~Snoozy Day~
I had to take a nap today which I havent had to do in a
long time.. I did go to bed late, well no I was in bed, but I
had so many things going on in my head that I just did
not fall asleep.. a couple times I dozed off but then I woke
up again.. I hate when I sleep like that then its like not getting
any sleep at all.. I will wake up.. I always have to look at the
time..squinting of course cuz its over on the cable box which
is on top the TV across the opposite corner of my bedroom.. I
have always it seems had to have a clock where I can know
what time it is.. But I slept for awhile laying down, then I sat
up for a while and slept that way, then back.. I hate when I
sleep really restless, I think that's why Im tired today..
I havent done a bloody thing but make phone calls....
I had to call my doctor again to get a new prescription for arm
rests for this chair..they are so bad its caused a rash on my
left elbow..that is so red and hot and itchy ..just awful.. I even
wake up from it..it will start to itch and the heat of it..its really
warm.. I have super long nails..and when I scratch it..well if
you scratch an itch it just irritates it and makes it itch more.. I
had to get up last nite and put a cold wash cloth on it to sort
of ease it off.. Was really acting up..I think the rash is from my
arm rest but Im not sure it could be from my computer desk..
I put most of my weight on that arm when I am there, specially
if I am just going thru email or playing a game of spider.. I have
had to put a cushion on the desk to rest it on.. Ive been using
the blue gel..but it just isnt doing anything for it..in fact I would
say it itches more after I use it. If it doesn't clear soon I will have
the doc take a look .. I don't need any problems with my arms..
my fingers give me enough fits.. and besides I have enough
problems anyway I don't need anymore..
I did have some good news today though.. Im pleased.. I got a
mail first, as Michele had been trying to call and I was talking to
Blue in Australia..well my chair is ready to be delivered.. She said
someone else could deliver it today or I can wait till she is in town
next week Thursday, which I would love to have it..but we have to
do more work in here to find a good place to put it..and this kitchen
needs finished.. I wish I could get Donnie or someone to come
and spend the day just to do these things.. move stuff to the base
ment, put in my phone jacks in the bedroom and bathroom..and I
would like a shelf hung here in the living room that was out in the
kitchen.. so many little , not hard, jobs to do.. But there is no way
Donnie could spend that much time here with all he is involved in.
Hes trying so hard to finish his garage, and that comes first..
I still have not heard from Chris.. I have left him 2 messages on his
cell phone.. He better sign that lease or it will null out my CMH grant
here.. I have no idea what his problem is..he probly figgures if he
comes to get that check he has to finish all this stuff.. well if he wants
it he better.. Ive just really had enough of this man..he just is not
honorable and does not keep his word and that really eats my lunch.
Its been so hot here its awful..was 97 yesterday..Poor Chris the lunch
lady- even though she drives..was sweating and hot.. she said today
was the same thing its horrible outside.. I know my poor little AC is
just running its patootie off. I dread - dread seeing my electric bill..I
hope it isnt too high.. I cant afford to trade stamps for cash this month
hope it isnt too high.. I cant afford to trade stamps for cash this month
with my freezer empty..that has to be restocked..
I heard about a new thing..its all over the USA from what I read..and
its a really good thing..its online called the Angel Food Ministries..
its really great..The lady came by here even to sign me up for it..I
can get food so much cheaper and that's what I need.. She said that
they would even deliver it for me..that's so very nice.. I told her that...
so many places wont go out of their way at all to help someone like
me..but this lady is from the Church of God here in town.. its thru
the churches...some are so good.. helping.. some arent.. like the
huge Baptist one here.. They don't even have a vehicle to pick up
wheel chair members of their church... but they support missionaries
and not people in their own towns.. what a shame.. I watched that
parking lot fill up..there were over 15 of us that would have gone to
that church..but when I called to ask about a van or bus the pastor
said "no..we have a bus for our youth but not for wheelchairs." You
would have to find a way here.." I asked if they had missionaries,
he said yes they do. yet they cant provide a bus for their own people
in their own town to be able to go to church..now..what is wrong with
that picture? Im not against helping other countries, or peoples..but
start in your own family first, then the town, state, country..in order
of priority.. my family comes first, my friends are my family as well.
Religion and politics I try very hard to avoid talking about .. I am
very open about everything but I do know when to keep my opinions
about certain things to myself :-D I learned that a long time ago..
Well anyway.. I will be getting my new chair next week and hopefully
I will have my house ready and all straight and have a place to put
it I think in the bathroom would be the best place..theres more room
in there...its as big as my kitchen..this house is square, just divided
into 4 rooms all the same size..well except for the kitchen cuz of
the stairs.. I just wish Chris took care of it...Time for some supper
and I am tired still so early to bed, early to rise, makes a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE healthy wealthy and wise.. :-) don't I wish.."Nitey Nite"

Hello Lois
So sorry I was not able to get on the computer Wednesday...I work for Becky last night till 11 PM.
Michael will be 18 Friday. Time sure does fly.
It has been hot here too, sure wish I could stay inside more...My van air conditioner is broke.
I meet and old friend today, haven't seen them in 6 years...her mother died and she has been here for a while taken care of thing...
Sure hoping to get to visit with then, I first meet them 43 years ago. And they moved aways 40 years ago. There are some you meet when they move away you feel a big lost.
I just want to cry, so happy to see them again. They have a computer now, wow I was happy to hear that...God is so good.
God bless you Lois

Hi, Honey,
That rash on your arm, if you can get hold of them, get some lavender and some tea tree essential oils. Put about a couple of pints of warm water in your hand wash basin, add 4 to 5 drops of each of the oils, swish them around and bath the affected parts using a wash cloth.
Lavender oil is a great healer and you can apply it neat, straight from the bottle. Tea tree is a wonderful disinfectant, but should always be diluted.
That is great news, that you are getting your chair soon. You'll be able to get out and do a bit of gardening, when Penny is there!
Take care, Honey, L.O.L. & G.B.H. from
