Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 191....

Today was a too quiet day. Had to cancel therapy since I got NO sleep last night. I even tried going to the sofa and it was worse than the bed. Finally got some sleep this morning. Slept until 1230.

Yesterday JR and I had supper at Jalisco's. Hard to imagine that the ONLY place in town to get a burger and fries is at the Mexican restaurant. And a good hamburger! I get the white Mexican cheese on mine.

After supper we drove out to Coronado Heights to await the setting sun. A couple who ate at the restaurant was out there too. They were really friendly. Very nice.

The views from there are wonderful. We live in the Smoky Valley and from the hill looking down in the valley you can see the blue haze. It is always there. There is a castle built up there done by the WPA.

The sun was awesome. The smoke is getting less. Probably good for all. My photos are not as good as the other day. JR takes awesome photos. I should post his instead of mine. 

At the base of the hill is a cemetery. Willie is buried there as is my grandson's father and my best friend John. And lots of family. I will be near my great great grandparents. For me it is like coming full circle. And close to John.

When I got home last night a deer was in my front yard near my house. Never got a photo. He never stopped. Fun to see.

   

  

The Plague, Day 173....

A very good day!!  With pretty good weather. But hot tomorrow. And hotter sunday. Then it gets cool.

I had a meeting so I missed Swedish group. Hopefully next friday.

Nico went to "summer camp" this afternoon. I am preparing for surgery next week. So ready for it. He just knew. He did not want to get in the car. I had to beg. He tried not to get in. Oh the guilt I feel. Poor Nico. He had to touch me all the way there.

Then I got grocries at Walmart. Now I have food again. Great!

Later this afternoon I met JR2 at the Peacock. Nice to sit and visit and relax without having to rush home. I miss Willie for many things, but not having him to take Nico out when I am gone is hard.

JR and I had supper at Jalisco's. I hate to cook so I am always glad to eat there with my brother and the friendly wait staff. Without all of them I would be lost.

Our new women's soccer coach is so excited about tomorrow. I sure hope they win! He has done a superb job of promoting the team even before school started. Hope he and they do well.

Photos are sunflowers and and photos from today.

    

The Plague, Day 163.....

Fairly quiet day. Back pain again. I almost needed a walker last night. Today I am better. Maybe I should give up sleeping?

I had therapy today. It is always good to see KF. I can just talk and not worry about being judged or talked about. I always say too much on FB. I am trying to stop.

I am friends with someone I have never met but did know his name. Yesterday he just felt that he must judge me on something I posted. He said he had thought I was a better person. He said some really unkind things. I did not unfriend him just changed some settings. If he does this again then I will block. A shame that people cannot just scroll on by. I am pretty good with that. I hate confrontations so I am good at ignoring. What I posted was a joke. People like him make me feel like I cannot post anything. Oh well.

They say rain is coming on saturday. Ha. We are in the 2" area. Ha. I have no confidence. I really like my weatherman but not just him but all are wrong too often. You could see the dust blowing in my photos yesterday. So dry.

Photos are mostly old ones and a few new ones from today. Will post the old ones first.

The Plague, Day 160.....

Hard to believe I have been staying in and away from large groups for 160 days, over 5 months. And hundreds of thousands of deaths and more coming.

Home today. My pain is less but my fatigue is much worse, even though I slept last night. I am just a ball of joy. Explains a lot about my life.

As bad a mom as I am to my fur kids, they both still love me. I have no idea how. Nice weather so Nico and I sat outside 3 times. Wish I dared to leave him outside alone on his leash. Too many deadly things around here though.

I ordered from a nuts etc place. Order came today. I got sesame stix. I love those and hard to find. Very good.

Photos today are all old and edited by me.

        

The Plague, Day 122........

Fairly good day. Much less back/hip pain. Good. Slept better. Kisse was very loving during the night. She almost curled up on me. Almost.

JR and I ate at Jalisco's. I try to go whenever JS works. It is so rare that I see him. And he never calls anymore. He is just too exhausted from working 2 jobs. He apologizes but no problem. Yesterday I called him on the phone. Better than nothing.

A good friend who works at Jalisco's, JG, gets a shot every so often. So they are to start again. Last time for 14 days. This time for 8 days. I hope I truly do not hurt him giving them. He never bleeds or bruises. Guess I am ok!

My state is becoming one of the states with many more Covid cases, a hot spot. But here we have a problem with the politicians not wanting to to work together. We have a lady Democrat governor and the GOP almost refuse to do anything she orders or suggests. We need to focus on people and lives. Sheesh. I am so sick of this crap. And I am sick of the ads on TV. There is no end. And the infighting between candidates of the same party. Grow up.

We had rain overnight. Not much of a storm here and we got half an inch of rain. South of us I heard there were winds of 106 mph. Yikes!! Slight chance of rain tonight and chance tomorrow. Super hot over the weekend.

My Swedish group plans to meet in person on friday. We are all suppose to wear masks. And social distance. I will try to go. One person without a mask and I am gone. I do not care why they do not have one, I am gone. And any political conversation, I am gone. As the president, I allowed NO politics. But there is a new president and I do not agree with him on anything. He has already pushed some political stuff. I will be gone. And maybe not return.

Photos are all old one except the last 3. They are new. Very cool car in town this evening!
