~I'm Getting There ~ :-)

I, well WE, Penny and I got quite a bit done today and I am

sort of pleased that things are getting squared away more or

less. We worked in my bedroom and we did fix my mirror here

in the living room above the couch.. Looks so much better thanks

to a wonderful valentines gift that was sent to me. I LOVE brass,

and with the burgundy and pale yellow in here..Its so nice and the

colors just are so rich looking and I love it.. I still need some thing

for the right side of the mirror.. I wish I had some more of those

little brass butterflies like the only one I have on the left side of my

mirror..

The leaves came with flowers in them and I tried it both ways, I like

it plain with out the flowers..I think it just looks 100% better than it

did.. I had this gold wire edged ribbon that I made into a bow there

in the very bottom center and that just added to it even more..Penny

was very pleased with it as well.. Im so glad she already got her

Income tax back, she was really waiting for that.. When she got here

she told me how bad the roads really are after that Rain and then

Snow.. There is what we call Black Ice..you cant see it..but If you hit

it, trust me, you WILL know it...Its very dangerous.. We are expecting

at least 6 inches of snow.. Was amazing.. When I went in to watch TV

and to do some knitting, it was raining..we had snow.. I got up about

11 pm..the snow was gone.. I got up again at 430..and the ground was

covered again.. Its snowed on and off all day and sposta all week..

I got up this morning for a potty call and when I locked down, and went

to transfer forward on to the potty my right brake gave out. I almost

fell. I have learned not to trust my brakes, hard way I might add. I

caught myself..sure woke ME up, but now I have to see about getting

these brakes checked.. Its been gradually going and I ve been keeping

an eye on these brakes..but at 430 in the morning..well Im not as aware

as I am during the day, and the brake not holding caught me off guard.

No damage, just a "TAKE NOTICE LOIS"...so I don't have a nasty fall

out of this chair backwards.. that would NOT be a good thing. I plan to

call and see who I call to get it fixed..

I have been talking about getting rid of this useless hard and slippery

hospital bed I have and looking through the sale papers, today I saw

a double seated recliner..Like a love seat type..holds 2 people. I talked

to my sis as she has had to sleep in her recliner for almost 2 years..

She has a really Bad arm and shoulder problem, she has a hard time

sleeping in a bed. But I think this double recliner might be really nice

for me.. They go almost flat..and I cant lay flat anyway..only problem I

see would be when I sit up to sleep that I could just keep going forward,

and THAT wouldn't be good. I started sleeping that way in the HHome

as I had trouble breathing and It was a different way to sleep.. Now I

do it, I get tired of always laying on my back. I wish I could lay on my

left side, but Ive not lain that way since I had my 2nd abdominal bypass,

and it goes down my left side.. Hurts when I lay on it.. I have more crap

that gives me problems its disgusting :-) oh well..joys of amputee life...

I earned my tired today, and Penny has earned hers, and poor Penny

when she left here she had to go to another client..that well.. from what

I know of others that have atken care of those clients.. they are NOT

the easiest ones to care for, LOTS of work.. Shes very good and Is so

willing to do anything I ask of her..and that sure means a lot to me. I

try to give her extra things..we look out for each other..:-)

Im gonna go look out in my kitchen now for some dinner.. I had a fish

sandwich for lunch from Mc D's..they are the best of any of the fast

foods, so Im not really hungry, I may make a PB&J sammich.. I love

those things.. I don't have any banana though ..oh well.. theyre still

good.. A sammich, the rest of my icee and to go in and watch my

now fixed CABLE! the cable was due to come Wednesday, The

guy called and asked if he could come today..silly man..had to ask..

Ive been waiting for a week well not really but when cable is crappy

it seems that long when your waiting for the repair man. Now to

post and finish today ... First, my GORGEOUS WEEBLE..

"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.....
