The Plague, Day 161.....

It was an OK day. JR and I went to Jalisco's. JS was out of town so MA worked. Splurged and had ice cream for dessert. Then we went to a friend's house to get some bricks for me and our cousin ND2.

Three couples came in to Jalisco's with no masks. We have at least 1 case of Covid in town and maybe more. And no masks. SMH. And then they get sick and want our sympathy and money. Not from me.

The hot weather has returned. I saw 98F. Humidity was ok today but will get higher. 

Photos are the first 3 are from Utah. Then photos from today. The yellow flowers are Wax Goldenweed. This year I have no sunflowers. There are a very few plants in my drive that may bloom. Odd. I miss them. Pink ones are Ladys Thumb. And then of course is Brown Eyed Susan. 

The soccer photos is from a few years ago when 2 good friends played for Bethany College. What awesome days. Very cool for me. The team captain would walk over to greet me and sometimes give me a hug. The other friend would greet me after the match and sometimes give me a hug. ME?? Of all people!!

    

The Plague, Day 156.....

Had a good day with nice weather. They kept saying it was going to start raining but never saw a drop. Still saying a chance tonight and tomorrow. Ha.

Saw my therapist today. It was a good meeting. Nothing too serious. Talked about my surgery and my having more activity and how if makes me feel better. She encourages me to go more. Just drive somewhere. But once the loss of motivation that sets in, I just do nothing. And doing so many things alone hurts. I miss having a group of gals to hang with. Years ago I did. I love going with my brother but I bet he gets tired of me and my moods! No wonder no one likes me.

I met ND and DD at the Blacksmith Shop for coffee. AND a chocolate chip cookie. I never go there. Its that fear of the unknown. But now that I have been there I can go back even alone. I now like both coffee shops in town. Hope they both never close. It was pretty quiet in there so nice to talk.

JR and I  had supper at Jalisco's. I usually try to go whenever JS works. He lets me know when works. I do not get to see him too often. I should ask if we could plan a meal or coffee sometime together. I want our friendship to grow not end.

Kisse has not eaten much for days. I wonder if her system got all wonky with Nico being gone. She begs for her food but then does not eat it. I know she had to be  eating dry food but I never saw it. I never offered her the moist food for several days. Today I gave her half a serving. And she ate it. And begged for more. And for some reason she is friendlier to me even if Nico is near.

In Utah near Moab and Canyonlands we stayed at the Red Cliffs Lodge. Google it. It was awesome. Huge room with kitchen and living room. A patio on the back of the room with a stream trickling by. And mountains to see. I really want to stay there again. It is so huge you call the office and the drive to pick you up!

Photos are a few more Utah photos and one of me on a boat ride on the Colorado River at Canyonland. I can still hear when it was dark and they turned the engines off. So spiritual. Too bad no church has ever made me feel like that. So I do not go. I always end up sitting alone if I go. Also photos from the Blacksmith Shop today.

     

The Plague, Day 155.....

Had a good day! Saw my eye doctor. All is healed but a small area. I can leave the glasses off. And the best is I can wear makeup this weekend. At last!! And  you can call me whatever names you want. I try to look nice all the time. And for me that includes makeup.

Then I had time for lunch. Went to Sonic for a burger and hot fudge sundae.

My groceries at Walmart were ready 30 minutes early. But. I bet I only got half of what I ordered. Dang. I will survive. Can go to Dollar General.

I feel sort of the weight of the world today. I fear through circumstances I could lose a friend. Or at least seeing this friend almost never. Sometimes I get so tired of being the one who loses what I love. Oh well.

Photos today are from my last bus trip. It was the best. We went to Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and home. Pictures are from Utah. I want to return more than I can say. It was awesome. Bryce Canyon was the best. And second best was Canyon Land. Had a boat ride on the Colorado River that was the most spiritual time I have ever had. Better than any church I have ever been in. And we road the Durango to Silverton train. The best ever. 

The only downside was the person I traveled with decided to stab me in the back. She could have easily just talked to me face to face like an adult. I was devastated and cried a lot. Who knows what all she said and to who. And it ended our so called friendship. Bless her heart. I won't go on another trip. All those who go know each other and are friends. No need to go and sit alone the entire time.
