Amputee life before and after...

~Tents Going Up~

I woke up this morning, laid there, opened my eyes and
Dutch was sitting way up on top my wardrobe, on top of
a box. My ceiling fan was on, slow speed, thank goodness.
He was in a play mode, that's why he jumps up there. The
only time he can jump up there is when my wheelchair is
by the bed. He gets on the handlebars and jumps quite a
distance up there. I watched as this goofy cat made slaps
at the ceiling fan! I yelled at him to get down, he tipped
his head to the side in kind of a playful "haha Mom" and
continued to take swings at that fan!.. He finally connected
and his foot, ok paw, hit the fan, he pulled it back really
fast and had this really puzzled look on his face as if to
say "What the heck is that?", looked at his paw and then
to me and meowed as if expecting me to slap that fan
that got him! I laughed at him, slid into my chair and I
left the boy up there! I turned the fan off as I rolled
out the door.. I knew he could get down, he just jumps
farther onto my bed, and that's a nice soft landing.
By 9, Penny and Rebecca both had called this morning.
Each changing the time they would be here. Rebecca,
I told her to just give me a call when she was on the
way and Penny came after she took her Police report
to the police station. Apparently someone broke into
the foster care house and into the locked medicine
cabinet and stole pills. She had to list all that was
there and then get them all refilled. This is the 3rd
time that house has been broken into and things taken.
Last time it was the 32 inch TV and DVD, computer
type stuff. This house is in a bad part of town and I
know my self would only take 1 time and I would be
moving. If your robbed once, the thieves KNOW you
are going to replace it.. So I would say odds are they
will be back !... At least that's what I heard on TV :-)
I also awoke to rain. Not really cold though. I like the
rain and I hope it rains all day! My lawn is looking so
dry I need a good garden hose and sprinkler, I had
one at the little house but was a cheap hose I think
and its not any good Penny said. But I do have the hose
holder out there to keep it neat and will make it easier
every so often to put out a hose and sprinkler. I know
will make the grass grow more , its really dry out there.
I want the yard to look nice for Magic Week. Its only
a couple weeks away and I see lots of the neighbors
getting their yards fixed. 2 already have tents up. I
think its going to be great fun..

Lisa and Steve have offered for me to go along with
them to the magic shows over here at the high school.
The night ones that is.. I'm kinda leary about that as
I don't know how familiar they are with chairs and I
don't know the set up over at the school, if they are
prepared for wheelchair people to attend. They may
not even think about that. I should call and find out.
That way I will know. Rebecca and Penny both want
to come up for all the doings. I'm really looking
forward to it. I havent decided whether to have a
yard sale or not YET..

However ! ....I DID get a lawn chair, just in case
I DO have company that would like to sit out front
with me, will have a nice chair to sit in :-) I'm looking
for one of those chair umbrellas that clamp onto the
handle bars or back of a lawn chair. I cant take the
sun directly on me, I over heat :-) I take that back,
PENNY is looking for a chair umbrella.. :-)

Time for me to Post this and get back to sewing. I
want to get these things made for the kids then maybe
start on some things for Magic Week so that if I do
decide to put a table out I will have something to put
on it :-) This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is warning ya again...
"I'll be back !" :-) I know your glad :-) I just make your
day with my dramas :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv 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...
