    Today was my last SoftWave treatment.  My hip no longer has pain.  Knee has some.  I can call anytime I want a treatment.  Most likely will for my knee.  Really like my chiropractor.  He has a great personality.  Will miss him. 

    Took a nice nap with Nico.  Cinder has been out all day.  Was in the 60s & she is soaking it all in.  Nico & I go out and they chase & play but she stays out.

    Last night I worked on Willie's aunt genealogy.  It was fun.  Learned some new things about them.  It is a fun addiction!! 

    Today would have been my mom's 102nd birthday.  Hard to imagine her that old!  Miss her & really could use her now but life is not like that.

    Right now I can see several little calves running & playing out my window.  They are sweet.

    Photos today are of Mom, me, 2 angels.  The photo of Mom with her straw in my martini is a fave of mine.  She loved it.  That was a great day!

    Compared to last week, today was the best day in a long time.  Of course, nothing beats last monday.  It was awesome!!  I slept good & warm weather with no storms.  There were storms last night but not here.  We got rain, some wind, but no tornados, no hail.

    I had my SoftWave treatment at my chiropractor's office.  Going well.  He is a very nice man.  I will be sad when we are done.

    Then I treated myself to a chocolate dip cone.  Too good for words.  That whole area of McPherson had all I needed without driving around.  Very nice.

    Went to my bank to make a deposit.  The lady who waited on me said I was eligible for a special checking account with lots of extras.  Why has no one else told me that??  Slackers.  Plus she is sending me checks to use.  Very nice lady.

    Next I got fuel for my car.  For a couple of weeks fuel prices in McPherson have been $3.04, but in Lindsborg they are $3.19.  Thank goodness I have a weekly appointment so I can get cheaper fuel.  That is a big savings.  Why???

    Back to my home town I picked up medication then went through the car wash.

    Two upsetting things are last night I found out some family thinks I am not a good person & never helped them.  I have tried but such is life.  And today I know that someone I would do anything for just does not have time for me.  I understand but it hurts.  No one seems to care what I might need.  A kind caring word would help.  Oh well.  I do know that at least that person cares.  I thought the first one did too.

    I had frozen waffles for supper.  They were awful.  Heated them too long.  Need to just not buy them anymore.  Should have had a tv dinner.  Live & learn.

    Photos are mostly from today & some from my FB memories.  The heart is a piece of art I own & love.

    Quiet day.  Slept good.  Nice.  Cinder in all night.  Warm day so she stayed out after I got home this afternoon.

    Today was my SoftWave treatment.  Down to only once a week.  See how that goes.  Better today.  Not as many painful places.  And between treatments I have much less pain.  A miracle.

    Fuel in McPherson is much cheaper than in Lindsborg.  Lindsborg is $3.19.  But McPherson is now $3.04.  That is a big savings.  And I filled my tank

    I got my weekly chocolate dip ice cream cone.  Just nice.  The owner of the Dairy Queen is friendly & nice.  Nice to be around someone who is a good guy.  And treats me nice.

    Then I drove around & took some photos.  First of the hospital.  I went to LPN school there.  But not in the old building.  I was in a different building.  Then the courthouse.  It is a gorgeous building --- inside & out.  Across the street is the Warren Building.  Many years ago it was a hotel.  I went to a classmate's birthday party there in the ballroom on the second floor.  Fancy affair.  Large group.  Live band.  I can still see my dress.  Finally at home with my welcoming group.  And ending with Nico's Baby who was on the sofa with me.  It is soooo old & no rips.

    In the Warren Building now is a great Mexican restaurant, Tres Amigos.  Need to go there again.  Also lots of offices.

    I am glad the 14th is almost over.  Then no more holidays that matter.  I should drive to get me a special meal for supper.  See how I feel.

    It was 63 today.  Rain comes later tonight.  Winter storm watch starting wednesday evening.  Be nice to get some snow but not holding my breath.

    When I slept, I slept good.  But before that I had strong eczema flare up.  Something new for me.  It was better this morning.

    Today was my SoftWave treatment day.  It is working.  No hip pain & little knee pain this week.

    I had been out of Pepsi for a couple of days.  After the chiropractor I stopped at Dairy Queen for a Pepsi & caffeine fix.  But the waiter knows my voice & heard what I usually order.  He had made me a small ice cream cone.  And he gave it to me free!!  He is so nice.  Would be fun to be friends with him.  Maybe?

    I stopped at my pharmacy to get my insulin.  Last time it cost me $125.  Today it was only $15.  About time someone has taken action against greedy big pharma!!

   Then I picked up JR to eat at Jalisco's.  It was pretty quiet.  Had not been there all week.  Good to be back & to be feeling better.

     Before we ate I saw my neighbor in town.  We had a great visit.  He is a good friend of JS also.

    While eating JS started texting me about my day.  I will video chat with him soon.

     All my photos are from today.  New plan.

    Had a quiet day with little sleep.  But feel ok.  I had an early chiropractor app't.  My pain has been under control this last weekend.  My SoftWave treatment went well.  Knee had fewer pain spots.  But my back made up for it.    

    After my appointment I went to Dairy Queen for lunch.  It is just down the street.  I could barely eat my meal.  Only barely half of fries & two thirds of my burger.  Dessert was better.  Felt sort of awful.

    I took my new shot  for weight loss yesterday.  Think it is working today.  No appetite.  At suppertime I wanted nothing to eat.  I did but could not eat all I had fixed.  Good?  Bad?  I was warned this would happen.

    I took a nice nap this afternoon.  I was really tired & fatigued.  I got a new med to help me sleep.  See if it works.  I work tomorrow but if I am as nauseated tomorrow I may cancel the entire day.  Work & Jalisco's.  What next???

    JS & SM video chatted live with me last night.  Great to see & hear them.  JS is a new man.  What a miracle getting away from stress will do.  He is really happy.  Makes me happy.  And seeing them makes me feel less alone.  JS texted me today & sent photos.

    Our low was 28F last night.  Better for sleep.  High today was cooler at 53F.  Rain starts wednesday evening & through thursday.  Maybe some snow mixed in.  Time will tell.

    Photos are a mix.  Nothing special.

    When I went to bed last night my hip immediately started hurting.  And continued all night & today.  I never did anything to it.  And nothing helped to ease it.

    I saw my chiropractor this afternoon.  I was worried how the SoftWave therapy would be while I am in pain.  But it was not too bad.  He did say I could be hurting from my treatments.  I thought of that also.  And maybe walk more even if in pain.

    Then I was back to Lindsborg to see JS & meet SM.  They are packed & ready to go tomorrow.

    SM & I chatted a lot.  Found several things in common.  I am glad for them.  And anxious to visit sometime.  SM told me the route to take.  Better than the big roads.  And prettier.

    I took lots of photos before leaving.  They are precious.

    I am home with all 3 fur kids.  So far they are behaving.  Sort of.  Nico is trying to push my buttons.  A spritz of water or two helps.

    It got cold last night.  I saw 10F.  Not as warm today as they thought.  The high was 43F.

    Photos of snow & a heart.
