Amputee life before and after...

~Fast Day~

Today has gone by really fast. It could be because I didn't get
up till 9:30..Ive not slept that late in a long time.. I posted the
blog yesterday and went off line right after that..well no not off
line, away from my computer.. I never shut my computer off. I
am just not logged onto anything and it goes into sleep mode.
But I guess I dozed off as soon as I got comfortable on my
bed and I know I saw some TV, but I cant remember what.. I
know I woke up at 11 and was wide awake.. I looked online
to check messages and email..everyone was asleep by then.
So I went back to bed and about 2 was the last time I remember
seeing what time it was.. I did wake up about 6:30 as the kids
were wanting breakfast, I was a rotten mother and ignored them,
and they waited, not happily but they did.. :-)

Penny was due to come in today and she phoned to ask if she
could come tomorrow instead as her son had the baby ..well his
wife did.. they had to do an emergency C Section and take the
baby, she wasn't quite 5 pounds, but Penny said she is doing
great..She and some others wanted to go up to hospital this
morning and needed Penny to take them. As long as she comes
tomorrow..its fine.. If I wasn't out of cat food for the boys I would
tell her she didn't have to come in at all.. But just in case she cant
come on Monday, which has happened a few times.. I usually
never let their food get this low, so is my own fault.. I will fix that
though if she comes tomorrow..it will be a trip to the store ...

Their new lazer has just give out.. The little button to push on just
went way inside and I tried for hours to fix it..but I just didn't have
any luck..The kids are upset.. This new lazer has different shapes
not just a dot..They don't like the dot..but this one has shapes of
a star, butterfly, even a mouse..I think cuz its bigger than the dot,
they can see it better.. They sure like these things though and the
exercise for them both is what they need.. They are active cats
and do chase each other but this is good for them too..Although
sometimes it does lead to a major fight if they both want the light.
Then they both stop, glare at each other then Lunge at each
other and the fight is on.. They don't even listen to me when I tell
them to stop.. So I have to get them a new one.. Plus I ran out of
treats.. that's not good either.. I have cookies..they need treats..
only fair :-)

I called COA again to see if they knew of any beauty shops here in
town that took wheel chair people.. Do you know they had NO IDEA?
I asked them.. "don't you think it would be nice if you took the time to
find out about wheel chair accessible places..Im Sure im not the only
person with COA that's in a chair".. Isnt that right? The girl that I talked
to said.."we have NO idea, you will have to go thru the phone book
listings and find one your self".. Now.. aint that just something? I told
her she or someone needs to make note of that.. they NEED to know
this..what is wheel chair acessible here and what isnt.. ANyway I did
find one.. its over by my pharmacy and I talked to Curtis and asked
how early they will give rides.. My hair appointment is for 9 am next
Wednesday.. I am debating on getting it cut a little.. but I do know
when I roll out of that place every hair on my head will all be ONE
color again :-) NOW..THAT will be a MAJOR treat.. Its just so hard
to do here.. and by the time I finish I am totally wore out.. This going
to the Beauty Shop I have wanted to do for..hmmm.. 6 years I think..
ive not Been since I was in the hell Home..no..7... well 2001..Its time
I think.. :-)

Well its that time to say my GORGEOUS WEEBLE words
again.. and time for a snack ..I am NOT going to take a nap today
either.. just watch TV and knit.. Im getting that afghan done..slow
but surely... I better hurry baby will be here soon!..:-) Hope you
have a nice relaxing week end.. "Nitey Nite" :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya.. and THANKS!!! :-)
Always, Lois ****

    Hello Lois
    Nice you got to sleep in my friend...that what I am hoping to do in the morning myself...
    I work all day at the church in the fellowship hall, it look a little bit better I think...still more to do.
    Well do the general cleaning Saturday for Sunday. I did have some help for 2 hours today every bit helps.
    I got to buy more dogs food Saturday or my puppy will run out...wish I could pick up some cat food for your boys too.
    Most of my family getting together right after church for lunch at Sirloin Stockade...we are going to do this once a month, starting something new for us. I just want to see Beth and Robert more often, they stay so busy and or I am to busy...hoping my grandchildren will join us too...all but one has a job and he is just 9.
    That way we can just visit and no clean up. Sound real good to me.
    Getting older does pay off at times.
    Hey going to a Beauty Shop make us feel so much better, I only get hair cuts...I need to give myself a perm or get my hair cut again...
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary

    We have 2 modes of transportation for wheelchair bound people. City busses and accessaride. Not all churches are wheelchair accessible. My client has to do 12 steps or so up to the sancuary or 10 steps down to the bathroom. There are new theaters whic are not 100% wheelchair accessible.
