Happy Caturday!!!

Today's Name Day: Teodor, Teodora

My favorite grandfather was Theodore or Grandpa Ted.  I can still hear him laugh & see him smile.

    Had a so-s0 day.  Slept ok last night.  If I used my knee pillow I had no pain.    

    Did not hear from too many people.  Grandson CF actually wrote to me.  That is a first.  Been forever.  That was nice.  My friend who has had cancer that I have fretted over got word he is in full remission.  Wonderful.  He can now live a more normal life.  Had photos of him & his girlfriend.  Maybe I can meet her now.  And in the mail today I got my safety pins to wear.  Good.

    I spent the afternoon redoing all my FB friends.  Deleted a few.  Moved many around to what they can & cannot see.  No need to be open in the world we life with now.  The world is too treacherous.

    No rain today.  Our total was 127".  Pretty awesome.  Chance of rain midweek.  Chances are more tonight than they were earlier.  Then next weekend also.

    TV just plain sucks today.  I have my Dish TV on channel 198.  It is a Vintage Ski Town Dish Scape.  The music is really nice & comforting.  And if you pay attention there are lots of cool things.  A dog, a deer, car & truck, skiers, snow & changes from day to night.  Here is a photo of it I took.  Right now for me it is night & skiers coming down the mountains.  Sad though. Might be the only snow I get to see.  😞

     I went to get the mail & managed not to fall.  I did injure myself though last night.  My right hand is sore & i have a spot on my head that is sore to touch.  Never bled though.  Just sore to touch.  And no headache.

    Today in Lindsborg was Holiday Open House.  I just stayed home.  No fun to wander around with no one to talk to.  And I have no gifts I need to buy since we don't celebrate holidays ---- no family, no house to be in.  Hell to grow old.

    JR shared a video with me about Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands where our father was stationed for a while.  It was one of the most important airfields of WWII.  Now they are preparing to reopen it again but protecting all the historical parts of it. I am sure Dad is watching what is happening.  I am crying.  Look it up to why it is important.

    Time for my spanish lesson.  Long one tonight.  Pictures are all free ones & rainy.

    

Wandering, 06 february 2022

    Not my favorite day today.  Home all day.  I think nothing has gone right.

    Last night.  Could I sleep?  Of course not.  Nico was a ball of energy.  I would almost relax and start to sleep.  It was like he knew.  He had to walk over me or get down on the floor.  And scratch on the bed to get my attention.  I was up numerous times with him.  At least Kisse causes fewer problems.

    I took everything I had for sleep.  Nothing helped.  I finally texted my brother that I would not be in town for lunch.  I also texted a good friend but he never read it.  Guess he figured it all out.

    I slept some this morning but laid down for a nap and nothing.  Again Nico was a pest.  He finally went to sleep but not me.  I gave up again.  I got up and washed my hair.  It is now dry.

    Hoping to eat out tomorrow.  Maybe I could take me out at noon and JR at supper.  That would be rude!!  I do want to go to Salina and get either fried chicken or BBQ to bring home.  Maybe tomorrow or tuesday.  Both are to die for.

    Weather is ok.  It got down to 22F and up to 51F.  I was cold all day.  Turned the heat way up when in the shower.  Feeling better now.

    I hope something stops the tragedy awaiting to happen in the Ukraine.  So sad and scary.  Prayers and thoughts are not going to make a difference at all.

    Olympics are on again.  Watching the luge now.  I like it.  Last night I saw NZ  win their first gold medal.  I have NZ family.  Very cool!!

    Photos today are from one of my many trips to Hutchinson before Covid.  I saw an acupuncturist.  No idea if she is still there.

                    

Wandering, 15 january 2022

    Our blizzard was not much.  We had at least 40mph winds all night.  There was a mix of snow and freezing rain.  My yard was white but Nico never left a footprint anywhere.  Kept my water dripping and that worked.  Can turn them off tomorrow.  Never got above freezing today and little sun.

    Early morning the prairie was pretty.  My pond is still frozen.  Strong north wind stirred up the prairied grasses.  Everything had a thin layer of ice on it.  The birds were quiet.  All I saw were the bulls in one pasture.

    I am still a bit sore from my fall.  Did not sleep well last night.  I finally took a pill and that helped.  I was just restless.  My bedroom was too warm.  Finally turned the heat way down.  That helped.

    Kisse was running on my bed often.  She did not want attention.  I finally turned on a light.  She was chasing a fly.  The warm weather wakes them up and they get in the house.  She just looks for them to play with.  What a mess she is!!

    My mood is rather down.  No real reason.  Just am.  Not the weather, just my life.  Some days it is hard to just accept what is.  It comes and goes.  Sure miss having my therapist.  Not looking for a new one.  I really do not want to have to tell a new one the mess my life and I am.  And I have no one else to talk to.

    Had an earthquake around 430am.  It was a 3.  I was awake and felt it.  Not too strong.  Always just east of my farm.  My bed rocked gently.  If you feel it there is a form you can fill out.  I have done that a couple of times.  Usually my FB group goes crazy when we have one but no one was aware.  I have an official app that I can check or they send me an email.  I do not think any of them have that app or even know about it.

   My photos today photos that I have taken in the past and edited them today.  Just something fun I like to do.

                    

                

Wandering Through Life 24 june 2021

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

    Again hot! High was 105F on one app. I never left the house. With very strong winds. Had a thunderstorm during the night with more forecast.

    Had my AC serviced this afternoon. Seems to control the temp better. Good.

    Found out I losing my therapist. I will proceed life alone. Too hard to find a good one. Been alone for a long time so nothing new.

     Photos are of my husband and one of our favorite dogs, Otto Jakob. And my legs are in a couple of photos! He used to sit on my lawn chair with me.

Wandering Through Life 20 june 2021

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

    Too hot. Again. I saw 100F here. The humidity is worse with wind. Like the wind. Keeps bugs away. Feels cooler tonight. A cold front?

    The 500 days of summer start this evening at 10:32pm CDT. Feels like we have already had 500 days of ungodly heat.

    Heard combines across the road from me and behind my house. I should have went to take photos but it would just upset me. Not my wheat, not my combines. And I have much increased pain and just not up to it.

    Photos are of Midsommarsdag in Sweden. Except for the photo of the lady. She appeared on Google and was a good friend of mine.
