~Shippin The Kittie ~ :-)

My big boy has been bad and I am going to ship him off in this

box ... :-) LB was just sitting in this box for the longest time, Chris

the lunch girl came in and asked where I was going to ship him

of to...LB just gave her a blank look like "yeah, my mom is gonna

get rid of me, haha"... hes not the bad one..and Dutch really isnt

either .. He gets into stuff but he needs to stay busy, LB is so

content to do nothing..but then other times he goes after Dutch

and forces him to play .. just like Dutch does him...LB is more

the judge type, Dutch is more the happy go lucky kid..everything

is a good thing and needs to be checked out, slapped or tasted. See
the doily on the back of the couch? I have 2 alike..Penny made them.
Our little rigged up diner for the squirrels is getting a good work

out..They are really enjoying it.. The brown squirrel had a good

time today, I noticed that the brown and black squirrel will NOT

eat together..The black will run off the brown one..But they both

eat a little, then run up to the top of the fence and eat the goodies

they took up their with them..Its amazing how easily they climb

and run all up and down this fence. I noticed there are a couple

of nails that stick out and I worry sometimes one of them may

hit it and get hurt.
Well, they go up and down it 90 miles an hour and just have the

best time.. I think I will bring up that chair from the basement

and just use it..Its probly ruined down there anyway...That way

the water and feed will be up off the ground.. I know the water

will just freeze but ..every other day it will be fresh..when Penny

is here...But it will maybe be less snow covered...These squirrels

and birds that sit on the fence and watch us as we watch them..
They sit there and sometimes are just not afraid at all and will just

look right back at us.. I think they are used to seeing the cats and

know they cant get them...but they run when they see me sometimes

if I accidentally rush up to the window.. I missed a great photo today

of a cardinal that was sitting up there.note the garbage can lid is on?
My tree out there is just getting prettier every day..when the sun

hits it just right it just seems to glow..I am watching the ones

across the street and they are changing a lot slower than this

one..But the leaves are dropping steadily, I see the leaf

collector truck all the time...those things are really neat..

Speaking of neat, we are all clean and stocked up ..it can

do what ever it wants for all week end..the boys have food,

we are all clean and I have food..well..we're set.. My nurse

Traci came today and from what she said I wont be having

a home nurse anymore..that I am doing ok..which is good.

My pressure still wont control..it was 185/98 today so I hope

that doesn't change things as far as having a nurse.. She

was very pleased with her daughters pants and said I had

done an excellent job and she knew her daughter would be

glad too..

Im going to make up a flier I think and when I get my machine

up and running I will pursue the alterations and mending.. I

don't think it would benefit me to offer to make clothes I just

don't have the space here for cutting and all I would need to

go into clothes.. I had often thought of trying to design some

good easy on and off clothes for wheelchair ladies.. That

was always the biggest hassle for any of the aides at the

hell home...Someone that couldn't help them selves and

needed help its not easy to get them dressed...I know ive

been on both sides of that.. Getting patients dressed and

then needing help to get dressed my own self.. I hated that.

I felt like I was being flopped and moved and lifted like a

rag doll...and bad thing was, I had NO choice, because I

couldn't do it myself I was so out of it.. Im sure glad I am

cuz those nurses didn't care what they put on me and 9

times out of 10 my clothes didn't match and THAT made

me really upset..but I couldn't say anything about that

either I wasn't co-herent long enough to tell them.. Was a

funny yet sad time... Im glad I am not that way anymore...

I made a nice pot roast today, It will last me all week end..

I put onions and potatoes and gravy in it and slowly cooked

it..The gravy will be excellent I know.. I can smell it.. Im going

to have a nice hot beef sandwich and smush up the tatoes

drench them in that gravy and just EAT IT ALL..like a big

piggie..and I am NOT calling Donald.. He and Dawn are

going away for the week end..its their anniversary.. Camping

to me wouldn't be a trip for an anniversary. a nice hotel in

downtown Chicago or a trip to the casino..THAT is a good

way to spend an anniversary... Im spending the rest of this

nite on my bed after I load a plate with some of my pot

roast.. Then I KNOW what will happen.. Yup..these eyes of

mine will slam right shut and Im down for the count..Oh well..

as long as I revive in the morning..its all good.. Food , TV ,,

and my GORGEOUS WEEBLE words..."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.....
