Today's Name Day:  Maria
Maria is a special name to me.  Had a good friend in junior high named Maria.  Sad she moved away.  And have a good friend now named Maria.  She is really special.  Love our friendship.

    Another sick day.  Sick & tired of being sick & tired.  But today it worked out for the best.
    I hurt so bad last night.  JR got me some Advil that helped a bit.  But today just hard to walk & be comfy.  Called in sick,  Walking those steps to the basement had me scared.  BUT.  After eating a normal lunch my stomach got so sick.  Seriously ill.  Better here at home rather than on the basement steps.  What a nightmare!!!  Thanking my angels for looking out for me.  Whew.
    The cats & I napped.  Cinder snuggled with me off & on.  Plus I remembered to feed the outside cat or cats.  It got all eaten.  Only put food out during the day.  Cannot afford to feed all the wild animals that come around at night.
    I had a great surprise around supper time.  CF called & we had a video chat.  So nice to see & hear him.  And I saw his dog Princess.  She is getting old.  When he got her we ate out in Marquette.  I have photos of me holding her!!  We sneaked her into a restaurant there.  She just slept.  Good girl.
    So many people are excited for February's end & are sure that it means that winter is now completely over.  HA.  We have icy roads forecast for tomorrow.  Stupid heat loving people.  They truly dislike winter loving people &  put us down.
    Just relaxing tonight.  Pain a bit less.  Maybe the weather is changing & has leveled out.  I hope.

    No special photo tonight.  Just a mix.
     




Cool.  Great to live there.




The school I went to grade school in.  A painting.  Long torn down.


The Kirby House in Abilene.  Fantastic food.  Burned down but never rebuilt & recipes never used again.  😔


Nico with his babies on the floor.  My heart hurts.


Aerial view of Lindsborg.









AI me.  Wish this was me tonight.  I rarely have a fun night out.

House Guards!!



Today's Name Day:  Lage

    Back to work today.  Finally!! And lunch first!!!  I thought today would never get here!!
    I slept good with me blood sugar doing good.  Grateful to have my glucose sensor back on.  What a relief!!
    Had a nice lunch.  Chose biscuits & gravy.  Splurged & had a double serving.  Just green tea to drink.  Trying to stop drinking sugary drinks.  Took photos in the White Peacock,  Fun place with a camera.  Needs to get warm enough to eat on the patio.
    Had to visit MM for a bit.  He was outside with Gracie.  She had to get in my car & curl up.  Wish i could have just spent the day with her.  And she curled up on my lap twice. I love her & MM both!!
    Work went good,  I finished the cute cookie cook book.  My neighbour had a recipe in there as a small child!!  Gotta run into him & remind him!!!  I know several of the kids..
    I had 2 photos of teachers that I was clueless who they were.  Got the answers so I identified the photos & the scans.  Good,.
    THEN.  I started on the tiny photos of students.  Most have no names..  I got the first pile done & relialized I scanned them wrong.  To bad.  Refuse to redo them all.  Will do the rest correctly,  These are photos no one will ever see again.  Photo of my hand and a tiny photo later.   Some are around 1 inch by 1 inch.
    Supper was at Jalisco's.  By this time I hurt so bad I could hardly move.  Miserable.  My friend JATR had my booth all picked out for me.  Bless his heart.  His job was cleaning tables so he had time to chat.  We talked in both English & Spanish.  We each learned a word or two.  He helped me to relax & laugh.  I thanked him & his novia (girlfriend)  Life savers.  I got fun photos of all & was sent a photo of a new calf we just had here at home.  More photos to share.
    Groceries next.  I splurged & bought some advil.  Not supposed to take but my pain is an emergency today. Cinder & I were almost out of our foods.  Kisse is here but Cinder is hiding.  Who knows where!
    I managed an extremely short nap. Exhausted.  And I forgot to turn the heat off this morning,  Cranked up the AC.  Feels much better now.
    Photos are a mix but will label the important ones.
 The White Peacock Photos.
