Today's Name Day:  Henrietta, Henrika

Knew a Henrietta who was a neighbour & mother of a good friend.

    Had a very good day after an awful night. I went to bed & then I could not find my glucose sensor reader.  I searched the entire house more than once.  It was nowhere.  I was sure that when my blood sugar got too high or too low & then it would beep.  No beep all night.

    After I was dressed for lunch I called the company who makes my sensor to order a new one.  They were super nice & one is on the way.  Be here in 5 days.  Right after we said goodbye I heard my sensor beep softly.  It was somewhere in the bedroom.  Never found it.

    Then I got home tonight after supper I went to take a nap & then I saw it.  Nap never happened.  Could not relax. Cinder did cuddle with me.  I have changed my sensor.  It has to sit for one hour before it works,  Now up & blogging & waiting.

    Lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  Got a table which is always nice.  Good visit.  Most of the kids who came in ordered then left.

    Then I worked at the SVAFC.  I was a bit tired, but kept busy.  Visitors were sort of steady.  Lots of kids walking by but not coming in.  One lady did come in who knew our artist.  We had a great conversation.

    There was a huge bouquet of wildflowers on the desk in the gallery,  I will have photos of it tomorrow.  I see no flowers anywhere near where I live.  Sad.  No photos for me then.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  Did not know any of the workers.  But they all were nice.  I had the shrimp basket with potato wedges.  Next time just curly fries.

    Weather was a bit warm.  Cooler on sunday.  I hope.

    Photos are more flowers.  They are again from the Rosberg House a few years ago.  They all got replanted this summer.  I hope to get some new photos soon.

I sure miss my baby.  The pain never stops.

National Ravioli Day

Today's Name Day:  Joakim, Kim

    What a great day!!! I took an anxiety pill when I went to bed last night & slept all night, And so did Cinder next to me. About time.

    I got up a bit early.  Kisse got up with me but I never saw Cinder.  I got dressed & went ou tthe door,  I decided to eat lunch at the White Peacock.  Good food,  It is my goal to try to go out more instead of sitting home feeling sorry for myself.

    At the Peacock there was a large group of women meeting together.  I knew many of them. They left & another large group of women came in.  I knew many of them & even went to school with  of  couple.  I have never ever been included in any kind of group.  Would be fun.  But I know better.  When I was president of the Swedish group there were 5 of us cousins in the group.  They all ate out often but never included me.  I have never figured out what is wrong with me.  Something is.  But life goes on.  I say hello & smile & talk but it never matters.  I stay invisible,

    After lunch I went to the Old Milll Museum to work.  They were both really busy so I just worked.  Got a lot done.  We did get to visit a little though.

    After work I picked up JR for supper.  Back to Jalisco's.  Good to be there again,  The boss's parents are on their way here from Mexico for his brother's birthday.  Be great to see them again.  Love them.

    Dessert was Indigo Moo'd for ice cream.

    Next we went to the Elmwood Cemetery in town.  Put several solar lights on graves ---- our parents & grandparents.  I noticed a familiar last name on a near headstone.  Then JR checked the first name for me.  When I heard it I burst into tears,  Someone special from my past as a nurse.  I am still teary now.

    Then we went to our mom's twin sister's grave.  She was born dead but they were born on different days since her sister was born before midnight.  While at her grave I found another family ancestor who I just recently discovered had a second marriage I never knew of.  I did know that the second wife & her family are buried in the same cemetery.  And we found them near our parents.  Tomorrow I research more to double check they are who I think they are,  Very interesting.  Genealogy is always interesting.  Now I just need some free time!!!  Busy week though.

    Last night I had some plans presented to me about some future plans that were just too good to be true.  I no longer dream of travel &/or fun.  It is not a part of my life.  The thought of such a cool event was overwhelming.  Pretty sure today it will not happen.  (No wonder I am teary.) No problem.  But makes me sad for giving in to a brief moment of excitement.

    There is an event in town on friday,  I usually ignore things like this but I have decided I will be there.  JR may be there but he can do what he wants.  I will be there.  Really odd for me.  Usually I have no one to be with for one reason or another,  Kind of excited now.

    Spring is here but now there is snow forecast.  Yay!!!  Gonna be some very unhappy summer people.  Tough!!

    Photos today are from this afternoon,  Might have saved too many,  See if I can weed some out,

                        

Wandering through Life

 Always be kind. Wear a mask if needed. Avoid toxic people and situations.

Nice busy day. Alway" good. Met my friend JR1 at the White Peacock. I had an Italian Cream Soda. Love it! We had a very nice visit. Hopefully soon again. I sure am going to miss her when she moves away.

Then I picked up JR for supper at Jalisco's. They ended up completely filled and large take out orders. MA and JS were running!! Glad we got there early so we had a booth!

I have no appetite. Nothing sounds good. Odd for me. I assume part of my cold. Still cough now and then.

Weather was much better. Cool and no humidity. Wish it would stay this way. Rain returns this weekend.

My mood is kind of funky. Memories, missing people, no family get togethers. Mom always had us for supper. Nothing fancy, but I miss those times! And no one to take Mom and Dad's place. Hard for me to see all the family get together photos on FB. I should just not go there during holidays. I am happy for others but lord knows how bad I hurt inside.

Photos were taken today. On my food bill you will notice there is tequila written. They are not a bar. Just my hoping they have some!!

Wandering through a pandemic, Day 433....

Always be kind. Wear a mask if needed. Avoid toxic people and situations.

Had a great day. Needed one. Met friends DD, ND, and TN at the White Peacock. So fun to visit with like minded people. We talked international things, church, local issues, Covid, travel, and more. And lots of laughs and warm feelings.

Took myself out to eat at Jalisco's. Last minute decision. CA invited me to go to Mexico with her. Sweet. But takes lots of planning for me with 2 pets. I want to go with her though! She talked to me in Spanish and JS said she was telling me to to give him money! I know enough Spanish to know he was wrong!! Good try though.

Been cloudy all day. Tiny shower mid afternoon. Now there are tornados way in western Kansas. Hopefully only rain when it gets here.

I got a new rain gauge but I am not strong enough to push it in the yard. May be if it rains.

Photos are taken today.

 

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 364....

A very good day. Cancelled therapy. Had family coming from out of state. Not sure of the time they would arrive. Helped me not be stressed.

JR and I met our cousin, his wife, and her son. So wonderful to see them. We met at the White Peacock. We sat on the patio. Peaceful. While we visited, we watched birds and squirrels. They are on the way to Florida to their new home. On a beach. Heaven for sure!

JR and I ate at Jalisco's. They were busy with dine in meals and take out meals. Good to see!

I was texting with JS who was a cook tonight. He needed a favor. I ran a short errand for him after I ate. I even got a hug!

Weather was calm and warm. Nice out.

I wonder what occurred in my driveway yesterday. Somebody was hot rodding in my drive and doing circles. Interesting.

Always be kind to others.

All photos was from today but two.
