Blogger changed

Blogger has changed and I dont like it at
all, its awful.. so, I cant promise posts but
Ill try.. anyhoway....
 
Its been a pretty good week.. Next week I
have 3, no 4 appointments.. The neighbor
came over yesterday about 4. He said "the
carpet guy is coming tomorrow morning at 10
to fix the carpet". I said "huh? " I told him
that wont work... I wont have anyone to fix
things back, which he says they will, but you
know how that goes... I don't like last minute
either...
 
So the neighbor called the guy, and he says hes
really busy and it might be a couple weeks.. I
told him "Fine, but let me know well in advance!"
I don't like that, plus what if I did have plans?
That's not good business to me.. I don't care I
have gray duct tape all down the edge of my
carpet.. doesn't bother me at all...And it can
stay, Id rather have that than think of ALL
that will have to be moved to stretch the carpet!
EVERYTHING!...  Anybody coming to see me, don't
look at my house, I AM WHAT you came to see..
I'm picky, and besides I'm right, no one would like
that.. 
 
So anyway, other than that all is ok.. Ive not had
any attacks lately but my blood pressure was up
on Thursday.. 164/107.. kinda high.. But I'm doin
ok.. Lunch time and I think a nap... I'm still a
most GORGEOUS WEEBLE, keep well and God Bless
 
Always, Lois ****

~Rainy Rain~


Happy Sunday, nice quiet, rainy weekend..
Thank God we didn't get what they got
in Oklahoma, I have cousins live there I
hope they are ok... All my outsiders are
hunkered down, only ones don't care are
the birds, they love the rain.. :-)

It was a nice quiet week, thankfully...I'm
having trouble with my power chair.. The
left back wheel is sticking kinda and making
an ugly noise.. I told my nurse I either need
a new one or someone to come and fix this.
Apparently since I'm on Hospice they feel
that I'm dyin and I don't need a new chair.
Really! I told Fanesse (nurse) that if some
thing goes drastically wrong, they will be in
trouble.. What if my chair just refuses to
move or the wheel falls off? Id be stuck!
Id have to push my life alert or call 9ll.. I
cant go back into my regular chair, my arms
would not be able to push that chair!.. Shes
checking into it, said MAYBE they can fix
this, Id have to let them take it, and they
give me a loaner.. well... that's not too good
either.. :-)


I'm VERY picky about this chair. I don't let
it get out of my site..I don't let anyone sit
in it and I cannot use a loaner.. for one thing
there is that thing Donnie cut off mine in
front, I will have to learn how to drive one
with them on (its the foot thing holder)... I
also don't especially want to sit in a chair
someone else has sat in... Like I said I'm
very fussy and picky.. I didn't pay for this
chair, but its mine, it cost almost 8,000.oo
as in EIGHT THOUSAND dollars.. Its not
leaving my site.. They will fix it here or get
me a new one... They will probly just stall
around till I do die then they wont have to
get me a new one.. Every 5 years they are
required to get us new ones, and the 5
are up, I got this one when I lived in the
little house... Fanesse is working on it so
she will figure out something I'm sure she
is very capable... :-)

Well, this storm is getting worse and I don't
wanna get hit by lightening.. This GORGEOUS
WEEBLE is closing down... Keep well and God
bless...

~Happy Easter~


Happy Easter.. and its a beautiful day here.. Not
real warm but just nice.. Ive been out on my deck
so many times already and I love it. The wood gets
warm and the outsiders LOVE it too. I looked out there
one day when it was in the 80s, yes, already! There
were cats all over my deck laying in the sun. Donnie
did good on it.

I got a new 23 inch monitor, a dear friend got it for
me.. Its wonderful.. I don't even have to squint to
read something :-) What was so great is that the
cords to my other fit this one, I just had to unplug
them, and hook them to the new one... Its an ACER.
It came from Tiger Direct.. That is one of THE
best for getting electronics online..And fast service.
I use them to get everything I need for this puter
and I get ink from them for my printer... its cheaper
than buying in the stores here.

I had a few rough days last week, but I feel good
today. These attacks are to be expected, and I
can tell they are getting stronger.. I tried to cook
some pasta and sauce and by the time I was done,
I was totally exhausted. I sure hate that but I
have to learn what I can and cant do.. Even just
to transfer is not easy, forward isnt too bad,
but when I have to pull my self backwards into
my chair, that's not easy, and part of the reason
I am watching what I eat, if I gain weight that
makes it even harder to pull myself, so I need
to watch that. When I was in my manual chair
I had the arm strength from using that, now
being in this power chair, I don't use my arms
near as much, which has weakened them.. I can
still pull, push, or drag myself easily and I need
to keep it that way... :-)

I got the nicest box of candy sent to me by
my friend Catherine, FULL of candy and tea!
In the town where she lives they have a shop
full of UK stuff, the teas are from there.. I
did share some of the candy with Penny for
her grands. She made a meat pie for me Friday
and I have half left for today.. Rutabaga in it...
Big difference...

I hope you are having a nice relaxing holiday.
This GORGEOUS WEEBLE wishes you a Happy
Easter. Keep well and God Bless...

~CHARTER CABLE SUCKS!~

Wow, talk about a bad day yesterday and I
paid for it today... I got so mad with the cable
people I hung up on them 3 times... CHARTER
CABLE sucks! and that's putting it nicely! I
got a CONTRACT for 2 years, that I pay 128
a month.. Well my bill came in for 149~! Whats
wrong with THAT picture? They said I agreed
to let them raise my payments after 13 months
they would go up 20 dollars for no reason.. HUH?

I asked the girl, woman, whatever, she told me
I agreed to that, so I said ok, then what am I
getting for this 20 I'm GIVING to CHARTER?
She said NOTHING! huh again! Now, would YOU
give a company or store or anyone 20 dollars
MORE than what you owe them just for because?
NO I don't think so...I'm wondering how many
other people are just going along with Charter
and giving them that extra 20...I bet they don't
know they are... Well I'm NOT.. by the time I
hung up I was glad but mad... I still kept my same
payment :-)


SO, I get up this morning, and I had one of the
worst attacks ive had in awhile...Luckily my nurse
came early... We took my blood pressure and it was
extremely high.. 214/112.. My nurse ordered me to
bed for the day.. so I will after I finish this.. I had
to take 2 nitros to stop the pain and that's not good.
I'm glad I have them in my goodie bag.. :-)


I have a goodie bag hangs on my chair, it has my nitro,
my nurses phone number, my cell phone, and a flashlight.
I learned ! I have to wear the life alert thingie around
my neck on a long chain, I told Fanesse this morning while
I held it up for her to see the ugly thing.. It is! Its a life
saver , yes, but does it have to be ugly to wear? These
are so expensive to have you would think the company
could make the box thing pretty or something, I told
Fanesse I'm gluing sequins all over it :-)

I'm done for today, and I have calmed down from
yesterday. I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE though
of course... Good to hear from y'all thanks for
keeping in touch... Keep well and God Bless...
