~BUTTTTTTT~ :-)

a huge crow.. I think !! Big black bird !! :-)

You know what Ive noticed is changing? My
BUTT ! :-) Besides getting wider :-) I notice
it seems much more sensitive to lumps, bumps
or even a seam in one of my skirts! I had one
of those rojo cushions... I had to send it back.
They sell for over 300 dollars.. Ridiculous ..
but some have to have one.. I cant use one like
that.. because for the gel or what ever that's
floating around in there, has to have room to
expand to when you sit on it.. and to get that
extra room put into a cushion you have to make
what is called a pleat or a tuck.. which is just
a big wrinkle to me.. and they hurt to sit on..
But, my butt seems more sensitive than it was!


:-) This is SUCH a wonderful topic hey? Butt,
well its all part of my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
WORLD... I KNOW others that sit 12 to 14
hours a day HAVE to be going thru the same
thing.. well unless theyre a para then they cant
feel anything.. which really is NOT a good thing
either.. A sore back there, and you don't know
it.. a bed sore can kill you.. That's what REALLY
killed Superman you know.. He had one, and it
got infected.. he died.. With all the doctors he
MUST have had, and nurses.. Its amazing that
a bedsore could get to that extreme.. The only
thing I can figure is that his immune system was
so bad.. he just couldn't fight it.. When you cant
fight.. you lose... Such a tragedy..

I want, well re-phrase, I would LIKE to have one
of those toppers for my mattress.. I have a new
one, just got it last year.. but Ive noticed that I
can feel some of the springs through it..I have...
hmmm 3 comforters on it.. that I lay on.. I sleep
different than most.. I don't get UNDER the
covers.. I lay on top my comforters and I have
a loose blanket that I use to cover with.. I have
my pillows on 3 sides of me.. Sometimes.. boy, I
just tell everything.. :-) I don't wear jammies or
a gown.. I fall asleep in what ever I wore that
day Uusually and when I get up in the morning
I put on all new fresh clothes.. What difference
does it make? I can just change the LABEL of
my day clothes.. to NIGHT clothes... plus.. aint
no one here but my kittie boys.. and they don't
care what I sleep in as long as they can lay on
me :-) Plus changing clothes aint easy either!
You, well ME, Ive had to learn to take short
cuts.. ones suited for me.. For legged people
to change clothes just meant dropping them
to the floor, stepping out and pulling the others
on... Its NOT that easy for me.. Its one of the
hardest next to bath day.. Its easier for me
to change clothes in the bathroom than on the
bed anyways.. the bed is too soft.. the seat on
the potty is more solid AND cold!! Sure can
wake me up at night crawling onto that thing!
There are no heat vents to keep it warm .. I
wonder if I could get a heated one? :-) I
had one that was foam.. THAT was nice.. but
this riser I have on there now, is a hard, white
plastic. slippery when wet too! I KNOW! :-)

Penny had just cleaned in there.. I just tell
everything.. Well I had to go.. so she stopped
cleaning and let me get in there.. its not big
enough for 2 people in my bathroom .. Well,
I pulled up to the potty .. facing it of course..
grabbed my hand things on my chair.. my
usual way.. I moved across got on the edge
and it was so slippery I went forward so fast
I almost ended up flat on my back with my
stumps up against the back of the toilet !!!
THAT was NOT good.. I managed to grab
hold of the arm rests that were around the
potty and pick my self up to sitting.. I called
for Penny and told her what happened.. We
did laugh.. but.. from then on shes made sure
its dry if I have a urgent need while shes
cleaning .. :-) See? Joys of chair life.. Well
you WANT to know !! :-)


I wonder should I put AC up top? :-) Well I'm
kinda talking butts and stuff so.. :-) Well its
just my life in my little corner of the world..
Thank goodness I have lots of other stuff to
write about :-) This is my 1579th post.. Almost
6 years ive been writing this :-) Glad you have
stuck with me.. :-) Time to post this and for
this GORGEOUS WEEBLE , glad THAT hasnt
changed!!!! :-) to find some food.. Buttttt... :-)
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...

    Hello Lois
    You have a very nice bathroom...and you still have lots of snow too....they say we might be getting snow Sunday night, not going to like that for my early trip on Monday.
    Liquid for two day with no sugar...I can do that I think.
    The lady bathroom seat are so very cold at my church in the winter, I try never to use them...
    I've been cooking for my hubby tonight, so I won't have to cook for a while... it hard on him to get around with his knee hurting him so much...
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary
