The Plague, Day 157.....

Busy day! Nico kept waking me up this morning so I gave up and got up. I had lab scheduled so I went to the hospital. Then came home to finish sleeping.

Then back to the hospital to see my dr. My lab results were great. Only 2 were borderline and easy to fix. I told him about my hands and he ordered some medication. Every thing else stays the same.

I stopped in Dollar General for a few things. Not crowded. Everyone masked.

JS took time to text me a couple of times and even video chatted tonight. Fun talk and some serious talk.

Perfect weather today. Mild, soft breeze. No humidity. Why cannot it not stay like this?

My town got bad news today. We have our first known Covid case. He/she works in a local business. Hopefully it goes no further. And hope that person does not get very ill.

And yet I talked to a relative tonight who thinks some of the science about Covid is not right. How would he know? And he does not want anyone telling him to wear a mask. You should not have to be told. To protect others and yourself just wear a mask. To have to be forced is just plain stupid.

Still waiting for news of my uncle. I asked earlier. Someone elses turn to ask. We did hear but it was not a public message. I give up. And you wonder why I have never felt part of family. And never will.

Photos today I will just explain.  

These 2 photos are the beginning of a thunderstorm and the road in front of my house is dust flying high. I made it black and white which I like better.

Utah again.

Having a mojito in a very nice place in Vail Colorado.

In Vail Colorado with a bear!

Me! Hahaha!

The Plague, Day 156.....

Had a good day with nice weather. They kept saying it was going to start raining but never saw a drop. Still saying a chance tonight and tomorrow. Ha.

Saw my therapist today. It was a good meeting. Nothing too serious. Talked about my surgery and my having more activity and how if makes me feel better. She encourages me to go more. Just drive somewhere. But once the loss of motivation that sets in, I just do nothing. And doing so many things alone hurts. I miss having a group of gals to hang with. Years ago I did. I love going with my brother but I bet he gets tired of me and my moods! No wonder no one likes me.

I met ND and DD at the Blacksmith Shop for coffee. AND a chocolate chip cookie. I never go there. Its that fear of the unknown. But now that I have been there I can go back even alone. I now like both coffee shops in town. Hope they both never close. It was pretty quiet in there so nice to talk.

JR and I  had supper at Jalisco's. I usually try to go whenever JS works. He lets me know when works. I do not get to see him too often. I should ask if we could plan a meal or coffee sometime together. I want our friendship to grow not end.

Kisse has not eaten much for days. I wonder if her system got all wonky with Nico being gone. She begs for her food but then does not eat it. I know she had to be  eating dry food but I never saw it. I never offered her the moist food for several days. Today I gave her half a serving. And she ate it. And begged for more. And for some reason she is friendlier to me even if Nico is near.

In Utah near Moab and Canyonlands we stayed at the Red Cliffs Lodge. Google it. It was awesome. Huge room with kitchen and living room. A patio on the back of the room with a stream trickling by. And mountains to see. I really want to stay there again. It is so huge you call the office and the drive to pick you up!

Photos are a few more Utah photos and one of me on a boat ride on the Colorado River at Canyonland. I can still hear when it was dark and they turned the engines off. So spiritual. Too bad no church has ever made me feel like that. So I do not go. I always end up sitting alone if I go. Also photos from the Blacksmith Shop today.
