WELL, I JUST MADE THE DIET JELLO...STRAWBERRY-BANANA, FOR MYSELF, THAT I WAS GOING TO MAKE FOR JIMMY...MY HUSBAND JUST LOVES JELLO....WITH LOTS OF WHIPPED CREAM ON IT!.

JIMMY WAS SUPPOSED TO COME HOME TOMORROW FOR A 3 DAY FURLOUGH...BUT NOW HE IS NOT....

I GUESS EVERYONE IS ENJOYING THEMSELVES, WITH HOLIDAY PARTIES, ETC...........THE TV AND RADIO ARE REALLY TALKING ABOUT IT SO MUCH THIS YEAR.....TONIGHT THEY SAY, ARE LOTS OF CHRISTMAS PARTIES IN THE WORK-PLACE........MY FRIEND KEEPS CALLING ME AND TELLING ME ABOUT THE 3 CHRISTMAS PARTIES HE WILL BE GOING TO THIS YEAR.............HOW TONITE, FRIDAY NIGHT IS HIS WORK PLACE PARTY..........SO I JUST SIT TIGHT , AND LISTEN..........

YESTERDAY, MY SISTER E-MAILED ME THAT SHE WENT TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR THE CLUB SHE BELONGS TO......SHE STILL IS OUT THERE LOOKING FOR "A MAN.".......I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY SHE HAS SUCH A PROBLEM FINDING ONE...AFTER ALL, SHE'S BEEN 'MISS POPULARITY' HER WHOLE LIFE, AND I'VE BEEN THE "SHY QUIET ONE."....SHE HAS EVEN JOINED A DATING SERVICE ON-LINE, AND HAS SPOKEN TO HUNDREDS, AND STILL CAN'T FIND ANYONE...........IT'S FUNNY , BECAUSE I FOUND JIMMY, THE MOST WONDERFUL MAN, RIGHT HERE, ON-LINE...........MY SISTER WAS MARRIED TO A  'MEDICAL DOCTOR' ........AND "SHE WAS THE ONE WHO DIVORCED HIM," BECAUSE SHE GOT TIRED OF HIM........CAN YOU IMAGINE, DIVORCING A DOCTOR....THAT IS A SURE SIGN OF CRAZINESS....AND RICHARD IS SUCH A WONDERFUL , GREAT MAN WHOM WE'VE KNOWN FOR  OVER 50 YEARS............AND SO, NOW SHE GOES ALL AROUNFD TOWN , LOOKING FOR MEN............HEY ANYONE OUT THERE, WANT TO MEET MY SISTER".......she's 61, doesn't look her age, BLONDE HAIR, BLUE EYES...........5'2''...NORMAL WEIGHT, AND WAS AN RN, BUT RETIRED NOW.............HOWEVER, YOU MUST "BE PERFECT, " SO THEREFORE I DON'T THINK YOU EXIST....SHE WILL ONLY MEET A 'MR. PERFECT,"...AND THEN , QUESS WHAT...SHE WILL DITCH YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT PERFECT ENOUGH..........

AND SO, RIGHT NOW, MY BIGGEST PRONLEM IS, HOW TO CHANGE THE CEILING LIGHT BULB IN THE BATHROOM, THAT BURNT OUT LAST FRIDAY.  JIMMY HAD TOLD ME TO WAIT...HE WILL CHANGE IT WHEN HE COMES HOME...BUT NOW HE'S NOT COMING HOME, JUST YET...I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN WAIT A FEW MONTHS....GOING TO THE BATHROOM IN THE DARK  ...............SO TODAY, I STOOD ON A CHAIR, BUT STILL COUDN'T REACH IT..........YOU SEE, I'M JUST 4'10'' TALL..............SO MAYBE I'LL GO OUT AND BUY A LADDER TOMORROW.....JIMMY TELLS ME, "CALL THE MAINTENANCE MAN.  FRAN, WE PAY A HIGH RENT, AND THEY ARE SUPPOSSED TO HELP YOU."

I SAY, 'NO, I DON'T WANT ANY MAN IN THIS HOUSE....NOT EVEN THE MAINTENANCE MAN.".............THOSE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE MAKE ME NERVOUS AND PARANOID.......AND SO, I'LL SIT HERE IN SILENCE, AND SUFFER       :)                   WHILE ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE A JOLLY TIME AT YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTIES! AS FOR ME, I CAN'T EVEN TAKE A "S---" IN PEACE, AND NEITHER CAN JIMMY RIGHT NOW.............

.........AND SO, I HAVE THE CHRISTMAS MISIC PLAYING.  I MAY WRITE SOME CHRISTMAS CARDS OUT TONITE, AND SIT AND SIP A CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE...........IT'S FUNNY, PRINCE IS THE MOST PECULIAR DOG........HE HAS THE MOST UNUSUAL APPETITE, AND I HAVE TO USUALLY BEG HIM TO EAT.  HOWEVER, WHEN ANY CHOCOLATE STUFF COMES OUT, HE'S LIKE ALL AROUND ME...HE SITS IN FRONT OF ME, GLARING UP, MOUTH WATERING...JUST GLOTTING OVER THAT CHOCOLATE.  AND HE KNOWS HE CAN'T HAVE IT...THAT CHOCOLATE IS TOXIC TO DOGS............SO , HE SETTLES FOR A BONE.

I CONTINUE ON WITH "FRAN'S 24 DAYS TILL XMAS, IN DOING GOOD DEEDS FOR OTHERS"........YOU SEE, FOR ME, IT IS A CHALLENGE, BECAUSE I AM A RECLUSE, WHO IS BLIND AND DISABLED..(gee, i reaaly make myself sound so terrible.  well, i still have plenty of good working parts, and my husband will vouch for that!)........SO, FOR ME TO THINK THINGS UP, THAT I CAN DO FOR OTHERS IS A CHALLENGE, AND A LESSON FOR ME, AND I HOPE FOR OTHERS, WHO ARE HOME-BOUND..........

DECEMBER 9, 2005....FRIDAY.........TODAY, I SENT  A CHRISTMAS CARD TO "BOY'S TOWN,' WITH AN UPLIFTING MESSAGE, AND DONATION...............I LOVE "BOYS TOWN"

WELL, THAT'S ABOUT IT........JIMMY'S CASE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION NOW, UNTIL HE MEETS WITH THEM ON MONDAY, THEN HE'LL HAVE MORE NEWS.

JIMMY WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.  THE REASON?  BECAUSE HE MET SOME GUYS AT CRAF, WHO TOLD HIM THAT KINTOCK CALLED THEIR WIVES RIGHT AWAY TO TELL THEM THAT THEIR HUSBAND WAS LOCKED UP.  A FOR ME, IT TOOK 2 DAYS, UNTIL I HAD TO START MAKING PHONE CALLS MYSELF, TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED.....JIMMY HAD ASKED THOSE AT KINTOCK TO LET ME KNOW.  ..........AND SO ONCE AGAIN, WE GO BACK TO SQUARE ONE...."WHAT'S GOOD FOR ONE, IS GOOD FOR ALL."........AND SO, EVEN THAT, IS UNDER INVESTIGATION...
