~The Lunch Sweetie~

Meet Donna.. This is the sweet little lady that brings my

lunch every day..She always has time to stop and of course

pet the both of the boys..she cant leave until she does- they

see to that.. She has pets of her own and my boys wait for

her every day..She delivers my 'wonderful?' lunch whether

its raining or sunny. not on the bad snow days though.. I

showed her her photo and told her I was going to put it here

today so that everyone could see she is real. I should have

taken her photo with those wonderful lunches she brings..

She laughs when I tell her how badly something looks or how

awful it tastes..and I know she passes my comments along

to the higher ups.. And I am NOT the only one that complains

according to her.. Im not sure how many she delivers to but

quite a few.. I will have to ask..be interesting to find out.. But

she is a nice little bright spot for us and I appreciate her a lot.

So..now when I say Donna, or the lunch girl you know who I

am talking about. :-)

Penny came today and she put on a loaf of saffron bread..If

you could smell it in here..its heavenly .. I LOVE saffron.. I just

wish it wasn't so expensive.. I figure with the cost of it and

the mix..well about 10.oo.. but worth every single penny..this

smell brings back so many memories of watching my mother

and my grandma make those great saffron buns.. I cant make

them..so I settle for the bread..which is just as good when you

have to have a saffron 'fix' so to speak.....and Penny and my

breadmaker sure can make some great saffron bread..
I did accomplish something..and I have to say Penny was very

proud of me as she knows me really well and knows how badly

I hate going to the Dr. But I called and I made an appointment

for as soon as possible..which is this wed. at 10:45. so.. I will

be going to the Dr then. I called COA and have a ride set up

with Curtis to come and get me.. Hes used to taking me and

hes so very nice.. I took the photos that I put here for you to see,

and more or less for a record to show if this trip to the Dr will

help and heal what ever this is.. its on BOTH hands and part

of my arms as well.. Some of these spots are scratches from

playing with Dutch..and they refuse to heal and have gotten

very red..as you see..
Myself.. I really don't know.. Ive never had anything like this.. but
I was sitting here trying to think of when this started and I can

only remember that when I started this patch for blood pressure

that before that I only had the tiny spot on my thumb..on the right

one. When I have to put this weekly patch on I switch arms. first

on the left arm then the following week to the right.. I read a

comment from Momar that this could possibly be recurring staph..

which.. rings a LOUD bell..as I KNOW for a fact I do have staph

that I carry..that's why whenever I have had to have invasive

surgery they do a flush of antibiotics to stop the staph..which a

couple times still didn't work.. So that could be the culprit..or it

has to be that patch that I really am allergic to and didn't know it

Ive never had it before..
Everything Ive tried just is not working, so I cant take any more

chances.. my thumb as you can see is swollen today and I will

admit..this is the first its really hurt..not bad..but its letting me know

that its there.. so its time.. But in ALL honesty.. I HATE going to

a Dr.. I know many LOVE to go.. I am NOT one of them.. but I

think she or whom ever the Dr will be this time can fix it or may

be, which I HOPE not..I will have to see a skin specialist or some

thing.. I sure don't want to .. but If I have to I will..This could be just

caused from bad circulation and Im not getting enough blood flow

to cure this crap and that's why its not healing.. and because its

steadily gotten worse.. I KNOW the blood flow isnt up to par in

both of my hands.. the extreme coldness I feel at times tells me

that.. But what ever this is.. I just don't want it to spread anywhere

else.. like to my left stump scar that still is NOT the best either..

its been flaring up a bit too..but it could be all connected and I

guess I just need to wait and see what the Dr asys when I go on

Wednesday.. and I WILL go...IF there IS no SNOW..and this is
sposta be a good week..Even Erica mentioned that when she said
"Hi Lois, this should be a good week to come here"... keep your
fingers crossed.. :-)

Right now, guess where Im going? yup..to get some of that bread

that is out there cooling waiting for me.. It should be just the right

temperature to handle yet the butter will melt into it and ok.. I
HAVE to Post this and eat some of that bread.. I cant Stand it :-)

Time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE words.. "Nitey Nite"

Go ahead, say it.. "its about TIME Lois, you made that appt." aint

ya proud of me? :-) wasn't easy you know.. :-)

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.....
