    Last night was a 1000% better!!!  I went to sleep early & went back to sleep after having Nico outside.  And less pain.  It was welcomed.  Today my allergies are much worse.  No fun.

    My cousin, ND, has been around here taking care of her granddaughter. Today she left for home & stopped for lunch with JR & I.  We met at Jalisco's.  Not busy today.  Wonder what changes from day to day.  Interesting.  It was fun to see her & visit.  I miss Denver & want to go back.

    After she left for home, I went to the Red Barn to see my artist friend, RG.  He goes home tomorrow.  We had a nice visit.  And I got to see the work he has done while here.  I am lucky to have several of his works.  He sent me one after Willie died.  It was of a strong woman & he says I am a strong woman.  I have no choice anymore.

    There was rain west of us all night.  Moved so slow.  Never got here.  I checked before ND left & it had grown.  I got home & it was wet here but none in town.  I laid down to rest & heard a shower then.  Now there is rain headed here.  A surprise.  See if we get something.  It was warmer last night at 73F.  Our high was 86F.  When the clouds & rain came to my house the temp dropped to 69F.  No wonder I felt cold!!  I sat out with Nico a bit ago.  It is 74F out now.  Feels chilly & wonderful!!  If it could just last!!

    The squirrels have started harvesting acorns off my tree.  We have quite a few on it considering our weather.  They have a routine they go through.  They pick one in the tree & chew the shell off.  Then they run across my roof to the other side of the house & run down a tree there.  They bury the seed near that tree.  Then later in the day the dig up all the acorns they can find to rebury further away from my house.  Busy little guys!!

    Cinder here most of the day & so was the black cat.  I gave her food but he most likely hogged it all.  Will try again later & sit out while she eats.

    When I left Jalisco's CT & I went through our routine of saying goodbye & him asking when I would return.  I told him tomorrow!!  He was all excited!!  Three days in a row!!  Nice someone is excited to see me!!!

    Photos are from today.  Art & clouds.

                        

  

Wandering, 29 September 2021

    Today was a work day.  Always a good day!  We lost some things I had done earlier when our server broke down.  So I am redoing some photos.  I keep checking to make sure I do not double up.  I am getting close though.  

    Our weather is good.  Not hot today.  Had a rainstorm around 6am.  Outside when I saw flashing lights.  But then I heard thunder.  We had a brief hard rain and then it moved on.  This afternoon on my way home to take Nico out to potty I drove through some heavy rain.  It was wet at home.  Now rain to the west.  Supposed to come this way during the night and tomorrow all day.

    Had supper at Jalisco's with JR and PM.  I thought I was hungry but I was not.  I brought some home so Nico got some chicken for supper.  I need to get brave and have surgery but really do not want surgery.  Give me time.  It was slow for a while then the customers increased.

    My cousin and great friend signed me up for some RA information.  I got an email about it today.  Wow.  I already feel better about myself.  It explained why I am so fatigued.  And how to work around it.  And having depression does not help.  Nice to read that I am not lazy  but overwhelmed with pain, stiffness, depression.  Although I have always been a bit lazy!! (-:  Told me how to include some gentle exercises.  I just saved a couple that are gentle and easy to do.  With my knees laying on the floor or to be on my hands and knees is impossible.  Too much pain.  These just have you sit or stand.  Will start tomorrow.

    My sparrows are all mixed up.  The male is gone or not under my carport.  A smaller one moved over to take his place.  Now another smaller one is in number 2's original place.  The female is still there.  And in the rain this afternoon I had one turkey vulture sitting atop my yard light.

    I updated my laptop yesterday.  And it actually worked!!!  What a shock.  Then I updated my phone with a new operating system.  That took forever.  Thought I was going to stay up all night!  But so far so good.

    Just a few photos all from this afternoon.  Not many..  The truck was at our pharmacy.  I had to take a couple.  Love the truck and the dog.
