~Boxes~


I had forgotten Penny was coming by today too.. this isnt her
usual day but she picks up the food boxes for some of her clients,
me for one.. Usually, well before, they gave it out on Wednesday,
which worked pretty good since that was her regular day here..
Now its extra.. but we all give her some extra of the stuff they give
us that we don't want- we, well at Least I do, I give it to her..It was
mostly canned stuff today or cereal, rice or beans, which I give to
her sometimes unless Ive run out which very seldom happens.. As
you see.. the boy would NOT let me throw the box away, as he has
his little patootie butt in it.. He loves boxes.. he has the best time
with them.. Of course you see where LB is.. hes not paying any
attention to the kid.. In fact he was ignoring me too.. I had to yell at
him 4 times to get him to look at me so I could take a better picture.
Now.. is that a rotten kid? LB finally looked at me..but see? his EYES
are closed ! hes so BAD! Dutch is sitting there looking so innocent..
Spoiled kids.. I look at this photo and I see things better than I do being
right here looking at them! :-) My bookcase sure needs to be fixed up,
and made neater.. and that CHAIR..sheesh.. those are tops that we
just havent put away-short sleeve ones for summer- my desk isnt looking
too very neat either... theres 2 bottles of paint there that I was gonna use
to cover that little window in the door that drives me nuts.. I hate that
window there.. even though I KNOW no one could see in it. I just don't like
glass in doors...

I remember a long time ago.. I was sitting on the couch in my living room..
was a stormy night outside.. wind and rain.. I was sitting at the far end of
the sofa and at the other end of it was the door that went outside.. It was
an old fashioned kind..that most of it was glass..I hadnt had a chance to
make curtains for it yet.. I was sitting there reading this book and I heard
a noise outside.. I leaned forward and looked toward the door.. I JUMPED
BACk.. my heart was pounding !!! I saw someone looking BACK at me!
I sat there terrified afraid to move, not knowing WHO could be out there.?..
I didn't know what to do.. I slowly leaned forward again to see if whom ever
it was, was still there, I peeked at the glass and LOOKED close.. Well.....
YOU KNOW who it was??? DUH.. ME!! I scared my own self half to death.
My heart was pounding even worse AFTER I realized that it was ME that
scared me so bad.. I NEVER told a soul about this either :-) So .. NOW
you know WHY I hate glass in doors ! :-) I felt like such an Idiot.... :-)

Rainy, foggy, drab and dull day today..but Penny went and got a Icee for
me.. If DQ ever quits these lime ones I will be SO upset.. They are so good.
I get really thirsty sometimes and these, honestly, are the ONLY thing that
will quench my thirst.. They are so good.. I only drink..well maybe 2 cups of
coffee in the morning..mostly only 1.. then the rest of the day if its not a
Penny day I have water with lime kool aid in it.. that's about all I drink of
a whole day.. maybe 2 bottles at the most.. My Icee fills 2 bottles..and I
keep one for when I log off and take it into the bedroom with me for when
I watch TV.. I try not to drink much after 7 or so cuz then I KNOW I will
be up to make a potty call..

Speaking of calls.. I did call to see about getting my railing fixed around
my potty, but of course no one has called me back YET.. I called when..
2 weeks ago about this? so this is 2nd reminder about this railing being
broken.. this is just what I mean and what makes me so mad.. I hate when
I have to keep calling about stuff.. I know theyre busy but, if she would do
what ever she needs to right then..I would have a new railing by now..not
still be waiting.. Gets so old.. and its very discouraging.. This visit to the
Dr tomorrow should be most interesting.. I am very anxious to hear what
HE or she has to say..the excuses for no action being taken or not being
given anything to make it stop spreading.. I cant wait to hear it.. Should
be really good.. I hope Julie is there too... I honestly consider this abuse,
and I honestly feel this type of treatment..is neglect and a violation of my
rights to have decent care.. They are making the obstacles not me.. My
appt is at 1:30.. so when I get back I will write my post and fill you in on
the outcome of the DOCTOR visit .. :-)

My visit right now is out to the kitchen and to make a P B & J sandwich. I
have been wanting one for 2 days.. why I don't know.. Ive just been too
lazy to make one ..but today I am.. then its TV and I know I wont make it to
11 much less 10.. I saw half of Medium last nite and missed the whole end
of it.. I hate when I do that.. I did watch a good movie earlier tho, and I love
movies.. just those flippin commercials.. I hate those things.. I think THATS
what puts me to sleep! :-) Time to post and say my famous 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.....

    Hello Lovely and Gorgeous Friend!

    Cute photos of you good friends - nice to have faithful friends like that. And they can be entertaining - like when they have boxes to play with - lol.

    You know, no matter how much you keep up with it - there is always something that needs fixing. Yesterday I was painting a door frame - after I messed it up pushing something through it - lol. Anyway, I managed to get paint on the wall above the frame - didn't see it right away. Tried to wash it off with water and ammonia after only about 20 minutes - wouldn't budge. Ended up having to repaint the wall above the door - geeesh.

    Don't you hate it when people don't call back - happens all the time. Unless they want money from you...

    Anyway - have a great day!! Stay as gorgeous as you are. And get those short sleeves and other summer stuff ready - it's coming.

    Bare Hugs,

    Butty
