Today's Name Day:  Henrik

I have known several Henrys.  My hair stylist is Henry.  He is the best ever!!!

    Had a so-so day.  Not feeling perky.  I have decided to cancel today & tomorrow.  Tomorrow was iffy but it is gone.  I have a long, long week.  Working wednesday & friday then saturday & sunday.

    To make things worse the weather for the end of the week is scary.  Super cold on friday with snow & high wind..  Same for saturday.  Hoping for not as bad as they say.  Going to alert my nephew to keep his phone close by just in case.  Dang.  I love snow but not super cold & high winds.

    Warmer tomorrow so I should be able to shampoo my hair.  It is a crap shoot!!!

    Today is National Popcorn Day.  That was my supper.  Could not eat much.  About half a bag.  Maybe I need to buy new.  Not the best.  Plus no appetite.

    Took a nice cozy nap.  Not sure how Cinder knows but she always wakes me just before my alarm is set.  Every day!!!

    Lots of photos/texts from MM.  My friend N&C a health procedure planned & it went well.  No problem.  I am relieved.  Nothing from CF.  I am being ignored again.  All he posts is sports stuff.  I am clueless & don't care.  Sorry.  I hope he is safe in Minneapolis MN.  Scary.

    Holiday here today so no mail.  Sometimes other businesses will deliver but nothing here.

    Had to change my iWatch band.  I love the one I have but it keeps coming apart.  Put my Christmas one back on.  Safer.  It has dog foot prints & snow flakes on it.  I like it.  I have a new one ordered.  See how it hooks.

    Photos are a mix as usual.  Some pet photos.

I wish.  I never feel like I am.

They have not been here for months,  At my nephews,  Miss seeing them.

Had fun playing with photos of the kids.  And me!!

Nice memory.  Wish I could remember them, my family.  I have one short memory of grandmother & another of my great grandmother.  Too short.

Winter AI me.

Pick and cook your meal in the outdoors

In September and October, many Swedes go walking in the forest to collect mushrooms, such as chanterelles and ceps, and to pick berries. Thanks to the right of public access, or ‘Allemansrätten’ as we call it, everyone can enjoy Swedish nature, provided they don’t disturb others or damage the area. Through the Edible Country initiative, you can even use your gatherings to prepare a gastronomic meal outdoors, using recipes specially created by renowned Swedish chefs.

 Today's Name Day is Evert

    What a day I had today!!  Another good day!  Amazing!!  Slept fair.  But my power drink from V8 helps.  Nothing harmful in it.  Just tasty.

    I had an appointment in Assaria for an oil change.  Good to see the owner.  He is a nice guy & likes to joke!

    I had thought about going to Salina to Verizon.  But I had talked myself out of going.  Until I got in my car.  Oil change did not take long.  Sooooo off to Salina I went.    I decided on the phone & the watch.  Then to get the best deal.  Problem.  My grandson's phone was a problem.  He is on my account.  And I tried to call him but no answer from him or his fiance. But it all turned out ok.  I got really great discounts, a new rate, & great money back.  Their servers were slow & I have far too much on my phone.  Took forever but I ran an errand & it finished.

    I picked up Arby's for supper.  And I am not happy.  The guy waiting on me was hard to understand.  I ordered a beef sandwich, apple turnover, & Arby's sauce.  Turnover was cherry & no sauce.  It was ok but what was wrong with that guy?

    I had trouble getting FB on my new phone.  I have yet to get it to work on my laptop.  So much stress.  But by hook & crook I finally got it to work on my phone & then my laptop.  I jumped through a lot of hoops!!  Also had trouble getting gmail on my phone but then it worked.  Too much stress.  Had to get my iPad to see things on it.  There was a time period that I couldn't see my FB group!!  But there were no crises on it!!

    Weather was cooler today.  Light shower at home & drove through mist.

    The road I take to Lindsborg is closed for 2 months for work.  So have been driving the back roads.  In the process I have driven but several wheat fields we used to farm.  Brought back memories.  So Willie has been on my mind.  And seeing cattle back here.  Then I got to Verizon.  I had a really nice & patient worker whose name was Willie.  Wonder if my Willie was behind that?!  I really liked him.  He did all he could to get me a good deal.

    Photos today are all from Sweden in autumn.

            

 

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 347....

Quiet day. Slept all day yesterday. So I was awake most of last nite.

Warm today but the wind is far too strong. Hits my front door and almost blows me over. Always wear my iWatch. If I fall it will call for help or I can call for help on it. Living alone in the middle of nowhere is sometimes a challenge.

I actually texted with 2 friends today. Had two video chats. Sent one email but no answer. Hope they are just busy.

Super was really good for a frozen meal. Had corn, chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. I added some butter to the corn. Found a good brand I will stick with.

Photos are a mix. Need to take a road trip with my real camera.

Always be kind to others.
