Leif Erickson Day

Today's Name Day: Inger, Ingrid

    Had a great day.  Slept pretty good.  Except for Cinder waking me once trying to find a comfy snuggling place on me!!  When my alarm went off this morning both cats were curled at the end of my bed near my feet.  Odd they were getting along.  I got photos & added the spirit of Nico to one.  I am sure he was with us.  💖

    Today was a work day.  I worked on Folder "N" & finished it.  Got Folder "O"  sorted & then got all the tiny photos scanned.  Glad they are done.

    I had two photos of the same man.  Could I think of his name???  Not a chance.  I could tell you where he lives & the art he collects, but not his name.  I knew who would know.  Sent her a photo & I am glad to have his name.  Would have driven me nuts all night if I did not know.  I rarely see him so hard to remember his name.

    Supper was Mexican.  I had ordered two shoulder bags for 2 of the wait staff.  Delivered them tonight.  And got paid.  I was feeling pretty good so I had carne asada.  Excellent!!  Ate most of it & took some home for a snack tomorrow.

    Dessert was ice cream at the Barnyard Creamery.  Too die for!!!

    Watching some live coverage of the hurricane.  It is where my cousin lives.  He should have left.  May have a 10 foot storm surge there.  Ten feet of water is not survivable.  Scary.  Too late to leave now.  No fuel for their cars.  And in an emergency no help is coming until the storm is done.  Again scary.  I would have left well in advance of any danger.  If I could not afford a hotel I would live in my car.  Better than the storm.

    There were sprinkles in western Kansas this evening..  They are saying maybe ----  MAYBE rain here in 2 weeks.  Believe it when I see it.  In the 90s on Friday but much cooler on sunday & next week.

    Cinder went out yesterday & I was sort of panicky.  She came in around 8pm.  She acted sort of scared going out & coming in.  This morning she wanted out but I ignored.  Boy was she lovey dovey trying to change my mind!!!  I wanted her in while I worked. Got home & she is fine & not wanting to go out.  She wanted a slice of ham & I got her that.  The least I could do.

    One comment I need to say about someone today.  I hate when I get ignored, without even a hello.  Made me feel very unimportant.  I may be but a hello would not kill anyone.  Hurt my feelings.  I feel like I do not belong anywhere in town even though my home town.  Or not included in any get togethers with others. This just makes it worse.  End of whining.

    Photos are some from my memories today.  Autumn themed.  Plus 2 I edited.

    Still great sleeping weather.  Love the cool nights.  Last night was 53F.  The high today was 79F.  Just add some rain now & then it would be perfect.

    Sat outside with Nico this morning.  So nice.  Had a great breeze.  Tonight I was going to sit outside with Nico & I got suddenly covered with mosquitos. Twenty or more!!  Yikes!!!  When I came in & sat down, I quickly killed 3 on me.  Yuck.  Hope that is it.  Hate to sit in the house covered with bug repellent.  Smells so nasty.

    I hope my family is ok in Florida.  I would have left the state 2 weeks ago.  I am not brave.  And swimming is not something I excel at.  Watching CNN.  Showing a fire station.  Water almost half way up on the trucks.  Firemen are wading in deep water.  They cannot drive the trucks but are still trying to help those who need to be helped.  The photos are just awful.  The one reporter was in a parking lot that was originally concrete & full of cars.  Now it is empty of all cars & sand covers all the concrete.  The beach moved from the beach to the lot.

    The mayor of NYC insulted the entire state of Kansas today.  How rude.  It is fine to beat your own drum but no need to slam others when you do not know anything about them.  He thinks he is so special.  He came off as snotty.  Kansas people are much nicer than he is.

    Today was a work day.  So glad to be there.  Nice to see everyone.  I finally got done with the Grasshopper school & started a new one.

    I am not well today.  I feel ok but my blood sugar is scary high.  Over 400.  Why?  Stayed like that over night.  Again, why?  I left work early to call my doctor.  They were to give him or his PA my message.  Never got a call back.  Nice.  I may be looking for a new doctor.  I checked before supper & it came down to a little over 300.  Maybe I am trying to get some kind of illness.  That can screw your sugars up.  But my vital signs have been ok.  I am not happy.  My bestie is worried & not happy either.  He was caring.  Nice for me.

    Supper at Jalisco's.  I skipped ice cream for me.  😧  They were rather slow tonight.  People watching the hurricane?  Strange.

    Photos are of one of my fave places, The Scheme.  Need to go back again.  The best pizza!  And such a nice atmosphere.

    A quiet & calm day.  Nothing exciting today.  Sleep was a challenge for a while then I slept well.  I rested this afternoon with Nico who napped.  I read.  But I laid in the wrong position & my hip was in too much pain when I got up.  Made it to the bathroom & slathered on some ointment.  Found one called Amish Origins.  It is very good.  In 30 minutes or so I was fine.

    My nephew was supposed to come & look at my back door but he never made it.  With farming something can always come up.  No problem.  My door is going no where.  My door has no outside door knob & I cannot open it.  Scared to try to hard.  Scared it will not close again!

    Great weather.  Our low was 60F & the high was 84F.  Great for sleeping.  Not much change in the next 1-2 weeks.  Basically no chance of rain.  One lake near Wichita is catching all the fish they can to relocate them somewhere where they can survive.  And people can fish with no limits of amount or size.  They have done this before.

    I had planned on eating supper somewhere special tonight but cancelled this morning in case KN was here late.  Good call on my part.  Will try again next week.

    Nico was a brat this afternoon.  He got into something & then bit me when I tried to take it away.  Now he wants me to move so he can lay where I am sitting on the sofa.  Ha.  Nope.  You bit me so you can wait.

    I looked up where my relatives live in Florida.  Yikes!!  I hope they have left for safety.  On the west side where it is supposed to hit.  I am worried.  I hope everyone is safe.  Scary for those who have no way to leave.  They showed what 9 feet of water looks like.  No one can survive that.  Cars & houses will all float away.  Just awful.  It was a weatherman with a video demonstration.

    TV sucks tonight.  Watching some taped things until Colbert is on.  The usual networks are just too boring for me.  Same old crap.  I watch one show that I like.  The others are all just like each other.
