October is Here!!!!

Today's Name Day: Ragna, Ragnar

    Super day!!!  I slept great.  It got nice & chilly!  Awesome.  The high today was mid 70s.  Perfect weather.  Only one day.  Sucks again tomorrow & beyond.  😔. But enjoyed it today.  Tonight I think it will be in the 40s but tomorrow is 80s & 90s by the weekend.  😱. Usch.

    Hair appointment today.  Cut, colored, styled.  And pampered.  Three of the other stylists who work there are trumpers so we always have to watch what we talk about anything.  And they all left for a while today so those of us left could speak freely.  A rare nice moment.  Does not happen often.  And my hair looks great!!!

    I had planned to fix pasta for supper but then talked myself out of it.  Maybe thursday.  I went to Arby's for a beef sandwich, apple turnover,  small Coke.  I am really not in the mood to drink sodas anymore.  With my ice machine I prefer icy cold water.  Healthier.

    I left the salon around 5pm.  Bad time to drive in Salina.  Super busy!!!  No bueno!!!  Glad to be home,

    Outside I saw a light colored cat with 2-3 kittens.  Interesting.  No Cinder yet. Will check again soon,

    Photos are a mix of autumn, Halloween, & Christmas.

                        

Awesome historic house in Abilene KS.  They do Halloween stuff in the house.

My favorite TV show Colbert with the leader of the band.

Family Day

    The photos in this collage were all taken today, except of course Nico.  The minute I got home Cinder came to lay on me purring & rubbing me with her paw.  Kisse was taken this morning when I woke up.  There are no words to say how much I miss Nico,  The pain never leaves me.

Today's Name Day: Rosa, Rosita

    Had a good & busy day.  Nice to be out & about.  Need to just go alone even if no one wants to go with me.  The open road is healing, whether early or late.

    I was up a bit early to do my hair & makeup.  And eat lunch early.  Cinder went out & back in before the heat hit.  Or stormy weather.

    Severe stormy weather west of Wichita & in Wichita all tonight around supper time here.  High winds with limbs falling down. Heavy rain & flooding.  Loss of electricity.  Traffic lights not working.  Calmer therev now.  Maybe severe storms here late tonight as storms move into Kansas from Colorado.

    I had a doctor's appointent in Hutchinson with my diabetic doctor.  After being gone for months he is finally back,  I prefer his PA.  She is super nice & acts like she cares.

     My one med is almost twice the cost than it was.  Up to $500 a month.  😱  That is awful.  They think it will go back down since this was probably the new year for my meds.  One would hope.  My PA , Sara, got paper work to get me cheaper meds.  Nice.  No other doctor has cared.  Or tried.  And starting me on a new drug to see if it helps my feet.  I feel better.  Nice when someone cares.  I know too many who do not care about me at all.  I get tired of being left out & ignored.  Especially just recently.  Not just left out & ignored, but nthen laughed at when actions hurt me.

    Driving to Hutch & back it rained every so often.  Not for long & not much.  The temp was at 99F or down to 88F in rain.  Really felt miserable out.

    The last time I was to that office it was really painful to walk from the car to the building to the office.  But using a cane is a life saver.  No pain at all.  Awesome.  Nice that life is a bit easier.

    On the way home I stopped in McPherson at Arby's to get something for supper.  Then I took a spin through the Lakeside Park & by the swimming pool.  Thank god I did not drive there a year ago.  I would have seen a large gathering of my family members that I did not know  were here for several days in McPherson & in Lindsborg.  What a shock.  If I had seen them I would have wrecked my car!!  I just recently found out they all gathered & did not include me. Or even tell me about their trip here.  Just made sure I saw photos from their time here.  And when I told them my feelings were hurt, I got laughed at.

    When I got home Cinder came to lay on my chest just for attention.  I think she missed me.  She is the best.

    I got the cutest photo of my nephew & great nephew.  I saved it, of course.  Nice that I am included sometimes.  Thanks to my daughter, she created some family difficulties there so I can not get included in holidays, etc.  I understand.  It is ok.  I manage to survive.

    Changing weather & I have increased pain.  Hurts to drive ---- sore hands & a sore leg.  I have adjusted in some way.  I rarely use pain cream anymore.  I have to really have bad pain.

    Photos are a mix again.  The magazine photos I edited in several ways.

                  

Only my editing

National Moscato Day

Today's Name Day: Reidar,  Reidun

    Had a very nice day.  What a surprise!!  Got up very early!!  I worried about getting sleep so I took an anxiety pill.  Worked perfectly.  Up by 8am & out the door at 915am to an eye appointment.

    Good appointment.  He usually dilates my eyes but did not today.  I am getting new lenses in my regular glasses & a new pair of glasses.  Nice lady helped me.  She has been there a long time so I know her.  Different lenses with something new & better.  The same with my coating I have on them.  Then an eye scan before going home.

    Stopped at Arby's for lunch,  Had my usual beef sandwich, apple turnover, & coke.  Great meal.  But I thought of Nico,  He always got some of my beef.  😓 

    Cinder was outside but came in for nap time.  And for the last half hour or so she came to lay on me.  Sharing a photo of us

    I do not watch any normal tv shows but I am watching the last few episodes of Sheldon.  I watced it until Covid was here & shut everything down.  Want to see how it ends.  The only other one I watch in Ghosts,  It is done for the season.

    Weather was ok.  Too warm but no wind. Always a plus.  Still saying rain this weekend but getting here earlier.  Have to pay attention at 10 when.  Especially since I work this weekend.  A meeting of string players meet on the one day,  I will enjoy that,  Something different.

    I try not to be political but just one word.  I hate war & it needs to stop.  

    Photos are all things I have taken & edited if necessary.  Fun to come home & see a turkey vulture sitting on my one light pole.  It is the leading vulture's roost.  Another was flying,  At night there is a tree where all the extra vultures roost all night.

                                

Just me.

My turkey vulture.  The boss of all.

National Hard Candy Day 

Today's Name Day is Isak

    Had a really good day.   Other than Nico keeping me up often during the night.   But no problem.   Whatever he wants.    

    I met Mikael for lunch at Jalisco's.   Good to spend time with him & chat.   I need to be with people more than staying home alone.   Jalisco's was super busy.   When I got there it was quiet & Miguel & I had a chance to visit a bit.   Later we could barely say hi!!!   That is good though.

     Came home & took a nap.   The minute my head hit the pillow I was out.   Nice nap.

    Picked JR up at 5 & we were off to Salina.   Had supper at Arby's.   Had my fave ---- beef sandwich & an apple turnover.   Perfect.   Then we drove around to look at Christmas lights.   They were all so pretty.   But my favorite house had not one light.   Did they sell their house?   Are they gone for the holidays?   Their house is HUGE.   Probably 3 stories.   Looked foreboding all dark.  There are a couple of places I like to go.   Hit them all.   I did not take one photo.  Too much traffic.   But I enjoyed seeing them all.   I need to just take some photos in Lindsborg.  This week sometime.

    Nico must not feel good tonight,   I fed him before eating my supper but he was not interested in a treat or anything when I got home.   Just water.   He is getting sicker.   Now he is napping.   What a worry.   My stress gets worse every day.   I don't want to lose my baby puppy.   We have been together for over 9 years.

    Photos today are mostly gnomes.   There is one I created tonight.

                            

25 april, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    The weather stayed much warmer last night.  But about the same today.  Mostly cloudy but not a drop of rain.  Love the weatherman on tv.  He was reporting how much rain places would get.  And he said that Salina would get no more.  No More???  We have not had a drop.  Where they really need rain has been getting good rain today.  Won't help much though.  It is reported that the drought will be here for a few years.  Cannot fix it overnight or in one rain.

    I put some butter in the microwave to soften & it got too soft.  I accidentally tipped the plate & spilled some on my nightgown & Nico's head!!  He is looking cool!!!

    Then I got bug stuff for Cinder.  It all went well until just the end & she moved.  Some got on her hair.  She does not smell good.  I feel so guilty.  And she refuses to go outside.  I thought she might roll in the grass but she is not going anywhere.  I am so guilty. 😞

    I was thinking far too much last night.  I am aware that most things I want will never happen, but it really upsets me when someone says that they can make it happen.  And even though I knew when they said it they might have meant it but no matter.  It would never happen.  I get tired of watching others get to do would things I love to do but really want to be with someone.  Just wish others would not offer if they do not mean it.  Something recently happened like that.  It was a super easy thing.  I really thought it would be fine.  Nah.  Not going to happen.  I am not reminding anyone of what they promised.  Just makes me sad.  I need to just go alone & to hell with being with anyone.

    Had an eye doctor's appointment today.  Did not see the doctor.  Just had an eye test.  This happens at least once a year.  Nothing difficult.  Just have to be there.

    I stopped at Arby's & got a beef sandwich, apple turnover, & drink for supper.  Very good.  I want fried chicken & also soup from Olive Garden too.  See how the week goes.

    Photos are old ones.  Mostly mine but not all.

                      

 

19 January, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Had a nice day.  Slept good with the fur kids near.  Cinder was in most of the night.  I like that.

    Got down in the 20s last night.  Today we saw the 40s.  Very cloudy this afternoon.  Tomorrow snow will start in the evening & through saturday.  We are forecast for up to 3 inches.  Hope only snow.  I have to go to town saturday.

    Today I finally got my hair done.  Went a little shorter.  I like it.  Always good to see HP.  He is always nice & funny.  I even made him laugh.  Cool moment.  He told me about a show he likes I will look up.  Sounds good.  Called Vienna Blood.

    I wanted to wash my car but it is closed for now.  Dang.  Will have to learn the one in Lindsborg.

    I stopped at Arby's for a sandwich & apple turnover for supper.  Very tasty.

    In the last year I have actually lost 20 pounds.  No one has noticed.  I even have a new outfit that was sort of obvious but no noticed the outfit or me.  I just don't run with people who notice much about me.  I miss those times when I did.

    Photos are a mix.  The church photo was taken many, many years ago.  Those bricks are still there but they are covered & the church is now white.
