08 june, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    I slept good last night.  It was nice.  Cinder curled up by me.  So did Nico.  Both were calm so I could sleep. 

    This afternoon I had my hair cut & styled.  Looks good again!  Fun to chat with HP.  A good afternoon.

    I took a short rest.  But Nico kept bothering me.  And for no good reason.

    I just had him out.  What a miserable weather day.  It was 98F then.  Felt really bad.  And made me feel sick.  I do not tolerate heat &/or humidity well.  And I get made fun of for liking cool weather.  And Nico wanted to lay in the sun.  Awful!

    I did not dare to check my mail before my hair app't.  I could hardly wait to get home.  My charger for my laptop was there.  It works perfectly.  So nice to be able to key normally.  My ipad is just not good.  Hate the onscreen keyboard.

    Photos today are mostly from Coronado Heights.  I took all the photos.

    Today was an uneventful day.  Just quiet.  I like that.  It was hot again.  Temps were 73F & 101F.  Thursday is cool.  Finally.  Wednesday much cooler than today.

    Most of the day I spent watching the Queen's funeral.  I taped it early this morning.  I found a comfy position to sit & then watched it all.  Very touching.  A once in a lifetime occasion.  And I have read a lot about the family.

    I have not eaten very much since I was sick the other night.  Did not eat enough for lunch!  Low blood sugar.  Not too bad.  It happens.  After all these years,  I don't even bat an eye.

    I thought my turkey vultures were gone but I was wrong.  Saw one the other evening.  Field sparrows are gone, at least from my pasture.  Fewer grasshoppers & many are dying.  Great!

    I always look at my memories that I get on FB.  Wish I had not today.  I had upset someone close a year ago.  I never meant to upset anyone.  I merely offered to help a friend but OMG it was taken wrong.  Maybe that explains why I never get asked to spend time with him.  Really upset me to read the letter I got.  Almost cried.  Hopefully he has forgotten too.  Or maybe it explains a lot of things.  Still learning to be quiet & say little.  No joking period.

    Kisse was missing all afternoon.  No idea where she was napping at.  She is an odd cat.  Nico is always close.  And when he naps, he must touch me at all times.  Nice there is someone or something who likes to be near me.

    Photos are ones from my memories.  Still living to my own rules.  The best for all.

    What a storm we had!!!  Severe weather was forecast here last evening.  I put Nico on his leash & we sat outside waiting to run to our tornado shelter.  But nothing happened so we went back inside.  Someone even wrote me & said they thought I was in the clear.  But no.

    Soon heavy rain & high winds started.  Suddenly something hit my front door very hard.  The door moved inwards about 3 inches & so did the wall.  I wondered if a tree hit us.  But it was the wind that caught my outside door & blew it all the way open & hit the wall.  I did manage to get it shut again.

    We lost electricity around 10pm.  Went to bed in the dark.  My first thought was of the brave linemen having to brave the storm.  I prayed they would be safe.  Around 1040pm our lights came back on.  So surprised!!!

    This morning when I went to Jalisco's I could see how deep my driveway had been under water.  Takes a lot of water to get the pond to overflow its banks, a lot.  My rain gauge said 4.25 inches of rain.  Had to be that much as deep as my drive had been.  It washed out the north edge again.  A never ending job.

    Lunch with JR.  I could not eat much after being so sick at supper last night.  I took half home.  The ice cream made my stomach feel much better.  I was so scared of getting ill in public.

    JR came home to clean up my yard.  Both trash bins tipped over & trash every where, thanks to the wind & wildlife.  But when we got to my house the bins were upright & all the trash picked up.  😊  Big surprise.  JR picked up other trash from around the house & yard.  And I brought out 3 other boxes from inside the house.

    After JR went home I called my nephew, KN.  He & his little son, CN, cleaned my yard up.  They are the best!!!

    I have made a decision to take care of my chronic diseases in my way.  Voy a hacerlo a mi manera.  I am no longer trying to explain anything.  Will just do what I need to do to survive.  I mostly am on my own with my health.  No need to for anyone to know what I do & try to explain & get sort of put down for doing it all wrong.  Voy a hacerlo a mi manera.

    If I can find a comfy way to sit or lay I will.  Then I can choose what ever activity I want.  No one needs to know what activity.

    Photos are some that are cute & some flowers, etc.

    An ok day.  Slept good for a change.  Always good when something good happens.

    Saw my eye dr.  He says my eyes look better.  I wish looking out from them looked better.  Today my left eye was totally blurry.  Right eye was ok.  Sometimes both eyes are blurry or both are good.  They are better when the humidity is higher.  He said what I really need is to move to the Bahamas!!  I am game!  What a dream that would be.

                    

    When I got home I did not feel well.  Very odd.  I was all sweaty & my temp was 96.  Ok now.  Strange. 

     

    Nico & I had a great supper!  I brought home an Arby's sandwich, fries, & an apple turnover.  Nico mostly got meat.  Nice to have something other than what I usually have.

     

                 

    I saw 106F in my car again.  A cold front is moving in.  There is rain north & west of us.  Doubt we get anything.  Sure need some rain for our fall crops.  Willie & I never had fall crops.

    Photos are from my fave church in Lost Springs Kansas.  I heard that someone is working on it.  I hope so.  Lost Springs has an interesting history.  I read & found some great old photos.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Springs,_Kansas

    The cemetery is at the Hebron Lutheran Church that is on the way to Burdick KS.  A group of us took a road trip to Burdick & this church's ladies group fed us lunch.  One of the best I have had!!  In the cemetery I found all these graves with the last name of Train.  I am related to many Train people.  But I had never heard of these people.  But not long after on my genealogy app there was someone I could be related to.  And I was!  Plus his wife had added a lot of his ancestors.  And there were my new Trains.  I knew he & I were related.  The Trains are now in my ancestors.  Very cool!!!

    Worked again at the SVAFC gallery.  I love being there but today was special.  Not one guest came in.  Nada.  The longest 4 hours I have spent in a long time!  But I did 4 spanish lessons & passed to the next level & did one of those lessons.  Did pass the time.  I did write some about things.  Good to be able to express myself with out anyone hearing me.  No one really wants to hear how I feel or anything.  I have a file on my Remarkable 2 where I can bitch or cry or whatever.  And I leave any person out of the equation.

    Yesterday I did a little drawing but not today.

    Normal Kansas weather today.  I saw 106F in the car & I am sure someone or two will argue with me.  Will say no more.

    When I got home my nephew was here, KN.  He walked to the car & we had a great talk.  Just nice to see someone & talk.  He is coming back this week to cut down some tall weeds.  I am making some homemade weed killer.  I meant to do this earlier.  But it all depends on how I feel.

    I cannot explain how miserable it is to always feel bad.  And I won't try.  Hate to bore anyone.

    Got too much on my mind.  Tired of thinking & tired of knowing I have done something wrong & hurt someone.  I am just the best person.  😞  And sorry does not cut it.  Hurt myself.

    I saw a quail fly up into a tree the other day.  That was cool.  I miss seeing them.

    There was a dead fox on the blacktop.  How sad.  Such a pretty animal.

    Photos are still in Colorado.  I cannot remember the river we followed.  People still come out & pan for gold.  One is a very successful business man.  Out every weekend.  Oh, I wish I was there.

    Much better day today.  Less pain.  Still trouble sleeping but I took the strongest med I have.  Tried not to take it too close to morning, but it still left me a bit woozy around noon.  Heard my sofa calling my name!!

    Another scorcher today.  I saw 103F this afternoon.  Last night our coolest temp was 80F.  Tomorrow is to be cooler.  Yay!!  High in the 80s.  Will get a sweater out to wear!!!  😀

    There are showers to the west of us now.  Will we get a shower?  Probably not.  We miss out often.

    JR & I had lunch at Jalisco's.  They got quite busy.  I saw one couple I knew but they never saw me.  Or whatever.  We never spoke.

    Nico is mellow again today.  Nice.  Hope it lasts!

    I had "lost" an app on my laptop.  Found it last night.  Great!!  Downloaded a couple of new apps & had fun last night playing.

    The first 3 photos are of The Scheme.  A very cool restaurant in Salina.  The photo with a variety of paintings are the work of a close artist friend of mine.  He is here now so I need to call him & make plans.
