Today's Name Day:  Hjördis

    Good day sort of.  Last night was awful & left me feeling bad today.

    Changed my glucose sensor.  And it would not work & kept sending me errors messages.  Finally removed it & added a new one,  The last one I had.  It started out not reading my glucose right.  Dang.  I believed it & ate extra thinking I was low.  I was actually quite high.  I tried to ignore it over night but it kept waking me up.  Finally got better & more accurate.  I stick my finger often to double check,  They are pretty close today.  I managed some sleep this morning & after lunch.

    I had a 4pm apppointment with Henry for a hair cut.  First since november.  He cut enough off I think I am 10 pounds thinner!!!  I showed him the hair style I wanted & he did it.  And sort of explained how to redo it or whatever.  I like it!!!  Much better!!!

    I stopped to pick up Arbys for supper.  It was too much but good.  Cinder wanted me to share.  She does not need people food.  Her treat is a thin slice of ham.  That is enough.  Kisse does not like people food.

    Leaving the house to go to Salina I saw a cat in the cattle pen.  Seen it before.  Gray.  Probably a cousin to Kisse.  Today there has been thousands of black birds in the pasture on the ground or in trees.  Loud!! I took photos but they are not good ones but gives you an idea how many there were.  Cattle were here when I left also.

    It was cold last night but warm today.  Chance of rain/snow tonight.  They have moved it to include my farm.  Amazing.  Not going to be freezing so no ice or much snow.

    A mix of photos ---- snow, birds, etc.

Cool!!!

Artist Eric Abraham.  I loved him & his art.  Lucky to have him as a friend.  He died a few years ago.  Sure miss him.

Eric Abraham art.  Awesome.  Ceramics.

Two of my three bulls.

Miss my family,  No cats then.

Far too early for spring.  I am glad.  And a little hopeful.

Today's Name Day:  Disa, Hjördis

A friend in Australia has a daughter named Disa.  Never met her.  Only person I know of with that name.

    Not a bad day.  Cold night but a warmish day.;  I saw 46F.  Stayed cloudy all day.  I like that.  Makes driving easier for me.

    Saw my eye dr for a simple test only.  No big deal.  Not my favorite test but it went well.

    I am able to get my mail out of my mailbox..  And no chance of getting stuck.  Snow melted away.

    Weather man just announced there is rain/snow in our forecast.  I was anxious to hear when but what a disappointment.  Small area of snow or rain.  And maybe fog later.  Big deal.  Sure it will miss my farm.  Appears to stay west of me.

    After watching the national news I am going to have to write privately so I do not whine in my blog.  When oh when are the adults going to take control??

    My cousin in Kentucky is improving.  Good news.  Off the ventilator & can talk & move.  Nice to have good news in my life.

    Had a nice email from JL.  Photos from MM.  Another person who usually ends a photo sent one that was disgusting.  I have chosen to ignore.  What was he thinking.  Like an insult.

    Finally get a haircut tomorrow.  Has been at least 2 months since my last one.  Have to share a real photo of me tomorrow!!!  Will be a lot shorter!!

    Photos are like usual.  Started this blog with two drawings about whether we would get more winter.  We will.  I am glad.  Far too early for spring.  Although dozens of people are counting the days until spring.  I am not one of them.  Dread the hot, humid, buggy summer weather.

Today's Name Day:  Max,  Maximilian

Had an Uncle Max in Denver.  He was the best!  He always made sure he took me up in the mountains.  And I went bowling with him & my aunts there.  The last time I saw him was in his nursing home.  I was not sure it was him until he asked me if I wanted to go bowling one more time.  I cry every time I remember that.

    Had an ok day.  Slept good & managed a very short nap.  Was cold overnight but warm today.  My water has not dripped today.  Cool.  I am sure I owe them a boatload of money so far.

    Had an email from JL.  Love hearing from her.  Everyone else was quiet.  

    Tonight had a long text with a classmate.  Rarely hear from him.  We have lost a classmate so I hear from people from my past.  Classmate was a special guy from our class.  Wish he & I had been closer friends.

    JR & I ate at Pizza Hut.  I actually had a pasta dish & ate most of it.  No dessert.  Ate too much.  I have desserts here at home.

    Got home in time to see the Grammys.  Bad Bunny is there but cannot perform at all because he doing the Super Bowl.  But he just won & gave an awesome speech.  Agreed with all he said.  Award was given to him by my fave SNL member, Marcello Hernandez.  Bad Bunny was interviewed before his award.  He has arranged for people in his country to get  places to stay, to eat, etc. that all can afford.  And he is donating lots of money to Puerto Rico.  Good guy.

    Photos are a mix.
