    Busy day for me.  After lunch I headed to Falun to vote.  Wonder if my vote will matter.  I am scared of the outcome.

    After voting I headed to the bank to get a bank check for taxes.  Hope this is the end of it.

    I drove around town to take photos for the blog tonight.  There are some pretty trees in town but none in my yard or area.    

    Cinder has been gone all day.  I am worried.  Hope she is just hunting since it is warm out.  I am getting upset.

    Had my historical group tonight.  Board meeting at 530pm.  Far too early!!  Then lunch/snacks at 630pm.  Program after food.  It was a so-so program.  

    I did not feel very good tonight.  Had a bad coughing spell.  Then a cold front is arriving & some of my joints are now hurting.  A friend of mine having pains.  Glad to be home.

    Watching MSNBC.  Some good & some bad.  Texas governor is no surprise.  I say no more.  Should be obvious.  I wonder how bad things are here.  Will watch at 10pm.

    Photos tonight are all from Lindsborg.

    Had a good day.  More sleep last night.  Less coughing & less pain.  But right before supper & had a dreadful coughing spell.  I about retched.  Had a tickle in my throat that would not quit.  Got better & ate supper with no problems.

    Nice weather with some winds.  Slim chance for rain tomorrow.  Sure it will miss us here.  Snow in the northern states.  Jealous!

    I had time for a short nap.  Needed it.  So did Nico!  He thinks!

    Nico had an appointment at the vet hospital to get his nails trimmed.  Many weeks overdue thanks to me having Covid.  Could not be helped.  I saw he has lost 3 pounds.  Yay!!!  NO catfood & very little people food.  Makes me feel good.

    Nico was better than usual in the car.  We need to drive around more often.  His vet app't was for 4pm.  I had groceries I set for 5pm.

    I try to shop local but I am really sick of ordering groceries & not getting what I order.  One particular thing I rarely get that I like & want.  If it is popular, order more!!!  Duh!  So I ordered from Dillon's.  Right away it told me one thing I wanted they were out of.  Very nice to know.  I was way early because the vet did not take long.  I thought I would just sit & wait at Dillon's.  But one of the delivery guys was close to my car & I asked if I could call in early.  He took my name & went to get my stuff.  Very nice of him.  Most likely go back more often.  And they have cake they sell 2 slices at a time.  I missed it.  Tastes so good.

    Nico had to get into stuff & found a package of his treats.  It was already open so he got his own treat.  No doubt he will hide the others unless I get up & take it away.  He should be tired.

    Voting day tomorrow & a trip to a bank for a bank check.  Paid taxes & I know I had enough money but by the time they decided to cash it, I did not.  Hence, a bank check is needed.  What fun!!

    Photos today are of art work.  I have a friend who posts lots of art photos.  I selected some I personally like to share.  Need to do that more often.  Also took a shot of how many people looked at my blog & where they are from.

    Not a bad day. I'm exhausted from pain & coughing.  My ribs almost felt better yesterday but then I had a coughing spell.  Back to square one.

    It was nice to eat at Jalisco's.  And great to see everyone there.  My appetite was even better.  Not for supper though.

    Nice weather.  Not too cold or too hot.

    I had lost my notes, etc. from my last historical meeting.  And while I had Covid I really did not care.  But we meet on tuesday so now I care.  They were where I was sure they were.  But trying to get it all written up while Nico was staring at me & scratching on my leg was not good.  We had supper, he had food/treats & he is still being a brat.  I desperately need an anxiety pill!!  But only allowed one a day.  Save it for bedtime.

    I tried to take a nap but failed.  Not as tired as I thought.  And too much on my mind.  No lectures for me today!

    Some trees in town have red leaves but my trees do not.  Very sad.  My one tree is bare.  The other has many leaves but not pretty.

    My sense of humor is coming back.  I actually chuckled at SNL last night.  

    I always talk to Willie when I pass by the cemetery.  Today it really hit me wrong.  I cried all the way home.  And then some.  It is so difficult to live alone.  Both my front doors are sort of broke & they won't get better.  I am clueless on what to do.  I just cannot keep bothering my nephew.  No one else.  Or no one who has a clue how to fix them.  It sucks to be stupid & helpless.  And my water heater.........  Still only cold water.  Covid stopped that install in its tracks.  Drives me nuts.  No where for me to turn with out tons of guilt feelings.  Willie should be here.  We should be enjoying life together.

    Today would have been Dad's 106th birthday.  I remember when my grandfather would have been over 100.  I told Mom & she could not believe he could be so old.  Now she is creeping up on 100.

    Photos are a mix.  Nothing special.
