National Dog Day

Nico when he was a baby.  Just adorable.  My heart aches for him.

Today's Name Day: Östen

    Had a good day but busier than I planned.  Had lunch with RG.  Our last monday together.  He is going back to his home town on friday.  I will miss him.  He is a super guy.  Always makes me feel good about life,.  And makes me feel loved & ok.  Sort of rare feelings for me.

    I need to get my car tag renewed & I only have until the end of August.  So I called them to see if I can make an appointment.  I had no idea I could do that until recently.  I had planned to go on thursday but they had 4 open spots today.  And I thought "why not".  Whenever I have been there to get my tag renewed the line is always bad.  I walked in & it was the longest line I had ever seen!!  If I did not have an appointment I would have sat down & cried.  But I walked in to tell them I had an appointment like they instructed to do..  She asked my name & it was almost time for my appointment so they told me to sit down.  (All those stupid people standing line while I just walked in & got helped immediately.  We are a stupid people in this country.  So sad..)  I got my tag renewed & in 2 weeks I will get a new tag since our state changed what ours look like.  If I get stopped for not renewing mine I have a paper to show the policeman.  And I renewed my handicapped parking plaque.  Thank god!!!  I have missed it.  Got all my paperwork organised in my car afterwards.  Good to be done with it all.

    Got home & I had took a short nap.  Then supper.  Neither cat woke up when I left this morning so they were still sleeping.  Cinder stayed in while I napped.  Too hot outside.

    Supper was extra good.  I got soup today.  Soup was loaded baked potato with bacon & cheese.  Must buy again.  Really yummy.  Plus a croissant with chocolate.

    Horrid hot weather.  I saw 104F this afternoon.  Usch.  My AC could not keep up.   My living room was 77F.  Too warm.  It is finally back to normal.

    There is a line of storms west of me.  Looks hopeful but I know better.  Time will tell.  Still warm tomorrow.  & rain.  No rain on wednesday but then more rain on thursday & temps in the 80s.  I can dream.

    More pain today.  Hip & knee.  Walked better than I thought I would.  And my eczema is almost always itching me somewhere.  I keep an anti itch lotion near  when at home.  The worst is my left palm & my hair line on my neck.

    I try not to whine too much when I write here but very few people I am friends with read my blog.  Every once in a while I open it up to everyone.  But no one ever asks to be put on my list.  Fine for them.  I write for me mostly.  Blogged for many many years,  I do not have hundreds of readers but that is ok.  I am thrilled if I get 20 from all around the world.

    About time for my spanish lesson.  Last night was pretty easy.  Always nice.  There was a test I could do to skip to the next lesson.  I did not pass.  Harder than I expected.  And I was distracted also.

    Pictures are a mixed mess.
