~Stick Out Thingies~ :-)

I have these 2 protrusions I guess you would call them,

since they stick out about 2 inches in front of this power

chair. Well.. these are causing me serious problems as I

forget and mis judge and well... I put a hole in the wall...

I know, now I'm in trouble.. Donnie will fix it for me I'm

sure.. These 2 stick out things are what the foot things

attach to.. and if they didn't stick out, well I could get

even closer! I noticed a slight scratch on the dishwasher

as well.. I HOPE I didn't do that but.. well, this chair is

very powerful... I make sure every time I stop and stay

still for a while that its shut off.. when I go to transfer

to the other chair I make sure its off.. Ive gotten into

trouble a few times when I havent..... I think they can

be cut off...

In the apartment I was up next to the sink.. and it was

one with nothing under so I could get close to it.. Well,

I didn't shut this chair off, well- not this chair but my

other one and I did something and hit the joy stick and

went forward and got stuck under the sink! The joy stick

had gotten broken off and the end was wedged tight under

the sink.. I had to sit and push and rock back and forth,

it took me forever to get loose, but I had to... Maybe if

I yelled someone out in the hall could hear, but the door

was locked too.. I didn't have my phone with me either.

Things can happen so fast and I try to foresee any sort

of bad move, but sometimes things happen...

I got up during the night the other night and the power

light on the joystick lights up with this VERY BRIGHT

light.. drives the boy nuts... but when I just wake up and

then turn this bright light on , well I'm blinded for a

minute.. I turned the chair, I thought enough but the

light blinded me and I missed the door and hit the wall.

Well.. PUNCH! and those stick out thingies knocked a

hole about the size of a quarter... I was SO MAD! But,

that again is the joys and naturally hazards of being in

a chair.. I only keep the speed on 2.. on 3? my hair

blows back when I hit that hall way.. DONT ask how I

know either :-) 3 is too fast.. 4 or 5, I bet I could race

a car ! :-) I wonder do they have power wheel chair

races? they have every other kind.. I bet that would be

fun.. Nikki would race down the hall at the apartment

in my chair and have big fun... :-)
I had a great surprise today... My phone rang about 1030

and was guess who? My sister, Shirley, wanting to know

what dress I had on ... :-) NO, that's what I THOUGHT she

said.. She did say whats my address now...She and Stanley

came to bring my Christmas presents :-) As bad a day as it

is, I was surprised, but Stan, well he can drive in anything.

Penny was going to come today and I called and told her to

stay home and get better and be safe.. There is no reason

that she HAS to go out on a day like today.. we're sposta

get 4 or more inches of snow and I believe it too... Hasnt

stopped since I got up...

My sis brought some great goodies all useful stuff like TP

and paper towels and laundry soap, candy.. stuff she knows

costs me extra.. and this is a great help.. She brought me 2

as in TWO.. BOLTS of lace material!!! one in a beautiful

blue and the other is pink.. LACE.. I will make my kitchen

curtains.. When Stan got here I asked him to check out

the draft in the kitchen.. well he did.. the window above

the sink was open at the top! I bet they did that to air

this place out.. Stan checked every window for me and

every one of them was open... He fixed them all and I can

tell a big difference in here already.. The furnace isnt

clicking on near as much.. That's a relief.. We had a nice

visit was so good to see them..They both look good.. And

they enjoyed playing with Dutch and his lazer light... They

stayed quite a while but the snow was and is still steady

coming down.. They both were very impressed with my

new house and commented on how nice it was.. I'm glad

my sis got to see it then she will know what to look for

when she goes shopping :-) She always picks up stuff

for one of us.. Me, or one of her kids, shes good that

way and I am most grateful .. Shes a good sister....

Well Ive had a nice break and I need to get some more

done before this day is done.. I am so very thankful for

everything the Lord has blessed me.. Such great family,

and some of the best friends a woman could have.. Life

really is good.. :-) Time to post, have lunch and get back

to work.. First this GRATEFUL GORGEOUS WEEBLE

has to say "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...
