~Sicky Report~

This post is very early as I don't feel too good
today.. I got up at 7, wide awake, as soon as I
sat up my stomach turned over and I was VERY
nauseated and I made it into my chair and the
bathroom just in time.. I think its that flu crap.
Pennys boyfriend just got over it.. Its 9:00 am
now as I write this.. and as soon as I'm done I'm
going back to bed... Since this day hasnt even
gotten started there is no real report for today
other than a sicky one :-) But.....


I did watch the news yesterday and its scarey
to me all that's going on.. My parents adopted
another girl.. Gail..well Gayle.. I don't call her
sister very often.. as that tie was broken back
in '90 when my mother died.. Its a long drawn
out story that I don't talk about or mention..
I very seldom ever mention Gayle .. The
only reason I am today is because she lives in
Hawaii.. on Oahu.. Yesterday after that awful
Chile earthquake a tsunami was headed right
at the islands.. I watched till the all clear was
sounded.. All these happenings with the earth
sure scare me.. I'm glad Hawaii was spared..
could have been awful.

With that said, I'm closing this post and
headed back to bed.. I'm still the GORGEOUS
WEEBLE.. just a tad under the weather :-)
BUT!!! ... I shall return ! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend".

~2 Of My Favorite People~ :-)

Now....
Kelli sent the nicest photo of her and her dad
to me yesterday.. I was so pleased to get it..its
such a nice one isnt it? Two of my very most
dearly loved people ... My adopted son, Donnie
and Kelli Beth, his daughter and my Dolly :-) as
I call her.. oh and Honeygirl too... :-) I didnt
really adopt Donnie, but he came to work for
me and my ex when he was just 19 I think.. now
hes gonna be.. hmmm.. 45? Hes the same age as
my oldest son, Richard, and he was born in 65..
I've known Donnie a long time.. hes one that has
stuck by me no matter what, I know I can depend
on him.. and Kelli too for that matter.. Shes a
very special girl.. Very smart and we are so proud
of her.. :-) But...When I saw this photo I went and
looked at the other one that is one of my favorites
too.. How the years have changed them.. But they
are still 2 great people.. And I'm glad they are in
my life ... that's for sure.. :-)
Then....
This was taken when Kelli was about 5, at Donnies
wedding to Shirley.. Isnt she a dolly? Her 2 front
teeth were knocked out when Kelli was just learning
to walk.. she tripped and hit my coffee table.. I will
NEVER forget that. But what a smile ... Now all this
Gran needs is one of the 3 of them.. With Alex in
it .. I'm sure she has one, but she sends photos to
her other grammas too.. :-) As long as she DOES
remember at some time, and I get them..
Then....
After I fed the boys this morning I put the left
overs outside for the kitties.. Hoping the gray one
would come by.. I went and got a coffee to sit
and watch for him or her.. :-) By the time I got
back to look out there, he was already there
eating! He must have heard the door.. He cleaned
the bowl out.. Poor guy.. I feel so badly for him..
I opened the door very slow and as quiet as I
could.. but he still ran off.. Hopefully in time he
may come to me.. The food I give to them I used
to just throw away, just left overs of my cats..so
its not giving them extra.. But if I needed to get
extra food to help these guys, I'm sure I could
call Becky and she would help.. Shes with ARF..
good cause...

Now...
Yesterday the winds were awful.. and we got more
snow.. As soon as I posted I ate a little lunch.. Penny
made a pasty for me.. I crawled up on my bed and
took a nap... I woke up about 4,, watched TV and
fell back to sleep about 6... I woke up at 9 or so,
watched some of the Olympics and by 10:30 I had
shut the TV off.. I woke at 4am.. looked out to see
ifn we got snow, we had.. and went back to bed till
8:45 this morning.!. I feel pretty good.!. I took an
aspirin yesterday, that seemed to help as well...
I honestly don't know if this IS indigestion.. it acts
and feels the same as a mild heart attack to be
honest.. and the way I am so tired afterwards I am
not sure what it is.. The pain still comes and goes
though . I only drank one coffee this morning.. and
Ive only had that feeling once...so.. I don't know.. but
I HAD to promise Penny and Rebecca I wouldn't take
any chances and I wont.. I'm not stupid.. :-) I don't
like this either but.. I don't want to be one of those
that cry 'wolf' either.. :-) I will know if it goes to
more.. I'm gonna just not do anything this week end..
just relax and watch movies or TV.. :-) Oh, and watch
it snow some more :-) it aint over yet!! Anyhoway.....

I'm gonna post this and this GORGEOUS WEEBLE
is gonna go look for some lunch.. I still have half of
my pasty left.. Penny does SO good on them!! :-) I
might just have that.. then its off to watch TV..
BUT!!! Remember.. I shall return!!! :-)

~Indigestion?~

I don't feel the greatest today.. I had a kinda
bad time about 3 am .. Its kinda hard to describe.
But my neck hurt, just the front half.. then it went
down to my chest, dead center and for about a
half hour I was miserable.. and I hurt and to be
honest made me worried. Ive had these before,
Ive even gone to hospital for it and they said its
just indigestion.. I ate some sausage yesterday,
well about 4 or 5.. that came in the COA lunch...
Had cabbage with it.. I didn't eat the cabbage..
But I thought maybe this is what the pain and
discomfort was.. indigestion...

Ive heard on TV, where they say many women are
misdiagnosed in emergency rooms, that mild heart
attacks are said to be just indigestion.. The Dr
gave me some green stuff to drink... like milk of
magnesia.. and it went away...I went home...I had
eaten peanuts.. Ive not eaten them since so that
may really have been the problem.. I didn't have
my heart attack till the next year... I don't know..

I do know that I am really really tired today tho..
Rebecca was here and she even noticed that I
wasn't up to par.. which is very true.. I plan to
spend the afternoon on my bed after Penny
leaves.. I don't know what this is for sure.. If
it does act up again and not stop I'm not dumb..
I will call 911 if I have to.. I just worry about
my boys.. and whos gonna take care of them if
I am not here ... Last time when I had my heart
surgery I was in hospital for over 3 weeks.. I
don't want to be away like that again, they would
be so upset... and they are my main concern..


If you arent a pet or animal lover you wouldn't
understand.. but these 2 cats come first.. I am
all they have, and all the joy and laughs and the
companionship they have given me.. well there is
nothing I could do that is too much.. They depend
on me..

I put food out this morning for the outside kitties.
I saw the gray tiger coming up the drive and
hurried to get some food out.. by the time I did
he was gone.. Later the black and white one came
and he ate.. Hes not really skinny but hes not in
great condition.. He has 3 burrs on his back.. He
cant reach them himself.. they are at the back of
his neck.. which tells me hes not been seen by a
person .. or they would have taken them off.. I
hope the gray kittie comes by...

Anyhoway.. nuther one of my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
words :-) I'm posting this.. don't worry I am fine..
just gonna take a 5 or a 6 and hope I have a good
week end.. Hope you do too.. Remember I shall
return!! Really :-)

~Awaywhere?~

I heard the garbage truck and decided to take a
photo out of the side window..
I woke up with good intentions today, that
I was gonna get something done.. DO some
thing constructive.. Well.. as of right now...
I havent done anything.. :-) So I guess my
good intentions just said "Phooey".. :-) I
dunno.. maybe it is spring fever.. I was at
my usual spot watching it SNOW, if it keeps
up Carl with have to come over again and
blow my driveway... but that's what made me
think maybe this is just spring fever, even
though I really don't want to go out awaywhere.
new word.. :-)

Out anywhere, as in AWAY from here.. Id like
to go outside... Maybe that's it.. I liked going
outside even in the winter before... Of course,
being in this chair has changed everything.. not
just for me but my friends, and family too...
My sister and I usta go garage saleing.. we had
a great time.. we went all over.. and found some
great bargains.. Then came the REALLY good
part... having lunch... We always went to some
place really good.. We liked the buffet place
out at the mall..good variety to pick from...

For us to do that now, well not in the winter, but
summer, Shirley would have to load and unload
my chair.. its not real heavy, just awkward.. Some
times when I went with Raelynn.. she would cram
my chair into the trunk anyway she could get it
in there, whether it stuck out or not.. :-) We got
caught in a rain storm one day, on the way back
to Keystone.. my chair was SOAKED.. She got it
out and pushed it up to the door and she didn't
open it the way she usually did.. by just sitting in
it.. she didn't realize to just push the sides of
the seat down and that's the easy way...well...

NOW its all WET.. I looked at her, asked "Arent
you gonna open it?" and smiled.. Raelynn smiled
back and said.. "Ill run inside and get a towel"...
and she did.. She didn't want a wet butt either !!
:-) Anyone that takes me now would have to go thru
the same thing, well unless they had a van with a
ramp...and only COA has one of those.. If I had my
own I probly would go more, whether I drove it or
not.. Anyone else could.. and I just ride along.. :-)
I'd prefer being the passenger anyways.. I'm a
good navigator, give me a map, I can get anywhere.

I phoned the boy last night, hes doing ok.. and back
at work this week.. He still sounds stuffy, like he
has a bad cold though.. he says it is painful and sure
will be glad when hes back to himself.. I guess he
has to wear a face mask at work until its all healed,
which I think is a very good idea.. Becky is still there
so I know shes taking good care of him.. I don't think
she has to go back to Wisconsin till next week for
therapy... shoulder injury.. But hes ok.. and Mary says
she is fine as well.. and Stanley is doing good too.. SO..
I guess all is well every where :-) Oh and our little man,
ALex can say gracias and thank you.. momma and dadda..
hes learning both Spanish and English.. :-) Smart boy,
like his mom... and great gramma :-)

Well this GORGEOUS GREAT GRAMMA WEEBLE is
in need of some lunch ! I have NO idea what though..
I will wait and see what COA brings.. With the snowing
she probly wont be here till at least 1:30 or so.. I can
wait till then. Eating lunch is accomplishing something!
So, tada! :-) ANYHOWAY.. remember ! I shall return!!

~I Miss Some Shots~

Cardinal on the corn... and the walkerguy..
I had the best time this morning watching
the birds.. The cardinal was just beautiful up
against the white snow.. This camera takes at
least a minute after I turn it on- to turn off the
flash, then zoom in.. I miss lots of pictures
because of that.. Sometimes the birds go so
fast and by the time I get all set to snap.. they
are gone.. :-) I wish there was a way to plug
the camera in so it stays at the ready.. But
after a few minutes if I don't take a picture
this camera will shut off... I miss lots of shots
because of that.. We got a little snow last nite too!
Which we REALLY needed :-) NOT !! :-)
I take all these pictures of the birds and critters
just to put them here.. after that I don't really
have a need for them.. I went through my files
yesterday after I posted.. and well.. I have TOO
many photos .. especially of ME!! The file size said
279 MB ... that's ALOT.. :-) I went through and
deleted ALOT of my pictures... I have NO need
for them... :-)
Blue Jay...
You see the guy in the photo... he walks EVERY
day.. I think he walks all the way to the grocery
store.. So does Carl.. they walk at different times
though.. Ive seen this walker guy every day ever
since I moved in here.. When I DONT see him
I wonder where he is !! Hes not missed too many
days...
I was so glad to see that Joe sent someone to
clear the snow from the mailboxes... Its such a
shame that my neighbors don't take responsibility
for theirs.. I wish Joe would move mine away from
the others.. They don't want their mail.. fine.. but I
want mine.. I don't like the bills.. but I DO get
other goodies in the mail.. Its SO VERY nice to
get goodies :-)

Rebecca phoned, she will be here tomorrow for
her visit.. She asked to come about 4 or so.. when
she comes up here to pick up her little boy.. I
really don't like appointments that time of day
but.. its easier for her, so I make an exception..
Shes very good to me.. So when people are good
to me.. I will bend my rules :-) Well depends what
the rule is :-) By late afternoon I'm tired.. I just
want to sit and relax and watch TV.. That time of
day there isnt a lot on but sometimes I will put
in a movie and watch that..

Anyhoway.. I feel pretty good.. well except for
being cold.. my stumps are cold all the way up to
my hips...and I just don't know why.. I do keep
it kinda cool in here, but.. I have to.. What wakes
me up a lot is when my hands and lower arms get
REALLY cold.. They feel sometimes like they are
just frozen solid.. Ive asked Penny to feel my
hands how cold they are, shes amazed at what
she feels, the coldness.. Other than that.. I do
feel pretty good.. THANK YOU LORD!!! :-)

Post time and lunch time.. I'm kinda hungry.. just
left overs from yesterday.. the penne pasta with
sauce.. Classico of course.. that stuff is so good..
Penny got us all clean and laundered, so we are
good till Friday.. Penny showed me her engagement
ring she got last nite from Mike.. Shes a happy
camper.. Ive not met him.. but from what she says
hes a nice guy.. He better be or he will answer to
me !! Shes a good woman and deserves the best..
They have been a couple for quite a while now..
No wedding date yet though... Smart girl :-) I am
NOT an advocate for marriage.. :-)

Ok, I'm done for today.. Mary, I hope you are ok..
and all went well... Ive not heard from her so I am
hoping she is doing ok.. In the meantime.. just
remember... I SHALL return!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

~I Cant Do It!~

Front...
Problems are just never ending.. Penny came
today and shoveled out front.. The city plow
did the street, usually he goes up close to the
mail box.. this time he was a good 4 foot away.
I cant shovel that, and that's NOT Pennys job.
I get so mad that the guy across the street
his mailbox is in the middle.. mine is the first
one on the left, in the milk can.. The guys next
door here is the one on the right.. THEY don't
do a bloomin thing... even LAST winter.. And
they KNOW I cant keep it clear..
See the big pile still in the street at the end of the walk?

I hated to call Joe, but if its not clear in front
of your mailbox for the mail person..they wont
deliver your mail.. I guess no one else cares if
they get mail or not.. But these other 2 could
do their share!>.. I called Joe, hes got to pay
the plow guy to come over, I dunno how much
he charges.. but I don't understand why the
city plowed so far away when they always
did up close.. This snow is a lot heavier maybe
but with those big trucks.. they use the ones
with the blade underneath.. not the big V
shaped ones like they do on the highways..
at least Ive not seen one like that here, I
have in 3 Rivers.. but that's when they use
2 side by side doing a 3 or 4 lane road.. I
just hope its cleared out by mail time today..
More snow is expected for the next 2 days..
It needs to be kept ahead..so as NOT to
build up.. We have over 6 inches at least..
While I was looking out the front I saw the
2 black labs being let outside.. They had the
best fun.. I watched them for at least half
an hour, their owner had just as much fun as
the dogs.. I think it was the mom .. I couldn't
really tell from the photo.. She would throw
snow balls and the dogs would jump and run,
trying to get to it first.. :-)
I know Raife says how is Lab, Holly loves the
snow and chasing snow balls.. I bet she looks
just like those 2 down the street.. Winter can
be fun for them.. I saw the grey kittie.. That
poor cat haunts me.. That pitiful look.. Even
Penny .. she can still see his face.. IF that cat
comes back and will come in.. I will keep him
till Penny can take him home.. We think his
ear is frost bitten.. You can tell by that photo..
He laid in the sun that day licking and cleaning
himself.. well maybe HERSELF.. :-) I know he
enjoyed the warmth.. That was before this
last snow.. I hope he/she is ok..
see the left ear? Poor kittie..
Penny is here today, the boys are happy, they
have treats.. She can tell they are kinda mad
at her though.. LB isnt up on the bench for her
to brush him like he usually is.. Hes snoring up
in my closet on the top shelf.. Dutch is being
nice cuz she brought new bags of food. When
she refills the plastic jugs we keep it in, he
likes to eat it from the jug.. Cuz its fresh,
fresh I think. So hes being kinda nice.. :-)


Spaghetti today.. mostacolli.. or how ever you
spell it.. Penny said she had Pizza Hut Friday
and telling me how good it was.. I told her I
had been thinking about that all week end.. So,
I had my DiGirno one yesterday.. Was SO good..
I think just as good as pizza hut.. I just like
plain sausage and cheese, I don't care for all
that other stuff like mushrooms or olives and
all they CAN put on.. Pepperoni is too greasy..
Mine was good.. :-)


Well, lunch is almost ready, we are all clean
and good to go for a few days.. specially just
in case the snow ahead is too much! Joys of
winter :-) But Penny will be here tomorrow
and its laundry or floor day.. One day a week
she hauls out the beast, do vacuum all the
carpet... with these sheddy cats it has to be
done.. She uses the little carpet sweeper the
other days.. Works good but it still needs the
DEEP vacuuming that the beast does.. I call
it that cuz it rules me.. I cant use it at all..:-)
well maybe I could in this power chair but not
when I was in the manual.. It pushed me :-)


This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is done with this
post for today.. Hope you had a good week end
and that this week is good for you.. Ive not
heard from Mary so I hope she is doing ok..
Time to post and eat.. I SHALL return!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

~Branches Touch the Ground!~ :-)

snow gauge
before
Weather said "Snow Warning".. they were right!
I woke up at 1 and made a potty call and looked
outside.. the snow had already started.. I got up
at 8:15 this morning and you see what I saw.. Its
a very wet snow.. that's why its so heavy on the
pine tree outside.. Ive not seen the branches
actually touch the ground before.. Isnt it pretty?
I think so...:-)
after snowblowin...
Carl came over and snow blowed for me.. I am
most grateful.. Penny called just before 9 and
before she could say anything I said.."you are
NOT calling to tell me you arent coming today
are you?" then I laughed.. Penny kinda hemmed
and was quiet for a second and says "Yeah..I'm
snowed in here ! " I knew she would be..6 grown
men rent from her and SHE has to shovel.. Not
right.. very seldom do they help her with snow
removal.. She carries my snow shovel in her trunk,
so its not like she doesn't have one for the guys
to use :-) Mike, her boyfriend.. he does help her
once in a while if he can.. which I'm glad..Poor
Penny will have to do the front tomorrow and
then again the snow hasnt stopped OR slowed
down.. she may have to shovel to get in here
tomorrow.. Lets HOPE she can get here Then!!
wonder ifn his feets is cold.. :-)
Theys waitin for Penny.. dont look happy do they? :-)

The boys are not real happy as they are out of treats
that she was sposta bring today.. AND cat food.. I
have enough for them for about 4 days for
canned, and dry.. about the same.. Feeding the
gray kittie hasnt really made a difference..
What mine don't eat instead of throwing it
away, when its really still good.. I put it on a
plate for the outsiders :-) I don't think they mind
is a day old.. :-)

When I saw how it was outside I checked my
power gauge on my chair.. I was down to 3..
I sat in the kitchen, had turned the chair off,
when I turned it back down it was on 2.. then
it went to 1. after that comes the red... I NEVER
go into the red.. THAT scares me.. So I went
and sat in the bedroom from 9:30 till I came
out to write this and its 11 now.. I am charged
all the way it shows.. but.. I will recharge some
more when I close down after I post this..

Not a lot going on cuz I don't even expect them
to deliver lunch from the COA.. usually they call,
but maybe they think we should know they wont.
Ive got plenty of food and water so we are good
to go.. If I did run out of cat food I have a few
cans of tuna fish.. even though they don't really
like it.. but.. well if that's all there is for them
to eat I'm sure they would if they get hungry
enough.. I try to keep at least a weeks supply
of food for them.. I bet I have a months supply
for me with what I have in the freezer and
cabinet.. :-) Live up here and you learn to stay
stocked.. :-) and I have 6 jugs of water too...I
cant drink the sink water.. ICK.. :-( smells and
tastes like bleach..

Well I think I will post this for today and find
something to make for lunch.. I dunno what...
but I will find something.. This GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is prepared.. and.. yup! I shall return!!

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

~Spring Fever Already?~ :-)

LB's favorite spot.. :-) top of the refrigerator..

I closed down my computer yesterday about
12:30.. earlier than usual.. but I was tired and
didn't have anything to do online or here for
that matter. let me rephrase, nothing I FELT
like doing... so I went and crawled up on my
bed, watched TV, I changed channels so many
times I'm surprised my clicker still works.. I hate
to watch commercials.. well, some make me laugh
at what some of them can cause.. One pill was
for male 'enhancement'.. nice way of putting it..
but the dangers were.. going deaf or blind...
well.. I thought that was one of the things
that happened if you didn't.. "get enhanced"
would happen !! :-) But I'm off the point...:-)
Ive been thinking that I am just wasting my
days.. and I honestly DONT know how to fix
it,, not with my arms aching so badly and my
thumbs not working half the time.. Have you
ever tried to do anything without your thumb?
That jewel is your grabber !! Its not easy to
hold anything with a weak thumb.. and if you
don't have one.. well you cant hold on ! But....
there really isnt a lot I can do with achey arms
and hands.. Sewing isnt too bad, if I don't have
to do tedious things, like hand sewing.. even to
put elastic thru makes my thumbs ache, holding
onto the pin that's on the elastic to get it thru
the waistband or what ever.. So, I dunno.. but
I need to feel useful.. that Ive accomplished
something!!! I wonder could this be my yearly
Spring Fever?....

I have a friend.. shes a dak as well.. her hubby
takes the very best care of her.. TOO much.. he
hovers.. and does every thing.. which is not good
either.. it makes her feel even worse than I do..
This hubby doesn't even let her go to the potty
alone! I guess, really, I do accomplish some things.
since Penny only comes 3 times a week.. so I do
DO things.. But my friend got really discouraged..
I told her she needs to really tell her hubby.. she
HAS to do some things.. just to know she can..to
keep trying herself...

For me .. I think its being productive maybe is the
word I'm looking for.. Ive worked hard all my
working life.. I worked while I was married to all
3 hubbys.. I worked up to the day I had my heart
attack back in 2000... I produced a paycheck .. :-)
Now.. hmmm.. I have NO producing.. :-) Maybe that's
the best word for me.. When I feel like this I get
very down.. which isnt good.. I never used to get bored
when I was able to do things...I'm so limited now as
to what I can do.. my stamina.. I guess has left me..
I guess its all a game of re adjusting to just what
I CAN do with what I have.. like with my monthly
changing budget.. that's a real downer !!! :-)

I'm told my writing here is encouragement, that
just that has encouraged some.. so I guess that IS
accomplishing something.. I should look more into
just what I can do.. If only to just give hope to
those that need it IS being productive .. just in
different way.. So that does count and it DOES
make me feel better. Sometimes I just wish I did
more.. But if I was satisfied.. maybe I would just
sit back and not try anymore.. so feeling like this
maybe isnt that bad, it keeps me looking for ways
to DO stuff.. I cant give up... I'm on wheels for
Pete's sake.. I'm on a ROLL!! :-) so I cant stop! :-)

Well.. this GORGEOUS ROLLING WEEBLE is
gonna post this for today.. I hope you had a good
quiet week end like I did .. its not quite done yet,
so lets hope mine stays quiet.. things can change
in just the blink of an eye! :-) Post time and
then food.. I have NO idea what.. Yesterday was
just a pb&j day.. Peanut butter & jelly sandwich..
I LOVE those things.. I make toast..lotsa butter,
I know, I know, then PB on one slice. Raspberry
jam on the other.. put together.. and M M M...
good stuff :-) I only had ONE! anyhoway....

Mary, I hope all goes well tomorrow.. I will keep
you in my prayers! :-)

Remember.. I SHALL return! :-)

Always, Lois ****

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

~Early Up~


I usually get up between 8:30 and 9, I wait
sometimes until Penny is here so she can make
coffee :-) I got up this morning, wide awake at
7:15.. I fed the boys, the ones outside too, then
had my 2 cups of coffee.. That's about it for me.
Once in a while I will have a 3rd cup.. depends on
how much I want to go back and forth getting rid
of it :-) I got up too early today ....

So now, and the rest of the day, until tonite I will
just go back and forth from my desk here or I
will go out to the kitchen and watch the birds.. This
is the extent of my day.. I don't get a lot of emails,
so I don't send near as many as I used to.. Usually,
well, the past while, Ive been closing down my PC
by 1 in the afternoon.. Then I go into my bedroom
and sit in there and watch TV, about 8 or 9 I will
get out of my chair, unless I have a sleepy spell,
and feel like I REALLY need a nap.. I will get on
my bed, I don't wanna fall out of my chair.. But
all I do constantly is SIT.. I'm not accomplishing
anything.. Its like I'm just treading water...

I do have ambition.. but to do something, like sew
or cook for that matter, its a major deal.. By the
time I am halfway done making what ever, my hands
give out and my arms.. and then Ive got to stop..
I have to hit the start button again.. to clean up the
half mess I made .. If I had continued.. still doing
what ever, I would have to wait till way later to have
the energy and the strength back in my hands and
arms... I tried cleaning out my material.. sorting it..
I didn't think.. I kept pulling this piece out, then
another, when one shelf was empty I sat for a
minute realizing how badly my arms were aching
from all the movement.. and the lifting up and
down, plus the bending.. I cant win :-) Bad thing
is.. I dunno how to fix it.. so I end up doing less
and less... It took forever to put it all back, and I
really hadnt accomplished anything!

I guess though, I do accomplish ONE thing every
day.. I write this blog.. I promised I would way
back in 2005 when I started this, that I would
write every day, as long as I can get here, Ive
missed some days.. but not many.. So I guess I
DO accomplish ONE thing daily :-)
I phoned the boy last night.. I couldn't stand it, I
had to find out how hes doing.. He sounded so
miserable.. Like he had the worst cold ever.. I felt
so bad for him.. He says he has to go back to the
doctor on Monday.. Becky is taking VERY good care
of him.. which I was glad to hear.. I hate when hes
not feeling good.. and he sounded so miserable.. The
pain he said is awful.. and all they give him is Tylenol
with codene... I cant take that crap.. Makes me sick.
Codene will tear a stomach up...They are so paranoid
about prescribing pain meds anymore its awful.. I
cant take but certain ones.. all those cette ones don't
do a thing for me.. not when I have been in pain.. But
hes on the mend.. "Thank you Lord"...

Gonna be a quiet week end..I have NO plans and I
don't expect any company at all.. I hope there is
something good on TV.. I'm sick of listening to all
this junk about Tiger Woods.. Why cant they leave
the guy alone.. All these ones saying such bad things,
these companies saying now hes a bad influence..I
wonder how many of them are so innocent... These
news people that dig and pry because they think
WE want to know only do it for the money and don't
care whos lives they invade.. Hes allowed a private
life.. They need to leave him alone. These "women"
that are confessing are only doing it for the money
and publicity.. I would think they would be ashamed
to say they deliberately invaded a family... Makes
THEM look bad and Tigers taking all the blame.. Go
figure.. :-) Hes still a great golfer and its sad that
this crap has ruined that..

OK.. this is my 2 cents for today.. Its time to post
and see what is on the menu for today.. I have NO
idea what.. Penny said she was having pizza last nite..
I have a DiGorno one in the freezer.. I might just
fix that.. Been ages since Ive had pizza.. And this
kind IS BETTER than Pizza Hut.. cheaper too!!! :-)
Anyhoway...


This GORGEOUS WEEBLE hopes you accomplish
more than me this week end...But remember.. I
shall return! YOU better TOO!! :-)

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...
