~Im Cranky~

I think we are going to have some weather.. Ive been up
since 4 am. My right stump is giving me fits.. All this whole
day long that thing has throbbed... Its not been this aggravating
for such a long time in quite awhile..There isnt even any way
I can sit to be comfortable for any amount of time.. Between
this cold, my angel wing being bent and now my stump is
achine..I guess there really isnt too many parts of me that
ARENT pure D miserable.. No wonder Im cranky today.. I
know I am cause I havent even talked to my own self .. :-)
Let alone any one else! :-)


Heidi was here for about an hour and she even commented
on how icky it was out there.. Its cold..kinda, in the 50's but
its the damp and fog..She said some places are hard to see.
She came here from the office there at keystone. I see lots
of cars with their headlights on. It seems to never fail..when
there is a holiday that's when the weather wants to just show
us that it can do what ever it pleases ANYTIME..and usually
when it knows it will ruin a holiday.. I know our weather says
70% chance of rain tomorrow..turning to snow..Just probly
enough to make driving miserable and give you a headache.

Other than doing nothing but send emails back and forth and
I did take a rest I had to, getting up at 4 is a little early.. but I
was telling Heidi..how she has to go every day and face the
traffic and cope with other people..and here I sit..doing only
what I want to do when I want to do it..and yet I complain? She
is a nurse, In fact Heidi was a nurse at the Hellhome last year.
She couldn't stand it..from what I gather Dawn and Jan are
still there..Jan is a good nurse,but you cant trust her..I couldn't
and found out the hard way..She was single then..I wonder if
she ever got married, she was. probly still is a very nice tall
blonde..and she was ok..She always worked days..and always
had B hall where I was.. She was nice to me..brought me
lots of little things she knew I liked..cookies or what ever. I
think she even brought me some earrings knowing I liked to
wear them and I had nothing there.. very little..everything was
packed up..I gathered clothes as I went from place to place,
they gave them to me.. By the time I got to my apartment I had
some nice outfits.. Some of the nurses there were very nice..
Dawn..shes the one that gave me my TV that I still have..Some
one passed away and the family said to give it to another
resident..she knew I didn't have one, so she brought it to me..I
still have it...its not working the best..but It sure has given me
a lot of good watching..well, when I can stay awake enough.. I
found some photos of some of the staff at the hell home I will
have to put them here and tell what I remember about them..
Most were really nice to me..it was the administration that
did NOT want me there...

Well I want me to get out of this chair.. I need to change the
way im sitting to see if this stump will let up or I will end up calling
it everything but what it is.. It is really achy.. Some food, I don't
know what- its one of those "seek and ye shall find" things tonite.
I don't feel the greatest and I am not really hungry..more thirsty
than anything and THATs NOT good not this time of day..Plus
I have a cat trying to crawl into my lap..Dutch is trying to tell me
something too..I better listen and 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.....

    In the 50's when girls were teen agers they called their monthlies - the curse.
    the curse could be relieved with chamomile tea.
    It seems when the barometric pressure goes down - you get stump pains. I do not have the answer. Mention the barometric pressure thing to your nurse.

    Hello Lois
    Wow you had some long day too. Hogans Heroes, Yes I call Patsy to let her know, she said that was her first through only...anyway love both of those TV show.
    I think my feet don't like me anymore, they sure are complainting tonight...but it going to be another long day Wednesday too.
    I will have my grandson all day Wednesday, he really is a good helper know matter what I need done. got a lot of cooking to do,a Dr appt for Pam 12:15 , Becky birthday party 3:30...and at 6 PM going to help the church get the finshing touch ready for the Shepherd's Feast at the church for anyone that don't have family...they do a wonderful job helping the people here...I wish I could do more, but there know way I can right now.
    Our thanksgiving meal will be at noon, that the way my mom did it all down through the years...Bob Mom always had her at 4:30 PM always...so we got to go to both all the time.
    When our parents were no longer able to, I started doing it here at noon and always had who wanted too come at 4:30 for left over...I enjoyed the evening one more, not so much to do but warm it up.And not as many here, so got to visit more.
    Lois I might not be here Wednesday night...
    I hope your day goes better then it did today.
    God bless you
    Mary

    Honeydear!
    I am so sad to hear that my little lois is havin it bad, and this makes me forgot my troubles for awhile.... You see i got serious trouble with my puter, so i write this on a borrowed one. I have trouble with the old car, and stil has to wait for the new one.... Not your sort of bad problems, but aggrivatin enough for me... IYou see, without puter i wont be able to talk with you, and not talkin to YOU is one of the worst things that can happen to a man with the feelings i have. Well lets hope for better things ahead for you... With your wing (angle there), Your little stump and finally your all to small house, not to speak about your chairruined hand........... You are lovely, and you are my best friend and i dont want you to have any more troubles in your life. I think about you all the time, and really do hope my own puter get well again. OOOPS theyre are on their way now the jobbuddies and they have to report on this computer so...
    Bye bye HON
    Your own
    ROB
