National Bloody Mary Day

No name day today 

I think I have this all organized so blogging will be

easier.   I think!  So far ok.

JR & I went to Salina to Big Cheese Pizza last night. My hernia acted up so not a good meal for me.  We knew of an ice cream place & tried to find it.  Found one place that was not ice cream.  Then found our place that was closed.  Settled for Arby's for a turnover & a cookie.  Then home.

I stayed up late watching CNN.  I enjoy Anderson Cooper.  Especially when he gets the giggles.  Fun when the year changed.  There was nothing here in Kansas.  Such a fun state we are.  HA!  We were switched to Austin Texas.   Boring.  Two ladies I had no idea who they were who just could not shut up. They almost talked through the year changing.  Went to bed on that low note.

Not the best night.  Cried more than once.  This is not a good week in any way.  Stayed up late playing with some photos for a project.  Not a pleasant project.  I want this week over in the worst way.  Hope I survive.  Feeling super alone.  And the next week has one unpleasant day.  That one is no biggie.

Cold last night & today.  But the sun is now out so I think it is warmer, but it is not.  It is  32F now.  Will stay normal temps & maybe snow on friday & monday.  I can dream.  Have not had a prayer answered yet this week.  Not that I ask for much.

Supper will be leftover pizza.  Will be good.  Have it figured out how to reheat or eat it cold.  But my Pepsi is gone.  Left with water or juice.

My nephew was here yesterday.  Said he could come get some of the huge mountain of boxes outside to burn.  That would be nice.  I need to sort them for my next trash day.

Photos are NYE again.  Last holiday photos.  Stick with winter photos.  Yesterday I took ton of photos in town  Nothing too exciting.

Just got my keyboard changed to Swedish.  Finally.  Feel more at home now.

Nico seems more relaxed than usual.  Nice for us both.  He has stayed snuggled pretty close.  What does he sense I wonder?

New Year's Eve

Todays Name Day Sylvester

    Slept good last night.  No nap today.  Nico was ok all night also.  Cinder snuggled with me most of the night.  I think she sensed I needed her.

    Got cold last night.  In the 20s.  Now is 31F.  But no wind.  I sat outside to chat with my nephew.  Had farm business & I had something for his kids.  Something I bought for me but decided I would never use it.  They will love it!

    Not up to writing much.  Having pizza with JR later.  My only celebration.  And today is the birthdays of 2 friends.  Wish they both were here!!!

    Photos are New Years ones.

                                

31 December, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Finally, this awful year is over.  One of my worst.  Won't list why, but just awful.  And sometimes hard to see who cares & who does not.

    Slept ok until around 5am.  Then my pain patch on my hip quit working.  OMG!!!  I could barely walk & turning was near impossible.

    JR & I had planned on pizza for supper.  Then I saw that the Happy Swede was open until midnight serving spaghetti & meatballs.  That is where we went.  Good decision.  The staff was very nice & took good care of us.  The food was really good.  I brought some home.  And we ended the meal with mint chocolate ice cream.  Perfect.

     Got home &  2 cats & 1 dog were hungry.  I had fed Cinder & then heard this awful meowing outside.  I yelled out the door & saw nothing.  But Cinder came in.  Did sit by me on the sofa & is now hidden.  At least she is safe.

    My word for last year was Kind.  I am keeping it

for this year & adding Hopeful.  I have not done a resolution in years.  My only resolution is to have no expectations from life or family or people.  Saves me a lot of grief & maybe I get some good surprises.

    I am happy to report that the Gälve Sweden Julbock did not burn down this year.  Very good.  Lindsborg had one two years in a row.  It burned both years.  Set fire by the same person.  Peach of a guy.  We have never tried again.

    Weather was warm again. And tomorrow.  Monday has rain moving in & maybe snow at night.  MAYBE.    

    Photos are NYE & winter.

            Happy New Year & may 2023 be much better for all of us!!!

                        

  

   

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 291....

 I do not have it in me to blogg. I have thought about the past NYE and sort of have thoughts but will put those in my private papers. No one wants to read my thoughts. Hopefully I can blogg next week.
