Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 193....

Had a busy day after a somewhat sleepless night. Slept late.

Had not done my taxes yet so I had to print out my figures. And I could not find it. Yikes!!! I finally found it. Printed it and added some changes.

After lunch I got dressed and went to my accountants. We did not recognize each other with masks on!! He will work on mine next week.

I decided since we have no chance of rain to wash the car. Looks nice. Then I picked up a sandwich and turnover from Arbys for supper.

I had texted my cousin ND2 and she was going to call me later. After my nap we had a long chat. I miss her. But with Covid who knows when I will see her. I am not brave enough to travel and certainly not brave enough to stay in any motel no matter how fancy. I trust no one.

JR called after supper.

I worked very hard to stay positive. Easier said than done.

Photos are all old one except for the  one of me in my new reader glasses.

      

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 189....

My day was good, but my mood was not. I almost cried in public this noon. Anxiety attack and my frickin' hip pain. Tonite I refused to move for Nico. He is angry at me and now sitting in Willie's chair.  I am batting at 100% in being rude to all. Surprised someone did not tell me off.

JR and I ate at Jalisco's. Love my shrimp. I hate when they serve fajitas. The smoke always has a bee line to me. Sold more than usual today. DV and JG bought our lunches because I give JG his hypos. So unnecessary but so appreciated.  And I am doing a favor for JS tomorrow. And did JR's laundry. Sooo nice to be appreciated. Makes me feel better. Nice to be needed. I usually feel useless.

Poor JR carried out 5 large bags of trash. Did not weigh much. Many flattened boxes. Glad it is all gone. Trash comes on tuesday.

A mix of photos. One sun photo from yesterday has birds flying in it. Never saw them when I took it. And we did not have that dessert today. An old photo. Mmmm.

    

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 185....

Been mostly housebound now for over 6 months. I think this will never change. At least not in my lifetime. I do go out eat 3 times a week. Plus an occasional tea out. At tea I keep my mask on. Can use a straw easily. At Jalisco's we sit near the kitchen and not near anyone. If people start wandering around, my mask goes on. I used to be much more active. Even just being alone and going places. That part of my life is only going to get worse. Makes me sad. It is what it is.

Happy Mexican Independence Day!

Saw my eye doctor this afternoon. All is good! Shield off as of friday and can wear makeup. Finally. Vision a bit blurry tonight after she examined my eye. Getting better. I never wear my glasses now. Feels strange. I keep trying to adjust them!

JR and I at supper at Jalisco's. We go whenever JS works. They were really busy for a while. I think his feet and DV feet never touched the floor! Got better later so we could chat a bit.

The fur kids! Like having a second family. Nico has no temper control today. Poor Kisse moves and he is jumping all over me and the sofa. Then this afternoon while he was falling asleep she  slowly walked over to him, licked all over his head and walked away. Odd. He was ok with it.

Photos are more flowers, some old and some from this afternoon. The  sunflowers are just gorgeous. Had a slow start so I will enjoy them as long as I can!

       

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 182....

Had a pretty nice day. Got pretty cool last night so good sleeping. A bit warmer today. Cooler towards the weekend again.

JR and I ate at Jaliso's. They were quite busy. That is good! Good food. Joking with the wait staff.

I left at 1pm to run home to take Nico outside. That used to be Willie's job. We both miss him. I drive by the cemetery whenever I go to town where he is. I am sure he moans when I drive by several times in one day. Sorry!!

Then back to town for coffee at the White Peacock with ND, DD, and their friend MM. They were extra busy! Great!! Had a nice visit. They are going to busy next week so we wanted to see each other while we could.

Back home for a short nap. But my right leg hurt more than I could stand. I cried. Why? Got up and it is ok. Waiting on a phone call now. Hope they forget. Not in the mood to go back to town now.

Sat outside with Nico twice. He likes it to a point. When he gets bored we come back in.

Had time last night and today to do some thinking. Had an epiphany about my life. It is what it is. Forget it and adjust. There will be no changes. And I am not forcing any changes. I fear rejection. Had tons of it already. Move on. Put on my big girl panties and deal with it.

Photos today are just sunflowers from my driveway. Tons of butterflies in them. They blend in. And one ugly spider.

         

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.
