National Root Beer Day

Today's Name Day: Torborg, Torvald

    Today again did not go as I planned.  Not horrible just nothing worked out.  I was hoping last week was over & done.

    Supposed to meet my cousin fron Denver for lunch.  I was awake at 6am & checked my group & texts.  Had a text from her, ND.  Her family all left at 630am & that meant she had to leave but no where to go.  Certainly no lunch at 630.  She decided to go home then.  Will see her next time.

    I told JR we could eat supper out them.  But a family member upset me.  Not sure if it was intentional or not but I think it was.  And then my pain increased.  And I was extra tired again.  No supper.

    But no supper was ok.  Took my nap.  Cinder did not start out on my but I woke up later & she was curled up on my chest.  So nice.  It was a good trade off.

    Got hot again.  I saw 94F.  Usch. Plus winds up to 45mph.  Another usch.  And the winds are to get stronger over night,  And chance of rain starting tomorrow & bigger chance on wednesday.  Well everywhere except my farm.  Of course.

    KN & crew are on their last wheat field now. Wonder if they will get done tonight or tomorrow.  I never got any photos.  Saved some from SnapChat tonight.  Maybe next year.  Hope it was a good crop.

    Someone I know loves to post dozens of photos.  DOZENS.  But they are all OLD.  From 1 to 4 years old.  I know no one in them.  If they tried to show me who are kids, parents, etc. that would help.  But nary a name or clue.  I just ignore. A bit better than another friend who goes to concerts & then posts 200 photos at one time.  Ignore those too!!  Over whelming!!  Not insulting,  I have lots of photos I save online but they are only for me.  Sometimes for JR also.  I know one else would care.

    Photos today are all sketches that I loaded to an app I have & painted online.  Then did collages of them.  A couple of years ago they were done.  I liked using sketches or whatever I found online to paint.  Should do some again.  Better than what the app offers.

                            

23 December, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    I slept pretty good last night.  Not much pain.  Nico was sort of calm & slept.  Tried to get Cinder in but no way.  I have quit trying.  There is now another cat hanging out here.  He is an old male feral cat.    Not friendly to Cinder.  She is hanging out in the    shed & he goes under the house.  I feel guilty not    feeding him but I do not need a trouble maker here.  Bad enough I feed the black cat some times.  Maybe  when it is warmer he will move on.  Poor thing.      

    I saw -3F last night with strong winds.  Makes the wind chill at -20 to -40.  A little brisk.  Today was 17F.  But the wind made it feel worse.  On sunday we have a chance of a winter mix of weather and rain next friday & saturday.

    You can tell it is my blog time.  Nico is out of control.  Into everything, wanting out just for fun, trying to sit on my shoulders.  I almost got frost bite.  Too cold.  But this is 100x better than summer.  I am already dreading the heat & humidity.

    JR walked to Jaliscos.  Lucky him.  I had Swedish meatballs over noodles with lingonberries.  Really good.  But he had people.  I am always alone.  But I am more accepting & calmer about it.  But I was outside when the mail lady came.  We actually talked a bit.  My big people moment.

    I tried to nap but just rested.  And while my mind worked overtime, I shed no tears.  A photo of our last Christmas with Mom was in FB memories today.  Did not cry over that.  Three in that photo are no longer with us.  Willie, friend John, & Mom.  Would love to go back to that day in 2007.  Mom died the next Christmas Eve 2008.

    My first photo tonight is of my large bottle of my Hint water with cherry flavor.  I set it on the porch for 90 minutes.  Ice had formed all around the edges of the bottle.  Squeezed it & had ice in the bottle.  Great!

    The rest of the photos are Christmas.
