~Everything In Place

I got a lot done today and I am most pleased. I paced my
self so I didn't burn out too badly. I did eat just a bit ago
and I notice my get up and go seems to be dwindling. I got
up early about 5 and just have been doing and fixing and
I got a lot put away in the kitchen.. Some of course I have
to wait for Penny cuz I cant reach the 2nd or 3rd shelf..I
keep safe stuff that I can handle on the first shelf. And
anything heavy I keep below.. With all the cabinet space
in my kitchen I will have a place for everything which is
just how I like it.. Organized and in order, use something,
put it back same place, same exact way.. Penny laughs...

The boy didn't make it over last night he got tied up with
his 2nd job. which for the next 2 weeks will be his only job.
Kelli is off for the next 3 weeks starting Friday.. Its going
to be a rough Christmas for them. Kelli has her 2nd job at
the hotel though and she will go full time during her 3 off
weeks so it wont be too bad.. Dawn will still keep her hours
and shes pulling 12 hour days, 6 days a week.. Shes really
tired, and staying busy busy. Have to go to work then come
home and go to work, but Donnie is a helper kinda guy he
will pitch in and cook or what ever is needed...

He asked what I would like for Christmas and I told him if
he would make the bathroom door bigger for me THAT
would be a great gift, it really wouldn't be that hard to do
or even cost a lot as far as materials. Donnie is a very good
carpenter Ive seen what he did to the farmhouse. I don't
think this would take long to do either.. The trouble it
would save me in transferring.. it would make this place
perfect for me... I can get in the laundry room door its made
big... but he made the bathroom one smaller for some
reason.. As big as this place is I am really surprised at how
small the bathroom is compared to the other rooms..

I made some spaghetti sauce and yesterday we made 2
loaves of bread, one banana and one date.. I LOVE these
breads.. Pumpkin is really my fav and that we plan to make
tomorrow.. We got one of the 3 boxes of Christmas stuff
sent yesterday but have to wait till tomorrow to send the
others as there are still some things to go inside yet that
Penny has to get.. Oh and Penny brought two containers of
FUDGE! one peanut butter, one chocolate.. I know- like
Raife says, 'Chair shrinkers' :-) I don't care either I love
it anyway, but I will share with the boy.. MAYBE :-)

I need to take a 5, try to finish up a few things and wait
to hear if Donnie will be coming by tonite. He may wait till
next week when hes off, he knows I'm not at my best by
6 or 7 that I'm ready to hit the bed, but I wait up for him
if I know hes coming.. Never can tell till the phone rings ...

Time to post and finish what I can.. I am feeling so much
more human today and I am very glad.. This MUCHLY
BETTER GORGEOUS WEEBLE says "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....

    Hi, Honey,
    Go easy on that fudge!!! I felt guilty having ONE, SMALL Mars bar after all the Christmas shopping. I have to beware pants shrinkers!!
    How super to be getting on top of things at last.
    While Ines rides out, I have a great time with the puppy. I call it "bonding". She goes to sleep on my lap, and, of course, I have to stay quite still, not to wake her. I get a lot of reading done that way!!
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    NYC is the place for a bread addict. I can get really good russian bread here. There is a Georgian bakery about 3 short blocks from where I work. I can get Turkish bread in the Albanian Grocery. Yummy!!!
