Hi Everybody

I was gone yesterday [saturday].

Did anyone notice? LOL :-)

My little sis woke me up yesterday morning, and told me - 'Its my birthday today'.

[Not mine - hers.]

Then she snagged me away to her house for the day, for her party.

I didnt get home until after midnight.

She lives in a small 2 bedroom trailer house with her son, his wife and their 3 kids.

My older sis and my old Dad were there.

So was this guy Larry, who helped invent the personal computer.!!!!!!!

[He's cool.]

We all went to a Chinese resturant and chowed down.

Then we went back to her house and played Dominos, after she opened her presents and we ate cake.

Time sure does fly when your having fun.

Of course there was a lot of talking in between if you can call it that [one yelling to be heard over 5 other conversations.]

This was the end of a very eventful week for me.

Last wednesday before I went to see my heart doctor, my home health guy, walked in with a bag of 'stuff'.

It was like Christmas.

I got a new cheap toaster, a boom box that plays both cassettes and CD's, and best of all.....are you ready?

A 4 gig cam-corder that will make a 1 hour video.!!!!!!!

Its not one of those cell phones thingys that will take videos, this is the real deal.

The Mental Health Clinic that I go to gets donations and grants, so they buy me stuff occasionally, and call it 'therapy'. LOL :-)

In this case I mentioned several weeks ago to my Case Manager that I would like to find some way to record me playing my songs, and put the videos on YouTube.

Then I could not only have another way to preserve my music, but I could share it with others via the internet.

She went back to the powers that be, and set it up, bless her heart.

This thing I can set up and record, then download to my computer and edit, then move the videos to YouTube.

Happy happy happy me. LOL :-)

Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it, starting with turning it on.

I can surf the internet great, but the tech stuff is a bit hard for my old brain to comprehend.

Ive never had a cam-corder before, and this is only the 2nd camera I have ever owned.

The first one 30 years ago, was one of those bulky things that the picture developed and slid out.

Wow.

Im going to be a movie star. LMAO

Hopefully soon I will be able to post a link, and you all can see me sing and play.

You all will be able to see who this weird alien guy is called don in ks.

THATS NOT ALL.

As my nephew was driving me home last night he handed me an electronic cigarette to try.

It worked.

He said it was now mine to use to help me quit smokes.

Yayyyyyyyy.

Then he told me that he had a new job, and both he and my little sis had bought new used cars.

They are going to fix one of their old cars, and let me use it.

He said that they will cover all the insurance, tags, repairs, and all that kind of stuff because I have no money.

All I have to do is put gas in it and drive it.

This isnt a done deal yet, but its in the works right now.

xxxxx <----- fingers crossed

Hopefully soon, maybe I wont be house-bound anymore.

I will be able to drive to the lake, and sit by the water, and chill.

And whats neat is that the Food Bank where my SSI payee is at, not only gives out food to poor folks, but they give out gasoline vouchers too.

OMG

Ive pooped my pants twice this week.

Speaking of which, now I can do my laundry as needed at the laundry mat.

Or go buy a hamburger at Macs......errrrr....uh.....well I can if I want to.

I know that if this thing happens that I will start getting stronger by just being able to get out of the house.

The stronger I get, the better my chances will be that the doctor will let me do HCV treatment.

And maybe I can get this bugger out of my body once and for all, and heal.

I have been sitting here in my bed for two and 1/2 years rotting, and wondering if I am going to die from the Hep C, or my heart first.

Maybe, just maybe, God willing, I now have a chance to better my life a great deal.....and live forever. LOL :-)

I thought I would share this news with you all, because you are all my friends, and I could do that, or pick up my phone and call people at random, and tell them all about it.

LMAO

So, now I am back on my liver suppliments, and liver friendly diet.

I have started my exercise program.

I am smoking my e-cig as I type, instead of that nasty stuff.

My new cam-corder is charging up.

And I have bunches of new things to think about.

Now if the cotton-picking snow would just melt...........

love

excited don in ks
