~Dark Day~!

It was still pitch dark at 8 am this morning.. That is just

so weird. I know we change our time in the fall but when

exactly I don't know... I have trouble with that every time

they switch. Last time my computer did it automatically and

I didn't know it and I changed the time back an hour, well

the computer did too so I was 2 hours difference.. I had a

bad day that day I didn't know the time much less what day

it was I was so behind in everything... I think we spring

forward and fall back.... so when we do the time thingie it

will only be dark then at 7... Poor kids, go to school when its

still dark out. These poor guys, well women too, like Donnie

he has to be to work at 6 am.. by the time he finishes his

2nd job he goes home in the dark too..

I had a hard time driving at night, I had, have, stigmatism..

night blindness.. I really could drive if I absolutely had to

at night, but it was such a head ache inducing experience

I tried to not drive at dark. I have to say I only got one

warning ever, that was when I lived in Galena Park outside

Houston.. A stop sign was covered with bushes and I didn't

see it.. I did see the car behind me though.. I slowed of

course, that's just smart when you come to an intersection

anyway, stop sign or not.. I just sort of coasted thru that

sign, but I noticed the car behind did the same thing...

When I got thru the intersection I saw that car following me,

then I see a light flashing on the dash and I pull over and see

this man in regular clothes walk up and tap my window.. I said

loudly through the glass that I was NOT rolling down my window

until I saw some ID.. Plain clothes..how did I know he was a cop?

There had been some incidences on the freeway where women

had been pulled over by cars with dash lights and ugly things

had happened to them.. I wasn't taking any chances even in day

light and in town!.. He flashed his badge and I unwound the

window a few inches and asked him what I did and he told me

I ran that stop sign.. I POLITELY told him I was watching HIM

roll thru that stop sign too.. the rules did not apply to him?

He smiled and said "You can make a citizens arrest if you feel

the need, however there are no witnesses". At that instant, my

friend Terri who was laying on the back seat, sat up and said,

"I saw you roll through it".. I looked at the cop and he said, "I

wont give you a ticket if you don't give me one, but just be

aware of stop signs." I told him the person that should get the

ticket should be the city that isnt taking care of the streets

and making the signs visible.. Terri was sick and I was giving her

a ride to the doctors... I was glad she was there ...

Penny came in today with some distressing news. Apparently in

the paper most of Big Daddy Ken's houses are being foreclosed.

Mine may be one of them.. Which could mean homeless again if

I don't find a place. I called Ken, his machine came on of course.

I did get hold of Chris, and he said he didn't know a whole lot,

other than Ken wanted to talk to me about something.. I am most

distressed about this... He offered to sell me this house before,

I hope that is not the only way I can remain here is to buy it.. I

cant buy a chair let alone this house. Plus my grant wouldn't cover

it...

I spent most of the day online and sending emails to everyone I

know.. Apparently this is happening a lot.. From what Disability

Resources tells me, that in Chicago there are so many homeless

now that the Sheriff refuses to evict people... There is just no

where for them to go.. All these houses will be empty after they

forclose on them...The people with money cant buy all these in

all these states that going up for forclosure... Its a very serious

threat... Now it may be affecting me.. If I could find someone to

buy it and rent to me that would work.. but I don't know anyone

with that kind of money.. If I have to get out and have no where

to go again, I could end up back at KeyStone.. now, THAT would

NOT be good. This sure stresses me out..

This weather of rain and wind and dark and cold just about is me

today with all this going on.. It worrys me terribly, I always every

month worried my grant would run out and have been assured

every time Rebecca is here, but if this house is foreclosed... I

will be homeless again... That cannot happen...


I was up today at 3:42 am.. I fell sleep early by 8 I bet I was

snorin... I need to try to stay up later but If I can get comfy

I have NO choice but to sleep while I can.. I had to get up once

last nite as I must have laid wrong and my hip was throbbing..I

did manage to fall back to sleep though or I would have gotten

up at midnight.. I'm tired and very stressed, I'm posting this

early and going to 'take a 5'..so that means time for my daily

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 honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
