~My AC is Out !~

About 8:30 this morning my phone rang and it was Donnie.

Said he had to go to Home Depot cuz they didn't have WHITE

electrical outlet covers..only OFF white at Mennards.Well if you

know him,it HAS to be what he wants or he wont use it.. Dawn

told him "its ONLY a garage, who will KNOW" ..Donnie says

"SHE is NOT allowed in my garage..I WILL KNOW"..:-D

So he said, as hes backing out of his driveway, in the thick fog we

had this morning and was going to come by here and take out the

air conditioner from my bedroom window...As Im talking to

him on the phone..I hear this LOUD..BANG BANG BANG..

at the door, scared the daylights otta me.. I hear on the phone-

Donald is saying "GRAN! OPEN THE DOOR, ITS ME!".. I

laffed so hard..buggar..scared me..he knew he would.. He

got here pretty fast for it being so foggy out..

Well he had to move the credenza from in front of the window,

the stuff on top of it..He says "you coulda had this cleared off

for me ya know.." well like I informed him I surely WOULD

have if he hadnt sneaked up on me.. :-) He said the storm

windows on this house are pathetic..the windows are rotten

around them..Took him quite a while to get the storm one

back on... He must have gone up and down to the basement

3 times looking for the windows..then he asks ME ..where are

they down there..?? I said "HUH? I have Penny go down and

take pictures so I can see whats down there, I don't KNOW"

:-) He figgured it out.. He said maybe one day next week he

will come and put plastic on the porch screen..I think one of

the screens he brought up goes to the door on the porch ..I

have NO idea... I just hope that kitchen window gets redone

before it gets any colder.. He needs to insulate or fix this

door as well...but KennyKid stays so strung out..well over

80 houses and if hes the only one doing the repairs , well

he has his hands full.. I don't know if he would do as good

a job as Lewis and that old guy that put the living room ones

in.. All I know is that I sure don't want the same size gas bill

I had last winter..that was awful..over 100 dollars a month..

Donnie said gas at the stations Is over 3 dollars a gallon here.

That's awful.. He works in Elkhart, which is Indiana but I don't

know if its cheaper there.. He uses his little car instead of his

big truck.. seems funny to see him driving a car though..hes

always had a truck..this one is a nice big 2 door Dodge..

I made it through the day with no major incidents too which I am

very glad.. I was going to fix my bakers rack in the kitchen and

put the stuff I use all the time on it again..We packed up all my

teapots and I don't know if Im going to put them back up there.

I worry that they might get knocked off..the shelves are not

solid, which makes the stuff unsteady if it is bumped or run into

with a wheel chair.. I have done that MANY times..then sit and

wait to see what is going to get knocked off..thankfully not one

thing has..I wish I did have a nice place to put them.. That's why

I have quit collecting..just to have it..then that means it has to

have a place to be put..well in here Im lucky if I have a place to

be ...Not a lot of room..and every single thing has to have a

place and put back into that place ..I tell this to Penny so she

knows I have to know where things are and they have to be

put back in the same place..When she first started..she didn't

really know..so she did put stuff away ..but then I didn't know

where SHE had decided to put it..so we had a talk and I explained

to her I have to have things put back..and specially NOTHING glass

up high..that I would have to use my grabber to get it.. Like the

dishes above the sink.. I have to make sure she gets me what

I need if I do need something from up there. I cant get that

first thing out of that cabinet..its just too high and with the high sink,

I cant get close enough. The sink comes up to my arm pits.. its

higher than the apartment one even.. I keep my good dishes up

there and the extra stuff I have.. If I have company they can get

what they need them selves...

My chicken was great..I ate half of it.. I only cooked 2 breasts..

was just enough for yesterday and the rest today.. I still have a

bit of that cold or what ever it was.. I know I have the headache

still, but Im not sneezing, thank goodness I know my monitor is

glad of that too!.. I bet I had to wipe that thing off a dozen times

from sneezing on it.. :-) Food..TV...and sleep..I fixed my bed

and pillows after Donnie left So my bed is waiting for me..and

I am SO ready to get Back on it.. I know will be warmer with that

AC out of the window. "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.....
