~Great Start Today~

Today started out really good.. I got up, got my coffee

and headed back to my desk to read my mail, looked at

my monitor, my glasses fell off and the stem had broken!

So, without my glasses I cant read doodly squat ! So I

spent the next half hour looking for a spare pair that I

KNEW I had, but.. WHERE?? I found them and got my

little repair kit, and decided it probly would be better

to work on them out in the kitchen... When I looked at

my glasses I realized that I was going to have to replace

the stem, the part that goes over your ear, to keep them

on.. NOW, I am blind in one eye.. so you KNOW this is

gonna be great fun.. I was thrilled at the thought of giving

myself a raging headache from doing this, but I had to if

I wanted to read anything.

I sat out at the kitchen table, got the little screwdriver

and proceeded to take that TINY TINY little screw out

and you KNOW what happened then yes? Well of course!

I DROPPED IT !! :-( I bet I spent the NEXT half hour

looking for that stinkin little screw.. and you KNOW it was

the ONLY one I had ! I need a new repair kit, is what I

need.. My spare glasses are not powerful for me to read

so I cant really use them the strain gives me a massive

headache.. I should just get a better pair.. not just the

dollar mags from the drug store, but they work.. I tried

bi-focals, and had prescription glasses, the bi's drove

me nuts my head kept going up and down like I was one

of those bobber dolls you see in a back car window.. I

hated them.. These Ben Franklin mags work great and

that's what I have used for quite a few years now.. I

have noticed that the strength is going up on them tho,

but then it depends on the glasses.. Some are better

than others...Well anyway, Dutch helped and we got the

stem changed and all put back together, but I AM going

to get another spare pair AND a few new screws too!

Took forever finding that little thing.. :-)

Rebecca came today and brought me some new pillows for my

bed.. Mine were so old and just not good at all. These new ones

will be so nice to use.. I usually put 2 or 3 under my head and

I put another one along each side of me and then I put another

one under my stumps.. I make like a nest of pillows :-) but its

the only way I can lay comfy.. When I had my heart bypass,

9 years ago, in May, afterwards they would put pillows

up along side and under my arms.. then my arms were level

with my chest and not down by my sides. It made me a lot

more comfy, and took the pressure off the ribs where they

were split.. I still do that.. and Ive told a few about doing that.

Bill, Donnies dad, had a heart bypass and they didn't tell him

that and after I told him he tried it and was pleasantly very

surprised at how much stress it took off his chest and how

much more comfy he was when he slept.. After a heart by

pass you can only lay on your back, not on your sides at all..

I am still amazed to see those clamps they used on me.. I

saw my chest xrays and those sardine key looking things

I was shocked.. but there are 4 in my chest.. I still have

the Xray somewhere.. Anyway I am most grateful to have

new pillows.. Now, I get the satin comforter I want and I

will sleep like a baby :-)

Penny called in sick. Well no, she didn't, her sister Kathy

phoned me with a message from her. Apparently she cant

make long distance calls from that house. Because of the

residents. So many are not reliable and probly would end

up calling Siberia or something... But Kathy said she is very

sick with the flu again.. I dunno, but this makes ME worry,

She was just here Monday, I wonder was she spreading

that crap and will I get it.. That's ALL I would need again.

Once was enough.. I hope she gets better soon.. Its really

hard when she misses, but well.. that's the joys of being

dependent on others to do things I cant. being so short

sucks :-)

So that's the saga of todays living in GORGEOUS WEEBLE

Land.. Its a never ending drama don't ya just love it? I do..

SOMETIMES... Time for lunch and to wait for the lunch

girl.. I need to find out her name, she looks just like my

Kelli and is just as sweet.. She will go out and check my

mail for me, Ive gotten some great birthday cards already

and I eagerly wait for the mail every day.. I love mail whether

its email or snail mail ... hint hint hint... :-) Time to post and

of course put my "G'day G'day from this SHORT GORGEOUS
WEEBLE :-)

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...
