Peaceful day.

Today's Name Day:  Rut

My grandfather Boppa had a sister Ruth.  But I remember her calling her Rut. (root)

    I had a mostly quiet day.  My family with my 3 great grandsons & grandpuppy are all in town & safe.  I can relax.  And they have made sure I am ok & have all I need.  No other family have checked on me as of yet.  My brother is staying home.  Too icy to get out.

    Ice started early this morning.  I planned to go get the mail from yesterday & today.  One look at the car's windshield changed my mind.  Heavy while ice.  Mail can wait.

    I have a new room heater so I made a place to set it.  And in the process gathered many pieces of art to move to the office.  Not a fun job.

    I ate late & food for the cats was late.  They did not eat much.  Not sure where Cinder is but Kisse is curled up next to me.  I like that she does that more often.

    I just got a message from a friend in South Africa.  He sang Happy Birthday to me.  Très spécial!!!!  He truly made my day!!! 💖. His birthday is New Years Eve.

    Need to set up my heater.  My next job now.

    No snow here yet.  Later tonight.  Depending who posts & what app I look at I have seen anywhere from 15 to 20 inches of snow.  Winds up to 40 mph or more..  Right now they are gusting to around 30 mph.  Hope our electricity does not go out.  I refuse to go anywhere until the temp is 30.  That will be on thursday.  Wednesday I have to be here to sign some incoming mail.  If the electricity holds, I will be ok.  My water is dripping & I have plentry of food.

    I have gathered trash but cannot get to the trash bins.  Hope all animals  are sleeping tonight & not up to making a mess.  😱

    TV sucks.  I have checked movies showing & they are beyond sucking.  Or I have seen them.  SNL rerun on now.  Never tire of it.

    Tired.  Photos now.

Today's Name Day:  Sylvester

    What a busy day I have had!!!  Got up early to get ready for a doctor's appointment in Wichita.  I ate lunch really early.  And thought I would die of hunger by mid afternoon.

    I met my new PA.  She is very nice & caring.   And her assistant called me Miss Julie.  I liked that.  And the real doctor came in to say hi.  He is one of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen or met.  When he checks my hands with his fingers, his hands are very soft.  He is really kind. And caring. I should be so lucky to meet someone like him.  Never happen.  Not to me!

    My one knee is the worst & hurts often.  I asked if I could have a shot in my knee,  She said of course & she uses a steroid,  I assumed that would be it.  And I am well aware it will make my blood sugar go sky high!!!  Nothing I can do but wait it out.  Think I feel better already tonight,  Be back there in 6 months.  I also had some lab work done also.

    After I left the office I grabbed a Pepsi & ate a cookie I brought with me.  Did not help my hunger.

    I decided to try another way to leave Wichita,  Much much better & I avoid lots of traffic.  And the scenery is much better.

    The interstate highway to Wichita is already treated for ice on each bridge, each over pass & under each over pass.  They must believe our forecast.  Possible winter storm on saturday & sunday.  And super cold then & next week.

    Jalisco's was open like normal.  I had my usual burrito & asked for a second one.  Ate half & brought the other half home.

    Got home in time for CNN with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen.  I enjoy their banter & humour.

    KN is coming over tomorrow & I am going to have him remove my ice machine.  Then I can start my new one.  It is smaller & less heavy.

    I'm fighting tears.  The holidays about to do me in.  Starting at Thanksgiving I have lost (in order)---- bestie of many years Peter; Willie; Mom; another bestie John; Nico;  bestie José moved far away.  Will never recover from his leaving.  And take into consideration my kids have rejected me & threatened me more than once & I almost had to call the police.  And my son has 2 kids I am forbid to have any interaction with them.  Plus they vandalise Willie's grave.

    There is no celebration in this area for NYE.  I just go with NYC.  When they are in the new year then so am I,  And I can go to bed.

    I am drinking a rum & Coke.  Quite good.  Raspberry rum.  Yummy.  Cinder sitting next to me.  Got a kitty kiss.  Kisse rarely does that but sometimes.

    I will try not to cry until I an in bed.

    NYE photos tonight & probably tomorrow.  

                            

Miss him so much.

Always miss my Oso.  Daily.  (José's nickname)

Ha.  I have no chance.  Cannot imagine anyone who would love me or want me in his life.
