~Wild Week~

This has been a wild week. I don't think I have had this

much company in a long time.. at least 2 sometimes 3

visitors every day since Monday.. Im NOT complaining at

all by any means.. I enjoy it.. Boy, I just get to talk and talk,

now what can be better than that! :-) I enjoyed every visit..

and they were really nice ones, with Julia, and Theresa,

Heidi..Chris (lunchgirl) Penny of course, Tracy, my nurse,

was a busy week... But a good one...

Today was a good day too.. I finally got some mail which I

hadnt gotten anything in 2 days, I feel cut off from the world

when I get no mail...I got a great post card today...I even had

a dear friend phone that I hadnt heard from in quite a while

and it was so good to talk to them again.. I really enjoyed that.

I like phone calls.. it just makes it seem more personal.. than

a email or chatting.. I prefer voice online anyway than typing..

saves the fingers and keyboards..:-) spoils you too~! Skype

has excellent voice...

While I was on the phone all of a sudden it went totally

DEAD.. I panicked..what was I going to do? No dial tone.. I

couldn't call to get it repaired.. I had no phone~! I sat and Im

trying to think..ok..this could NOT be good, NOW what will I

do.. I wasn't expecting anyone to come by till Monday when

Penny comes..that's not good..no phone.. So I logged on

Skype and you can buy time on there.. I forget how much

for what..but I got it..after the deal goes thru my paypal..the

little window says..may take 4 to 5 business days for this to

clear your bank.. I said "HUH" well rat farts.. that's not going to

do me any good right now! So I had NO idea what to do... I

checked everything..and nothing.. I didn't like that at all..

I bet I sat for 15 minutes or so stewing and getting mad, I had

NO idea what it could be.. All of a sudden I hear this BANG!
BANG! BANG! on my front door, scared the daylights out of me,

I was NOT expecting anyone... I tell everyone to make SURE

they call before they come over. I Had NO idea who it could be.

I keep the door locked on the week ends so I had to go over

and open it.. I slowly open the door and there is my sister and

Stanley standing there ! I WAS GLAD to see them!! Plus she

was bearing GIFTS !!!! :-) Shirley always has to make a potty

call as soon as she gets here its a kinda long ride and plus they

make stops along the way at different places like yard sales..

which she said they had stopped at one today and she got a great

painting for her dining room for ten dollars.. But as soon as she

came back and sat she opened the bag of goodies and proceeded

to show me all the great tops and loungers she brought me.. I

think be easier to say what colors she DIDNT bring.. Needless to

say I was pleased...They are great.. :-)

So anyway, I was telling them about my dead phone, I asked Stanley

if he had his cell phone with him..which of course he did... and I asked

him to dial my phone company to find out why my phone was dead..My

bill was paid..it always is..its auto out of my bank..So he dials hands me

this little thing..and after about 5 or 6 rings this lady answers and was

very nice..I asked why and what and gave all the necessary info..She

said that perhaps I needed to check the box , where the line comes out

of.. She said she could send a repair man, but she was just 2 blocks

down the street at the office and since I was in a chair and couldn't get

to my little box down on the baseboard, she would gladly come by and

check it for me if I couldn't get anyone.! So while I was talking to her I

asked Stanley to crawl under my desk and plug and replug my phone

line into that little box..she said sometimes there is a surge and a line

will go dead..for no reason..and that'sall you have to do..Most don't know

that and then have a repair guy, pay for that, to come out and do just

that very thing!! Well Stanley did that.. I picked up my phone..and well

I HAD PHONE again~~!!! I thought that was so nice of her to offer to

come and do it for me.. how nice..that just gives me hope for humanity

it does :-) ..It was above and beyond her job description..and I made

sure I told her just how much I appreciated her offering and helping me

like she did.. I thought that was just special..made me feel good..

We 3 had a nice visit and they stayed longer than they had in a long

time and I really enjoyed that alot..its so good to see my sister and

Stan.. Good people...Plus they ALWAYS bring me goodies :-) They

did say they thought I was looking really good.. and they were glad to

see that.. They are going up north all next week for their fall tour..its a

beautiful drive when the leaves change, they arent yet..but they will go

again when they are..She is enjoying her house which I am so glad..

her other was nice, but this one is newer and bigger and wheel chair

accessible which Shirley uses one quite a bit lately as her legs are

not real good..I gave her some of the cream I got..so I hope it helps

the sores on them.. I didn't look at them...But I hope they get better..

She has neuropsy really bad too.. I worry for her..

I got up at 330 this morning but I fell asleep early like 730.. so I had

sleep..plus LB was doing circles by my side saying "MOM, MOM,

MOM," so that woke me up ..so I got up, had coffee and went and

got on line to see who I could bug that early in the morning :-) well

no one was on..Later on I laid down and took a desk rest about

10 though I got really tired.. I did eat first so I could take those

nasty pills..I took my extra blood pressure pill too..When my sis was

here we took our blood pressures with my new machine..mine was

190/94.. not good for being on 2 meds.. Stans was fine.. Shirley

didn't take hers.. The nurse will be here Monday so.. see what it is

then..


Time for food and some early tv..maybe I can watch something.. I

did get a lottery ticket for tonite so we ALL need to pray for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE to win the lottery tonite..wouldn't that just

be the screamers if I did? Fooey I would probly get so excited I

would stroke out and not get to spend a dime :-) I will remember

to remain calm whilst I check the numbers later.. would be nice

though..Id be happy with just a few thousand or three or four.. :-)

Tomato sandwich and some lime koolaid and TV.. is next for me,

"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.....
