Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 204....

Nice busy day. I slept well and thought my alarm was set correctly. Ha. I got up an hour late! But it was ok.

Cousins were in Wichita this weekend and stopped in Lindsborg for brunch on their way home to Denver. We met at the White Peacock. ND2 and I had Swedish pancakes. Very yummy. I have not made them for ages. Need to as they are my faves. We had a nice visit. I miss them and I need to get brave and go to Denver.

JR helped me after brunch. I was not able to go into Dollar General so he bought me a few groceries. And he kept the cold things in his house while I had therapy.

Therapy went well. But thinking of all the things I wanted and hoped for is painful. And all the bad things I have dealt with. I read a post about closing the door on the past and moving on. I try. Difficult. I need to make peace with the past and keep all of that and them in the past. It is hard to only have my therapist to talk to.

Took a short nap. Mind too busy.

Outside I heard a bird that Willie said was a rain crow. No idea what it really is, but I know the sound. It is supposed to forecast rain. I am sure he is confused!!

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 203....

I got my flu shot yesterday. The hospital had a drive through clinic. Super easy. No appointment needed. Hope they do it next year. But last night I had a reaction to it. No big deal. It has happened before. I felt super hot, achy. My arm is sore today. With Covid I got paranoid but my temp was 97. All is well today.

Nothing today. A usual monday. Nico was a mess last night and today. No idea why. Tonight he is into everything.

More itching today. Gets so old. But could be worse and it is only my problem so no biggie.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 202....

A great day!!! And very busy!

JR and I started the day with lunch at Jalisco's. JS was cooking in the kitchen something extra. So besides my shrimp dinner, I had a bowl of frijoles charro. It was heaven!!! I ordered him to serve this more often!!

While eating I got a text from JR2 about having coffee after lunch. I agreed but I had other things to do first. The hospital had a drive through flu shots. Great idea!! I was in and out within 15 minutes. Then I rushed home to take Nico out and feed him and Kisse.

JR2 and I met at the White Peacock. They were really busy so we went out in the courtyard. It was quiet and peaceful. Love it there. But the gnats were bad and it turned cool so we went inside and there was another friend GE. The three of us had a great visit. Need more time like that!

I bought a sandwich for supper. I got ham with mayo and lingon. Anything with lingon is good!!

I turned Acorn TV back on. I picked a new series on there. And it is in both English and Swedish. Called Wistling. Then I turned to Dead Still. All English.

Photos today are in the Peacock.

      

The Plague, Day 121.....e,

What a miserable day weatherwise. Early on there was a breeze but late afternoon and evening the breeze quit and the humidity soared!! Right now the temp is 84F and the humidity is 70%. Hard to breathe. And now we are in a flash flood watch. I had 1.5" last night. Not a big storm. Mostly rain.

Had therapy today. It went well. We talked about how I feel about myself inside. Things I never say out loud to anyone. Sometimes to the stars and now sometimes to Willie. He never knew because he never asked. I was taught as a child how to feel about myself and that got intensified when I got married. And now is reinforced by absent family and former friends. We will talk again next week. Recently someone said to me " I like seeing you". So nice to hear. But so rare.

JR and I planned on a soccer match on the 25th but I fear it will not happen. The ICUs in Wichita are almost at capacity. Not good. So much for my dream of boarding Nico, eating somewhere nice, and a fun match. Dang. Then on the TV they interviewed someone from the CDC who said this autumn and winter are going to be rough. Oh joy. Something to look forward to.

My back and hip have started hurting. Not a new problem but suddenly started again. I tried sleeping at the opposite end of the bed. THAT upset everyone! Nico and his baby jumped up and he sat and just stared, not knowing what to do. Kisse jumped and immediately back on the floor. Later I laid where I usually lay. I think I lay on my one side more than the other. Tried to not do that. Better today.

Rain is approaching, or so my phone says. It has been known to lie!!!

Photos are from today all taken in my driveway or yard.

    

Quarantine Day 111......Happy 4th of July

A very quiet day. Just not in a good mood. Really depressed. I had an invite to a relatives. My brother and I talked about eating out. Did nothing. I have tons of guilt feelings on top of depression.

My lawn got mowed today. It really was not looking too bad but with the rain that would not last. Looks good again. I owed him for last time and today. He mows for several places and people. A great guy!

Not quite as hot today but still hot. End of next week on one tv channel they said 106 end of next week and higher on the weekend. Wonder how expensive a ticket to Alaska is?

Photos are a mix of old and new. Some are edited. All are mine.
