~Things Change~

Mr. Blue Jay... :-)
I sometimes think about whats ahead whilst
I sit and watch all the critters outside. Its
a nice time to do that.. I think we all do that.
Not sit and watch critters.. but think about
what is ahead...and what might change...
For me my biggest concern is 'will I be able
to keep taking care of myself..living alone.'
There are so many variables for some
one like me.. Even as far as just gaining some
weight.. Even that can drastically change things.
If I do like I've seen MANY wheelchair people
that have steady gained weight the longer they're
in a chair.. When I lived at the apartment.. a lady
moved in.. I cant remember her name. :-) But
she moved into my friends place that died.. She
was quite thin when she moved in.. I hadnt seen
her in ages... I bet almost a year.. and she came
to my door.. I almost didn't recognize her... she
had gained so much weight...She was in a wheel
chair due to a back injury and couldn't walk...
Reaching for that corn...his belly looks so soft...:-)
I really watch what I eat, even though I KNOW
I have gained quite a bit from when I first got
out on my own back in 2002.. I look at some pics
I have of me back then, I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE.. but I AM thinner.. Younger looking
too !!! ;-) I think about that.. Raife calls fatty
stuff 'chair shrinkers' .. and that's true ! Penny
and I talked about that yesterday, since she
has gained weight, and I can see she has.. shes
still no bigger than a minute but, well women can
tell :-) She even says how little I really eat..and
I may have quite a few snacky things in my room
but she sees how long they last.. But .. truth be
known.. I really CANT afford to gain too much
weight.. The day I cant transfer- I'm in dodo land.
Butt.... :-)
I gave up waiting for my knight.. His horse threw
him off or the beast died.. :-) But I aint heard from
him.. I don't think hes gonna find me and carry me,
HA! IF- I don't gain any weight! :-) off into the sunset.
But I think about this. The companionship, the extra
care, should I need it... I know I cant PLAN the things
that are ahead.. and to be honest, I don't really wanna
know.. Id rather be surprised when it hits me :-)

I slept ok last night.. Only woke up 3 times.. and I only
had pains once.. I am finding that by relaxing more and
getting OUT of this chair sooner seems to help.. I only
had a fish sandwich yesterday and for supper some
diced peaches.. So HOPEFULLY.. its indigestion.. Time
will tell.. :-)

Time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to post this, eat,
and do the same as I did yesterday.. Get out of this
chair and watch TV for the rest of the day.. I have
NO plans, other than to answer the phone :-) IF it
rings.. I still get those bloomin' calls for other people.
I hate those and they refuse to stop.. I'm stopping
this post though.. BUT! Remember.. 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...

    Yes gaining weight is not good for anyone, health wise..I know it can cause you lot of extra problems...
    I'm still losing weight right now 193 lb. yep I got a long ways to go...last year I lot 40 lb... just not putting as much food in me is the answer...
    Nice day here, love that Sun shining bright...feel like Spring to me.
    God bless you Lois and keep you safe my friend.

    As for waiting for your knight in shining armour. My daughter (Carla) encountered a talking frog in a park. The frog said, "Kiss me I'm a K in S A entrapped by a wicked witch's spell". Carla did. Poof there he sat on a milk white stalion 19 hands high ... electric blue eyes, golden ringlets cascading down to his shoulders. He caught up Carla and they rode off to his castle. Enroute a big fly buzzed by. The knight flicked out a tongue 2 yds long ... caught the fly and ate it. Moral A: Ks in SA ain' alwas what they appear to be & B: teen age girls have the damdest excuses to be late to dinner.
