~A Place For Everything~

Well we are all cleaned up from the week end. We were

not real slobs this time.. No, I don't make messes and if

I do I will clean up after myself. Only thing I don't do are

dishes, I cant reach the faucets on my sink in the kitchen.

I really need to do some re arranging but the way it is out

there, theres, not a lot I can do.. The sink comes up to my

chin, and its a double one, and they built the backsplash up

higher than the sink and that's where the faucets are. I

can just barely reach them... Its not easy to steady turn the

water on and off I do put what ever dishes I may use in

there but I rinse them off or soak them so its not so hard

for Penny. To keep my arms up that high which would be

shoulder high makes them ache horribly if I do that for

too long.. I sound like such a whiner.. I do try to keep up

on things cuz I cant stand when things get out of place.

My grandmother had a huge home, 4 bedrooms upstairs and

a bath. Plus a huge attic.. At the end of the hall was a large

cupboard with shelves to store linens and things. As my

Grandmother aged she got a housekeeper and she never

went back up the stairs.. she was just too frail.. But when

Mrs, Fansher would need to put something away or if

Grandmother wanted something from the cupboard or

from anywhere upstairs, Mrs Fansher had to be sure to

tell her where exactly she put it.. No matter how much

time went by, Grandmother knew exactlty where everything

was up there. If anything was moved by anyone and my

Grandmother was not informed she got really upset.


I am pretty much the same way. I can tell you if something

has been moved or where it is.. Penny puts things away for

me, but I do like my Grandmother, I need to know where

exactly she put them.. Top shelf, left hand side, in the back.

I have to laugh at Penny sometimes, when she dusts the

top of my desk here, I have everything just so. The candles

are spaced exactly the same apart, the tops of the jars

have to be the same... She will ask, "Lois, look and make sure

I have put everything back right, cuz if I didn't you know

if you spot it later and cant fix it, it will make you crazy.."

We laugh but Penny knows me.. :-)

Well with a tiny house every single thing has to have a place

or it will look crappy and messy and cluttery. Mine is a tad

cluttery but I hide stuff.. Anyone looked under my couch

they would see how I stash stuff.. Before I got my new

wardrobe it was all under the bed! I knew I had to get it

out from under there so I can get rid of this bed, a

recliner, its not a storage one, so I had to make some

arrangements.

I did call a few places to see about getting some help to

get a new recliner, apparently Deborah with HPM is on

holiday so hopefully when she gets back she may have

some ideas for me whom to contact. I was in touch today

with the nicest guy from Disability Resources, and I

am hoping Tim may be able to do some checking for me

as well... I think a nice chair besides this wheely one

would be such a treat.. I watch TV now sitting on my bed,

well I just fall asleep..that's what beds are for.!. I do

honestly think I would sleep better in a chair than on

this awful bed.. Soon will be October and I plan to really

tighten up and work on getting a new recliner.. The one

I saw was a CatNapper, inch away. Which sure would be

nice. Having the extra room would really be great..

Achey stumps today but guess why? Yup, we got rain headed

at us.. I woke up at 3 am this morning cuz they woke me.

Well I think Dutch had a part in it too.. He was at the foot

of the bed and he just walks right up my stumps to my

stomach to my chest then just drops his body down and

lays there and gives me sandpaper kisses... I love the kisses

I just wish they were NOT at that time of morning.. :-)

My stumps feel bigger today, not really swollen but under

pressure I guess would be the way to describe it.. Says

rain for 2 or 3 days.

This new friend Tim said its possible to put videos on here.

I just may try that, boy I would just scare everyone then!

But I am going to see what and how to do it.. Tim has a

blog with a video that's how I discovered it.. I'm almost

afraid to mess with too much on this as I would be most

upset if I wiped out my blog or something after all this

time :-) But not being good at this and knowing me I could

possibly DO just that.. But I'm gonna see about it tho..

Time to post and go and get some of those green grapes

Penny got for me today.. I havent had grapes in a long

time and they sounded so good.. Be a nice change too,

plus they are good for you.. Kitchen is calling so its

that time to write 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...
