Today's Name Day:  Hildegard, Magnhild

    No work today.  😞  Had some water over the driveway after over an inch of rain overnight.  More forecast.  BUT.  No more rain appeared.  So I had already called in for no work.  Causes me lots of guilt not to be there.  Then with the changing weather my RA went all to hell.  Hard to walk.  Even hard to get comfy in bed.  I cannot win.  But eventually Cinder saw me & cuddled all afternoon.  She had cuddled with me the entire nightalso.

    By supper time my stomach was upset.  I wanted to eat nothing.  I picked popcorn.  Knew it would fill me up with no upsetting my stomach further.  I hoped.

    Little human contact today.  Couple of texts from MM & an email from JL.  Tonight got a guilt photo from the other grandson.  It was not a loving photo & novery  communication. 

    Much cooler today.  Living room was chilly so the room heater was on for a short time.  Comfortable now.  More rain forecast tonite & tomorrow.

    Watching Josh Gates on the Discovery Channel.  Not scary tonight.  Yet. Still better than anything on CBS, etc.  I watch almost nothing on those channels.

    Jimmy Kimmel has been temporarily removed.  No freedom of speech in this country.  Sad.  Love his show.

    I was outside briefly.  Felt ok.  Out of the house tomorrow I hope.  In the rain.  Maybe not enough rain to bother my driveway,

    Photos are a mix.  Quite a few are ones I have hand colored in an app.  Will post those first.  Some were sketches.

   

Sketches I recolored,  App is expensive.  Should do it again.  It gives you pictures to color but I enjoy sketches much better.

Cool business that was open last summer.  Not there this summer.

Viking statue on the Bethany campus.  Artist is from Salina.  I got to see & touch it in his studio several years ago.  Love him.

National Homemade Bread Day

My best friend in high school's mom was a baker.  It was a treat to go to her house after school just as the white bread was coming out of the oven.  Add butter & jelly!!!! What a treat!!  My mom only made Swedish rye bread.  Wish I had some now,

Today's Name Day: Naemi, Naima

    Today did not start out good.  Tried to get out of bed & bad pain everywhere in my body,  But after tons of pain cream & pain pills I am a little better.  But with the cold front approaching not sure it will last.

    I did make it outside for a bit.  Moved some boxes before the rain starts.  Chilly outside,  I like it.

    I turned on the tv after lunch & found a rugby match ----- France & the All Blacks from New Zealand.  NZ is my fave team.  Great match but France won by 1 point.

    TV pretty well sucked today so I watched several Dish Scapes.  Found one from Bryce Canyon.  Awesome place & awesome video.  Snow in the canyon.  Would love to go back there.  The one I am watching now is a Christmas living room.  There is a magic elf in it that moves to different places.  Fun.

    I got a new candle so I finally lit it today,  Nice fragrance.

    Worked on some genealogy.  I am actually keeping up.  That is good.

    Had a tiny shower over night.  Radar looked pretty good but did not do much here.  Nothing here yet.  After supper maybe.

    Today was SM 4th birthday.  I could not feel worse if I tried for missing it.  But I knew I just could not be there.  Sitting on the hard chairs would do me in.  I stayed quiet all day. And sat on my soft sofa.  Getting supper ready really hurts my back.  Hard kitchen chair  But I am missing being there.  I have been crying not that it helps.  KW sent me a lot of photos.  She is the best.  Love her a lot.

    Wanting food that I do not have here.  Oh well.  Another day maybe.  Not tomorrow.  Too rainy.  Maybe tuesday.

    Photos today are free ones of Christmas doors.
