28 January, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

     I actually got some sleep last night.  Helps how I feel!  Cinder was next to me off & on.  Nico is always next to me.  Cinder was in more than out yesterday.  Only one scuffle with the 2 cats.  Nothing serious.

    My hip pain almost killed me last night.  And all day yesterday.  Not sure if I sat wrong or it was the weather changing.  Or both.  There was nothing I did that stopped the intense pain.  Today is better.  So is my queasiness.

    I had my hair done right after getting my new water heater.  So today I showered & shampooed.  Never ran out of hot water.  Awesome!  

    I have stopped using liquid shampoos & conditioners.  There are too many plastic bottles thrown away & not recycled.  I ordered some solid ones from Earthling.  I like them.  They suds good, smell good, & my hair is soft.  

    I saw some bar soap advertised that softens dry & itchy skin.  It is called Rad.  Because of my 3 chronic conditions my skin is beyond dry & itches often.  Decided to try.  It just came & have used it twice.  Works good.  My skin feels soft & I have much less itching.  So far so good.

    Change is good.

    We got up in the 50s today.  Warm.  Sat out with Nico & Cinder.  But about 3pm the temp started to drop.  Every time I looked it was at least 2 degrees cooler.  Down to 23F now.  The high tomorrow will be 19F.  There is snow here & there, but never for me.  Need to see if Cinder wants in.  She should.

    Missed a day seeing JS.  I wrote him but he never answered.  Normal.  I hope to see him at least once next week before he leaves.  I am not holding my breath.  Already feeling more alone.

    Planned on Jalisco tonight but JR had other plans.  I decided that just me there was stupid.  Why should I take a booth when other groups of people would need it.  I would just be in the way.  I almost drove to Salina to pick up chicken or BBQ.  But too lazy to go.  Next week.

    I had 3 good friends at one time recently.  One I used to actually go places with.  Then it stopped.  Wonder what I did?  Suddenly I was only good enough for a rare coffee.  With her other friends they did lots of stuff.  I was left out & realised we were never really friends.  Long story short, she now hates me.  Her loss.  My second close friend moved to New York.  We talk on the phone & she sometimes comes back for a visit.  Glad we are still close.  We had fun together.  JS is my last good friend.  He is moving out of state.  I wonder if our friendship will survive.  I hope.  He wants me to come visit him.  I cannot walk through an airport.  I am scared to drive that far alone.  I have no one who wants to travel with me.  I understand that their lives are much more important than what I want or need.  Will only get worse.  A couple have promised me they will do this or that with me.  Still waiting.

    Photos are snowy, winter ones.  And some buffalo.

26 December, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Today is a busy day.  It is Boxing Day, St. Stephen's Day, & the first day of Kwanzaa.  In Sweden it is also Annandag Jul.  In my town we have a church service with singing in Swedish.  I think it was cancelled today due to the parking lot covered in ice.

    I left my "family Christmas dinner" when it started raining around 630pm.  It was not freezing then & the roads were not slick yet.  Changed quickly after that.  From my car to the steps at home is concrete & that was slick.  I crept.  Took Nico out then & he hit that ice & his legs went in 4 different ways!!  Did not faze him at all!  The rain did not last all night but it was still slick today.  Glad I stayed home.

    Winds for most of the week forecast but temps in the 40s to 50s.  I can maybe actually turn my faucets off for a while!

    Last night it was too warm for a while then cold.  I was not comfy in bed.  And I was restless.  I finally moved to the sofa.  Why that is better I do not know.  A long afternoon nap & then I felt better.

    I finished my Christmas dinner leftovers for lunch today.  That wrap is just the best.  BBQ chicken & bacon wrap.  Will buy it again!

    The high point of my day was shampooing my hair.  I got some new shampoo & I have been anxious to try.

    Have been trying to feed Cinder but the black cat was here.  Then a possum was on the porch looking for food.  None there.  I called to her when Nico went out but she did not come.  Probably will later.

    Found out last night that 2 friends are moving away.  I want them to be happy but I will be devastated.  I mostly have no friends & this makes it worse.  I should be used to losing.  But will try to be positive & grieve in private.

    Photos tonight are snowy ones.  We still have some snow here but soon to disappear.
