~New Mouse Tomorrow~

Penny came today but we didn't get a chance for her to

go and get another mouse as she had to leave early to take her

daughter up to Lansing..so she said she would be here

tomorrow to make up lost time and would go to the store

then.. This old mouse I am using is driving me insane its

so awful to use..its the rolling ball type and its old old..it

just works when it feels like it..Ive taken it out and cleaned it

so many times its pathetic..doesnt help..Im glad I have it,

but I will be glader tomorrow with a new one..

My lap is red and very sore today, in fact I was up about

3 times last nite because of it and due to the fact I have a

horrible miserable cold and I am not feeling good at all.. I

bet I have sneezed 9 Brazilian times.. I know this was NOT

the best day ... Im so tired and feel just wore out..perhaps

is a good thing its the week end and I don't need to worry

about anything those days..I think that's one of the rules of

the week end...no worries.. relax, sleep, eat..

Poor Dawn she works all week, comes home and works some

more..Donnie says "I go to work in the Dark, come home in the

dark..lm like a bat, I only go out in the dark" I bet many feel that

way.. Working 2 jobs it would.. I know I tried that.. I worked first

shift at Ben Franklin, and 2nd at EDS when I lived in GreenBay

I felt I had NO life at all..I didn't do it for long..was just too much

for me..

No one has taken me up on my offer Im sad..I do plan to call COA

though and see if they may have someone they know that does

help people get winterized.. Penny said she can put the plastic up

in the porch and If I get some lined thermal drapes for over the

windows in the bedroom that should really help.. I feel such a draft

in there at night its awful.. I have 3 woolbies in there to cover us

up..The boys sleep on top of me to stay warm in there the windows

are so drafty, plastic would help but then that's another job to add

on to my list.. and its already so full its scaring everyone off :-)

I am making this short as I cant predict how long this mouse will

work, tomorrow I will have a new one again.. We made some

goulash in the crock pot and it smells so good..and of course I

am hungry.. this miserableness has not affected my appetite sadly.

its only made me tired..I am hungry and tired and my scorched

stump and lap are not making me feel too good..and its time to

lighten the load so to speak..and go and watch tv..I might do some

knitting.. Early to post, early to bed, early to rise, hopefully tomorrow

I will be happy and wise... "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks ! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,
