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.

Sad Remembrance

 Todays Name Day is Arvid 

    A very quiet day.  I have little to say.  I refuse to whine to others.  I am whining inside.  And wanting what I cannot have & will never have.  Just feeling sorry for me.  Very glad the flu was short lived.

    Good weather today but the heat is on the way.  Ugh.

    Photos are flowers & none are mine.

 Todays Name Day is Albert

    I am not blogging today.  I was fine all day yesterday.  I was fine all night.  Took Nico out around 7am.  Felt normal.  My alarm went off to get up for work.  I sat up & immediately needed to throw up.  And that was how my morning went.  During a break time, I called my boss LL.  She called me back & I explained.  While talking I ran to the ladies room.  Said goodbye just in time.

    I finally fell asleep & slept the rest of the afternoon.  Took no insulin in the morning which is a no-no.  Got brave.  Took my insulin & fixed some toast & pepsi.  See how the evening & night goes.  Fingers crossed.

    Pictures are of sunflowers.  None are mine.

 Todays Name Day is Hampus, Hans

    Had no plans for today.  I had things to do but changed my mind.  I will be sorry tomorrow.  Have to catch up then.

    Cinder spent all night inside again, either on me or her chair.  Nice habit.

    I washed my hair after supper.  Nico usually just lays somewhere but not tonight.  He was in all sorts of things.  No idea why.  But sleeping now.  Found most of what he had.

    Had a few texts today.  Grandsons are pretty good.  And so are both girlfriends.

    Need to get a new car tag.  Cannot find the paperwork.  Hoped to do it online.  Ha.  Have to do it tomorrow morning.  Hate getting up early.  No choice.

    Just a quiet day.  Photos are ones I googled on the word Rustic.  So nothing is mine.

National Dog Day

Show your pup some extra love on National Dog Day - take them to the park, spoil them with treats, and give them lots of cuddles! 

   Nico got an extra long nap & a cinnamon roll for supper.  Only a few bites.

    Another sleepless night.  Partly because of Cinder having to be close but also because of Nico.  He was up every hour!!  Sheesh.  I would just about be asleep & he would tap on my leg,  Again.

    Cinder stayed out part of the night enjoying the cool air & rain.  It rained off & on but did not get much.  Just nice.  Last chance for the next 10 days of so.  The drought is back on. 

    Today our temp was only in the 70s.  Awesome!!  Wish is would last, but the dome of heat returns next weekend.  Oh joy.

    Jalisco's is still closed as far as I know.  Not seen anything else.

    I am so lucky to have the Travel Channel to watch instead of the networks & their game/reality shows.  I just find them so stupid.  I also can watch movies from Amazon Prime & other places.

    Lonely day.  Mostly heard from CF's girlfriend.  Cool she texts so often & sends photos.  Sure helps.

Find Your Inner Nerd Day

It's Find Your Inner Nerd Day - so break out your nerdiest clothes, geekiest gadgets, and nerdiest jokes to celebrate in style!

    Hot again.  So tired of it.  They better not be lying to us about the cooler temps.  And maybe some rain.  I ignore that.  We miss it too often.

    Quiet day.  I slept ok but coughed all morning.  A little less in the afternoon but then I napped.  Eating is difficult.  Stimulates my coughing.  Lunch was awful.  Supper a little better.

    Had a good morning photo from MM & his youngest son.  CF's girlfriend texted me a lot this afternoon.  Nice.  Cannot wait to meet her.

    Today is one of my Denver aunts birthday.  Would have been 100.  Also the day my grandmother died.  Imagine having your mom die on your birthday.  So sad.  Miss my grandmother a lot.

    Meeting an artist friend for supper tomorrow evening.  Trying to decided if I should just not eat anything.  Or trying to decide what would be the best. Maybe a dessert.

    Photos are from Provence.  Beautiful.
