~Frostyness~

Frost all over outside this morning, the ground was

sparkly white.. When the sun hit the ground it would

send puffs of steam up in the air...Its warm in the

sun, ask my boys...they almost fight over the sunny

spots when the sun comes thru these kitchen windows

and hits the floor or the table..

Ive got no plans for today and I feel pretty good. That

prescription for that rash cream is helping, and I am

very glad for that..I plan to call R & R tomorrow to see

what I have to do to get my chair fixed..I don't like the

arm being so loose..Penny tried to fix it but couldn't.

Otherwise I don't have much to do today...

Lunch? I dunno... I had shrimp yesterday,, it was

really good.. I used it just in time, it was almost

freezer burnt from being in there too long.. I have

no idea what I will make today...I always find

something... :-)


Time to eat and post this for today..I'm Still a

GORGEOUIS WEEBLE..and I'll be back!

Happy Weekend!

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

~No Plans~

I have no plans for today so I'm not gonna do too

much of anything.. I havent decided what I WAnt for

lunch so that will give me something to do for

awhile.. I have lots of food and could make any

thing I like but I havent really had any kind of

appetite lately... I only eat cuz if I dont my stomach

growls at me constantly... :-) And once in a while

there I do have a craving for something, like beans

or spaghetti..Today, nothing really sounds good..
Winter is on the way.. I turned the heat on finally..

I had to..Penny said it was freezing in here and

it is forecast to be REALLY cold this week end.

So I had her turn the furnace on..Its set at 64 so

hopefully it wont run too much.. I dread the sight

of a high gas bill... Last year was bad enough

but the word is gas will be even higher this

winter so all of our bills will be bigger. I really

dread that..

Joyce worked really hard out there yesterday.

She cleaned up all of her yard and mine and

the gardenlady's yard...Poor Carl is still

walking slow and just doesn't seem to feel

good..He was out supervising Joyce for a

little while ..She did a great job, all those

stinkin pine cones and needles are gone..

I am SO glad.. You can see the piles of leaves

out by the road...

Well I'm gonna post this and see what I can do

to make this a useful day.. I feel pretty good and

of course I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE..and-

I will be back...Happy Weekend...

~Nice Fall Day~

Nice sunny kinda cool fall day...Now everyone is out

cleaning and raking their yards...After that storm things

got blown around not counting the leaves! All of Carls

leaves are over here.. Joyce is out there on the rider

and has the bagger attached.... The city leaf sucking

truck has been out about every day..Theyre staying busy,
if the rest of this town looks like it does here, they are
very busy! :-)

I said I had no plans yesterday and as soon as I posted

Gail, my nurse came ..then shortly after she left there

was an unexpected knock and it was my new caseworker,

Joanna. She is taking over for Lima who has now

retired....Joanna is very nice and I hope does a better

job than Lima...She stayed about an hour...by the time

she left I was tired...

Gail said all is ok and she told the Dr I needed some

special cream for this rash or what ever it is. I know

its sore..My BP was good and my lungs..so I'm doing

good... Yesterday was a ok day...

Penny is here today and got us all clean and ready

for the week end...now its post time and lunch

but..... I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE

and I'll be back ! Happy Halloween!

~Woolbies~

Gloomy, cold, rainy day.... I can sure tell too.. I have

seen smoke coming out of some of the neighbors

chimneys which means their furnace is on..I sure

hate to turn the heat on yet..I dread the gas bill in

the winter just like I do the electric in the summer..

Cant win.. :-) Its kinda cool in here, but I put a sweater

on and I did turn the oven on here in the kitchen, just

to take the chill out..l spend all day in here anyway

then I go to my bedroom to watch tv..If I get cool in

there I just grab a woolbie off my bed...Theyre

polar fleece throws that my sister made for me, I

love them, polar fleece is very warm, but very

light weight..

I have let my nails grow quite long again and I should

leave this like it is without correcting every word...cuz

I hit 2 keys, or the wrong one..This laptop is not easy

to use by any means ...There are a lot of shortcuts in

this keyboard and if you hit the wrong key or combinations

of keys you are in trouble... I like the desk top, but I

do like the moveability of this one...

I have no plans for today so I am not gonna do too much.

I have a bad spot flaring up that I'm gonna havta doctor

or it could lead to an infection...So Ive gotta do that but

other wise I have no plans and no one is due to come

by..

So, I'm gonna post this and do a food search of my

fridge...I'm still and always will be a GORGEOUS|
WEEBLE.. I'll be back!

~Storm~

See Dinky?

We had a bad storm yesterday. I could hardly see out

the door. Poor Dinky was huddled up by the garage, just

before the huge downpour, he must have sensed it, he

made a mad dash to the door with the blue tarp..He

lifted it up and crawled under it. I was so relieved to see

him out of the rain..This cat is driving me crazy with worry.

I may just have to break down and get him neutered and

bring him in..If and when I get the cat house, he may not

like it either..He didn't like the cardboard box...l dunno...

I feel pretty good today even though my stumps are achey.

That's cronic so I overlook a lot of it, I cant even remember

a time when they didn't ache.. My big toe on my left foot,

that isnt there, it gets to hurting SO bad..Drives me nuts.

But today isnt too bad. Penny got us all clean and we are

good to go..

I'm hoping the bad weather is over, that wind blew all of

Carls leaves over here! I'm glad I dont or Penny doesn't

have to rake them up! Pine cones are everywhere! Its

a mess and Joyce had just cleaned it up! She has a

rider and does a great job, now shes gotta do it all

over again...

Time for lunch and of course this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is hungry..so now Its time to post

and remind you I will be back!

~Pine Cones Everywhere~

What a day today.. we are having one hell of a storm..

I halfway expect the power to go out...The wind gusts

are so strong that it sounds like howling when it goes

thru..The leaves swirl around in whirlwinds and all that

hard work Joyce did is all undone.. All the leaves are

just about off the trees... And I bet there are no pine

cones left on that tree, the ground is covered in them..

I should look up something to make out of them...Ive

heard they make good fire starters and I know Donnie

has a wood stove, perhaps I should ask him...

This crap rainy weather is sposta linger here for the

next three days.,. I was telling Gail how my stumps

always let me know when we are due for a weather

change..She agreed that is like what I believe, is that

arthritis has set in and of course spread, and that's

probly why my hips hurt...They hurt so bad sometimes

I could just scream....

I have no plans for today nor is anyone expected....I

worry about these poor kitties when its so bad outside.

Fuzz and Dinky came for breakfast..,I was glad to see

Fuzz he hadnt been by for a couple days.. He loves

hot dogs and he can eat 3 or 4 at a time ! Hes such

a pretty cat..they all are. I wish and hope they all have

some one else to love and care for them besides me.

Time to post and heat up some left over chili.its a good

day for it..I'm feeling pretty good and from what Rebecca

said yesterday I don't look too bad either~!~ She was

totally shocked at how much weight I have lost.. :-) So,

this STILL GORGEOUS WEEBLE says I will be back!

~Flying Time~

Penny came today and we made chili..It smells

just wonderful..she made some rice for on the

side...She got us all clean, we really werent too

messy, just a few dishes is all..Another week,
and it'll be November, time is flying....

Rebecca came by for her visit..shes really nice.

She had on the cutest shoes.. I would have worn

them..very old fashioned looking with rounded

toes and a wedge heel,,, I loved shoes...I still

enjoy looking at them. Some of the old styles

are coming back...But they say..hold on to your

clothes for 20 years and the styles will return.

I prefer the older style of clothes compared to

what Ive seen some of these actress's wear..

Joan Rivers has a show on TV about how some

people dress.. Its pretty funny....

I feel pretty good today and its a rainy on and off

day..Doesn't know what it wants to do out there..

Joys of fall... Its beautiful out there though.. My

tree on the side here is wonderful...


Time for lunch and to post this..I'm still a MOst

GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll be back ! :-)

~Free Weekends~

Nice quiet day, not very cold out. I have no plans

for today at all..Gail was sposta come but will be

here tomorrow instead....I'm kinda glad, I don't like

business appointments on the week ends :-) Theyre

a no worry 2 days, or are sposta be, free weekends!

My boy is sick. he phoned last night and I think he

has the stomach flu.. I hate hes sick, but at least

this will make him take a day off..I worry about

him, all the family does..he burns that candle at

both ends constantly and sometimes even in the

middle..He may come up one day this week to

bring the kittie house..I heard on the weather

that they got snow up north..I need to make some

arrangements for these kitties. They worry me..

The people over across the yard have 5 kids that

I can count..They've been outside playing in all

the leaves... There is one little red headed boy,

hes the smallest and youngest, he tries so hard

to keep up with the others Its fun to watch him..

They all play so well together which is so nice

to see...

I don't know what I will have for my Sunday dinner,

I'm not real hungry so I will just raid the fridge to

see just what I have.. I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I will be back ! :-)

~Pine Cones N'Needles~

My yard as you can see in the picture is covered with pine

cones and needles.. Pine trees need to be out in the woods,

not in a yard, at least MY yard anyway...When people plant

trees because theyre pretty, they don't stop to consider the

upkeep..On that feeder stand are 2 blue jays.. They have

the best time, Ive counted as many as 4 or 5 out there at

a time...
I have no plans for today. I have nothing to do..Gail, I

thought might come by today, but if she doesn't phone

by noon, she can reschedule me for next week.. I only

see 1 person after 1 in the afternoon, and that's Donnie.

Anyone else can be here before noon. I'm not my best

in the afternoon, I'm ready to close down for the day..

I sat and watched that Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

last night and seeing all that good food made me

hungry and I laid there thinking about what I was

going to make today..I think I'll make some linguini

pasta, I have sauce in the freezer and that sounds

good.. I like that show its on the Learning Channel.

I watch that and the history channel alot...Id rather

watch stuff that's not all gorey and full of blood and

murder ....I know I'm sick of hearing all these

politicans cut each other down..its election time

and the TV is full of it...

My opinion I don't think they should have 2 parties.

People vote their party, republican or democrat,
Not the person or who is more qualified....Those

that would help this country are overlooked if they

don't have money or know the right people..Its a

shame..

Time to eat, Gail phoned she will be here tomorrow

about 12..I feel ok except for achey stumps.. Its a

gloomy rainy day...I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I will be back ! Happy Weekend!

every minute that Penny is here to get all I want done.

Shes a good worker...she leaves soon...

I'm ok .. still got a sore backside, but Ill survive, I'm

still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and Ill be back! :-)

~Gotta Try~

I am getting some energy back I think, even if its only

thinking about it...I need and want to fix up my kitchen..

My table is covered with sewing stuff, computer stuff

plus odds and ends of other stuff that just ends up on

it... I want to clear it off so that I can sew if I want to. I

have boxes of ribbon, a basket with patterns.. too

much stuff.. If I, well we, Penny will help...can get this

table cleared off , maybe I can make some things

for our new baby girl... I'm gonna try anyway...

These bluejays outside LOVE that corn out there..
Penny put 4 new ears out there yesterday and they

have almost cleared them all already.. Between all

the critters out there and these 2 in here they are

costing me more in pet food than I spend on my

self almost...Not quite but sometimes it feels like

it :-)

My hinderside is still sore but the hot washcloth

helped yesterday and I'm gonna do the same

thing today.. I have to clear this up or I will have

to show this to Gail..and I sure don't wanna do

that....anyhoway,

Penny made calico beans yesterday and she

made them even better than last time..They are

so good..If you want the recipe let me know..Its

a recipe passed down from my grandmother...

I have lots of old cookbooks from back in the

1920's, its fun to look through them.. I have a

Betty Crocker Cookbook for Kids too. I got

that when I was about 11 and learning to cook.

Time to post and fix lunch..I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I'll be back~!

~No Plans~

No plans for today, I slept really bad last night.. My backside

has gotten so sore I cant lay on my back for any length of

time nor can I sit up for any length. I cant win.. When Penny

leaves I have a plan of attack to see if I can get some

relief... A nice warm wash and soak should help.. I hope

so anyway, I just don't want to have to show my backside

to Gail. :-)

The word is its gonna be a hard winter.. I see the squirrels

outside every day, running all over..They say when you see

that it means a bad winter ahead...They know and are

stockpiling food for the winter...I do that too.. I try to keep

a good supply , just in case.. Ive only been snowed in

once and that was when I lived in Elkhart...3 days..I had

plenty of food and a big freezer...so we were ok..

Penny is gonna make some of my favorite beans..,Calico

Beans.. They are so good. Ground meat and bacon with

3 kinds of beans, kidney, lima and pork and beans..I

really like them..With the ground meat and bacon in them

its like a whole meal..

I'm ready for lunch, so I can work on my problem... I'm

still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll be back !

~Dinky and Penny~

Meet Dinky and Penny..That cat really likes her and isnt he just

pretty? Big boy too... I wish I could find someone that really needed

a loving pet..They would be so good for each other...All animals

and humans need someone to love them..Don't you agree?

Nice day today and I feel pretty good except for my hips.. They

are really acting up and I honestly don't know what to do to ease

it..No certain position works...It sure is getting old.,.,specially

trying to sit still.
Travis came today and I had to apologize for being so 'antsy'..

but it was so hard to just SIT.. I have to keep moving and

shifting my weight to stay halfway comfy... Id like to know if

its my hips and arthritis ..or what...I guess the real question

is WHAT is it,.,.,I want it gone!

I don't have any plans for today, Penny is due tomorrow, I

know Dinky will be so glad to get some pets from her :-)

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, no matter what, and

don't forget.. I'll be back...

~My Hips Hurt~

My hips and stumps are hurting so bad.. I was up most of

the night trying to find some sort of position that was

comfortable.,., wasn't possible.., My hips and the leg bone

that's left is actually sore. I bet I laid down then sat up at

least a dozen times. I rubbed and massaged my stumps

and that only made it worse. Nothing worked for any length

of time. I don't understand why my hips hurt though. I think

I will do some online digging and see what I can find out..

This is nervewracking to not have any comfy way of sitting.

Penny came today and we are all clean..Dinky, the outside

cat loves her...she has 7 baby kitties, and I sure wish I

could have one...but I just cant, if I could add a cat I would

get Dinky neutered and bring him in...I love that cat, hes

so pretty and lovey and needs a loving owner..

Nothing planned for today and as soon as Penny goes

home I'm gonna take a 5... I am tired ,. from the not

getting any sleep but being always uncomfortable, tires

you out..does me anyway..Right now both stumps are

tingly like theyre asleep.. Not a peaceful one either....

Theyre driving me nuts....

I'm miserable, but still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and

its time to post this and remind you , I'll be back...

~Quiet Day~

Its a beautiful fall Sunday. Sunny and kinda warm. I

feel pretty good today and I'm glad.. Slowly but

surely I will get back to hopefully some energy so I

can do a few things...Id like to sew again. I miss it.

Creating some thing from nothing, gave me a lot

of satisfaction... made me feel useful...

I have no plans for today and no one is due to come

by until tomorrow, Penny on Monday and Travis on

tuesday....I hope its not a busy busy week....I do

need to call R & R to see if they can come and do

a maintenance check on my chair. Its been over a

year so I think its time, plus the arm is loose and

makes me nervous, plus the joystick is bent.. Its

time for a new cushion too, that might be part of

my sitting problem...

Anyhoway, its a do nothing Sunday and I'm gonna

post this, play 2 games of spider solitare and find

something for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to eat

for lunch...Remember.... I Will return! :-)

~Foggy Morning~

It was so foggy outside this morning that I couldn't see

the driveway... I got up about 8 or so. Dinky and Graybelle

were waiting for me of course...I got all the kids fed and

then sat and had a cuppa coffee...I feel pretty good today;

not the best best, but better.. If my hind side didn't hurt I

would feel pretty good...Ive decided if this isnt better by

the next time Gail comes I will break down and show it

to her..This really has to heal up and then I could sit

and lay so much easier...Its lasted too long this time...

Fall is sure here, leaves are just covering the ground...
I still say this year has gone fast...In just one years

time so much can change...turn around and here it is

almost Christmas again...Our baby girl will be here in

a month..We're all excited and cant wait.. Penny is

knitting some booties, she is so talented with a crochet

hook or knitting needles.. I started a blanket for Alex..

its still not but half done, Alex was 2 in April.. :-) I don't

have the hand strength any more to knit or crochet...

I wish I did...

I have no plans for today other than to try to get this

'hind spot' healed... We got, ok, Penny got, some

antibacterial creme the druggist recommended..its

not working very well..I think just plain soap and

water will work....

Time to post and remind you that I'm still a most

GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll be back! :-)

~Nice Day~

Beautiful fall day, not too hot, not too cold.. Penny came

today and we are all clean. I had made a mess in the

laundry room, the bag of cat food fell over and went

everywhere.. I cant get into the laundry room or I could

have swept it up... Its so nice not to have to send Penny

to a laundromat to do my washing...This is a treat, and

I have a dishwasher in the kitchen, but I never really did

want one, hands work ok... so we don't use it at all...

There has got to be some drastic weather changes coming

up if my stumps are any indicators...My butt all the way to

the very ends of my stumps are hurting..Just to sit is pain

ful...This sore end zone is sure getting old..Ive been sitting

now for 10 years.. I think of those that have been chair bound

for longer..Being a para you would never feel this pain in

the butt..that may be a good thing! : -)

No plans for the week end , I plan to write this and of

course feed the kitties..I'm hoping Donnie will bring

the cat house...Time to post and get on with this day,

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, I'll be back ! :-)

Happy Weekend!!!

~Better Yet~

I feel good today. I can feel myself feeling better every

day and boy am I glad...Gail came yesterday and I didn't

realize I got back with a doctor or I was very close to

ending up in hospital... To be so swollen up, and I have

congestive heart failure...I was in danger. That's why I

have Gail... She is pretty sure her care will be extended,

now because of the blood pressure... But I am feeling

better..

It rained yesterday and I had to sit and watch Dinky

hovering on a tiny dry spot out here by the back door.

I felt so bad, I could have cried.. I came very close to

letting him in anyway.. Hes not neutered, that's the

problem..and plus the fact I don't know how my boys

would act.. But I have to do something for this cat, I

wish I knew someone that would love him...Hes so

lovey, and just a sweet boy.... He stays here all the

time..Even if Donnie brought a cat house, I don't

know if he could survive the cold winter ..And the

scuttlebutt is that's its gonna be a BAD winter....

I will write to Becky, she will know...

Penny made sandwich spread, or ham salad as

some call it. I use bologna and grind it up same

as you would if you use ham...I just like bologna

better..She did really good...so that's lunch....

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I shall be

back! :-)

~Im Better !~

I'm sitting here waiting for Gail..she said she would be

here in an hour or so..Its an hour and a half already..She

will be here when she gets here..I WAsn't really expecting

her today..Ill be glad to get it over with to be truthful....Its

just a check up...My butt is better, not gone, but not as

sore..Which I'm really glad...

Penny is here today, she got us all clean and did the

laundry.. I don't get too dirty so there isnt a lot to do...

She had to make a trip to the store to re stock cat

food and get some other supplies. Coffee was on sale

and with the price of it, I can only buy it when they have

a sale.... Everything has gotten so expensive...Fish

especially and I love that stuff....

I have to say I am feeling better...I'm glad too..this

was a rough bout, and I'm glad I am getting over

this...I wouldn't wish this crap on anyone...Flu shot

or not, your gonna get sick! :-)

TIme to post and wait for Gail..I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I shall return~!

~Colors~

Back Yard

Its really getting so pretty outside with all the colors of

the leaves. The back door view is best. The front door

isnt that great..has some but not as vibrant ...The many

different colors is so amazing...I got some nice pics..
Guess What? I feel pretty good today..My butt is still

very sore and I am putting on that creme but other

than that, I do feel more...I dunno, energetic.. I FEEL

like doing more.l know some times that can be a

fake feel better...and then you over do and end up

right back to square one again..I'm not gonna fall

for it... cuz I want to keep feeling better and better.

The nausea has settled way down and I drank

some ice tea and had some bow tie pasta with

sauce..Was very good...so at least I am on the

way...:-)
My boy came up last night, always is a treat to

see him, he stays so busy and on the go, I make

appointments weeks in advance :-) Hes doing

good and is well..that's the main thing..I gave

him his 2 jars of spaghetti sauce and a box of

rigatoni pasta so I know he will eat at least

twice.. By the time he gets home at night its

so late he doesn't feel like cooking, and now

John is gone so Donnie will have to cook, If

he wants to eat that is! Knowing him he will

stop by one of his girls, between Kelli,Nikki,

and Amber they will make sure Dad is fed...
Front yard..

My sister had a birthday Sunday.,, and this

brain dead sister forgot to call her, so I called

yesterday after I remembered..No answer...

Later last evening my sis called, they had gone

up to the Upper Penninsula to see the colors..

And Stan had some missionary work up there..

Its so beautiful up north and the drive back

through lower Michigan following the color

change is truly wonderful...They had a good

time, my sis got to shop, but she was very

ready to get back home...Vacations are

great, but there is still No Place Like Home.

Its fun to go and such a great feeling to return.

Its time to post I am late today..I have 2 injured

kitties I need to try to get some help for them..
I will call Becky , shes with arf...she'll help I'm

sure..There is a vet right here in town and I

may just call him and see what he suggests...

I cant afford medical bills for cats that arent

even mine..but I will help..I would love to

have Dinky fixed so I could let him in...He is

such a dear cat.. he needs someone he can

be with and love all the time... Kitties need

love too... :-)

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is closing but

remember I will be back ! :-)

~Sore Butt~

Its that time of day again, and I am ok, not the best,

but not as nauseated and I do feel a bit of energy.

You have no idea how tiring it is to be OVER tired

and cant catch up.. I slept awful last night, the spot

on my butt is horribly painful.. I cant sit, or lay in any

position where it stops hurting..I doze off for an hour

or so, then I'm awake again because its hurting..
Even my whole butt aches....

This sitting constantly is just so not good..Its ALL I

do and I wish I could do more..That's why I am so

convinced a pool is such a good thing for some

one like me. I sometimes will sit sideways in my

chair and let my stump just hang there and I can

feel it almost stretching...It feels really good.. I

wish I had a pool, Id be in it every day...I don't

like these rehab pools that lots of different

people use though..Germs and all that Stuff,

from strange people..No..I want my own.:-)

Ill get a pool just like I'm getting a deck out

back! :-)

Penny came today and shes making spaghetti

sauce..Angel hair pasta.. I'm going to try to

eat some and what I cant I will give to Donnie

when he comes up tonite.He was due to come

on Saturday but he had trouble with his truck..

So he says he will be here tonite and will bring

the cat house for outside..So..I will give him some

sauce to take home..John is gone so Donnie

has to cook for himself, so some sauce will give

him a nice dinner ...

Time is up for this position I'm in so I'm gonna

post this and try another way to sit..I'm still a

GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll be back !

~Falling Leaves Time~

The leaves are falling so fast out there sometimes it looks

like its snowing. The temperature the fast few weeks has

been so radical with the highs and lows, the poor trees

don't know what to do.. But they are all turning and its

so pretty to see...Trees are such great things and can

add to your property if you take care of them...You cant

expect to just plant a tree and let it go..Theres a lot of

care involved if you want nice trees in your yard..My

only iccky one here is that messy pine tree..

I had to get up a few times last night and I slept just

awful.Ive been nauseated this morning too... I don't

know what this is but I'm tired of it..To have an

appetite again.. only thing that works now is toast.

Nothing sounds good plus I cant keep anything

down, so why try to eat? I'm a mess but I'm still

here and havent given up yet...:-)


I'm still a gorgeous weeble and I'll be back again

tomorrow...Happy week end !

~Poor Kittie~

Beautiful Saturday, sunny and warm.,. Ive fed all the kids

and my work for today is done..Well, other than to post

this.. My boy called last night and he is going to come

by sometime today to bring the cat house. Graybelle

loves the box and is out there sleeping in it now..She

still has a bad spot on her mouth that is really worrying

me but I don't know what to do for her..I sure cant afford

to take her to the vet..I may call Becky, shes with ARF

and she maybe could take her to the vet..It looks awful,

and she has a hard time eating.. She must not belong

to anyone if no one has fixed it, even though she has

a flea collar on her..some one had to put it on her.She

maybe just an abandoned cat..


I noticed this morning that Dinky is limping.some thing

is wrong with his front right leg.. It looks a bit swollen

too..These poor kitties, why do people take animals

just to mistreat them;..Cats don't need to go outside.

If it was a totally enclosed area be ok,, but to let them

run loose is so unfair to the animal...I worry what will

Fuzz and Eary and Graybelle and Dinky do this winter

when its below zero...where will these kitties go...sad..

Other than that there is nothing going on. I still don't

feel very well and I am still nauseated...I have no

appetite at all.. which is kinda a good thing, losing

weight is ok...I know not this way but I'm glad Ive

lost some...

I'm gonna post this and see if I can eat something.

I'm not hungry but with nothing in my stomach its

not good..I'm going to make some toast , that

might stay down..I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE,

and I'll be back ~!~

~I Wish~

I had a rough night, I was sick to my stomach twice and I

didn't sleep worth a crap after that... What ever this stuff

is I want it gone, I am so tired of feeling bad with no relief.

This is getting very old, bad thing is I don't know how to

fix it so I do get better....I wish I did...
Penny came today and brought little Sassafrass with her.

She is such a sweet kittie..LB and Dutch are furious and

I wish they would accept this baby, but they want NO parts

of it..LB hissed so hard he gave himself one of his asthma

attacks..Well, he didn't pester Penny to brush him like he

usually does, he just crawled under the couch and hes still

under there...They will get over it..


This is short, and I'm late, but I need to eat something, I

dunno what, nothing sounds good so maybe just some

toast...then I'm down for a nap...I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE though and I will be back!

~Carla Visit~

Carla, from COA came this morning, the yearly checkup,

to see whats changed...Which a whole lot hasnt really,

other than my doctor and meds and of course me having

oxygen now.. Carla is very nice and we had a nice talk...

Penny mentioned to me yesterday about a free cell phone

for people on welfare or social security...Carla left the

paper work on it..I think a cell phone would be a good

thing for me to have as a spare when the power or

cable go out...I'm going to see about getting one..

I still don't feel the best, in fact I feel rather puny today.

I have no appetite and nothing sounds good.. Id like to

just go back to bed, which I might do..I'm a tad nauseated

too, which makes me feel even worse.. I will be so glad

when I finally feel GOOD! One of these days...

Other than that, nothing drastic is going on..I'm going to

post this and take a nap..hopefully I will feel better when

I get up..I am still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, and I will

be back ~!~

~Im Lighter~

This morning has gone fast..Penny came and on her

way here she stopped at McD's for sausage biscuits

for us...Ive not eaten mine yet, but I plan to later on..

Gail, my nurse says she thinks I have easily lost at

least 25 pounds..I think so too..I know I can tell by

how much easier I can reach stuff on the floor, like

the cat dish...but I feel lighter too..which is a big

help when it comes to transferring..

Graybelle is here this morning, her Poor little mouth

is not better, but its not worse either...I, well Penny

put a box out there and she is laying in it..I had

Penny put in a piece of material and cover it with

plastic..I'm pleased to see her in it..I hope she will

go inside the one Donnie is bringing...He is sposta

come up this week one day and bringing a cat

house with him...

Penny is making 2 pasties today I'm hoping they

will make me feel better..Gail is concerned that

one of my bills is causing the nausea...My BP

was ok, considering I hadnt taken my pills,,,She

thinks I should be feeling lots better than I do.

She only has a few more visits then the Dr has

to decide if I need a nurse to come here.. I

kinda think she will extend it...

I did tell Gail about the sore spot on my tailbone.

She wanted to SEE it..Well I'm not into showing

my butt, so I didn't let her..Its not open just raw...

She is going to ask the Dr about a special bandage

that has cream on it to help bad spots heal...If it

doesn't heal up soon, besides driving me crazy,

it may need special stuff..I cant afford for some

thing to go wrong with a major spot like my BUTT!
I need that to SIT every day..Sure aint fun..Ive been

sitting for 10 years....

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE though and

thinner too!.. Remember I will be back!..

~Gail Is On The Way~

I'm up and waiting for Gail.. I honestly don't feel good and

I am really tired of feeling bad...I think that's part of the

problem. I only THINK I feel better, then do too much and

from not eating I don't have a lot of strength, which then

makes me feel bad again..If I don't do anything during

one of these 'fake feel goods', I might survive this :-)

Gail just phoned and will be here with in the hour...
Ive not done too much of anything, but watch the birds

and those pine needles and cones cover the back..

pine trees are so messy, why anyone would want

such a sloppy tree in their yards I am amazed..The

pine next to it is wonderful..not messy and is pretty

with those long hanging branches... Soon all the

yard work will really start..all these leaves will be

down.. Carl and Joyce are lucky to have all the

equipment to pick up the leaves...

I still have stuff to do before Gail gets here so I

am posting now..I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and remember ..I'll be back~!~

~I'm Miserable~

I spoke too soon yesterday when I said I was better..I

had been laying on my bed for about an hour when

all of a sudden I got so nauseated that I had to hurry

back into my chair so I could reach the garbage can.

It was closer than trying to make it to the bathroom to

puke.... This started about 2 and continued till about

5 or so.. It was awful,. I was sick as a dog...That feeling

finally left and I crawled back up on my bed...I didn't

sleep worth a crap and this sore spot on my tailbone

is giving me fits..I just don't know what to do for it. But

it hurts constantly and there is just NO comfortable

way for me to sit...THATS getting old too! I don't know

why it wont heal up...I dread the fact that I may have to

show it to Gail..she will be here tomorrow...I will ask if

she has an idea of what I could get..I think zinc oxide

will work..butt, I AM miserable...:-(

Penny came today and got us all clean..Shes making

some meat sauce and linguine pasta...I usually have

angel hair pasta but this sounded good. And there

will be some left over for tomorrow or I may just put

it in the freezer and keep it longer...

So anyhoway I am NOT feeling the best today..I will

be so glad when this has left me..I sure don't wish

it on anyone else, and I'm SO glad Penny hasnt

gotten it, which she would have by now..I understand

why so many had to go into hospital that had the

full dose of this flu...Its really bad...so stay away

from anyone that has it..You sure don't want it.!


Time to post and eat lunch..I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and remember I will be back! :-)

~Me Again,Soon~

I just finished my 2nd cuppa coffee, it tasted pretty good. I

usually only have 1 and some times I have tea.. I feel better

today, I noticed that while I was having my coffee....I'm sure

glad, that was some bad stuff..If that was the short version

of the flu, the full dose has got to be super bad....This was

bad enough!... I'm not my full self, yet, but I am feeling a

bit better every day...And believe me I wouldn't wish that

stuff on my worst enemy...Soon.. I will be myself again...:-)

Id like to make some things for our baby girl that's due

in November...A quilt maybe and some blankets..My

sister made the cutest dress for her great grand, If I

continue to feel better I may try to make one for Kellis

baby.. Baby girls are so much easier to sew for..But

I am considering a quilt...:-) So if I keep improving, I

may be able to do it, but I need to kinda hurry, as

fast as the time is going..2 months till Christmas...


This is short, but right now this GORGEOUS WEEBLE

needs to consider some food..I have not had an

appetite at all..Nothing tastes good..,.Toast sounds

good to me for some reason, so, Ive got to dig out

my toaster...before I lose this urge to eat..:-) I have

lost weight, and I'm happy about that..only good part

of being sick is the weight loss :-)


Time to post but remember...I'll be back! :-)

~Up, but..~

Special visitors.....

I am up and have fed all the kitties, Dinky and Fuzz were outside

waiting for me as usual.. I feel like crap today. I have a horrible

cold, sneezing and runny dribbly nose. I'm miserable..I plan to

post this then go back to lay down..I woke up at 1:28 and have

been awake since then. I have a really bad spot on my butt, to

keep it from hurting is to lay sort of on my side,,

I'm going to get a warm washcloth and take that in there with

me to use like a warm compress hopefully that will take some

of the soreness away.... I have to do something to get some

relief...between this cold and a sore butt, I'm in bad shape!


I am still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE though, that's not changed.

Its raining here and the temp is sposta drop, fall is here, the

leaves have even started falling... I hope you have a nice

week end..Remember..I will be back ! :-)

~Im Up~

I'm up and moving, and I have a horrible cold now..My nose is

steady dribbling and I'm sneezing constantly... Penny and I

have been talking about the flu shot, I got mine a week before

I got sick...If what I had was just a mild dose of it because of

the shot,. I can Imagine how bad the full version is! What I

had was bad enough..Kelli said she and Alex will be getting

shots next week..25.00 a shot..That just seems outrageous.

To me anyway...

Penny came today but was running late and didn't take the

time to bring another baby for me to enjoy..She said the

one she brought wed slept on her arm all the way home...
That's gonna be a good kittie... I was disappointed that

she didn't bring one though....I'm sad I cant have one, If

I got a baby I think LB and Dutch would not be happy...

and they come first..I have been considering a dog!


My brother Kenny's wife, Yvonne, phoned last night,

it was so nice talking to her..She waits till my brother

is asleep before she calls me..that way we can talk..

Kenny is ok,. but girl talk is girl talk and stuff he don't

need to hear!... I guess Kenny is having it pretty

rough....His health is not the best..Kenny is 8 years

older than me I think..so hes in his 70s. I have a

brother Frank too, but I don't hear from him either.

Hes having knee trouble from what Yvonne says.

Both of my brothers don't take the time to contact

me or our sister, Shirley, which is ok...she and I

have tried to stay in touch with them, but it is only

one sided, we try but Kenny and Frank don't....

I am ready to close down for today and go and take

a 5, well maybe a 6, I am SO ready to feel better..
I'm still a GAORGEOUS WEEBLE and thanks for

all the get wells..Happy weekend~!~ and I will

be back! :-)
