Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 185....

Been mostly housebound now for over 6 months. I think this will never change. At least not in my lifetime. I do go out eat 3 times a week. Plus an occasional tea out. At tea I keep my mask on. Can use a straw easily. At Jalisco's we sit near the kitchen and not near anyone. If people start wandering around, my mask goes on. I used to be much more active. Even just being alone and going places. That part of my life is only going to get worse. Makes me sad. It is what it is.

Happy Mexican Independence Day!

Saw my eye doctor this afternoon. All is good! Shield off as of friday and can wear makeup. Finally. Vision a bit blurry tonight after she examined my eye. Getting better. I never wear my glasses now. Feels strange. I keep trying to adjust them!

JR and I at supper at Jalisco's. We go whenever JS works. They were really busy for a while. I think his feet and DV feet never touched the floor! Got better later so we could chat a bit.

The fur kids! Like having a second family. Nico has no temper control today. Poor Kisse moves and he is jumping all over me and the sofa. Then this afternoon while he was falling asleep she  slowly walked over to him, licked all over his head and walked away. Odd. He was ok with it.

Photos are more flowers, some old and some from this afternoon. The  sunflowers are just gorgeous. Had a slow start so I will enjoy them as long as I can!

       

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 180....

A better day. Better mood. Still wanting more from life but just not going to happen. But I am glad my friends are all doing well, happy and enjoying life and friends.

Slept better and so did Kisse.

Went to get Nico around 2pm. He was so excited to see me! He drug the worker out to the car!! When he got home he checked every corner. Then crashed on the sofa. Kisse curled up on the hopper and glared at me. I could read her mind: You had to get him!? I thought you gave him away! Take him back!!! NOW!

JR and I supper with JR2 and her friend at Jalisco's. Great food, ornery JS, and great conversation. I enjoyed their company!

I will explain photos one at  a time.

Great grandson

My all time favorite car. Oh, to own a  Delahaye!

My great grandmother, Grandma Larkin. She was a wood carver. Well known here.

Park lake in McPherson. Lots of geese live there.

Sunflower.

There are 3 insects on this sunflower. Two butterflies and one......? Can you see it?

Hippie bus in town a couple of years ago. I loved it. I should have asked for a tour!!

Four photos from where my cousins in Sweden live on the Ljusnan River. It is heaven on earth. It is their dock and their son fishing.

    

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 179....

Rain has stopped. But still cloudy and cool. We were in the 50s today. Love it. The future weather is no 90s. At last.

Could not sleep last night. Neither could Kisse. No idea what her problem was but my mind was in overdrive. No good thoughts and many tears. Better today.

Very quiet day. I was supposed to give JG his shot tonight but begged off. DV called and will do on sunday night.

No Swedish group for me tomorrow. Too emotional. And it is just not right. Missed my historical society as it was surgery night. I was hoping they would decide to meet in a larger room. Who knows. If it stays where it is, I will only be there for board meetings. I will leave before the program. No need to be in a tight room and not all wearing masks. I am careful for all.

Photos are just flowers.

Sheltering in Place, Day 178....

I survived my second eye surgery. With my first one I felt drunk the night of surgery, This time I felt drunk tonight. I almost staggered out of Jalisco's. Saw my dr today and all is well. My prescription glasses are almost worthless now. My cheap readers are the best.

I have the best nephew ever. He has been my chauffeur. When I have no other family to help, he is a life saver.

And my cousins in California are wonderful. They asked what time my surgery was, then the  night of surgery texted to see how I was doing, and texted again today to check on me. I am not used to so much attention. And they made fun of me being one eyed and a pirate!! Complete with graphics!!

It started misting/raining yesterday and our temps dropped to the 40s. Today was rain and our temp never got out of the 40s. It was heaven. I emptied the rain gauge and I had 1.5". Nice.

JR and I ate at Jalisco's. I debated most of the day if I should  go or not. But I needed good food. It was really really quiet in there tonight.

Photos are from today in my drive, etc.
