Today's Name Day:  Ebba, Ebbe

    Another sort of bad day.  I cancelled the entire day.  No lunch out.  No hair cut.  Lunch with my friends next week.  Hair cut next week too.  I feel mostly ok when sitting.  But walking & standing are painful.  Tomorrow will dip myself in pain cream & pain pills.  Once I get to work I can hurt.  No problem.

    Got a little chilly last night.  Lower than freezing.  Today I saw temps in the 50s.  This morning the wind was calm but now it is roaring!!!  My boxes were moved aound some.  They are on the south side of my house & the wind is from the SE at almost 40mph.  Hate south winds.  North winds do not change my house inside temp so much.

    Yesterday on the weather they showed a HUGE & strong low front that covered the entire US ---- from coast to coast.  No wonder I hurt!!  Never seen anything like that before!!

    Next few days there is a front with some moisture in it.  And then the end of next week another front with rain.  I hope lots of rain.  Before the rain, we are in the 80s.  I hate that.  Way too early to be so hot.  I hate hot weather.

    I had a nice nap today.  That was my only activity today.  And taking care of the kits.  If they are hungry they both sit & stare at me.  As I eat!!!

    Time changes this weekend.  Stupid.  Set it one way & leave it.  In Kansas we have at least one county that does not change.  And I think Arizona does not change.  Amazing there are a few smart people here.

    Not much communication with others today.  A few texts.

    I see cattle out my living room window.  They have stuck close to home for a few days.  No llamas today.

    Soon supper time.  No clue what to eat.  Too tired to fix much.  Then spanish lesson.  The lessons this week have been really hard.  Last night was better.

    Photos are coffee ones & cozy ones.

I have this.  I smell things either while watching TV or in bed.  I do not know who they may be about.  Except popcorn.  My parents & Willie made popcorn often!! Once I was sitting in my rocker in the living room.  I smelled a wonderful perfume.  If I walked away no sweet smell.  Sat back down & it was there.

I created this collage with flowers I probably took the photos of,

Today's Name Day:  Tora, Tove

    Not a good day today.  I cancelled everything I had planned.  My sore back I have had all week got worse overnight..  Walking is a challenge.  A little better now but not great.  I have been careful today not to lift or anything.  I am sure the weather is playing a big part in my pain.  And another storm is forecast for friday.  😞

    I slept pretty good last night.  Cinder was close for a while.  Kisse cuddled with me a couple times.  Very nice.  I have learned if I use my weighted blanket over my feet I am less restless.  No idea why but I tend not to toss & turn.  And it hurts to turn when my back already hurts.

    I did watch the state of the union speech.  And I survived.  All I have to say about it.  I remain terrified for my country.

    We got a tiny bit of rain overnight & a thin dusting of snow.  Temp stayed in the 30s.  Today the high was 40-50.  Winds gusted to 50mph.  A bit less today.  Will stay windy for the next couple of days.

    I started my day with photos from one of my great grandsons telling me good morning!!  So sweet.

    Photos today are of sunflowers.  I either took them or shared them online.

World Pasta Day

Today's Name Day is Evert

    Cancelled today.  The changing weather attacked my RA & walking was painful.  I worry about the basement steps at the Mill.  I stayed home.  Then the changing weather attacked my mind & I forgot to tell my brother there was no supper out today.  I feel so bad he waited for me & finally called.  Try to eat out tomorrow.

    Fur kids were mostly ok.  Nico had a moment or two.  Normal.  But we had a nice nap.

    We had rain starting last night & till maybe noon.  Went out early & it was a downpour.  South Kansas had around 5 inches.  We did not even get 1 inch.  Of course.  This weekend gets really cold with a chance of snow.  Snow???  Here???  I can dream.  Hope they are right.

    I had the chance to work 2 months of Fridays at the SVAFC.  I turned it down.  Christmas show & things to buy.  Not dealing with crowds & selling things.  Too stressful.  The artist whose place I take thing the same.  I feel bad but I must protect my sanity.

    I looked high & low last night for the cord to charge my old iPad.  Nothing fit.  I finally found one extremely short one that fit.  Charged by morning while sitting on the floor.  Wonder where the right one is.  Afraid I was going to have to order a new one.

    Stayed cool today.  Hope it gets cool tonight.  And kills bugs.  If it is cool enough I can actually use my porch light.

    Photos are some that were in my memories today.

    Today would have been Elvis Presley's 88th birthday.  He was the best.  I was lucky enough to see him once in Wichita KS.  Great show!!

    Bad night last night.  Hip pain with no relief.  I even tried the sofa but nothing helped.  But laying there was nice as Cinder snuggled on me.  Very cozy.  Then I went back to bed.  IF Nico had just moved a little to start with I would have been fine in the bed.  I think I got about 3 hours of sleep.  Later I tried to nap but did not sleep much.  I was cold so I went back to bed.  I warmed up so nicely, but little sleep.

    JR & I had lunch at Jalsico's.  Was not real busy until church got out.  Then it filled up!!  Fast!!  We left so no one had to wait while we were done eating & just sitting.

    Weather was ok.  Cold at night & then warmed up into the 50s.  When I left for lunch the grass was all frosty & there was a little fog out.  Beautiful.

    I binge watched Escape to the Chateau this weekend.  I love that show.  Found it on Peacock so I signed up.  Need to catch up.

    More snowy photos.

    Had a quiet day.  Still in bad pain.  Nothing helps.  I finally moved to the sofa last night & found one position was pretty good.  Not as cold last night.  Cold enough though. 

    We had snow forecast for today.  It did snow around noon but did not amount to anything.  I got some photos of macro snow flakes.  Now at around 5pm it is snowing again.  Heavier than before.  The ground is white.  Nice.  Will share some photos I just took tomorrow.

    Very quiet day.  No calls or texts.  Normal day.  JS is working in Salina today.  He hates to drive on slick roads.  Hope he is home by now.  How well I remember the awful roads I used to drive to work on very early in the morning.  Sometimes the snowy, slick roads were nothing but cow paths. Scary times.

    Kisse is at the window really watching the snow.  She was never out in the snow.  I think this week is her 4 year anniversary of being a house cat.

    Photos today are from a group I like that post sort of dark Victorian photos.  They match the feel today.  Kind of dark & wintry.
