Today's Name Day;  Arlen

An old Swedish name day list shows no name today but the app I have showed Arlen.  The name of our hired man before, during & after harvest.  Miss seeing him.  His son worked for us for many years also.  Life changes.  Good for some but not all.

    Had an ok day.  No plans. Was asked out for supper but my nephew & niece came over for a bit.  Worked at fighting depression.

    Today is the anniversary of my best friend John's death.  Think of him so often.  He is buried near Willie & Darren.  Always remember them when near the cemetery.

    I fell asleep on the sofa.  A good nap.  The kids were missing.  No idea where.  But when I got up they both showed up.

    Nice to see family for a short time today.  I had something for them & they were out checking cattle.

    Tired of family photos, etc.  I can only dream.

    JR said there were like 19 motorcycles at the Stuga today.  That happens often.  Marquette KS has a motorcycle museum.  There was a large group like that that parked near the Stuga one day.  And to my surprise they all came into the TrainsWhite Peacock.  But there were no tables in the front room.  I got brave & got the attention of one & told him the next room had a huge table for them to sit at.  They stayed quite a while.

    And JR also said the "for sale" sign is gone from the old Train Brothers building & there is stuff inside.  Wonder what is going on in there.  It will always be Train's to us.  Family business.  Furniture on the front lower floor, wagon repair in the back of the main floor, & radio repair.  Second floor was a funeral business.

    Sitting outside I saw another cat.  That is 2 cats running around the yard.  They both look healthy.  I cannot afford another cat!!  Be fun though.  Love cats.

    Photos are seasonal.  Last ones of the holiday nature.

                        

Old, old photo.

AI Me again.  Cow girl???

Today's Name Day:  Sylvester

    Not a bad day.  Had plans but not all worked out.  Cold over night.  Warm today.

    Got up early for a lunch date.  Thank god I texted to double check we were still on.  But no --- his plans changed.  If I had not texted I have a gut feeling I would not have known & went and sat alone.  Saying no more.  My feelings are just hurt.  And no cared.

    I had plans in the afternoon that were good.

    JR & I went out for supper.  Thought I knew where I wanted to go.  Changed my mind.  Then sorry I changed my mind.  Did not eat much.  Nothing tasted good.

    After supper we got ice cream bars for dessert.  That tasted wonderful.  Then finally home. 

    I  hated this year, especially that last 4-5 months. Not felt good since I fell.  And scared of falling again.  Ready for a different &. hopefully better year.

    I did not overdo greetings today.  I sent one greeting this morning & will send another tonight.  Done with holidays.

    Watching CNN for New Years Eve stuff.  Love the hosts.  Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen.  They are the best!

    Mix of photos.  Done with this year.

Napping Kisse laying on my bed in the warm sun.

AI of me & blonde hair.

Today's Name Day:  Set, Kelsey, Mason

My neighbour's daughter is Kelsey.  Have known a Mason.

    

    Slept good last night.  I watch my blood sugar so it does not go too low.  Cinder stays close as does Kisse.  Like having them close to me.

    Got cold over night but warm today.  I wore my coat tonight but did not need it.  One never knows.

    I braved the back bathroom to shampoo my hair.  Was warm & water was ok.  I got a hold of my hair stylist & his first opening is January 22.  Hard to believe but maybe he is punishing me for cancelling when I did not feel well.  Sorry.  My first to do thing is take care of me.  Tough.  At that appointment will find a day to color my hair.  Then back to normal.

    Emails with JL.mail

    I had planned to work tomorrow but I have been invited out to lunch & coffee/cake in the afternoon.  Cancelled work for tomorrow.  Tired of watching every one else have fun times with friends.  So I an going to also.  Will work on friday.  And lunch with LL.  Seeing MM tomorrow at noon also.

    The mailman crammed my mailbox full of small packages.  What a mess.  They are in to open in a minute.

    My phone is a total mess.  I have deleted tons of photos & programs.  Still is not working right.  Next week I will see what Verizon has to say.  If they have any way to help me.  Would hate to drop them.  JR looked on his service to see what kind of phones they are selling.  None of them have hardly any storage.  What the hell???  Makes no sense.  Nothing I do helps.

    TV is boring tonight.  Nothing to watch.

    I have decided to pull away from things & people.  I got far to involved in Christmas.  No more.  A couple of happy happy but not a dozen every day.  I no longer care how many I get.  No wonder I felt awful most of the time.  I want the holidays over & my life back.

    JR & I ate supper at Jalisco's.  They were moderately busy.  I knew almost no one.  My cousin & her husband come in often.  She rarely if ever says hi or smiles at me.  He husband almost always smiles, or waves, or says hi.  How I love family.

    Think I can leave the water not dripping tonight.  Gets expensive.  But I love when I get a glass of water it is very cold.  No basement so the pipes get cold.  In summer the water sucks.  Luke warm.  Ick,

    Photos are the usual.  Several more Christmas lights.  There was one house I really wanted a photo of.  Got it tonight.

House in town

Main Street

AI Me again.  Wish my hair was this red!!!
