~Another Challenge~

Todays challenge was spiders! ok ONE ...but it was a kind I don't

remember seeing before unless its a mutant.. It was white, almost

transparent..and looked fluffy kinda... NOW, guess where this spider

was? Well, to start this.. I was at my desk listening to some music

and getting some things ready to mail..and I hear Dutch steady

squeaking out in the kitchen.. When he does that something is wrong.

This is like at 5:30 this morning now..and I have only just started

drinking my first coffee..I KNOW im a GORGEOUS WEEBLE,

but well at that time of the morning I am NOT at my very best,

mood, either...Dutch was just carrying on like its something

really drastic ...so I HAD to go and look....
I roll through the door and I look for him and I don't see him

anywhere, my first thought was he got trapped under the

kitchen sink again..but that was closed off..I hear another of

his squeaks and look up and hes sitting on top of the fridge

looking up at the ceiling, so naturally I look to see what he is

looking at.. And THERE IT WAS!!! A SPIDER!!!.. that thing

was headed right over top of my head ! I backed up back

into the living room and real fast went into my bedroom where

there was a handle to my old carpet sweeper. There was

nothing up here I could get to, Penny hangs the broom and

mop in the basement . This was the only thing I could think of

that might reach the ceiling... I grab it..I have to tuck it under

my chin so I can roll my chair ...
I get back into the kitchen and I look up trying to find where the

spider has run off to, and it was still up there just Going back and

forth across the ceiling driving Dutch totally insane, hes up on

the fridge going around in circles trying to reach it... LB hes over

laying on the blue thing in front of the window looking at the two

idiots Getting all bent out of shape over some little white furry

spider.! I get sort of not really UNDER this thing, but I almost

have to as the handle of this thing I bet isnt any longer than 4 foot

maybe? I reach up and well I didn't reach it of course, so I have

to sort of hold on with my left hand and try to really almost stand

in this chair if Im gonna reach the ceiling.. well I reached it...and

I hit the spider. Being up like that I was off balance and so was

the handle thing it went farther than what I expected and it hit

the ceiling light, it swayed, and I knocked a little tiny chunk out

of it and it has a slight crack now..Im lucky that didn't fall down.
Look close at LB's mouth..do you see that smirk there? I do..:-)

Well I didn't see where the spider went, I looked all over the floor

and the walls, and at Dutch. As close as he was watching I thought

he would have kept an eye on it..Well he didn't see it either.. So

I sat there for a little while, Dutch got down off the fridge and LB

well hes still over on the blue thing watching us, I know he was

shaking his head and laffing.. Well anyway I see Dutch jump up

at the wall..the white facing around the hallway by the bakers

rack.. I roll closer and here is that spider running as fast as it can

up the wall ! I still had the handle thing and smacked it with that

and well this house is minus one white fuzzy spider, I just hope

he doesn't have any relatives... :-) I don't do bugs.. and whos

gonna notice a small crack in a light fixture when you have 10

foot ceilings? Shhh...don't tell.. :-D So, THAT was todays drama.
I had expected and sort of hoped 4 people would come by today,

and only 1 did, Penny. I had thought Heidi was, but she phoned and

said tomorrow, Ken, he said he was coming but I havent heard

anything and I forgot to ask Penny if the tarp was still in the garage.

The 4th was Robert, the lawn mower guy. I sure hope he comes

soon or the city will give me a ticket for the grass being too long. I

called the COA last week about it..so I will call again tomorrow. It

has to be done.. As long as Penny showed up that's the main one.

I treated to breakfast and we got a lot done.. shes a good kid. :-)

Penny brought up some things from the basement that were beyond

saving.. I had a huge box of sewing thread, every color there is..I bet

over 100 spools and almost every one was moldy and smelled.. I

sent her down with a camera so I could see what was what and I was

really sad to see it..My wood dining room chairs had mold growing

on them.. my old cedar chest that was made back in the late 40's is

solid mold.. I am so upset about it..and there is nothing I can do ....

I did talk to Heidi today about finding out about this grant, if its a

permanent thing for me being disabled, as it stands now its only for

2 years and no extensions.. If that's the case for me, I will have to

look for HUD housing again.. which would more than likely mean

an apartment... I couldn't rent a house on just my income...not

possible... I need to get all my ducks in a row..look how fast this

year has gone that I have been in this house..the 23rd of this month

I will have been in here a year..was a Tuesday last year I think..
Maybe Ken will Get this house HUD subsidized..that would be one

less worry for me when this grant is up.. I have to start my plan of

attack...

Right now its time to attack my kitchen, lunch wasn't very good so

I didn't eat much of it so I am kinda hungry I may make a pimento

cheese sandwich with a nice slice of tomato on it..That's good

stuff...I forgot to get more pumpkin cookies..ratz..oh well.. I don't

really need sweets , GORGEOUS WEEBLES are ALWAYS

SWEET :-) on that note im saying "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.....
