The Plague, Day 155.....

Had a good day! Saw my eye doctor. All is healed but a small area. I can leave the glasses off. And the best is I can wear makeup this weekend. At last!! And you can call me whatever names you want. I try to look nice all the time. And for me that includes makeup.

Then I had time for lunch. Went to Sonic for a burger and hot fudge sundae.

My groceries at Walmart were ready 30 minutes early. But. I bet I only got half of what I ordered. Dang. I will survive. Can go to Dollar General.

I feel sort of the weight of the world today. I fear through circumstances I could lose a friend. Or at least seeing this friend almost never. Sometimes I get so tired of being the one who loses what I love. Oh well.

Photos today are from my last bus trip. It was the best. We went to Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and home. Pictures are from Utah. I want to return more than I can say. It was awesome. Bryce Canyon was the best. And second best was Canyon Land. Had a boat ride on the Colorado River that was the most spiritual time I have ever had. Better than any church I have ever been in. And we road the Durango to Silverton train. The best ever.

The only downside was the person I traveled with decided to stab me in the back. She could have easily just talked to me face to face like an adult. I was devastated and cried a lot. Who knows what all she said and to who. And it ended our so called friendship. Bless her heart. I won't go on another trip. All those who go know each other and are friends. No need to go and sit alone the entire time.

Quarantine Day 53

We had rain overnight and much cooler temperatures. I about froze during the night. When I got up this morning, it was 64 in the house. No wonder I was shivering. I do not think we got much rain. Did not check. More coming tonight. Nothing severe.

Today was grocery day. They were only out of one thing I needed. Well, not needed. Wanted. No problem.

Drove through Arby's for supper. Beef sandwich and an apple turnover. Better than me cooking.

Ever since Cinco de Mayo I have felt different. More at peace. No idea why although that was a wonderful day. Almost normal. Hope it lasts.

Having severe withdrawal symptoms. I am all caught up with my Murdoch Mysteries. Awful. Now to find another one I like. No luck yet.

Only the pink flowers are my photos. The others I just like. We need some beauty in our lives.

Livin' the dream.

The fantasy continues.

Quarantine Day 52

I had my dr appointment with my RA dr in Wichita. Online. It went well. There was some hurry up and wait time but not very much. I got a phone call at 2pm from her office. I was told to sign on and she stayed on the phone until I could see myself. Then I had to wait. Soon a nurse came online and asked me all the questions I usually have to fill out. Then she signed off so I had to sign back on. Was not long until my dr was online. All went well. Having a bit more pain and a new pain in my upper arm. Could be my rotator cuff has problems but not being there hard to know. Will see her in 4 months.

Nice weather again. I have no need of AC or heat. Perfect. If it would only last. Tomorrow there might be rain. Might. I never trust them anymore. Rain seems to bypass my farm often.

I got a notice that there was movement on my door bell early this morning. So I checked the video. A bird was sitting on the unit. All I could see was his brown tail. Sort of long. Cool!!

Not all photos today are mine.

Quarantine Day 51

Since it was Cinco de Mayo I thought my brother and I should eat Mexican. Always good. Wish we could have eaten inside with the full staff. Hopefully next year.

I had my brother buy some groceries for himself and get me some lingonberries. I was down to only a tablespoon. That cannot be!! One local place mixes mayo and lingon for their ham sandwiches. To die for!!! Love it!

I stopped to see my bestie. He was working hard. We sat briefly for a chat. Then back to work.

I tried to take a nap but could not go to sleep. What was that about??? That never happens.

Tomorrow a dr appointment over the phone. Hope it goes well. The office calls early and asks all the usual things I fill out. Then the dr calls. Sounds easy.

Even though I am no longer a mother, I treated myself to a special mom's day gift. Some new perfume and makeup. I hope I get through the day in one piece and no tears. Hard to lose motherhood. But good to feel emotionally and physically safe.

Nice weather today. And tomorrow I think. Then cooler and rain. Hope these cool spells last all summer. Be perfect. One harvest it was the best weather. Cool with a slight breeze. As soon as harvest was over, hot as all get out!! And windy. Great year!!

Nice to feel more serene. It is a rare day. Wish I could have more. But with the isolation of 51 days and counting of quarantine, won't happen often.

Livin' the dream.

Quarantine Day 49

A fairly good day! For a change!

My brother and I had our usual sunday lunch at Jalisco's. Good food! Business seemed a little slow today. Maybe better when we were not there.

After eating I stopped to see my bestie at work. He is working today but not tomorrow. Nice to have a visit. I truly miss seeing him. He might even feel the same.

Went home and the remains of the barn was burning. Several trees had been removed too.

My niece and grand niece were there and we visited for a long time. A fun visit! My grand nephew was driving his own ATV and moving tree branches to a pile.

Took a short nap and leftovers for supper.

Forced myself to wash my hair. I had slept wrong there was a horrid bald spot that nothing could fix. I looked awful in town.

Maybe rain tomorrow. Maybe.
