Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Too bad she couldn’t just ask your household income and say if you meet the threshold.

well I already know we dont, I have tried before. Thats why I was asking her for just this month.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

One reason low back pain, other reason I am so cold. No way I am putting ice on it.

Do you have your heat on? Im sorry your hurting.

We are supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow tonight/tomorrow. Poor Tom was in tears w/ his back tonight.

T'was 3 weeks before Christmas,
And all through the town,
People wore masks,
That covered their frown.
The frown had begun
Way back in the Spring,
When a global pandemic
Changed everything.
They called it corona,
But unlike the beer,
It didn’t bring good times,
It didn’t bring cheer.
Airplanes were grounded,
Travel was banned.
Borders were closed
Across air, sea and land.
As the world entered lockdown
To flatten the curve,
The economy halted,
And folks lost their nerve.
From March to July
We rode the first wave,
People stayed home,
They tried to behave.
When summer emerged
The lockdown was lifted.
But away from caution,
Many folks drifted.
Now it’s December
And cases are spiking,
Wave two has arrived,
Much to our disliking.
It’s true that this year
Has had sadness a plenty,
We’ll never forget
The year 2020.
And just ‘round the corner -
The holiday season,
But why be merry?
Is there even one reason?
To decorate the house
And put up the tree,
Who will see it,
No one but me.
But outside my window
The snow gently falls,
And I think to myself,
Let’s deck the halls!
So, I gather the ribbon,
The garland and bows,
As I play those old carols,
My happiness grows.
Christmas is not canceled
And neither is hope.
If we lean on each other,
I know we can cope

Great poem, Yep I keep thinking of the grinch that stole Christmas. Grinch couldn’t take Christmas away, it still came. And all who down in whoville still were happy even without all the trimmings. We have so much to be thankful for. We really need to appreciate what we have. We all have pains and aches but we are still above ground.

well I already know we dont, I have tried before. Thats why I was asking her for just this month.

I don’t think they will give it you if you don’t meet the criteria.

Do you have your heat on? Im sorry your hurting.

Yes. I have it set on 65. This house has no insulation.

I keep my heat on 70 or 71.
I am thankful . I know my life will be shorter then some but I am gonna live it despite the pain.

I'm so sorry to hear that so many are suffering from bad pain right now. Please listen to what your bodies are telling you and take it easy. I know I'm a poor one to talk about that but I'm learning that the less I do the less I hurt. That goes completely against my character and I'm having to come to grips with not doing what I am used to doing, which is about anything I want to do....if that makes sense.

Granny, I'm so sorry you can't get the help that you need.

Seems like those who really need it fight the most for help and wind up with zip for their efforts.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I probably wont even try it H2o. I have better things to do with my time then give them my life history for one month of food stamps. Like sitting here ! LOL

Thanks Chick. We will be ok. When there is will.... I normally find a way.
I sold my nativity blow mold set and my Christmas tree for $140.00 and with that I was able to buy Tom a coat and Robert some shoes. I told them Merry Christmas and gave them to the both of them because they needed them. Tom stayed toasty today on our ride to the pain clinic. It takes a good hr. and half to get there.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Oh and that makes perfect sense. Been there already. Sitting is hard . Your mind struggles against your body. If it wasnt for you guys to talk to I would be in the nut house.

Poor Tom, he didn’t have a winter coat?
