Today's Name Day:  Fanny,  Franciska
My best friend had a sweet tiny dog name Franciska & we called her Franny.  I miss her & him.  Those were the best days for me.

    Had a quiet day.  Had planned on lunch with a friend but both of us were not feeling the best.  Will meet later.
    Far too warm today..  Our high was 78F.  I did sit outside for a while this afternoon.  I carried trash out & opened new mail.  Then KN drove through the yard checking on cattle.  We had a nice visit.   He will try to load boxes up for trash.  Too many there now.  I try not to complain.
    Nice to get some trash bags outside.  Forgot some in the back of the house. Another day.  Plus need to move boxes from the porch or inside the house.  If only I felt good with no pain.  And could walk ok.  I worried about carrying the. trash to the trash bins.  But I could throw them closer.  Nothing in them to rip the bags open.  I learned that the hard way.
    Weather has rain in the forecast.  On friday & saturday.  I do not care.  Home both days.  Others who celebrate with someone special can be upset.  No hearts or flowers or candy in my future.
    Photos are many with cats.  Just like them.

Today's Name Day:  Bert,  Berta

    Another bad day.  Had a reaction to one of my medications & was awake all night.  And a RA flare.  Frustrating.  Got a nice nap this afternoon.  Feel some better.
    Every one has been quiet today.  JL, JR, & JS. But JS is sick also & cannot talk.  I am worried about him.
    Too warm again today.  Saw 68F.  House is a bit too warm.  No strong winds though.  Good.  In the 70s tomorrow then cooling off a bit.
    Watched the Olympics last night.  Pretty awesome.  The one male skater did a back flip.  That was amazing.  He is in 2nd place & a Japanese skater is in 1st place.  He was sure excited.
    Have the pregame of the Super Bowl on.  Nothing I care about. Have some guy singing.  I do not know him.  He is ok.  Just ready for the game & Bad Bunny.
    JR & I had planned on eating out this noon.  I ruined that.  He planned ahead & bought his favorite meal for supper tonight.
    Heard nary a word from my cousins who supposedly had photos for me.  I sent them several texts but no answers.  Maybe their mom has taken a turn for the worse.  Who knows???
    Photos today are all snow.  I am rebelling against warm weather.  Summers are always ungodly long.  But we barely have winters anymore.

Today's Name Day:  Dick, Rikard
My uncle had a brother Dick.  I had a classmate name Dick.  Still friends.  Had a classmate Richard.  Several Dick or Richard guys with these names in town now.

    Not the best day.  Have a cough & sore throat.  Plus my RA is flaring.  I stayed home & rested.
    Friends are quiet today.  Nice conversation with CW.  Photo from CF.  Email from JL.  Texting with LL.
    Weather is weird.  Our high was 57F.  And will stay warm overnight.  Same for tomorrow.  Then a bit cooler.  Rain next weekend.  Will upset some people.  I have no love or hearts expected so I do not care.  Be sitting at home alone.
    I never saw a cousin yesterday with family photos.  They wrote after supper to see if one brother had shown up.  Ha.  He does not speak to me so no.  I explained I was working today until I got sick but they could still being stuff to my work or to JR's porch.  No answers.  Nice.  I assume they have decided I do not deserve any family stuff.  Like their father.
    The kids & I napped this afternoon.  I had a jammie day.  Cinder followed me to the sofa when I got up to snuggle.  Then she & Kisse had a fight.
    Not much else to write.  Missed the opening of the Olympics.  I tried to tape it not sure if it did.  Nope.  Did not.  And no SNL on tonight.  Olympics.  Better than reruns & local nonesense.
    I love the winter Olympics.  All of it!!  Summer Olympics not so much.
    Photos are lots of cats, snow,  & more.








Love this photo.  Sweet cats.
