Amputee life before and after...

~Cold Day~

Today was a pretty good day, cold as could be, only 37 this
morning when I got up.. My furnace clicked on again and I
noticed all night the boys slept right next to me..They don't
like to be cold.. Dutch tried to crawl down the neck of my
top yesterday evening..hes goofy though.. but I think he was
cold. I have a sweater on today myself. I told Penny I was
going to have to get my winter long sleeved tops out now
and put the short sleeve away..Only thing is I have more of
the short sleeve than the long which makes a better variety.
I will be glad when Heidi brings me those new clothes.. I
know I don't really need any I just get tired of wearing the
same thing all the time.. I doubt if any of my photos I have
the same thing on.. that would be awful!! :-)

We are all clean and I had Penny go to the store for me..I
told her how good the meat pie was and that Donnie said
she did great..I tried to keep a taste for her but it just was
NOT possible..what little I had left after the Donald attack,
I ATE it..:-) She can have a taste of the next one..maybe..
She likes making things for me as my recipes are not the
same as hers and she has a few she cooks for.. They like
my spaghetti sauce she said.. I may make some brats,
cabbage and potato's this week end though. Penny got
a nice cabbage when she went to the store.. We are all set
for the week end...

I heard from Heidi today and she advised me to take the
house on the lake if I can get it..she sounded very encouraging
that the grant would be renewed..at least for 2 more years
and then she could work on that.. I called Denise, the lady with
the house and I am going to try to figure out a way to get there
to see it... Heidi said she would take me in her car one night
next week and I think I can get into it.. I did Que's and that was
low to the ground... Heidi is a nurse too so she is very familiar
with wheel chairs...I would be comfortable going out with her..
I called and left a message with Denise and I am hoping the
house hasnt been rented yet..and I still have a chance to get
it.. That would be so good.. I only would have one other concern
and that is about rides and if COA would still give them to me
for like to the Dr..and would I still have the delivered meals etc.
There is a lot to consider .. To move again is a major thing but
Like Heidi said she thinks I need to get out of this house and
into a healthier place..and I agree... The smell is awful...

Penny went down and emptied the de-humidifier and it was
already full..and had shut off... I know it will fill up again by
tomorrow but no one will be by here to go and empty it..It will
shut off automatically when its full but still I worry about stuff
like this over heating or something..Penny said the humidity
level had gone down quite a bit already according to the
thingies on the front of the machine..Its a small little white thing
not very big..so I don't see how it would hold very much water.
I saw Kenny when he took it down there...He said he was
going to come by today and didnt..see? that's what I mean..
This is so old.. I hope that house is better and that I can have
it..Heidi will help me move she said , she has a truck too..and
Penny Im sure she will and probly her sister..Penny has a van
and Kathy has a truck I think..Plus Donnie and Dawn.. it could
be done.. I hope so anyway..Theres so much I want to make
and fix.. I have 2 skirts I havent worn in ages I want to fix and
I need my machine.. I was Hoping to sell this chair but I havent
gotten a call yet.. I may put it in the paper ..see if I can get rid
of it.. Its of no use to me at all.. 2 bedrooms would be great.

Well I know where THIS bedroom is here and I have to say
this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is ready to get out of this
chair my butt is screaming at me to GET OFF.. so I have
to listen.. I have some lemon cookies and some kool aid
all mixed, Im all set for some TV..time to say "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.....

    It is going down to 45 tonight. That is about 8C. brrr. I am not putting the heat on yet - I have to have the furnace checked. I have oil-steam heat and last year other than a pipe cleaning - the system did not need much work. I repeat brrrr. I hope you get that house.

    Now Lois that is cold, our was in the 50 F somewhere...the days are wonderful...got some painting done this afternoon on the back of the house.
    Lois it alright to have the same clothes on, most of my pictures are taking in my blue blouse. because I love wearing it so much, plus I have two of them...it hard to fine blouses I like to wear, so if there are 2 and sometimes 3 of them in my size I buy them... I wear my blouses all year long too...I do have a vest I like to wear now if I get cold...they do not hold up as well, to many washing does them in real fast.
    Pam has a new staff person, so far she going to be good for Pam. Time will tell.
    Working at the church all day Saturday...sure hope a few more show up to work...
    Lois you have a great weekend OK...
    God bless you
    Mary

    Hi, Honey,
    That sounds encouraging, about the house. I hope and pray that you will get it. I keep nagging the Good Lord about you. I'm sure He hasn't forgotten you, not if He's listening to li'l ol' me!!
    Being a typical male, I wear the same old combats, shirt and top every day, except Sundays. Then it's my posh go-to-church outfit - well polished black, lace-up shoes, grey socks, grey slacks, white shirt, tie and blazer.
    You always look a stunningly GORGEOUS WEEBLE in the many different outfits that you wear. But the most important thing you wear is that lovely smile!!
    Take care, Honey. L.O.L. & G.B.H. from
    Raife
