National Filet Mignon DayM\

My favorite steak.  And this one is cooked to perfection.  Must be pink in the middle.  Now I am drooling.

Today's Name Day: Kaj

    I am in a much better mood today.  No one has insulted me today.  No friends lost a pet today.  Willie is on my mind but only in good thoughts,  And my anxiety pill really let me sleep.  And Cinder stayed close.  She seems to know & care.  I could not have done 2 bad days in a row.

    I could not decide whether to go to Hutchinson or not.  So I did & almost was too late.  Doctor's office closes at 5pm.  I got there at 430pm.  Great timing though!!  Lots of parking lots,  Need to plan to be there around 4 more often,

    My diabetic doctor had me apply for help paying my most expensive drugs.  One ran around $300 each month.  The other was $35 for maybe a month.  Depends the dose ordered.  They took into consideration how much my social security is each month,  Plus do I live with someone who could help me pay for meds if needed.  Nope.  I live alone.  I have no one in my life who could help me financially or can help me finanially,  I am totally alone in that way.  I give & most others just take.  Rarely does anyone give me anything for any reason.  So today was really a good day for me.  Big money saver.

    On the way home I stopped in Inman KS to see a new mural on a tall elevator.  I have seen photos but in person it takes your breath away.  I drove all over town taking photos.  Want to go back & eat there.  Couple of yummy looking places.  My photos today are from Inman..

    I then went to McPherson for supper.  I had a beef sandwich, apple turnover, & drink at Arbey's.  And I listened to some talk shows on my phone that go through my radio.  Driving I had Elvis on today.  The day of his death is near.  What a loss for many.

    Got home & put Cinder out,  I tricked her in before I left,

    Called my nephew KN for help with something.  I just hate to bother him or anyone.  He is so special & nice to me.

    Had a nice email from a friend that made me feel much better.  She is a blessing.

    We had a super thunderstorm last night.  It was awesome!! Loud thunder, lots of bright lightning, heavy rain.  I emptied my rain gauge the other day.  There were rains worth of water in it measuring 2 inches.  Last night we got 1 inch.  So in the last week I had 3 inches.  Very nice.

    Warm today,  Saw around  90F.  I was not out much.  No rain tonight.  Rain tomorrow. Then cooler again.  Over 100 tomorrow.

    Photos are all from Inman KS.  And my pets.

20 february, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    I had a great day!!  I was up early so I could reschedule my chiropractic app't.  Then I was getting ready for a road trip.  My boss & friend went to Yoder Kansas for lunch at the Carriage Crossing.  Yoder is an Amish community.  Many people only travel by horse drawn carriage.  The Carriage Crossing has the best food & the pies are to die for.  I had a hot beef sandwich but no pie.  )-:  I did buy some bread & a huge cinnamon roll for home.  

    After lunch we went to a farm to buy some hand made things for the Old Mill gift shop.  Cool things --- trivets, candles, & coasters.  We met in their garage.  There were 3 carriages in there.  So cool.

    On the way home we drove through the Dillon Nature Center, the Sand Hills State Park, & then Inman KS.  A good day.  Hope we can do this again.  Got to think of a cool place to go eat!

    Tonite JR & I ate at Jalisco's.  A quiet night there.  Good to see everyone.  I needed some groceries & so did JR so he got for both of us.  

    I needed to take trash out but I just cannot do it.  I hurt most of the weekend & tonight is no better.  It will keep until the next time.  I do what I can.  "I ran out of spoons today"

    Photos are from today.
