08/2024 Måndag the 26th - Wandering & Capturing Moments


 


National Dog Day

Nico when he was a baby.  Just adorable.  My heart aches for him.


Today's Name Day: Östen


    Had a good day but busier than I planned.  Had lunch with RG.  Our last monday together.  He is going back to his home town on friday.  I will miss him.  He is a super guy.  Always makes me feel good about life,.  And makes me feel loved & ok.  Sort of rare feelings for me.
    I need to get my car tag renewed & I only have until the end of August.  So I called them to see if I can make an appointment.  I had no idea I could do that until recently.  I had planned to go on thursday but they had 4 open spots today.  And I thought "why not".  Whenever I have been there to get my tag renewed the line is always bad.  I walked in & it was the longest line I had ever seen!!  If I did not have an appointment I would have sat down & cried.  But I walked in to tell them I had an appointment like they instructed to do..  She asked my name & it was almost time for my appointment so they told me to sit down.  (All those stupid people standing line while I just walked in & got helped immediately.  We are a stupid people in this country.  So sad..)  I got my tag renewed & in 2 weeks I will get a new tag since our state changed what ours look like.  If I get stopped for not renewing mine I have a paper to show the policeman.  And I renewed my handicapped parking plaque.  Thank god!!!  I have missed it.  Got all my paperwork organised in my car afterwards.  Good to be done with it all.
    Got home & I had took a short nap.  Then supper.  Neither cat woke up when I left this morning so they were still sleeping.  Cinder stayed in while I napped.  Too hot outside.
    Supper was extra good.  I got soup today.  Soup was loaded baked potato with bacon & cheese.  Must buy again.  Really yummy.  Plus a croissant with chocolate.
    Horrid hot weather.  I saw 104F this afternoon.  Usch.  My AC could not keep up.   My living room was 77F.  Too warm.  It is finally back to normal.
    There is a line of storms west of me.  Looks hopeful but I know better.  Time will tell.  Still warm tomorrow.  & rain.  No rain on wednesday but then more rain on thursday & temps in the 80s.  I can dream.
    More pain today.  Hip & knee.  Walked better than I thought I would.  And my eczema is almost always itching me somewhere.  I keep an anti itch lotion near  when at home.  The worst is my left palm & my hair line on my neck.
    I try not to whine too much when I write here but very few people I am friends with read my blog.  Every once in a while I open it up to everyone.  But no one ever asks to be put on my list.  Fine for them.  I write for me mostly.  Blogged for many many years,  I do not have hundreds of readers but that is ok.  I am thrilled if I get 20 from all around the world.
    About time for my spanish lesson.  Last night was pretty easy.  Always nice.  There was a test I could do to skip to the next lesson.  I did not pass.  Harder than I expected.  And I was distracted also.
    Pictures are a mixed mess.

02/2024 Torsdag the 01st - Wandering & Capturing Moments


February 1st -- finally!!

 



National Dark Chocolate Day


Today's Name Day:  Max, Maximilion


    A quiet day.  I woke up at 4am not feeling well.  Glad I had no events planned for today.  I felt ok until I ate lunch.  But my sickly feeling did not last long.

    This morning I noticed a nice pile of rocks in my back yard.  Gives me hope for my driveway & the circle drive to get to my car port.  KN is the best!!

    I decided to take a real nap.  Went back to bed.  Cinder was still in her nest & did not move until my alarm went off.  Nice nap.  Cinder went outside then.  She is still gone.

    Got really good news today.  MM called during his drive home today.  He is not going back to Iowa.  I am relieved.  I am sure his sweet sons will be glad he is closer so they can see him often.  I am relieved.  I feel better when he is near in case I need anything.  My circle of supporters who can help numbers around 2.

    Had some sweet photos in my FB memories of CF & I.  Made a collage of them.  Good memories are always nice.



                           

    It did not get as warm as yesterday.  Saw we got in the 60s but did not make 70 like yesterday.  Overnight it was 50s.  Far too warm.  But I felt chilly.  Maybe my being ill caused that feeling.

    No plans for a couple of days.  I have things to do if I feel peppy.  I did some stuff before supper.  Mostly outside.  I have trash to carry out.  My one bag is going to be too heavy.  Yuck.  Maybe I can get it out before the heavy rain starts.

    Having new RA symptoms.  The other night my skin felt like sandpaper ---- dry & scratchy.  That could be more my Sjogren's syndrome than RA.  And new pains where I did not have any pain before.  Always changing,

    Photos today are library/book related.  I would love to have a reading nook in a large house.  Never had a large house.  Sure it would be heaven.
