~A Nice Quiet Day~ :-)

Was a really nice Quiet day today, kinda stress free, I

waited for the hospice to call to set up a time for the nurse

to come but I didn't hear from them at all..so I don't know..

The Dr didn't call with a appt with the bone guy or set up

the heart scan.. I can wait..I am enjoying this calm kinda

really relaxing day, Ive not done really anything, well I did

spend some time fixing my kitchen a little..not alot.... I have

just enjoyed NOT doing one thing.. all I did do today was

get dressed and make coffee and reply to my emails..and
I am all caught up on that.. I think.. I really don't get very

much mail.. I wish I did.. I enjoy it.. specially when my friends

send me photos of themselves or their family, home..or pets.

A friend just got a new dog, a golden retriever, beautiful animal.

I miss not having a dog.. they love you so good.. they do.. no

matter what.. they are always there ..tail going..ready to let you

know they love you and just want to please you and make you

happy.. Ive had some wonderful dogs.. I was told I am eligible

to get a helper dog.. I would love to have one..but I just would

be so scared to let him outside here ..and not be able to go

out with him.. the yard isnt totally fenced.. and that's not safe.

I sure would like to have one .. but as small as this house is..

well me, 2 cats and a dog.. I don't know.. well depends I guess

on the size of it.. Brandy was a Maltese and a love.. if she

couldn't get outside to do her business, bless her heart, she

had NO pride..she would use the CAT BOX..made the cats

so VERY mad, but she had to go and knew mom would be

up set if she let go somewhere else.. I never trained her to do

that either.. My ex sister has a cat that sits on the toilet ..uses

it..she has no litter box.. I think LB could learn to do that he

hates the litter box and if its not totally clean ALL the time he

will scream and meow until I go and notice its dirty.. I don't

think Dutch would have the patience.. hes too much of a live

wire..

I tried working in my kitchen today, not alot..as I still don't feel

the greatest its got to be from the infection.. I put some of my

tea pots back up on the bakers rack and tried to make my

kitchen look a little more like one.. I will gradually get it to how

I want it to look.. I only have one more year here, and I will have

to find another place, that's why I think going thru everything

and sorting out what I absolutely don't have to have anymore

will help when the time comes that I have to leave here.. If

Ken will get this house HUD certified then I can continue to

rent it.. if he doesn't and my grant from CMH is not renewed

then I will be in trouble and house hunting again.. So THIS time

I am going to be prepared and I wont get caught like last time

and end up in Keystone..

I have to give Keystone every bit of credit though..the staff there

was great..96% were... and their follow up program is super..

Lori will be coming once a week now to make sure all is ok and

to see if I need anything that she can help me get..I hope..ok

wish that they could extend the grant..which Lori said my being

like I am they may keep renewing it..if I KNEW that were true, It

sure would ease a lot of my worries.... I don't like uncertainties

hanging over my head..I want to face them straight on..and deal

with them..

My boy came over after work and I sure enjoy his visits.. he usually

tries to every few weeks..and if he doesn't he always phones...

hes a good kid.. I phoned him yesterday evening..he had gone

to the races somewhere here in Michigan and it rained for the

whole time he was there, they had fun. a whole bunch of them all

go 5. or 6 couples..each with trailers.. they plan this from year

to year..next years reservations are already made.. Donnie was

so disappointed as the race is supposed to be today but the

way the weather is.. I doubt if they will have it today..Everywhere

its raining.. Im glad..just for the fact, in case my roof isnt finished.

and I don't have to hear that pounding.. I was really getting bad

by last Friday afternoon ,, I was ready to pull my hair out.. I sure

needed them to go home..if they hadnt stopped when they did,

I think I would have asked them to ..It was awful.. . . I know they

had to do it.. but well if this ever happens again..well motel 6

here I come ..

I had leftover meatloaf, some creamed corn and a biscuit, for

lunch.. leftover meatloaf is so good.. Penny did great on it.. I

told her so before she left.. Saturday I get the food from that

Angel Food Ministries.. I am anxious to see what and how it

is.. Penny has and says its reallly good..not much longer to

wait.. What I cant wait for is to get out of this chair for today,

I didn't get up till almost 7 today, but it wasn't a restful sleep,

and I almost had to take a deskrest today.. I didn't but I sure

coulda used one.. im ready for some bed rest.."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.....
