~Made The Trip~

Curtis was here at 9:25, loaded us up and we went to

Coldwater.. Over an hour drive there and over an hour

back as the weather was awful.. It poured rain the

whole trip.. It took all of 10 minutes to line up the net

and cable TV all in one which is what I prefer.. They

can do the phone as well but not until its turned on. So

next month I may do that. They will come to the house

on Saturday between 1 and 5 to connect everything. I

have to be there. I have to give them $79.98 for the

first months bill when they get there. Everything is

all set up and arranged for everything now other than

putting a hold on a truck to be sure its there on sat. I

would hate to have that last minute problem.

I feel a tad better even though I didn't sleep hardly at

all last night. The boys are very restless and stick to me

constantly.. The look on their little faces this morning when

I was putting on my coat was awful.. Made me feel bad that

they are worried.. I can tell they are since things are in

such upheaveal here with boxes and all... We didn't get any

packing done today at all so I have my week end cut out

for me. Lots to do and only 8 days well 7 now since this day

is shot.. I will take a 5 and maybe later do some more.

I know doing all this bending and reaching really tires me

out but it is good exercise for me. I was talking to a friend

about that. Since I don't walk, my stumps don't get any

real exercise and I think that's why they are so squishy

soft to the touch... all the muscle tone is gone.. Sleeping

on this couch has shown me just how much strength I do

have though.. and if I didn't I wouldn't be able to really

maneuver on it.. I can just scoot over on it to sit, but to

lay down I have to turn around and then fix my clothes

and try to get the wrinkles out.. When a person with legs

tries to move or lift up you just put your feet on the

mattress and raise up...I cant do that and its harder to

move, even roll.. I have to sit up first, turn, then lay back

down.. But I do get a lot of exercise, I was told that from

day one, to make sure I did and that I lay flat for at least

an hour a day..every day.. so that's what I try to do..

I'm tired- just riding like that tires me.. Ive had a head

ache all day as well.. Driving in the rain makes me nervous

anyway even though Curtis is a very good driver. We had

to go through my new town so we took a detour to show

Curtis where my new house will be. He thought it was

very nice. I was surprised at the size of Coldwater its

quite big.. lots of stores very nice.

I'm posting this early as I want to take a nap and then get

up later and do some more packing.. Its got to get done..

and only 3 packing days with Penny left next week.. I will

be so very glad when this is done and I am there... Then

I can look forward to the holidays... I have boxes to pack

and send :-) now, I'm sending me for a 5 but I cant till I put

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,
