Today's Name Day:  Tyko

Long ago ancestor with this first name.  Last name was Brahe.

    Today was an awful day.  I have had severe pain for days.  My left knee got much worse.  Difficult to walk.  Blood sugar was out of control also.  I called in to work that I was staying home.  I had bad guilt feelings & always think no one believes me.  "Her again?"

    I shared with someone who usually cares how bad I felt.  I got nada.  Only his complaints.  I tried to be caring.  I was surprised that someone I really do not know actually wrote to me & asked how I was.  Nice to be heard.  A surprise.

    Cancelled supper tonight.  Too much pain.  Just gave up.  Figured that no one would care anyway.

    Hated not to eat at Jalisco's.  Their 18th anniversary.  Probably crowed.  Probably did not miss me.

    I tried to nap but I felt like I was having a heart attack.  I was not.  My blood sugar was dropping to super low.  Had an odd feeling.  I ate some food & felt better.  But low again before supper.  Sheesh.

    I have a photo of my kittens with some info about them.  Will leave it there.  Their mom was back this noon.

    Trash got picked up & my trash bins were set back by the tree they were near.  I double checked.  The trash guys did that.  What a shock!!!  Very nice.

    Cool weather today.  Love it.

    Photos are mostly flowers.  Mine.

First photos of Nico!!

Best friend I ever had.  Before cellphones.  He lived in California & England & Kansas City.  Finally in Wichita before he got into drugs that killed him.  Name is Pete.

Pete & his dogs at home in Great Bend.  The dogs loved me.  They knew when Aunt Julie was coming then they got people food!!!  God knows I loved them & miss them.

My senior in high school photo.

Today's Name Day:  Fanny,  Franciska

My best friend had a sweet tiny dog name Franciska & we called her Franny.  I miss her & him.  Those were the best days for me.

    Had a quiet day.  Had planned on lunch with a friend but both of us were not feeling the best.  Will meet later.

    Far too warm today..  Our high was 78F.  I did sit outside for a while this afternoon.  I carried trash out & opened new mail.  Then KN drove through the yard checking on cattle.  We had a nice visit.   He will try to load boxes up for trash.  Too many there now.  I try not to complain.

    Nice to get some trash bags outside.  Forgot some in the back of the house. Another day.  Plus need to move boxes from the porch or inside the house.  If only I felt good with no pain.  And could walk ok.  I worried about carrying the. trash to the trash bins.  But I could throw them closer.  Nothing in them to rip the bags open.  I learned that the hard way.

    Weather has rain in the forecast.  On friday & saturday.  I do not care.  Home both days.  Others who celebrate with someone special can be upset.  No hearts or flowers or candy in my future.

    Photos are many with cats.  Just like them.

                                                    

            

    

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 244......

 Today will be a short blog. Had a horrible night and day. RA has reared its ugly head. A flare? Weather? Does not matter. No one wants to hear about it. Instead of just my hips, I hurt everywhere. Awake ALL night. Good thing I am always isolated and not near anyone. I would lose the few friends I have.

Warmer last nite and today. But gale force winds. Sooo tired of that. Less wind tomorrow.

College played mens soccer today and they won!!! Good going!

Today was my best friend's birthday. I miss him more than I can say. He died a few years ago. I can barely think of it.

Photos are a mix.
