When I had a family I always decorated my Christmas tree on Dec. 13 and it stayed up until Jan. 13.  I miss those days.

    We had lovely weather today.  It was calm and the temp was 60F.  Not too cold last night.  I even slept good.  Did not feel good this afternoon so took a nice nap.  Details in a minute.

    The person close to me who was scared he had Covid is better and his second test was negative.  I am breathing easier.  The others I have had no information today.  Maybe later I will hear.

    Nico is always in my way.  He has no clue what it means to move.  This afternoon I had something in my hands and there was Nico in front of me.  And he did move but not in a good way.  I tripped on him and I fell down.  Both my knees always hurt so it is hard for me to get up.  I can but it is not pretty to see.  Then both knees were hurting.  I applied some pain cream and took a nap.  Feel ok now.  No more pain than usual.  I feel stupid.  And honestly I am scared of falling.  As my mom aged, she fell often.  I do not want to do that.  And as I am always here alone I make sure I always have my iPhone watch on so I can call for help.

    My friend from Morocco called to check on me.  He is a cool guy.  He is a Berber but no longer a nomad.  He lives in a city and his parents farm in an oasis.  Sounds heavenly.  Sometimes we video chat and he is out for coffee.  Fun to hear the Berber music.  And the mosque calling all that it is time for worship.  I have asked him lots of questions about his religion.  Interesting to learn about others and their life.

    Photos today are photos that I took of a snowy time a long time ago.  Repeat: I took all the photos.  They are mine.  Some on my farm, some in town.  We have snow forecast here friday and saturday,  I am not excited.  They are wrong far too often.
