~Sleepy Boy~ :-)

My boy, Dutch and that white cat hes laying on is Sybil, his dear

girlfriend.. he just finished "diddling" his 'friend' and just fell over

and decided to take a nap.. Isnt that just cute? This poor cat

just has it so rough doesn't he.. I don't know how I will ever get

Sybil clean, I thought about some woolite..dry shampoo stuff ,

that might work.. I had that white one when I was in the nursing

home.. She stayed on my bed all the time once I got her.. Donnies

ex wife Shirley, knew how I loved cats and brought her to me to

'keep me company' she said.. and it did.. That's the one that the

nurses came in and packed up half my stuff while I was in hospital

having my left leg amputated..when I got back to my room half of

my things were gone..including her..The excuse of the people at

the hellhome was, "too much stuff in a room is a fire hazard" .. A

cat on a bed is a fire hazard? I called my sister right away, in

tears..told her they took my cat.. The next morning all my things

were brought back in to me..my sister led the way as they carried

everything back.. She was so mad.. She didn't sleep all that night

and at 5 am she got in her car and drove up here and waited till

the day shift got in..and made them bring my things back..They

did it just to be mean..and to go thru my things..

They hated the fact that I was there and conscious and aware of

what when on, the treatment we got.. how they deliberately charged

for every single thing down to a band aid or even an aspirin.. there

were charge stickers on everything... 95% of those in there werent

even coherent to know really what was going on.. I did and I would

tell..they asked me 3 times that I remember "Lois, isnt there some

other place you would rather be, than here?" I used to laugh and

tell them "nope, find me a nice place, and I will go".. they did too..

and helped me move everything out .. had that apartment all set

up and ready for me to move into..that's when the year of pain

was even worse with that infection I had in this left stump...In all

I had 3 years of the most intense and constant pain a person could

endure.. I remember a time when I was sobbing from the pain of

the nurse cleaning the scar, and I begged her to just put an end

to my suffering, that I just couldn't stand anymore...

That was in 2002...Im still here.. was really rough..and I had hoped

that was the end of the rough ride..but I mean to tell ya.. I go up and

down so many times it is a good thing Im in this chair...hills can be

real stinkers... I seem to have more climbing up than I do enjoying the

ride back down... When I do get a down ride it is kinda nice.. I just

wish they were more often..
I finally got a photo of the boys so you can see how much bigger LB

is than Dutch.. Dutch has white on his face where LB doesn't.. There

is Meowy over there by LB..that's his girlfriend.. hes drug that cat

around for 4 years now.. The boys are almost the same color.. You

have to look close to see who is who...If you touch them eyes closed

you could tell them apart instantly..LB is almost like an angora hes

so soft, Dutch is more coarse, its soft..but a different texture. They

look like litter mates but they arent..Good kids tho...
Todays photo.. I made another small video..its so much easier to

do than take each one separately.. With that windows movie maker

I can go in there and take it frame by frame and take photos off of

them.. Only thing is with this the date isnt on it... I have to put that

on ..with the webcam or the digital the date is put right onto the

photo... When I make a video with my webcam It makes it in a

weird format, that most cant see, avi..windows movie maker will

change it to a wmv...Its really a neat photo shop thing..and it comes

with the computer.. I found mine in Start.. well a friend told me

about it first.. Its really nice there are all sorts of things you can do

in it to movies or photos..I took that yesterday..

I havent slept good in 3 days, Ive been worried about a friend, I did

finally get word today they are ok..I am very relieved but stressed

that they didn't contact me when they said they would. I worry about

the slightest thing.. I cant help it.. I just do..it should be my middle

name.. Well they are fine and apparently I worried about them for

no reason, they just didn't care to keep me informed even tho they

said they would.. Kinda upset me.. I try to keep my word..and I try

not to make promises I cant keep.... So I am logging off early tonite

and relaxing.. Penny will be here tomorrow..and I think I am going

to have her start on the basement..getting that stress note out of

the way, my material.. I would feel better...The more stress givers I

can get rid of the better... "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.....
