Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 321....

 A surprise day! JS called me early. We went back to Wichita. I am used to doing this and enjoying myself. We must do this every so often!

Again with the help of OnStar we traveled around Wichita. I was changing lanes, had my signal on, no one to be seen. All of a sudden there is a fast moving car trying to pass. What an idiot. Sure scared us!

We ate at El Agave again, in a booth off away from others. I had a beef and cheese burrito. Quite good!

I was very tired today and so was JS. I wanted my sofa and he longed for his bed. Did I have a good nap or what! I sort of remember Nico barking and running but barely woke up. Probably my nephew driving through checking cattle. No rain today, only clouds. Some mist during the night. Will be warm midweek then rain or snow. And much colder.

I have a distant relative on my dad's side. I was friends with two of his sisters who have since died. I liked them. He started texting me. He was an alcoholic many years ago. He writes me and others daily. Always is loving and full of compliments. We most likely will never meet but he is important to me. He is not in great health but always 'positive attitude.

Tomorrow is groceries and more sleep.

Photos today are farm photos with Willie's dog Jo. Then photos from today.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 320....

 Got up way too early. Picked up JS and off we went to McPherson. Stopped at one dealer. He will call later. Another place had one car he liked. Time will tell. Smart to wait to find what you want and not rush in and make a bad decision.

Was rainy all day. I like rain and fog and snow. I rarely get a normal winter. Everyone is so excited for spring. Not me. I guess it is better that everyone is happy. Never seems fair to me.

Lunch was at Wendy's. Good but I was not too hungry. At home I tried to nap. But a small headache kept me awake.

Nico was sleeping but then he had to get into stuff up on a shelf. No amount of scolding stops him. He is upset because he thinks it is time for people food. He gets only a taste. And too early anyway.

Miss Kitty just made a horrible noise down the hall. I do not know what she gets into but I go to check, and all is well. It scared Nico and he dashed through the house ---- scattering the full dog food dish all over the floor. What a mess!!

Yesterday after I got home I realised I had lost a bracelet. A nice hand made one. I looked in the car and the yard and all over the house. Just now I spied it between my sofa cushions. Wow! I am so relieved.

I think my chauffeur days are over. Makes me sad. I had fun. We got to talk and laugh together. I am too used to sitting at home alone.

A friend sent to a place to sign up for the vaccine. And amazingly they asked for more than just my birthdate. They asked about my health, if I had anything on a list that was there. I actually feel hopeful for the first time. See what happens. Having serious health concerns that hurt my immune system should count for something. One would think.

Catching up on my soaps. I am way behind. Saturday Night Live is finally back on. Ready to laugh! Did have CNN on. Scares the hell out of me what happened. And we do not even have a clue of all there is. Why can things not just be good and happy?

Photos today are just a mix --- photos from today and others I just like. Nothing special.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 319....

 Had another busy day. JS and I visited numerous car dealers in Salina, KS. Saw some nice cars but not just what he wants. I am still enjoying being a chauffeur! Maybe I could have a new job! It has been great and just a nice break with someone I really like. And I notice that when I am with people I like and doing fun things or whatever, my RA is much better. I have had no pain or needed to use my pain killing lotion. Been a win-win situation at least for me.

We had lunch at the Olive Garden. I had my favorite soup- chicken and gnocchi . Love it.

Tonite JR and I ate at Jalisco's with our friend GE. Good meal. And good company for me. I am sure having fun and all the fun stuff will come to an end. Next week will be 4 walls and no one. Enjoy this while I can.

Picked up Nico this afternoon. He was excited to see me. When he saw home, he cried'. Be good snuggling tonight.

Sometimes I wonder about me. Why do I always hurt the ones I love? What is wrong with me? Explains why I mostly have acquaintances and not close friends or family. I never learn. And tears do not make it better.

Photos are from today plus old ones. Snow ones are current. All others old.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 318....

 What a day. I took JS to Wichita looking for a different car. His car has broken down. We went all over town. Fun! I enjoyed my day out. Would have been more fun if a car was found. Had 2 that almost made it.

We had lunch at Agave. I had shrimp in a cream sauce, rice, and fried potatoes. Very good.

I am really tired. Will sleep good tonite.

Nico is boarded at the vet's. I am sure he is heart broken. Home tomorrow.

Photos are from today. The little sports car is the car I want. Sure it is out of my budget.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 317....

 Slept good. So nice. Things in life are better so I feel better.

We had about about 2" of snow over night. Took a few photos today. Just love it. So beautiful. Roads good this afternoon.

Cancelled my eye appointment I had for today. Just not up to it. I have learned to do what I can do not what others expect.

Tomorrow Nico goes to "winter camp". I have too much to do. Only one day. He will survive.

With a better life, I have much less pain. After eating in town I am usually stiff when I get up to pay. No tonite. Walked pretty normal. Nice.

Ate supper at Jalisco's with JR. Good evening. MA was in Mexico last weekend. He saw a friend of mine who is back there seeing family. She invited me to visit her when she is back in the States.

Photos are from today.
