09 December, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    A good day today.  Grandsons planned to be here to do some work today but plans got changed.  No big deal.  I slept good & had a good nap.

    Went to supper with JR.  But before going the black cat was here looking for food.  So I got him some dog food.  Keep our guests happy!  He is a pretty cat.

    Supper was ok.  The manager was still gone until next week.  JS does really good.  And CT is a good helper.  And they got quite busy.  Busy enough that JS walked by & I heard him whisper "muy ocupado" --- meaning very busy!!

    I got a text from a friend in Wichita today.  He grew up near me but we have never met.  Have a lot of mutual friends.  I had liked a photo & he wondered how I knew the man in it.  So I explained.  He & his father were at a Swedish supper wednesday nite in Marquette.  He asked if I had been there, but I did not go.  He said I could have sat with them.  Maybe next year I will be with them.  Want to meet him!  Nice guy.

    We were supposed to have freezing fog last night but none here.  All south I think.  It was clear & cold.  In the 20s & 40s today.

    Photos are winter/Christmas.

    Thanksgiving is finally completely over.  I had the last leftovers for supper.  Soooo good.  Wish I had more!!  Only problem there was not enough carbs for me.  Wish there had been more potatoes in there.  They were so good.

    The black cat is back.  He sat & peaked around the corner of the house waiting for me to go in so he could eat.  I waited until Cinder had her wet food.  I had some dry food out for him.  He is quite pretty.

    I felt ok today.  Stupid itching was the worst.  But a front moves in tomorrow so I might hurt some, but it is moving so fast maybe not.

    Weather was chilly but ok.  Sat outside a bit with Nico & Cinder.  They had time to snuggle a bit.  Probably won't happen tomorrow.  Last night was in the 30s & 50s today.  But tomorrow temps will be falling after lunch.  And a slight chance of snow.  I expect to see none.

    I mostly took it easy today.  Have a busy week coming up.  All good things though.  One day at the SVAFA.  I love it there.

    Photos today are wintry & Christmassy.  I like Christmas photos especially since there is no Christmas here to celebrate.  I miss those days.  I used to have a large star on the front of my house.  (My son always hung it for us.  Until the last time I asked him when he had time to hang it.  He rudely told me that he now had his own home & his own family to take care of & I could just find someone else.  End of my star.  I can assure you if Mom had asked for a star on her house I would have found a way to make it happen.  I think he hated me long before I realised it.)  I think the Santa is a relative of mine.  His sister made his robe.  Not sure who is Santa now.

    I had a great day!  Last night was not too good, though.  The cold front arrived last night & today played havoc with my RA.  Both of my legs hurt & so did my back.  I applied pain lotion 3 times --- a different one each time.  Nothing helped.  No bueno.

    I worked today I worked at the SVCFA.  A friend worked the 2 hours before me.  She ended up just staying so we could visit.  Made for a pretty great afternoon.

    Then one of the bosses came in & we went in the back room!!!  It is a Christmas fantasy in there!  What fun!  If I had known that I would have sat there all afternoon.  With maybe a glass of wine!!  Perfecto!  There are ornaments hanging on ribbons, tons of lights on posts, shelves, & trees.  I took photos to share.

    The art show in there is clothing designed & sewn by the fashion designer who owns the Ivory Thimble in Lindsborg.  She does new clothes, alterations, Swedish costumes, etc.  I shared some photos of her clothes.  If I was skinnier I would buy a couple of them!

    JR & I planned to eat when I got off work.  The friend I was working with decided to come eat with us.  We had a great meal!  Got to talking about someone in politics & his family.  We giggled & did some research just for fun.  And we looked up fancy gowns on the internet.  Who knows why.  But we giggled at many of them.  It was fun!

    I had a black cat that hung around here daily.  Then one day I saw him no more.  I had hoped he was ok but no way to know.  I think he is from my neighbours house.  I got in the car to go to work & there on the porch steps he sat.  Glad he is ok.  Might have been a bit of food there.  Not sure.

    It started raining about the time I went to work.  Nothing too heavy.  And was still raining the last time I was outside.

    I almost forgot.  While we were working the owner of a bakery, 350', that is next door came in & gave us each a decorated reindeer cookie.  Too good for words!!  Must go shopping!  The do all sorts of rolls & pastries.  And even have soups & drinks.  Yummy!!!

                    

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 317....

 Slept good. So nice. Things in life are better so I feel better.

We had about about 2" of snow over night. Took a few photos today. Just love it. So beautiful. Roads good this afternoon.

Cancelled my eye appointment I had for today. Just not up to it. I have learned to do what I can do not what others expect.

Tomorrow Nico goes to "winter camp". I have too much to do. Only one day. He will survive.

With a better life, I have much less pain. After eating in town I am usually stiff when I get up to pay. No tonite. Walked pretty normal. Nice.

Ate supper at Jalisco's with JR. Good evening. MA was in Mexico last weekend. He saw a friend of mine who is back there seeing family. She invited me to visit her when she is back in the States.

Photos are from today.
