Today's Name Day:  Pål, Paul

    Had another quiet day.  Cool & dry.  Texts from JR & MM.  News that my daughter went to another state to visit her son, my grandson.  Lucky her.  I have made peace with the fact I most likely will never see him again or hear any kind words from him in my life again.  His choice.  I have tried.  There are things I need to have settled with him but not sure how.  Maybe need to talk to my lawyer.  One step at a time.  One thing to be hateful but not to take advantage of me.

    He posted one photo of them all so I can see what they all look like.  Some changes but none for the better.  Save it for genealogy.

    I was out briefly but did nothing outside.  Too cold.

    Slept pretty well.  Was awake for awhile middle of the night.  Pretty normal.  Some back pain probably from the cold front that arrived overnight.  Better today.

    Cinder did not nap with me until I woke up.  Then she laid on my chest.  She & Kisse are so used to napping together.  That is good for them.

    Photos are all free from a special site & all are about snow.

Today's Name Day:  Viktor, Vincent

    It was a bit warmer overnight & today.  Today was a work day but due to an extreme anxiety attack yesterday I stayed home.  If something feels wrong then don't do it.  Feeling lots of guilt but no anxiety.  I rarely have this kind of anxiety but think it is caused from being pretty sure of losing my grandson, being removed from being part of a historical board (before our board meeting, during it & after it) without them letting me know,  homebound too many days, lack of social contact, 45 inauguration, etc.  I think all of that together has done me in.  It is awful.  I am not a happy about how I feel.  I am trying to focus on pleasant things.  Cannot change family or a board group or the weather.

    Had a tiny moment of snow when woke up from my nap.  I saw a few flakes fall & some on my trash bins.

    Went to the mailbox.  It was crammed full..  Hope nothing is broken.  It is amazing.

    When I went to go to my car there was a sweet little possum curled by my front door.  Maybe a little warm air escapes under it.  She just walked away.

    I thought of eating out tonight but just did not care to get ready to go.  Will be in Salina tomorrow & can at least eat in my car or bring something home.  Then work on friday,  Ready for my normal life again.

    I fed the cats but no one is hungry.  Odd.  Cinder is curled by me cleaning herself.  No Kisse here.  Last night she curled up next to me in bed.  When I turned my phone off & the light out then Cinder came to cuddle.  We have a routine.

    The weather man just loves announcing how many days until spring.  I do not want spring,  I like winter.  He adds to my anxiety.  Hate the thought of heat, humidity, bugs.  Usch.

    Photos are seasonal.

Today's Name Day:  No name today.

    Sort of busy today.  I slept late but was cold whenever I got up.  No wonder.  I saw 17F last night.  Yikes!!  The high today was  42F.  Feels really cold outside.

    Last night I found a way to remove the water from my old ice maker.  Too heavy for me to try to move it to the sink to drain.  But my mini cans of Coke were perfect.  Got almost all the water out.  Not heavy then.  I got it moved to my kitchen chair last night then,  This morning I carried it to the porch.

    KN texted me he was coming over today with his pasture rent check.  Before lunch the old ice maker went to the porch.  A gift to KN so he can remove for me.

    Lunch was mac & cheese.  Salted it this time.  Much a better.  Wonder what a little garlic salt would do???

    I did some work on my laptop & my Remarkable2.  Change in years means I had some changes to make on both.  Think all is ok now.

    Before KN came here I hooked up the new ice maker.  I read the instructions several times.  It sounded too easy.  So I added water, plugged it in, & walked away.  Soon I heard ice being made.  Love it,

    Cinder has cuddled with me on the sofa.  Kisse is napping somewhere,

    Got my check from KN.  I might have plans for it,  Will see.

    So so sad about New Orleans.  What is wrong with people?  Is it education or lack of it, military training, politics, nutrition, emotional problems or what???  So scary.  So sad for people.

    Still sounds like a winter storm is on the way.  One weather app gave us here 5 inches on sunday,  Time will tell.  My camera & I are ready!!   I am planning on staying home all weekend,  Will eat out on friday.  And tomorrow noon with friends.

    In a better mood than last night.  Not crying today.  Good.  Only one person has upset me & that was a few days ago.  I would never treat someone like I was treated..

    Photos are a mix.

Today's Name Day:  Alexander, Alexis

    I figured today would be a perfect Jammie Day! I was feeling all kinds of lazy and it felt great. I took a lovely nap, and for the last part of it, Cinder snuggled up on me. It was really sweet.

    It was super chilly today, with highs only hitting the mid-30s. I hadn’t adjusted the furnace in days, but today I had to crank it up—I was freezing! The sun didn’t do much to warm things up either. On the bright side, they removed the freezing rain from tomorrow’s forecast, so it looks like just some mist. That’ll make driving a bit easier!

    No calls or texts today, just one quick message. I often feel a bit excluded from everything. 

    Cinder must think I'm fine since she stopped cuddling up to me around midnight last night. She only snuggled with me during our nap. I really love those snuggles!

    I hardly ever catch anything on the regular TV networks, but I always tune in for Ghosts on Thursday nights. I can't miss it—such a fun show!

    Pictures today are Christmas ones.
