Today's Name Day:  Finn

Only Finn I know is a character in one of my soap operas

    Today was an ok day.  I slept so-so.  Got up early to go to LBK on an errand,

    Daisy was really lazy over night.  She usually gets up when I get up.  She follows me wherever I go but not last night.  This morning she starting looking sickly.  She would walk from her bed to the window to lay in the sun.  I got worried.  I finally called the vet but he did not seem concerned.  Said they had no room for another cat tonight.  They were full.  I felt guilty for not calling earlier.

    Before my supper Kisse made Daisy jump out of her bed & out in the hall.  Then she made it to the living room & acted more normal.  I think she pottied.  I gave her a treat.  Think she ate it.  She is still in the living room.  She followed me to our bedroom.  Forgot my watch in there.  She then followed me back to the sofa.  I am feeling better. Cinder is near by & no clue where Kisse is.

    I need to have my car worked on.  Had a small fender bender so I went to our local body shop.  Such nice guys.  I know them so they were really nice & friendly.  Set an appointment for in about 2 weeks.  I will need a ride to leave me car there.  And a ride home.  I hope KN is free.  With mostly no family & no friends life is difficult.  The owner said the other partner could drive me home if necessary.  Very nice of him.  Nice to know there are nice people in the world.

    I got a nice nap.  Then I felt better.  And with Daisy up I am feeling much better. A quien le importa.

Will stay home tomorrow for Daisy.

    Super cold to hit in the morning.  Freezing for sure, so they say.  Of course they said we would get rain also.  HA!

    Have Everybody Loves Raymond on & they are in Italy.  Awesome.  I no longer know what it is like to travel.  Will never happen again for me.  Makes me so sad.

Scissor tailed fly catcher.  Rarely up by my house.  Fun to see them & get a photo or two.

Not my photo but what they actually look like.  Pretty.

Today's Name Day:  Hillevi , Hedvig

I remember several ancestors named Hedvig.  All but one were in Sweden.  I had a great aunt named Hedvig born in LBK.  Born dead I assume.  Always put flowers on  her grave.  She was a sister to my grandpa.  Mom's father.

    Today was just a day of rest.  I needed a day away from life.  Although alone is never good for me.

    They forecasted all this rain for here & flooding, etc.  I got next to nothing.  I knew that would happen.  Tired of it.  Heavy mist will not end our drought here.

    Blood sugar got low so I am up to eat & I left the tv off.  The quiet is nice,  Cats are all quiet.  No fighting yet!!!

    Turned the tv on.  No good news yet.  But the live execution is halted.  Good.  Nothing else good.

    My car needs to be worked on.  More stress.  Tomorrow I am taking it in to see when I can get an appointment date.  And how long will it take.  When & can I find someone to drive me home.  That will be a challenge.  Will not even try to find some to take me to work & then home again.  I am sure there is no one that has the time or will take the time.  I will just stay at home & hope I can get a ride in to pick my car up.  Living a life alone is quite challenging.  A quien le importa.  Nadie es.

    Kisse is here on me for some cuddles.  Ignored the others.  I can see Cinder.  No clue where Daisy is.

    Temper stayed in the 50s today.  Even the  house stayed a bit chilly.  I turned my room heater for a short time.  I feel ok.  Glad we are missing the severe weather heading to the east.  What a relief.  Bad forecast.

    No clue what to fix for supper.  No appetite.  Will find something.

Cool photo.

Cinder outside.

Kisse & Nico

Nico all cuddly.  Lordy I wish he was still here.

Kisse in my bedroom window.

Daisy when I got up from my nap today.  She was clueless.  She was all comfy.

Cool picture.

Nico, Kisse, Cinder.

Love this one.

Viking ship used in maybe a play or parade.

New business in LBK.  Looks cool.  Still working inside the get it ready but there are some things open.  In my family's building that was known as Train Brothers.  They sold furniture, repaired radios & horse drawn carriages.  Second floor was a funeral home.

My son's first wife.  I love her without all my heart. She was the best faults & all,  She died very young from cancer.
