Today's Name Day:  Alf, Alvar

Have a friend from Sweden named Alf.  Known him & his wife for years.  He has been in town many years.  And was a guide for my one trip to Sweden.

    Today was cancelled.  Woke with a bad headache.  I wrote to LL & she told me there was a swim meat at the swimming pool that is across the street.  And no parking.  Maybe the headache was a good thing.

    My blood sugar has bounced around today.  Makes me very tired.  Not healthy.  I took a long nap plus a shorter one before supper.  Still tired.

    Cinder has been my "guard" all night & all day.  She never left my side all night.  She was on top the chair next to my bed.  And during my nap.  When I get up she follows & stays close.

    Icky weather.  Saw 97F here plus very strong winds.  Hard to go outside.  It pulled the door out of my hands.  Almost knocked me over.  No chance of rain for a day or two.  Text from a cousin in Kentucky.  Their weather is the same as here.  He does not like it either.

    Had an email last night from a friend,  MM had texted me several times.  One photo text from CF.  Quiet day.

    Got a photo of my great nephew & great niece with some farm equipment.  KN said the rain did not hurt the wheat much.  Not too bad this year.  So far.

    Photos are a mix.

Old Mill

Brunswick Hotel.  Long gone.

Old Mill

Every saturday morning a group of special car owners meet at the Blacksmith Shop for coffee.  They had a video today & this one caught my attention.  Cool.

Dessert.  Too die for.  Want more!!!

I am dreaming....

Daylight Saving Time

I really hate this time.  Awful for  me.

Today's Name Day: Ada, Edla

    Certainly not a good day today.  I was awake all night until 7am.  Then slept until noon.  Then a nap.  Woke for supper but fell asleep during the Oscar's.  Saw the end was all.  Ruined my day.

    Too warm today.  Of course.  I read an article about Covid.  It describes exactly how I am feeling this week.  Going to go get a test tomorrow.  If I have it will cancel this week.  Probably going to cancel anyway.  I am too tired to care.

    Hard to have things I want & need to do but just have no energy at all.  Sigh.

    I whined this afternoon.  Got some nice support from a good friend.  Always good but he is sick also.  I should not whine.  I hope tomorrow is better.

    I saw my nephew checking for new calves this afternoon as I sat outside.  I was hoping he saw me & would come to chat but he was too busy.  Of course.  😢

    Cinder was in & out all afternoon.  Drives me nuts.  Should have stayed out for a while with her.  She finally stayed out for a while.  Too late to go out now.  Running late writing my blog again.

    Photos are nothing special.  Not in the mood

                            

This is what Nico was looking at & wanting.

His photos break my heart.  Made me cry.

My gold glitter shoes!!

My class won the state basketball championship 59 years ago.  These are the 4 seniors on the team.  The upper left guy threw the tie breaker for the win!!!

    

03 july, 2022 Wandering

    Still no Covid symptoms other than last night I got very congested & felt like I was getting a cold.  Gone today.      

    Another hot day with a high of 94F & a miserable humidity of 75%.  One could cut the air outside with a knife.  Awful.  Of course when Nico goes out it is more important for him to lollygag around rather than do his business so I could get back in.  Sigh.......

    Not much going on.  I am desperately lonely.  Missed eating out twice.  Two text messages of people checking on how I am.  I should have asked someone to bring me something to eat rather than tv dinners.  But I hate to bother anyone.  I am sure everyone had things to do.  And last night I heard some fireworks.  One bunch from a get together I used to be invited to.  But without Willie I am not.  And there are at least 2 there who are not fond of me.  But just made me more lonely.

    It is my friend who got Covid that I was checked on me.  We check on each other every day to see how it goes.  She would check even if she did not have it.  Very nice friend.

    The one who usually checks to make sure I am ok has ignored me today.  Think I upset him last night.  I am so good at that.

    Last night I saw a little deer in my north  pasture.  We saw each other & had eye contact.  Later I saw a dog running in my yard.  I opened the door to see it & was surprised it was another little deer.  No dog.  So sweet.  I am sure it was running from fireworks.

    Wish I had turkeys here again.  But they came for the spilled wheat from cleaning the combines.  I miss them.  Every day I hear a quail singing his sad song.  Wish it was cooler so I could enjoy sitting outside.  Not for a long long time.

    I should not have even blogged today as I am in a really bad mood.  I should leave others alone to enjoy the holiday.

    Photos are flowers & 2 cute photos.

                        

Wandering Through Life, 10 September 2021

    Not awful weather today but over 90F and a bit muggy.  Much worse tomorrow.  Glad I can stay home.

    Picked up groceries this morning.  Food in the house again.  Glad for a local grocery store so I do not have to drive far.

    Supper with JR and PM at Jalisco’s.  It sure helps to be with people and to visit.  And laugh.  And a couple of hugs really helps.  I even ran an errand for JS and NM.  Nice to be needed.

    Played with my phone and different camera apps to look at different settings.  One I like but not for everything.

    Big event in town tonight.  Art, food, music.  Be fun to have someone to walk around with.  I even felt better tonight so I could have, but there is no one.  It is very difficult to be so lonely.  But my problem and it matters to no one else.  I just went home instead of sitting in town feeling sorry for myself.  Does no one any good.  I had attention from my friends during supper.  Grateful.

    Photos are a mix.  Some older, some today.

                    

            

                    

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 304....

 Quiet day. Sleep was spotty. Weather was OK but super strong winds. Sounded like a freight train. Wind again tomorrow.

This morning I saw the black cat again. He is gorgeous! Wish he was a house cat. Life is hard for feral cats. He did not see us and Nico did not see him.

Planning to meet a friend next week for supper. With Cooid not see him in a while. Miss him. Plus he works a lot. Be good to reconnect.

Photos are all mine from a few years ago when had actual snow. Miss those days.
