~Little Stressers~

Today was sort of an aggravating day full of little tiny things that if

you let it will put you into a snit. :-) so.. about 3, 4 times today I have

had to count to 10 and just sat back and relaxed. Little stressers can

be worse than big ones sometimes... I had today all planned for

mine and Penny's attack on the basement.. well I guess she had a

power outage by her, which we didn't, and anyway when she wasn't

here by 9:20 when she is due by 9 I phoned..and she had overslept.

That happens..most alarm clock radios.. mine does..has a battery

back up just for that reason.. and me, I don't need an alarm.. I set

the one in my head and I get up... so she was late..the start ....

The other little stressers were, I havent heard from the home nurse,

so I don't know what the problem is .something about a referrer or

something.. well I called Erica and questioned as to what was up. this

was to have been done Monday, or at least by yesterday.. so I guess I

don't need to worry about anything since obviously my doctor doesn't

seem to be as concerned as she was when I was there..That was two

times of counting when I talked to the office.. So I again mentioned my

BP monitor is broken, would they send a prescription to my insurance

or aps or someone so I can get a new one..well Im not holding my

breathe on this either..THEN I had to call my insurance lady, Deborah,

who is on vacation till next Monday, she had a replacement but she has

yet to call me back...

So THEN.. I GET a call from the Farm Bureau Insurance I called two weeks

ago for a renters insurance policy.. She informed me that she had gone by

and seen the roof being repaired and that she didn't think she would be

able to write a policy until it is finished.. I told her I wasn't insuring this house.

MY belongings.. she said didn't matter..bad building could cause damage to

my things and then the insurance pays.. I told her..if something happens to

MY things because of this roof or any part of this house being bad MY

insurance would NOT pay.. I would see to it that Chris and his father did.. I
have this place too well documented on their lack of upkeep and the condition

this place was in and STILL is.. But well I guess when they are done with the

roof, then I can get insurance..hell of a note... Oh..and NO Penny said they

only just barely have HALF of the roof done!!! *SIGH*
The top photo shows what was going on all day out there. The

electric company is cutting trees, no they arent they have a tree

company that goes out and butchers the trees! What they did to those

next door.. well I hope they don't do that to these! Look at the photos.

Do you see what they did? they took all the limbs OFF the wire side

of the tree, thus leaving all the weight on the side where the house is!

They would have been better off to take the whole tree down.. I sat

and watched what they did. I had a tree service with Willie, I can look

at a tree and tell you what needs done to it.. What they did.. well.. they

are doing that to everyones trees and I think its a shame.. That's Chris

my lunch delivery girl..shes very nice..and that's her jeep parked there.
They finished butchering that first tree and went to the second..

Its bigger than this first one.. Look up top of that tree..see all

those tall branches sticking up? that tree needs topped.. rounded

taken care of.. so many people don't realize that trees are an

asset to property not counting all the great things they provide...

People only think about caring for them when strong winds or

worse go thru and rip them out or much worse drop them on

their houses.. The machine behind the bigger truck is the chipper.

They can take branches and put them in on that left side and you

can see a chute type thing aimed at the back of that bigger truck

it chops everything up and shoots it into that and then a lot of the

tree services sell it for mulch or what ever.. They cut and stacked

the wood at the bottom of the tree. If they don't want it.. I know

someone that will take it.. Donnie.. Hes always looking for wood..

Well, I did and didn't get a lot accomplished today and I will HONESTLY

admit I have been in a really bad mood..then after Penny left..well before

she left she used the big beast vacuum cleaner that LB is terrified of..I
always make sure I see both of the boys after someone has been in and

out of here.. Well LB hid..and would NOT come out for almost an hour.

BY then I am thinking the worst and in a panic.. I had NO idea where he

could be.. I looked everywhere.. Well the phone rang, was the heart scan

place and while I am talking here he comes out of my bedroom..and I
looked under there..well I didn't look but I used my long grabber to feel..

I was mad, and glad all at once.. Kids..


My little stresses day is just about done ..and I think I need to just get

away from this puter and go and watch tv..Wednesday nite..hmm LOST

used to be on .. oh well I probly wont get to see much of anything any

ways.. I find that shut off button for me too fast that's on that clicker !

The arm is not better but it is not worse..not to worry "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";
