~I Cant Win!~


I got my gas bill yesterday, I just LOVE when
they mail these bills so they arrive on Fridays..
Sure can ruin a week end that you hoped would
be worry free.. Well.. my gas bill has DOUBLED!
Aint that just great? $142 and some change.. I
saw that and just about lost it.. Its TWICE what
it was last year. The gas rates were sposta go
down, I sure don't see where they have. Ive
not moved the gage on my thermostat. I wrote
and told Joe, I got a reply.. he asked if I wanted
to trade mine for his.. His is $311.. I wont trade,
but he also has a big 2 story house. I have 3
rooms.. well 4 if you count the bathroom .. or
the laundry room.. I guess as big as my closet is
it could be considered a room too!... But getting
this bill sure ruined my worry free week end...
Cant win..

I was in my closet yesterday and it is big.. I have
2 walls that are hanging clothes on the left, double
hanging.. then straight ahead as you go in.. one
long rod for hanging longer clothes.. On the right
are shelves that go up to the ceiling.. I have a nice
soft blanket up there cuz that's where LB sleeps..
Over on the left above the 2 hanging racks is a
shelf too that has a spot for Dutch.. He goes up
there once in a while when hes not pestering me..


Anyhoway.. I was in the closet, facing straight
ahead, looking at my sweaters, I hadnt shut my
chair off as I was just getting a sweater, only
takes a second.. Well.. LB is up on that top shelf
and as I rolled in he saw me, usually when I go
in there its to wake him to make him move a little
hes so lazy he only WALKS around here, very
seldom runs.. he needs more exercise.. He moved
and his snaggy nails got caught on that blanket..
It fell along with LB.. :-(

LB and the blanket BOTH landed on ME!!. The cat
jumped down and ran.. The blanket now, was all
over me.. Its a full size one, during the fall it
opened up, not completely but enuff to cover
me and this chair.. Well, look back, I said I hadnt
shut my chair off.. :-) Another LESSON for this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. well NO.. a gentle reminder
to "SHUT OFF THE CHAIR!"... :-)

Every time I tried to move the blanket it hit the
joy stick.. the chair moved and got UNDER my
wheels... I was STUCK!!! I bet it took me an hour
to get that blanket from under my wheels and
chair before I could move out of that closet.. I
swear the crap I do !!! This chair life is such fun!
LB just sat and watched, as soon as I DID get out
of that closet he went back up to his perch.. His
blanket wasn't up there though.. I cant get it back
up there, so hes not gonna be too comfy up there
till Penny gets here Monday to put it back.. :-)

Ive not decided what is on the menu today.. That
fish Penny made yesterday was so good.. She and
I sure enjoyed it, she did a great job of cooking..
I will find something, I always do, that's part of
the problem ! Well no its NOT a problem really,
I am most grateful that I can go out there and
find something that I want to eat.. so many cant..
so.. to that this GORGEOUS WEEBLE says,
"Thank you Lord" and to Y'all.. "I shall Return!"

Always, Lois ***

God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Hey Gorgeous -
    lol - I didn't realize you were a closet dweller - lolol........
    Well - glad you got unstuck anyway. Lessons learned...
    Cold here - big snow storm is supposed to go just south of us - might get a dusting or so - not much.
    Bare Hugs

    We got 6 inches of snow...
    Moved to more loads of James thing this afternoon...they rest will wait till he ready for it mosty books, tools and thing that are mark A1 on it...and I have no idea what in them, I didn't pack them...
    We still have the storage building to clear out, but not today. I think they will gave him another week to clean it out...hoping the weather get better for the rest of the moving.

    Sound like you had a big work out in your closet, good way to lose some weight.
    God bless you Lois
