~Bad Start~

Well for a Monday, it started off crappy from the git go.. I

should not have even got up today..First off Penny was an

hour and a half late, and she didn't even call.. I had to call

her sister and see if she knew where she was.. well she

phoned me right back(Penny) and said her alarm didn't go

off and she would be here asap..this was at 9:20.. At 10:45,

Penny got here. I was NOT pleased, but well a few minutes is

better than none, at least the trash is out..

While Penny was here I sent her down to the basement to look

for a muffin pan.. She was down there forever so I finally opened

the door and asked if she had found it.. When I opened it..the

SMELL that came up from down there was nauseous , I almost

threw up when I got a good smell of it.. I made Penny come up

from down there.. There is water on the floor and she said and I

did see some for myself..but there is black mold all over the walls

down there..That's NOT GOOD... I don't like this at all.. All my things

down there are destroyed.. I bet even my wheelchairs reek from

that awful smell.. Needless to say I went into a seriously BAD mood.

I called Ken and asked him if he could change the date for his visit,

and come today ..not Wednesday... Something has to be done.. I

rented this house with the understanding it had a good basement

for storage, well that is not so..and ALL my material..chairs, tables,

everythings ruined ... That mold smell will not wash off or rinse off

ever.. I am so upset about this.. I seem to just have more and more

problems thrown at me.. Ive religiously checked the papers, here

and in 3 of the neighboring towns..looking for a better place, and I

just havent found anything..not that I can afford..$623.oo a month

doesn't rent much.. apartments..but I would rather live in a tent than

move into a no privacy apartment and have to put up with all the

other people that live there.. I prefer privacy.. and a house is the

only way or a mobile home and they are NOT made for chairs...

I woke up to rain today which didn't help ease the pressure in my

stumps yet.. I bet I woke up 3 times last nite to try to find a good

way to lay.. I think its the same problem as before..the mattress,

that's why I got this new bed..I had hoped it would come with a

decent mattress not just plastic over springs..you can feel them

thru the plastic..that's how hospital mattresses are.. just some

thing to lay on..But I think that could be causing the back problems

again.. like I had before and we figured it was from that.. Could

be the pillows too..or maybe Im not doing my stumpercizes

enough.. I do them every morning before I get up... :-)

Well I have to spray something in here or I wont be able to eat

at all..The smell..the nasty moldy odor seems to just hang in

here and has totally erased any appetite.. I havent eaten all day

because of it, and I have pills to take so I have NO choice but

to eat.. maybe just a quick PB&J will work.. This smell even

makes me cough.. I wonder if that's what is causing LB to do

like he does? He sounds like he has asthma..he didn't before

we moved in here..makes me wonder now..THAT would MOST
DEFINEITLY NOT be good if this bloody house caused my boy

to be sick..I WOULD get VERY upset..bet I could make the

Kenny's and Chris sick too by the time I was done.. THis is SO

not good.. What a day.. and Ive not heard that first word from

Heidi at all..I called left a message, and not heard anything..THAT

I don't specially care for either..

Well everyone needs to keep their eyes open for a place for this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE and her boys..to live.. anything has to be

better than this smelly small house... as long as its NOT an apartment.

I honestly don't care which state, county or country..as long as its

better and bigger.. and doesn't SMELL.... This smell is horrible..

gives me a bad headache...and don't say " a head like mine ought

to ache", either :-) If you find someplace..call, write, phone..anything

even western union or fed ex if you have to..but let me KNOW!!!

Well lm gonna fix that PB&J and spray some more in here..Ive gone

thru a can of air freshner since this morning already..not good.. and

the rain isnt helping... Food, TV and sleep..not necessarily in that

order though.. sleep might be before the TV .."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.....
