16 august, 2022 Wandering

    A pretty good day.  I was to meet my brother for lunch but he had to back out.  So I took myself out for lunch.  Someone asked me to eat with her.  We had a nice visit until she got a phone call.   I assume it must have been very important.  But before the call she told me how many Covid cases there were at a place near us.  Time to mask again.  And if they had Covid why are they not at home???

    Then a friend, her husband, & 3 grandkids came in.  Her husband stood & talked to me for a long time.  That was nice.

    My lunch was really good ---- ham, cheese, mayo, & lingon.  Perfect!!  Brought a muffin home.

    Picked up meds before going home.  Still have 2 more to pick up.

    Perfect weather.  Cool, cloudy, light breeze --- perfect.  I sat outside for quite a while with Nico & Cinder.  She loved me being there.  We did lots of cuddling.  Nice to have some love.  Rare for me!

    When I went down the drive way there was a quail sitting on top of one fence post.  I actually got a photo or two of him.

    I have also been watching a plant that I am clueless as to what it is.  Looked online & nothing.  Oh well.

    This week I am sort of done with something.  I have taken the blame & tried to explain what was going on.  It may be time to just give it up.  Makes me sad & it is all my fault.  Explains why I have no friends.  Time to give it up.

    Photos are just prairie plants & Cinder.

                        

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 341....

 Nice weather day. Warm day at 50. Chilly night at 19. But now we are in a winter storm watch tonight. Ice coming. Be fun driving to town.

Cows walking by the fence by our yard. Keeps Nico on his toes! He lets them know just who is in charge!

Slept better but up early. Threw on some clothes. Off to town. Got groceries I ordered. And picked up my insulin. They are across the street from each other. Quick trip. Never got out of my car so doesn't matter how I dress. (-;

As usual no texts or calls. I never even hope. People talk about having their bubble, friends or family, they are always with. My babble is just me and my brother.

One of my FB friends visited Willie's grave today. What a super nice gesture. Made my day. I don't think our kids have been there ever. Such caring hearts they have. After I die I am sure they will dance on my grave.

On Instagram there is someone who posts old abandonded buildings. There was a house I immediately recognized this evening. Owners were friends of my in-laws. I was in that house many times. And they had a story about a lady and her hired man who disappeared. The lady is my husband's family. I asked if they had more information. I hope so.

Always be kind to one another.

Photos today are some old ones. Kitty is a new photo. The old one of three kids is my husband's cousin, he is in the middle, and the third boy is his brother. Cool photo. The bee one I added text to. I need to take new photos.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 322....

 Had a quiet. Slept good. Went to bed early, too.

Had groceries to pick up at 1pm. Also had meds to pick up. And they are next to each other. Convenient. My cousin's wife carried them out to my car. We had a great chat. Planned on lunch some time.

Had a long call with JS. Always good to hear from him. Then GE called also. Two calls in one day!

Fell asleep and totally spaced out supper plans with JR. Feel guilty! Rescheduled.

Great weather today but after Wednesday arctic air moves in. Brrr. And maybe rain or snow. Here? Doubt it.

Photos today are black and white photos from my farm and town.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 224......

 Good but cold day!! A bit warmer than last night but stayed cold all day. No snow here yet. Wichita and KC have some snow. It misted here this noon.

JR and I had lunch at Jalisco. They were so quiet. Maybe the cold kept people home. We do have a new restaurant but it was not open when we got to town.

I took different meds at bedtime last  night. I took my anxiety pill, Tylenol, and pain cream. I actually  had a pain free night.  What a surprise. I can only take one anxiety pill a day. So I am trying a half pill twice a day. A little pain but better than usual. I can live with it. At least I walked more normal. I was ready to get my dad's walker to use. 

I have 2 sparrows who sit each night under my carport roof. Only one is there tonight. Did the female leave? I hope she is ok. Too cold for them here. I will miss them when they are gone. No deer have been here in two days. Or I have not seen them. Do see a skunk often. Do not want it here. I yelled at it last ngiht.  She left then.

Photos are ones I took today.
