Indigenous People Day

I refuse to celebrate Columbus Day.  The indigenous people were here first.  Then the Swedes.  Columbus was only lost & a truly bad person.

Today's Name Day:  Stellan

    I had an ok day.  Did not accomplish much.  Did get mail in & sorted.  That was it.  I did not take trash out today.  I do not have much.  But my back hurts.  Just did not feel like carrying the bags.  Just make my back worse.  Best to not too irritate it.  The joy of living alone.

    Great weather.  Got really cool last night,  Good sleep.  I left my heat as it was today but it got too stuffy this afternoon,  Ran the AC for a bit.  Have a freeze warning for wednesday morning.  Great.  Wish the weather would stay like this.

    Still have rain forecast but they have moved it to sunday & monday instead of friday & saturday.  Does not bode well for us.  Wanna bet they end up deleting it all together???  So sad.

    JR got 2 photos of my great niece in a volleyball match.  She did not play long so he only got 2 but her parents were so pleased.  She is not home so has not seen them yet.

    Ancestry.com has updated my DNA.  Fun.  I am mostly Swedish.  Second is English.  And I have 2 new areas.  Germanic Europe & Netherlands.  Cool.  I do not use Ancestry but I had to get a new password to sign in to see my updated info.  Always fun when one of my DNA tests updates.

    I worked on some genealogy.  There is one cousin with an unhappy life for many reasons,  But I had no info on her.  She had a husband & 2 sons.  One son was a pilot & died in a plane wreck.  His wife sued the air line.  No idea how that turned out.  She died in a car wreck.  Cannot find the name of her husband.  I will keep digging.  I do not think I ever met her.  She had health problems.  Only knew her parents.  They lived in Kentucky.  Both are gone now.

    Cinder stayed in today.  She heard me on the porch opening boxes & tossing them away.  When I came in both cats were near the front door,  I opened the door & they ran.  Cinder never came back to ask to go out.  Good.

    My eyes are better today.  Still some itchiness & pain.  But better.  What a relief.  If my body could just follow suit.  Hahaha.  )-;

    Photos are some spooky ones & several on what national day it is today.  There are several nice ones.  Yesterday I did not like any of them.  The spooky photos are free ones from Unsplash.  Great site.
