Halloween

Today's Name Day is Edit

    Another calm day.  Calm & cold.  Slept good & had a nice nap.  Nico was pretty good.  I am so thankful.  Cinder out most of the day.  Nico & I sat out for a while.

    I noticed that the cattle are home.  Or some of them are.  Took some photos.  Sharing next.

                        

    

    The sun was shining early today.  The pond was so pretty.  We sure need rain but none until next week sometime.  And maybe November will be wetter.  So they say.  I think they add that just to calm the people!!  Never happens.

    I am sick to death of tiny flies.  I think they come in under my back door.  I spray there but not sure it helps.  I spray while sitting on the sofa.  Grrrrr.

    Heard a lot from MM.  He is a groomsman in a 

wedding tonight.  The wedding is at the funeral home.  It is a Halloween wedding.  Everyone is in black.  Be lots of fun.  I have met the couple but not friends.  Would have been a fun time.  But I get no invites anymore.  Not with friends or with family.  Especially never with family.  I know why but it still hurts.

    Had a good tv dinner for supper.  Better than my usual sandwich.  I went to fix Nico's meal & I thought I was out of his food.  But I forgot it came yesterday.  Whew.

    Today is Halloween here.  I never celebrate.  No little kids for me near by.  Great grandsons are with a sitter.  Both parents at the wedding.  Years ago Willie's friends had little kids & they came here.  Years ago.  I loved when Mom was in the nursing home.  I would shop for something for her to wear --- wig, hat, robe etc.  And we would be there while the kids came around.  But now it means nothing to me.  Except for me to play with photos.  And they are my photos tonight.

 National Candy Corn Day

(love them)

Today's Name Day is Elsa

    A quiet & nice day.  Slept good last night & had a partial nap today.  I have just been friends with Nico, no trying to push anything.  I am done.  Should have never went on this far.  Called to make a vet app't but of course the vet is out of town, back a little on Thursday & gone on Friday.  Nice.  Ridiculous.

    It really got cold last night. I saw 21F.  Colder tonight! The high was 45f.  Very nice outside.  I left Nico out for a while while I carried trash to the bins.  And boxes.  Good to be done.  And Nico got some fresh air.  While he supervised my work!!!

    The sun was out this morning.  Nice to see the glittering waves on my pond.  So pretty.  Forgot my camera in the house.  Maybe tomorrow!

    I have been trying to learn new things on my phone.  And writing them down so I do not forget!!  I use my Remarkable 2 for everything!

    Photos today are from a page called Not All Who Wander Are Lost.  Great photos!  The snowy rocks are in Bryce Canyon, one of my fave places on this earth.

National Internet Day

Today's Name Day is Viola

    Not bad day today.  Slept good & had a good nap.  No drama today.  When I am not trying to hurt Nico or attack him life is good.  I am not trying to do those things but he thinks I am.  There has to be another way.  I will not give him away.  It would break both our hearts.

    We got no rain or snow.  Had a little sleet then a light shower yesterday.  Nothing overnight.  My brother thought he heard maybe icy overnight but I cannot it on any of my weather apps.  See what the 10pm news says.  I see nothing about any rain this week.  It got down to 29 last last night with a high of 36.

    I like this time of year.  Our prairie grasses have died or are dying & laying down.  I can now see my pond again.  In the morning the waves on the water sparkle in the sun.  Gorgeous.  Wish I could get a photo that shows that.  Must try again with my new camera.  As soon as we have a clear morning.

    Picked up JR for supper at Pizza Hut.  It was really quiet!  We were like it but there was takeout.  Where is everyone?  Too cold?  I ordered wrong but it was ok.  Next time just fries.  Best fries anywhere.  Yummy!!

    Cinder came in last night & stayed in all day.  When I came home she was ready to go out.  She was hyper & ran all over the place & then came back in.  Huh?  Ate a little & back out.  Probably back in later.  Cold again.

    Photos are seasonal ones.

National Immigrants Day

Honor National Immigrants Day with a celebration of the diversity and culture that immigrants bring to our communities. Join us in celebrating!

Today's Name Day is Simon

    Cold, quiet, mucho stress, tears. Feeling invisible.  And I moved things that Nico is attracted to.  One problem gone.

    Slept pretty good last night.  And it sure got cold.  I saw 28F.  Nice.  I have some Pepsi on the porch.  Nice & cold!!  Our high was 38F.  Perfect!

    I tried very hard last night to give Nico his insulin.  And to get his mask on.  After all that work all I got is bit & bled again.  I want an appointment with our vet.  Nico cannot be the only dog the world who for one reason or another cannot or will not take his insulin.  If she blows me off, I am looking for a new vet.  Tired of being ignored & invisible.  Like no one cares.

    I tried to take a nap.  Perfect day but did not happen.  For some reason a memory of a fun wedding celebration came to me.  All the fun & the friends.  I remembered a friend walking me to my car & bringing me a piece of cake to take with me.  And a super goodbye hug.  Then I lay there & cried.  And cried.  I get no invites anymore like that.  I miss the fun times.  They are no more.  And I miss the friends.  But do they miss me???  😥

    I got up & did some cleaning instead.  Nico stayed behind the baby gate.  He supervised.  Haha!

    I had supper planned but then I was too tired.  Same ole, same ole.  Just me so no one to care.

    Mid to late afternoon we had sleet or ice pellets.  I could see & hear them.  Then rain.  Maybe misting now.

    Tomorrow depends on the roads if they are icy or not.

    Once of my apps that I used daily is gone.  It is not offered in my country.  Why could it not stay if I had it?  Stupidity.  But I have created a way to do the same thing in my own way.  It is good.

    Photos today are from one of my favorite sites.  It is called Cozy on FB.

  Oh, to live like their photos!!

National Black Cat Day

Today's Name Day is Sabina

    Busy Day!!!  Slept so-so but up really early.  In the car by 930am.  Off to Salina to pick up meds for Nico.  I was driving on fumes so fuel first.  Got to the vet & this lady & her dog would not be quiet.  On & on!!!  I was in a hurry as I had to work.  But got what I needed & hurried back home.

    Managed makeup in good time, dressed, & ate lunch.  Ate too fast.  But no problems.

    Worked at the SVAFC today.  Probably be my last time until January.  I just do not want to work with a ton of stuff for sale & hordes of shoppers in to buy & me there alone.  Too stressful.  The artist who opens/closes for me feels the same.  He is refusing also.  Agree with each other.  I would be glad to be second person there but not alone.

    It was slow today.  I was glad my friend from New York came in to visit.  She leaves tomorrow.  Dang.  Need to call her more often.  I really miss her.  We had a good visit.  She went to get herself a cup of coffee & got a chocolate muffin, cut in two.  For both of us!!  How nice of her!!

    JR came in to see this show on one of its last days.  He took lots of photos.

     I finally played with my new iPhone 15 & took photos.  I am totally impressed!!!  I zoomed in to the max & the photos were flawless!!

    JR & I went to Salina for supper.  Chose Hong Kong Buffet so I would not overeat.  Ha!  Excellent food.

    I hate that the road I always travel on is closed for 2 months.  Drove home tonight in the dark on country roads.  I do not like that.  Probably will not do it again until the road is open.

    I left Nico in the back of the house ----- our "family crate!!"  I feel so guilty.  But he seems ok.  Quieter.  And he minds better.  So far so good.  Got his leather mask so will do insulin later.  He is curled next to me.

    What a job to feed Cinder, then Nico & finally Kisse.  And take care of me.

    Pretty cool today with strong winds.  Stayed in the 40s.  Rain tomorrow.  Then snow in Sunday.  Hope they are right.

    Photos are a mix.

National Pumpkin Day

Today's Name Day is Amanda

    What a day.  Wish it was all good.  I was in Salina at noon turning in both my old phone & watch so I got my money off.  The same worker took care of me.  Nice guy.  Be fun to be friends.  That does not happen often.  He was just nice.

    Then it was my first hair app't since July.   Way overdue.  Cut, color, & style.  Looking good!!  Got done in time to get home & fix my face for the evening.

    Picked JR up & then supper time.  Ate at Jalisco's.  Good to see everyone.  Missed last night but that was a good thing.  High school had a big thing on Main Street.  Would have been no parking.  Supper was good.  Love being there.

    Got home & Nico just cannot behave.  He gets in everything no matter what.  And refuses to listen.  My nerves are fried.  He was awful last night.  Middle of the night.   Then pretty soon he was fine & in bed with me.  I swear sometimes or most times I can do nothing right.

    Weather was ok.  But 20 degrees cooler tomorrow.  And much colder tomorrow night.  Chance of snow on Sunday.  Yay!!!

    Photos are some from today & some autumn ones.
