                          Nico was a baby in this photo.

National Pet Memorial Day

Nico was my sweet baby.  He died the first week of January this year.  I think of him all the time.  My heart is always in pain missing him.  I have chosen not to replace him.  My 2 cats take care of me & my heart.

Today's Name Day: Alma, Hulda

    Not a good day.  I got no sleep last night.  I was so sure I would have a good nap.  That did not happen either.  No idea why.  So I feel irresponsible & unworthy.  I wanted to eat out so bad.  JR should be royally upset with me.  I hate it when my body fails me.  Getting worse.

    Weather was good.  In the 50s last night.  Today was in the 80s.  No humidity so it feels ok.  They took out all chances of rain this week.  No bueno.  One weather app shows lots of rain in 2 weeks.  I am not believing that.

    Cinder had the chair/blanket under her control.  So Kisse slept in bed all night.  First curled up by my legs then on a blanket at the end of my bed.  She seems happy there.  Every so often she wants lots of petting.  No problem.  Small request.

    I have a water leak & I just called KN & tuesday he will fix.  Good.  Water bill takes my breath away.  I do not deserve him at all.  He is the best.  Thought was washer was broke but I was wrong.  So far ok.

    I must sleep tonight.  Will take a pill.  Have places to go tomorrow.  No excuses will work.

    I got my minutes written today for my historical group.  Wonder how many errors they can find & throw at me.  Last meeting I was talked down to about something not being in the minutes.  But it was not in our meeting.  Happened between meetings.  Duh!!!  And our meeting is tuesday during the debate.  I am not happy.  Guess I could tape it in case something spectacular happens.  GRRRR.

    Photos are some autumn/flowers & edited ones.

National Beer Lover's Day

This is honor of Willie.  He loved beer for many years.  I never did.  Gives me a headache.

Today's Name Day: Kevin, Roy

    Another very quiet day.  Very few texts.  Tis my life.

Cinder slept with me off & on all night.  Plus she had control of the chair/blanket.  Kisse slept on my bed often during the night.  I like that.  And she is better about me turning or getting comfy instead of leaving.

    Weather was super nice.  Low in the 50s.  Our high was 75.  If it would just stay this way.  I slept good in the cool air.  Now it is 66 outside.  Feels good outside.  Scant chance of rain this next week as we get drier & drier.  Awful.  I would hate to plant wheat in this dry weather.

    Played with photos again.  Nice to entertain myself, when there is no one to talk to.  Think my great niece played volleyball today.  Hope they did good.  Sharing some I edited & autumn photos I have saved.

                                

I took the flower photo

I took this photo of my front yard

Piece of art on a friend's fence.  I copied a photo of it as they live to far away to get a real photo.  Like it.

Here is the process I go through to create these ones I like in case anyone is curious.

 National I am in Control Day

(or I think I am!!)

Today's Name Day: Holger, Holmfrid

    Today was ok.  Tired of feeling sickly.  Another cold front coming.  I can feel it.  Sore feet, sore hip, sore shoulders, sore hands. You would think I would get used to it at some point.  Hahaha!  Even my stomache is not behaving.  Not felt good since I had that awful  flu for 2 weeks

    I slept good last night.  Finally.  Not too hot & not too cold.  Hope tonight is good too,

    JR & I went to the SVAFC.  Last weekend for this months show.  I had worked it so I had seen it but had a great talk with one of the bosses.  I don't see her often enough,  Fun,.

    Supper was at Pizza Hut.  I had pasta & garlic bread.  But dessert was at Indigo Moo'd.  Love their ice cream.  Soo good!!  Stomach behaved tonight.

    Finally something good on tv ---- SNL.  Sort of a weird show though.  Tired of sports.  Hopefully next week is better.

    Tomorrow is Easter.  I get to spend part of the day with my grandson & great grandsons.  Looking forward to it.  I cannot spend the entire day with them,  My stomache is just not healthy enough to eat that much food.  I try to be so careful.  Hope I improve without surgery.  And I am tired all the time.

    I miss doing the usual things I always used to do on Easter.  I know life goes on but I still miss it.

    When JR & I left Indigo Moo'd a family was walking in.  I recognized them.  Nice people.  But tonight the husband reminded me of Willie.  He really looked liked him tonight.  All Falun farmers tend to resemble each other.  But tonight it truly hit me how much they look like each other.  I think the holiday weekend, a sick friend, too many old photos on FB memories of times when we got to see our grandkids.  Not allowed to be part of their lives for several years.  It all hit me hard tonight.  I sobbed all they way driving home.  I try to ignore all I am missing but here I sit all alone..  I have new family that are 100% better than the old hateful ones who scare me..  But I still miss what I don't have.  Dang.

    Photos tonight are Easter themed pictures.
