National Wine and Cheese Day

Today's Name Day: Jakob

    No plans for today.  Sort of a mini jammie day.  I did sleep good last night.  Both cats stayed in their own favorite nests & rarely bothered me last night.  Except Cinder starts bugging me around 10am.  Sits on my chest.  Keeps rubbing her nose on mine.  Tickles!!  I finally give up.  I think she wants to go out.  But after we get to the living room she has to sit & think about it.  But finally out she goes.

    At lunch time I checked on Cinder.  She just wanted to stay out.  But at my nap time, she came in to nap.  At least she was in during the hottest of the day.

    Weather was awful.  Temp at my house was 99F.  Only to get worse.  No breeze.  Have several days coming up over 100F.  Then we "cool down" to the 90s.  Hahaha!  No chance of rain.  One chance in the NE corner of Kansas..  Far from us here.  The drought is getting worse.  Wichita is really bad.  They are close to putting restrictions on water use.  Will affect several surrounding towns.  A lake where they get some of their water is extremely low & getting lower.

    Still smoky here.  Cannot smell it but can see it on photos & in the sunsets.  A fire in California has kind of exploded.  A man whose car had caught fire maybe from his engine instead of calling for help shoved his car off the road into a gully.  Now a big fire.  He is arrested.  The fires in Canada have spread.  And it is reported that Oregon has 30 fires.  And the jet stream swirls around & sends it to the mid USA.  So lucky we are,

    I do not feel normal due to the smoke but my eyes are not burning but I have coughed a bit.  Not too bad.

    No texting or talking to anyone.  Short text from AA so he is the same as he has been.  Better than worse.  Everyone else must be busy or just ignoring  me.    

    I have no appetite today.  Lunch was sort of ok.  Supper was not.  Nothing appealed to me.  And I have a fridge full of food.  Nothing sounded good.  Or looked good.

    Been busy & I have 4 emails with tons of info on family in genealogy.  Maybe this weekend I can catch up.  Maybe.  Be too hot to do anything else.

    Photos today are from my memories.  Mostly flower bouquets & one snowy one.

National Caviar Day 

I have had this kind of caviar & I like it fine.  Very good.  But there is a Swedish caviar I prefer, Kalles.

I really like this caviar. Have it on hard tack, eggs, hard tack with jelly then caviar.  I need to get some.  I am out & I can buy it in my town.

Today's Name Day: Fredrik, Fritz

    What a day.  Last night my Lindsborg Now group was turned upside down by a less than nice man.  I know him & expected nothing less.  And worse in private messages to me.  He has quit & now is banned from there & my private FB page.  Now too many people trying to tell me how to run my group.  They just know all the FB rules.  But  they have no knowledge of how things work.  And luckily there are quite a few nice people who have praised me & supported me.  Very cool.  I am grateful.

    Slept good last night but was sooo tired today.  Napped with Cinder.  Nice but am having severe cramps in my feet.  Hurt like hell.  Dang.  No fun.

    Texted some with AA & MK & a friend leaving on vacation.  That is about it except on my group.  Lots of activity there.

    What I would not give for a vacation.  I can only dream.  Don't feel safe enough to travel alone, but no husband anymore to travel with.  I did ask someone within the last 2-3 years or so if they would want to go here or there or whatever.  I got a blank look & no answer.  I know that well.  Means hell no.  Won't ask again.  One grandson might but too busy.  The other too far away & does not come back here.  And too involved with others, not me.  Lost out again.  Leaves me no one.  Refuse to beg.  I have to accept that any traveling on a trip is never going to happen again for me.  I try not to think about it, I cry about it, or I ignore my feelings like every else ignores me.  Què, asco!!!

    Photos are mostly recent ones.  Will explain them as needed.

                            

My office & the boss's desk.

My work stuff.  Photo to scan, pile of photos already scanned & some waiting, box of photos to do.  Only done 2 folders.  On the third one & almost done.

One of my favorite Mexican drinks.  Much healthier than American soda.  Only real sugar in them not chemicals.

Swedish dalahäst like rooster.

True!!

Nico napping with his baby.  Damn it hurts to see him.

Me.

My supper, one that I order in.  This is roast beef, cheesy mash potatoes, & a chocolate chip cookie.  Very good.  I will keep ordering.
