    Weather was ok today.  Temps were 62F & 93F.  And a nice breeze.  Sat out with Nico & Cinder.  I am ignoring the weathermen.  Do not want to get my hopes up for nothing. 

    I had a really good day ---- until this evening.  Slept good.  Started the day by taking Nico to the vet to have his nails clipped.  Long overdue.  Then later scheduled an app't for shots.

    Tried to take a short nap.  Never made it.  JS video texted.  Nice chat!  Then CF, grandson, called & updated me on his life.  Need to meet him for lunch soon.  As his work permits.  Then the vet called.

    I got ready to see HP & get a shampoo & style.  I enjoy seeing him weekly.  He makes me feel so good.

    I was going to wash the car but the car wash was closed.  Dang.  But the fuel was only $3.21.  Great.  Must have been one of the cheapest in town.  They were so busy!!  I finally had to park & wait.  Worth it.

    Went by Arbys for supper.  Good.  All done except for me drink.  And Nico just had to tip it over & spill over the floor.  God forbid the lid could stay on.  No with my luck.  What a mess!  He heard me say NO & ignored.  I was so upset.  He knocked my hand against the table which just made things worse.

    Now my hand is so sore I can barely use it.  My thumb always has some pain but tonight it is incredibly sore.  Love arthritis.  The gift that keeps on giving.  And my left knee has also fired up.  Sitting is good.  And being still.  Not a good evening.

    I am very sad to hear of Queen Elizabeth's passing.  What a special lady.  I hope the country does good without her.  I have many ancestors from England & countries part of England.  I am sad.

    Slept ok with little pain.  Nico was nice & mellow.  THEN.  I had trash to gather & for whatever reason, that pushed all his buttons!!!  Came back in from dragging a heavy bag outside & Nico just refused to let me sit for 5 minutes.  Earlier he dumped a new container of cat food.  What a mess.  Now he got into wet cat food.  At least it does not run all over.  I blocked the kitchen & that is driving him crazy.  Too bad.  I am about to get the baby gate to block the kitchen.  I have more trash to gather if I feel up to it.

    I was scheduled to work at the SVAFC one day soon.  Got called about that day & due to illness there is a second day open.  I said I would gladly take it.  The boss was shocked!!  Two days from 1-5pm.  Great!  I love to be there.  And my favorite artist is opening & closing for me.  He is the best!!  And has started eating at Jalisco's.  Nice to see him & chat.

    Love the weather.  It was 68F last night & 87F today.  Oh, if it could just last.  But in a couple of days the Dome of Heat returns.

    Friends just got home from 2 weeks in Scandinavia.  I had planned to travel often but that sure has not worked out for me.  I really cannot travel alone anymore.  No way I can walk up to an airport, through said airport, to my gate.  And then repeat when I get where ever.  My back is crap.  And one knee is also.  Hurts more than it feels normal.  When I was younger apparently no doctor took me seriously.  No one helped.  A chiropractor helped for a while be eventually it did not help.  Acupuncture sort of helped.  But Covid hit & now she has moved.  If there was just one person to help me travel but there is no one.  I would gladly pay their way.  No family is there for me.  Grandsons work & one has 3 kids.  No friend or friends who would go anywhere with me.  The one who might travel with me works too many hours.  Years ago there were friends that we went places together but those times ended for whatever reason.  Sure it is my fault.  No husband.  My brother most likely cannot get a plane ticket or passport.  So, here I am.  I may go not so far.  Just to get away.  Sometimes being alone in a different place is better.  Enough whining.  Few care so I should try harder to be quiet.

    Finally, Nico is sleeping.  Whew!  Kisse is so good.  So is Cinder.  Nico & I are too much alike I think!!

    Photos are old ones.  I did not take them all.
