~The Roof Is FIXED~ Yippee!~


Hetic Friday.. Penny was an hour late, she didn't hear her
alarm go off :-) Ive done that.. Then Ken and Kenny showed
up and have torn the roof off the house and are replacing the
the shingles. hmm I shoulda had Penny take some photos ..I
did from in here, and didn't think of that ..oh well..these will do.
They got here by 8 or so..Big and Little Kenny. Who ever has
that nice car parked in my driveway can just leave it there..
its a beauty .. I cant tell what kind tho...a nice sporty white one.
Probly Daddys.. :-)
They tore off all the tarpaper and old shingles and brought this
huge trailer dumpster like thing in..backed in with a truck..good
driver who ever did it..didn't hit my bush out there.. Id be mad if
they did..its filled that container.. and it was hot out there today
too.. The pounding has made the boys really edgy..LB is not at
ease at all and with each bang of the hammer I can see his eyes
almost blink..well mine to do..plus it gives me a headache so why
wouldn't he get one? Made all 3 of us ready to get this fixed..
It was not TOTALLY a headache inducing day as you can see there!
:-) I said was HOT out.. it was.. im not saying I am glad it was kinda
warm but..im glad though I happened to be looking out my window at
just the right time :-D I am wondering what kind of mess when they do
the ceiling in here.. I wish they would offer to paint all of it , like they
should have done before I moved in.. but then I don't want paint on my
things either ..Im not real impressed with the type of work they do,
ya know? I kinda like my stuff paint free.. I do a good enuff job on my
own getting paint every where..

I got out of my power chair last nite before I went to bed and got
into my manual. I am better with it..and during the night , half
asleep, no telling what kind of damage I could do.. I worry too
about the boys.. I can see them during the day if they get careless
and think I will stop..but in the power chair,,darker in here.. I would
rather not take a chance.. If I ran over one of them..well there
would be no hope.. I almost crippled Dutch when he was a baby
I ran over his little foot..not enough to hurt him other than to make
him scream and run..and LB attack, almost.. But I feel better in
my manual at night.. Its pretty light in here that Pennys garage
across the Street is so well lit you would think they had GOLD
cars or something.. I don't need any lights in here ..its a tad dark
in the bathroom but the east window the car lights keep it pretty
lit up..the street runs east to west..that's what drives the boy nuts
the car lights flashing across the walls and ceilings..:-)


Penny had to put the curtains back up in the bedroom today. I
had turned to lay on my side..and I almost fell back down to
my pillows and I reached out to grab..well duh..all there was ,
was the curtain! I KNEW that..yet I grabbed it anyways.. and
down came the curtain.. I make more extra work for her..She
then had to find the bracket..which of course HAD to fall behind
the bed.. I tried to reach it..I thought I pulled the bloomin things
down I could help put them back up! no luck..she had to get that
too.. Theyre back up..and If I do that one more time..I will get so
mad at myself..This is the 2nd time.. I need to put that side rail
back on that side.. well..Penny took it off..and..well...we cant
figure out how to put it back on..its weird..clamps and a knob you
have to turn ..so we left it off..we tried.. maybe if and when the
boy comes to put in my phone jacks he can put it back on for
me.. when ever that is he stays so busy..
I did not have lunch and I am going to get one of those new Fast
Franks from Oscar Meyer..they taste like I just opened the franks
and the buns..fresh.. 35 seconds in the microwave and talk about
good! wow..for a fast quick lunch.. I was really surprised.. and they
arent that expensive.. I still feel a bit puny and I put that photo to
show the update on my arm.. Thursday week I can go to the Dr. it
does worry me.. I have NO idea what it is..The date and time are
on it I know it hurts like a buggar..you can see how red..as red as
it is that's as hot as it is to the touch. Im a nurse, and I don't know..
But Im going to keep a log kinda..just to watch the good progress.
Thursday at 9:15..I will know.. I hope its nothing serious that cant be
fixed.. I do worry that I wont have use of that arm for a while tho..
Penny did offer to stay 24 - 7 if I have to have her. makes me feel
better im not going in hospital. Maybe antibiotics and stablility will
help I don't know :-) enuff guessing..Im trying to keep a photo log of it..
plus its the only way I can really see it.. other than with a mirror..this is
easier :-) and you know me.. I will figure out the easy way ..my plans
of attack! :-) Now, time for the attack on the kitchen..I sure enjoy this
new way its fixed..so much more room.. im pleased.."Nitey Nite"


Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Love ya..and Thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

    Considering you do not get out much, you sure keep busy. I have to hang around sat for the cable folks to come and get 2 tv sets back on line. I will bomb the house for fleas. and pay bills while wating for the cable guy to come.

    Wow that is great new, getting your roof fixed...having to catch rain water every time it rain is a lot of extra work.. our back porch roof is next to flat, we had to work with it a few time to stop the leak. what a mess it was.
    Lois I love all your pictures you take.

    It was hot here today again, getting outside to go anywhere can just about make you sick...
    Sure hope they do the inside for you too.
    God bless you Lois.

    Good Morning..
    There seems to always be something doesnt there? :-) If you sprinkle baking soda all over on chairs, rugs..let it sit..then vacuum...that will help alot to get rid of the eggs the bombs dont get ..you have to keep using the bombs until they are all gone..Cats going outside will bring them right back in... Fleas are ickky.. Mine have never had one.

    Hi Mary!
    Yes Im glad, we are due some storms this morning so I hope they did get it all done..they cleaned their mess and did the whole roof in one day.. I hope its not long before they fix the ceiling in here..that would be a treat..
    I cant take the heat at all..

    Hope you have a great saturday..take care and thanks for writing :)
    ALways, Lois ****
