up to my ear and said EVER so sweetly "Chris,
this is Lois, Im up HONEY, I thought you might like to listen to
what I am and get woke up the same way, I let you sleep tho,
aint I nice? Ive been up since 4! I started to call you then ,but
am letting you sleep,, We need to TALK CHRIS, soon , VERY
soon, have a nice Sunday" and hung up the phone.. When I
said the last few words my tone was NOT sweet...
Theres the ceiling, isnt that cute? I just love this.. I wonder if
Chris will say again "I guess I will have to just replace that roof".
well no..how big a tarp can he buy? do that then..do something,
don't let little Kenny up there on a hot day now, with his tar, trying
to find where that bad spot really is.. he cant get into a attic to see
the underside, there is none.. so hes more or less guessing.. Im
not saying he doesn't KNOW, this has to have gone on for a long
time as to me this looks like the 3rd or 4th leaks up there..over by
the other wall above the couch it did..they didn't paint the ceiling,
so I can see where they repaired it..and that its stained again..
Well lets see what the boy does.. Im really tired of this.. He STILL
has NOT come and gotten that check, and called me on the 25th
cuz I wrote the check the same day and the date is on it..and I wrote
it into my calendar..Hes not returned my call from last week about
the lease not being signed, I don't know what to do.. I think im going
to call Kelly at Keystone, or Lori..this is through them... They saw
this place before I moved in..and can see nothing but 2 windows have
been put in.. Well Im tired of all this.. and the biggie is.. Im REALLY
tired of complaining about it.. So, I guess like they say, its time to
take the bull by the horns and call in help and try to see just what I can
do.. This is just not right..So anyway, I do hope the BOY has a good
day and since he said his house is in the same condition as this, well
maybe hes leaky too!! I hope so.. :-D
You can see the drip falling I think that's what it looks like to me
anyway.It was pouring really bad, in fact there is a drain out side
by the curb and the corner, the water rushes down to that thing..
and when it rains this hard for a long time..well that worries me, I
have a basement..and it could easily get water in..in fact it has had.
I mentioned that to Penny just friday...if there was water down there
and was there any kind of smell.. I ask her that every week.. My
material down there is just driving me nuts I worry about it every day
just about.. Boy, I have more than one problem hey?

I sat here getting madder and madder and its early morning now, but
if I don't hear from ChrissyBoy today, I am calling Donnie tonite and
asking him tomorrow if he will come here straight from work, he gets
off at 2:30, takes him 45 minutes..come get me..and he and I go and
see the kid.. I think I may need backup that shows they wont let me be
pushed around.. And Chris don't wanna get flip with Donnie there, trust
me..But I think that might help.. Some people take advantage of some
one like me..we need those to stand up for us since we cant really stand
anymore.. and I KNOW my boy will.. Do you know, when he took me and
had to leave me at the homeless shelter, cuz he knew no where else to
take me, he cried on the way home he felt so bad.. that's my boy... :-)
Now, looky out the side window there, still raining..see over on the
right? that white thing? looks like a bird hey? a sea gull or pidgeon..
we get sea gulls here, ive seen them when I was at the apartments.
this much rain save that bird a trip to the lake down the road , I
don't know..maybe was gonna surf in the river of rainwater going
down the sides of the roads to the drains...You can see at the edge
of the curb across the street there is a drain there too..You see how
close the neighbors house is to the drain over there, I wonder if they
have a problem with a wet basement.. Penny said the basement is
huge, as big as up here, I could fix this place really cute...anyway,
that's NOT a bird.. I sat and watched it..its just some white plastic
bag, and landed that way to look like a bird..see that round thing?
that's a basketball..its been there for 3 days.. no one has come to
get it.. Penny and the lunchgirl Chris, asked whos ball it was..well
its not mine, I don't think I could really play basketball now could I?
Im surprised that whos ever it is didn't come and get it..unless it
fell out of the back of a truck or something.. Penny called yesterday
and said she may be in town today and would drop my laundry off,
she didn't have time then.. so I hope so..then she can empty these
pans and bowls.. I wish I had lids for them then maybe I could.but
on this carpet, I need BOTH hands to roll.. why I cant carry anything.
When I carry stuff , coffee or what ever out of the kitchen I give my
self a good push with just one hand ..to get thru the door and as I
coast past my desk, I reach out and put the drink on there, then
use both hands to roll up to it.. I have to have a plan of attack to
do everything or I run into fixes I get stuck in..

Well I have to find another pot for drips.. I will do a update this
evening before I post this..on the events of this MEAN MAD DAY.
I will be back.. :-)
Well its 4:30 pm..not one thing has changed, other than the rain has
stopped and I am not listening to that drip.. I have NOT heard one
thing from Chris YET... I almost forgot to put todays photo in this
ive been so mad all day, wait till tomorrow, Donnie is gone till later
tonite, but I plan to set up a time when he can be here too.. I think
I need to show a little bit of force and a witness is not a bad idea
either..Chris sure don't wanna call Donnie a liar,.. This has to be
resoved before I go totally nutz..Im tired of this.. I check the paper
every day for places to rent..My ramp is moveable..it goes with me.
Either Chris fixes this or color me gone as soon as I find some
where better..Its such a shame, this is a great location and this
could be fixed into a cute little cottage style house..I can see all
the possibilites it has..sadly I cant do them..so I think I should look
for a place really more suitable for me.. I needed this place really
bad last year I had no choice but to rent this or explode..so now,
before I do again..Im not gonna rush, but my eyes and ears will be
open,, and I don't care what state, county or country either!

Right now im moving to the kitchen, I have some wonderful taters
fryin with onion ..slow...till theyre nice and brown, sliced potatoes.
I like to make sandwiches out of them..its really good.. I wont today
I don't have any bread.. I will tomorrow ..Penny will make some good
homemade bread for me.. its time again for bread. and time for me
to say "Nitey Nite" :-)

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

    Hi
    Rain is a must and just makes everything grow so much better,My grass is so scorched its awful. Looks better now but will need cut! cant win :-)

    I use my 3in 1 HP scanner to download my photos Mary, I have a card, I take the card out and put in that and the photos are auto downloaded.. I can use a cord, but then that drains the batteries.. I didnt download my camera at all..I did the other because that was the only way to get the directions on how to use it.. It should have come with a cord.. Im still learning lol.. nothings easy my friend :-)

    Hi Rob,
    So good to hear from you...Thankfully the rain has stopped...I hope all is well there,dont work too hard...keep in touch please :-) **

    So nice to hear from you..
    Always, Lois ****
