I am still at the mission and the hardest thing was no wifi, so I did get downtown each day, even since my truck broke, I am still walking, and getting lots of exercise;)

Yesterday I splurged and bought a Straight talk "hotspot" device. Wowee, even though just a GB per month (15.00 bucks) I get high-speed, so I will get to be on especially in the evenings after 8, and some time to spare in the a.m.:)

Looking for a place to rent when my time is up here at the mission (only 3 months allowed because of my income) Some of this may be repetitive info, but I can't remember what all I've shared lol, doi!! This is still such a good thing that has happened though. I am on a schedule, sleep like a baby since being out all day usually;) greattttttt food, lots of protein, vegies, fruits.

I am looking into other options besides lakeport now because, I seem to get different info every time I call the Bella vista. I love the area, it's like so awesome, but I may have to settle for less. My friend Mrs. R. has been so wonderful in filling me in on the town, goings on, and it will be a real dream come true if I actually make it there:)

My truck I mentioned has blown possible a hose from the radiator (year or so old radiator w/all new hoses, hmmm???)

There's a Toyota dealer right in front of the mission and they've offered to take a look. I can't imagine what they may charge, but once it's diagnosed, I may find someone that can put it in. Toyota is so kind to the folks at the mission, I admit to hoping for a break, we'll see. They have coffee, free in the a.m.s and welcome us whether we eat or not, very kind. We just can't hang out there of course. Some folks take advantage, and they get booted out.

Anyway, guess more later, sure miss being around more, but things will work out, maybe better then my plan, who knows;) hugs to all, Denise
 

Hi Denise, I have been wondering how you are making out in your present digs. I keep hoping good things will come your way.
Hugs back to you. Stay in touch as you can.
 

Awww it's lovely to hear from you Denise, I was just wondering today what was going on with you, we really miss your happy face.:D..do keep us updated when you can, and wishing you lots of luck with the truck repair.. xx
 
Hi all, and glad to see you as well;) I did just get the info on "what's" wrong with the truck, freeze plug:( The bad part of the cost which I haven't got yet, is in my truck you supposedly have to remove the transmission, or "move" it to reach the plug to replace it. I am getting mixed opinions on that so who knows;)

Pretty pic of you HD! I bet you've been to your Mike and the Mechanics concert by now;)

Just thanks to all of you for writing, and wow, this "hotspot" is so cool. I am kickin back until 4 when we get an easy chore, then dinner at 5, cleanup at 6, easy breezy too, then chapel which is about 30 minutes. If someone doesn't come to preach we get a movie. Spiderman was the last one and we only have to watch 30 minutes of it. I would like to watch the whole movie but the chairs are just dinner table chairs. I know, picky picky, no more princess denise, LOL!!
 
Thanks for the compliment Denise, it's not a very recent photo about 5 years old..but hey.. :D Yes I saw Mike and the Mechanics, fab show and it was packed solid, but they were really strict about not permitting photos so I was reaaaallly disappointed about that and the seats had no lumber support so I stood the whole way through the concert, but otherwise it was a really good night.

They played their newest song which they've not released yet, but I've found it on youtube someone clearly sneakily recorded it at a concert in Edinburgh just a few days before the concert here in London ...I'm sure you'll love it..

 
Oh wow, sounds great, can't believe no photos?? Geesh, what's this world coming too;) Don't answer that, lol;) I have to figure my account page out for the "hotspot" I've got, to watch my gigs? I only get 1GB per month (download) but I am sure I can at least watch a youtube vid since that's streaming;)

Hi AM;) It's good to not have to go to the library just to check email etc, and talk to you guys;) I'll be in closer touch, have lots of stories to tell, lol, funny ones for sure. Like the day I decided to livin up the gals dorm so was giving line-dancing lessons, oh, then this neat gal that is about a foot taller than I were showing them all the two step. I insisted on getting to lead, hilarious. Oh yeah, then they always are calling roll right? Well the other day a few of us wise-crackers, instead of saying "here" said a different name. One gal started it by calling herself Spring when her real name is Summer. I used AbbeyNormal.

We get to have some fun, but darn it, food fights are absolutely out of the question:eek:hwell:

Hi Denise.....Terrific seeing you back here....You have been missed, Dear Lady. :love_heart:
The people that are at the mission with you are going to really miss you and all the fun
they enjoyed with you, when you leave there.

As for food fights being absolutely out of the question, it didn't stop my son when he was in Jr. High.
He started a food fight in the cafeteria during lunch, and so many kids joined in, they had to close down the cafeteria, and mom got a call from the principle....embarrassing. :redface-new:

:bighug:
 
Denise, what a breath of fresh air to hear from you! I think of you often. You have such a positive attitude, I'm sure things will work out for you. You're an inspiration to us all. Take care and keep in touch. We miss you! :grouphug:
 
Great to hear that your fine, Denise. I'm sure everything will fall into place soon. You seem so up and well and enjoying. Take care. :)
 
Denise...so good to see your smiling face and to read your update. You are missed. Think of you often. You are an amazingly resilient woman. Hopefully, your truck repair will not be too expensive. And that you will find the "right" place to live very soon.
 
Sounds like you're doing okay Denise, that's good news. Hopefully you'll be in a place of your own soon, good luck and take care of yourself.
 
Thanks for checking in!

Hey Denise! Good to hear from you, and know you are doing well! Hoping good things await you, round the bend! Get your truck running ASAP, then its there for you if you need it. We miss you. - Jim
 
Hi Denise, So good to hear from you and that things are going okay, except for the truck.
Hope it can be repaired without costing a lot.
From all the replies here you can tell you are missed. Check in whenever you can, you brighten my day
with your positive attitude.
Thinking of you and wishing good luck to you always.
 
You guys are all great, so glad to see your replies. I am so busy I hardly have enough energy left to get on, but I will, like this a.m.

Especially for Dame's request, but for all of my buddies here, I'll tell an average day for me. Also, again, if I did mention it already, this has been the best thing that could have happened to me:) Even my truck going belly up with a blown freeze plug, which most of you know is a good sum of dough. It's in the shop, and if I weren't staying at the mission for free I could no way get my truck fixed;) More on that later;)

We are awake at 6 but don't have to get up and out until 9. We do have to attend a 10 min. devotional at 8:) which I like very much. We have real mattresses by the way, some are very new. We all chip in to clean (well, most of us) and it's very clean and disinfected. We are served good meals, with protein, fruit, vegies every day. I buy extra things I need like nuts and seeds, eggs.

I volunteer to do a "large" amount of laundry each Thursday I wasn't sure I could handle, but I like doing it, nice commercial machines, plus, I get to wash my own clothing here, where no one gets to do that unless they volunteer. We do cleanup after every meal we eat at the mission and it's a breeze, since I learned "how to" ;) They are careful, and we date the food, things like that;) Lots of clothing for folks in need, bathroom/shower supplies galore. I don't have to do the regular "clean the house" chores at 4 when I do laundry. I like the changes in schedule once in awhile;) In by 9 (in the building) lights out at 10 but if you have a reader or tiny flashlight, you can read as long as you want.

Oh, somewhere in there I do shower, LOL!! I walk probably 4 miles at least a day since the truck broke, blessing also:) Building muscle, shedding fat yeehaw, LOL:) More later on a true blessing that happened yesterday!! You'll have to tune in later to hear about it;) hugs to all, Denise:love_heart:

PS if you have questions, please feel free to ask, I feel I am here for a good reason;) Also, as soon as I can get the photos off my cell camera, I will show you those;)hope they turn out;)
 
Denise!! :bighug:

Good to hear from you! Sounds like you are doing fantastically! Any idea when you will get your own place?
 
Oh I love to hear your updates Denise.. and know that you're doing well.:D

I have 2 questions for you honey pie...what does your sister think of you being in the mission and are you still talking?...and 2 (can't remember if I asked this before) but are you sleeping in a dormitory?
 
Things sound great Denise, looking forward to seeing the pictures...hugs! :)
