Today's Name Day:  Teresia , Terese

I went to school with a Therese.  Know her & her sister still.  Sort of related to each other distantly.  Once had a friend Theresa.  Tried to be friends with her but guess I was not good enough.  And she is even a neighbour.  Never see her now.  Not in years.  I gave up.  She never even tried.

    Today started out ok.  Slept well but in severe pain.  Fed the kittens & Mom first.  Then a storm hit.  Heavy brief rain & maybe some hail.  Had 0.79" of rain.  They all rain for cover & not seen them since.  They still have food & water.

    After lunch I laid down for a short nap.  Some how in my sleep I twisted my bad knee.  Now I cannot put weight on it & hard to walk,  Cancelled Pizza Hut for tonight.  JR probably cares but doubt anyone else would care even if they would know.  No need to tell anyone.

    Has stayed cloudy & cool today.  Need to carry trash out but not today.  I hurt everywhere.  Hopefully tomorrow.

    Photos are a mix.  Many I have taken.  Nothing special.

My great grandsons this week.  Pretty rare that I get to see them.  More important for MM to see them.

Bryce Canyon,  I would give almost anything to get to go back,  But I have no more dreams of anything but living alone.  No friends or family to help me.  No one warned me getting older was hell.

Today's Name Day:  Glenn , Allan

Had a great friend for years name Glenn.  Grown apart now.  Miss him.  Had an uncle Glen.  Miss him & his wife & their son more than words can say.  A cousin's first husband was an Allan.  JR middle name is Allen.  Known several local men with Allan as a first name.  And one friend had Allen as his last name.

    Today was almost a good day.  Slept ok & got ready to go to work.  But dropped my glasses & stepped on them & one lense fell out.  JR thinks he can fix them.  Bring them with me to town on friday

    I decided since I would not be here to put food & water out for Miss Kitty.  Went to open the front door & there stood a kitten looking at me!!!  Cute.  That one ran under the house but there was another one hiding on the porch!  The Mom was there also.  Glad I checked them first.  Inside cats did not eat good so I just left it for today.

    Lunch was good & did not upset my stomach.  Good.

     I have been posting things in Spanish & MM must have read something I wrote.  He speaks fluent Spanish.  Got an early text saying he loved me.  Nice.  Well, include me then if you love me.

    Really missing my friend JS.  And he called me at work when he got off work.  He worries about me so he calls to check.  Made my one coworker smile.  He always ends our calls with "besos" which means "kiss".  Nice.

From our video call.

Old photo of us.

    Work was so-so.  Everyone went upstairs to discuss stuff.  Guess I was not supposed to hear or be part of it.  Used to being left out.

    My scanner does not work at all.  Scan one photo, reboot scanner, turn back on, scan another photo, & reboot again.  Only matters to me.  A nadie más le importa.

    At some point I had somehow clicked on something I did not want.  I would scan & it would save somewhere wrong.  I finally figured it out.  Ater I rebooted the PC & the scanner.  By then I was just fed up & decided to leave early.  Close to screaming & throwing stuff.  A nadie más le importa.

    Had a guy upstairs painting.  Known him for years.  Had a nice visit.  And he walked me to my car.  Never left my side.  Nice to feel cared for.

    I went to a friend's back yard to see his poppies blooming.  Too windy for good photos but I got a few.  I had some old photos of flowers also.  And took some at the Mill.  So lots of flowers today.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Fun to see my friends there.  I even treated myself to a tiny serving of ice cream.  Even AR came out of the kitchen to briefly chat.  Nice of him.

    I got into a group of people who like noir movies.  JR & I had fun remembering some great movies.  I have several on my list to watch again.

    When I was a toddler Mom & Dad would to the driven in movies in McPherson.  If the movie was Ma & Pa Kettle I could stay awake to watch.  One time they had me lay down & the movie was called Laura.  I was cluseless about it but the music was haunting.  I watched it as an adult but need to see it again.  Been a long time.

Movie was Boris Karloff's last.  He was very ill.  Early movie for  Jack Nicholson.

    Stayed cloudy most of the day.  There was early rain that of course missed us.  Chance again tomorrow.  HA.
