23 December, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    I slept pretty good last night.  Not much pain.  Nico was sort of calm & slept.  Tried to get Cinder in but no way.  I have quit trying.  There is now another cat hanging out here.  He is an old male feral cat.    Not friendly to Cinder.  She is hanging out in the    shed & he goes under the house.  I feel guilty not    feeding him but I do not need a trouble maker here.  Bad enough I feed the black cat some times.  Maybe  when it is warmer he will move on.  Poor thing.      

    I saw -3F last night with strong winds.  Makes the wind chill at -20 to -40.  A little brisk.  Today was 17F.  But the wind made it feel worse.  On sunday we have a chance of a winter mix of weather and rain next friday & saturday.

    You can tell it is my blog time.  Nico is out of control.  Into everything, wanting out just for fun, trying to sit on my shoulders.  I almost got frost bite.  Too cold.  But this is 100x better than summer.  I am already dreading the heat & humidity.

    JR walked to Jaliscos.  Lucky him.  I had Swedish meatballs over noodles with lingonberries.  Really good.  But he had people.  I am always alone.  But I am more accepting & calmer about it.  But I was outside when the mail lady came.  We actually talked a bit.  My big people moment.

    I tried to nap but just rested.  And while my mind worked overtime, I shed no tears.  A photo of our last Christmas with Mom was in FB memories today.  Did not cry over that.  Three in that photo are no longer with us.  Willie, friend John, & Mom.  Would love to go back to that day in 2007.  Mom died the next Christmas Eve 2008.

    My first photo tonight is of my large bottle of my Hint water with cherry flavor.  I set it on the porch for 90 minutes.  Ice had formed all around the edges of the bottle.  Squeezed it & had ice in the bottle.  Great!

    The rest of the photos are Christmas.
