Today's Name Day:  Iris

Years ago I worked with a lady named Iris.  Only Iris I have known.

    Another quiet & alone day.  Had one email & one text.  Feeling ok.

    Weather was cooler today.  High was around 55F.  And some wind.  The rain they were forecasting continues to move further away from here.  Settling in Oklahoma more than Kansas.  The weather guys are just joyful for more 70s.  Too early for warm weather.  And now they are announcing how many days until spring gets here.  Missing my winter but no one cares.  Just me.

    Temperatures tonight will be below freezing so I will leave some water dripping.  Do not want even one day without water.

    I sat outside briefly.  A bit chilly.  No birds or cattle or deer.  Quiet outside.  Did not stay out long.

    KN was supposed to move boxes out of my yard today.  Maybe tomorrow.  Maybe too busy today.

    My great niece is selling donuts for their high school soft ball team.  I put my order in today.  I think I got donuts last year also.

    Photos are like usual.  Nothing special.

Caught him at the right time!

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.
