Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 188....

Super quiet day. But I did get trash ready for JR to take out tomorrow. A bit more to do tonight.

I finally got photos of the sun in the California smoke. We have not seen the sun in a week. I will share a couple of photos here. Once in a while I can smell smoke. The smoke goes as far as Greenland and Iceland.

I do not think I can ever go back to regular TV channels. The shows they have on now are stupid. Only watch my soaps (I know!) and then better things on the Science Channel. Couple of other channels I like also. And there is NO politics there. A blessing. Tired of it all.

A mix of photos today.

      

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 179....

Rain has stopped. But still cloudy and cool. We were in the 50s today. Love it. The future weather is no 90s. At last.

Could not sleep last night. Neither could Kisse. No idea what her problem was but my mind was in overdrive. No good thoughts and many tears. Better today.

Very quiet day. I was supposed to give JG his shot tonight but begged off. DV called and will do on sunday night.

No Swedish group for me tomorrow. Too emotional. And it is just not right. Missed my historical society as it was surgery night. I was hoping they would decide to meet in a larger room. Who knows. If it stays where it is, I will only be there for board meetings. I will leave before the program. No need to be in a tight room and not all wearing masks. I am careful for all.

Photos are just flowers.

The Plague, Day 170....

Quiet day. For the moment I have figured out how to sleep at night. Combining a couple of meds and works pretty good.

Gotta love our weather forecasters. We were supposed to get 2-5 inches of rain from sunday through tuesday. We never got a drop and few clouds. Why get our hopes up? We are now 3 inches below normal. Today I heard them say rain in southern Kansas. Nope. Wichita then moved to the east. I would be happier if I just ignored. Chance this coming weekend that will create much whining of those who have family and friends with big plans. I do not care. No family and few friends. One morning maybe in the 50s. I can only dream.

This afternoon I helped AB, my friend from Morocco. I would love to visit there. Gorgeous! And to meet him would be so awesome.

Went to town tonight to give my friend JG his shot. I feel guilty when I hurt him. He is so skinny I am scared of hitting his arm bone.

Photos today are from Sweden. I took none of them. Will explain them.

Vanås 

Slott, family castle from my 16th great grandfather. I have been there twice to tour the garden and art. Cannot go in the castle.

On Marstrand. I always ate breakfast here. The ice cream cone painting is done by my friend Lars Bäckman.

Lots of flowers everywhere in Sweden. The Clown is an ad for G. B. Glass. The best ice cream I have ever had.

Majstang

Viking ship

Majstang

Maybe the bridge that goes from Malmö to Copenhagen.

Marstrand. Stayed there for several weeks. Has a fort on the top of the hill. I did not walk up the steep hill to see it. Marstrand is an island with no traffic. Heaven on earth.

Marstrand.

Typical Swedish dessert. Mums!

Turning Torso in Malmö. I stood by it but you are not allowed to go in unless you live there. It is amazing to see.

Old city.

Perfect.

Strawberries.

Swedish kids.

Long bridge at Bjärred. I have been there. There is a small cafe way out there and a sauna.

Älg --- moose. I never saw an adult one but 5 little ones.

The Plague, Day 169....

Pretty nice day. The weather was beyond awesome. Cool with a nice breeze. Nico and I sat outside for a long time.  

I had paperwork I had to get to my financial advisor. JR and I drove in around 11am. On the way there we saw the construction on the tower or steeple of the Stiefel Theatre. Will be awesome when finished. At the new hotel downtown I could not tell if Ya Ya's was open  yet. Will check on FB. Cannot wait to eat there. But I need to remind myself it is Salina and not Wichita.

My Wells Fargo advisor's office is no longer open due to Covid. They will be there is you have an app't. Today I just needed his assistant. So I knocked and she came to the door. Where oh where is a normal life.

I planned to buy some bread or rolls at a local bakery. Dang. Closed today. Will try again. Have an eye appointment on wednesday. I really wanted real bread and not processed bread.

We ate at Big Cheese Pizza. No dine in but it was perfect weather so we ate in the car. The best pizza anywhere!!!

On the way home I stopped by the welding shop to get JS's pay check. I put it in his bank account. I gave him money for my grounds keeper (mower) and he gave it to his father.  I was broke but I used my bank in Salina. JS is so trusting. He knows I am an out of control shopper but trusts me with his check. I always tease him I can go shopping now!!! ¡bromas!

Photos are all old photos I played with. Think I took most of them and edited all of them.
