~January~

Mr. BlueJay..

The month of January it seems, at least the past

9 years, has been significant and makes me almost

hold my breath until this month is over. January,

I am not real sure of the date, I think about the

15th. I had my first amputation, right below knee,

in 2001. January 2002, is when I escaped the

hell home and moved into the apartment, with the

raging infection in my left stump. In January 2003,

the infection finally healed...I'm not sure what year

my sister, Mary Jane, died on my birthday. Last

year, I carried a lot of drama over from the year

before, just having moved into this place. And of

course the biggie, I am another year older this

month... My dad, gramma 2 aunts and 3 cousins

were all born in January.. My Gramma's is .. was..

the 13th.. My dads.. the 28th... January is a good

month really.. :-) a whole new year of things to

do and get done stuff you carried over from last

year.. which I plan to do.. :-)
I know Ive gotten older these 9 years since all

this amputee stuff started.. I wish I hadnt gained

all the weight I have, when I think of how thin

and skinny I was.. I was even MORE gorgeouser..

The road from then to now, its NOT been easy,

maybe that's why I'm in this chair.. :-) to make

it easier to take this road I'm on.. Rolling might

be the better way to go... If I have to be in this

disabled world.. I can think of a lot worse...so..

this MAY be the easy road.. just a lot of ups

and downs... ridin' is easier than walkin sometimes.
I'm just gonna roll thru this month the best I

can, like I do all the others.. but I will get some

things straightened out.. Like the rent issues

and hopefully I will get help with this medicare

crap.. I know I will on that .. its just a matter of

when... :-) Just remember, my birthday is the

20th.. :-) I am hoping to get TONS of emails,

and cards and phone calls.. :-) ANYHOWAY.....

Subject change :-)
female cardinal

Even with the steady snow the birds are coming

to eat.. I'm kinda glad that post is where it is,

kinda under the tree and moving the birdbath,

its hardly getting any snow in it at all.. All this

snow, the poor little birds have a hard time getting

food.. They know where the bird feeders are...
new kittie... birds came right back...:-)

The blue jay was here, and so was the wood pecker

but I wasn't fast enough cuz I was drinking a cuppa

coffee, as I looked up, there he was, but flew right

off... But the Cardinals were here. The male was in

the bird bath and I spotted the female up on the

post... They love those sun flower seeds... I sure

enjoy these birds and animals...

Speaking of animals, my boy Dutch is sitting right

here in front of me, looking right in my face, then

he walks between me and my keyboard, back and

forth a few times.... KNOWING I will yell at him

to "GET OFF MY DESK!!!"... He is like my online

timer... :-) So, I better post this before this cat

drives me nutz, BUT .. this GORGEOUS WEEBLE

will 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...
