National Floral Design Day

Today's Name Day:  Maja, Maria

    Today was an odd Wednesday off!  The staff all went to Manhattan for a meeting.  So I worked yesterday.  Good to know I can switch days.  There is another worker who does that same work as me but I do not know his day.  He goes to college so might be saturday.  Need to find out.

    I slept like a baby last night.  Cinder was snuggled on or near me all night.  Perfect.  It got very cold so I had the heat on & I was perfectly comfy.  Cinder was almost under the blankets also at one point.

    Today got in the 40s.  Normal but it won't last.  The awful 80s will return to the delight of those who love hot humid days.  And bugs.  Wish I could move away from here.

    I really do not feel like I belong in my own town any more.  I do not fit in anywhere.  I feel good in Jalisco's, SVAFC, & the Old Mill.  I am sort of ok in the White Peacock, even alone.  But no where else.  Lots of groups of like minded people exist but I am not part of any of them nor ever included at any time.  Guess I not supposed to be part of anything.  Just invisible.

    I was outside briefly.  The cattle were back near my yard.  The pond was calm.  I should have sat outside a while.  Maybe tomorrow.

    There is a huge wildfire in Texas & Oklahoma that is the size of Rhode Island.  People have lost homes, belongings plus need hay for their cattle.  One video showed a herd of cattle running from the fire.  Broke my heart.  How awful.  Years ago there was a giant fire near here.  A friend had a pasture of cattle in it.  Willie went to help load them in our cattle trailor.  But there was not time.  They cut the fence & let them run.  Rounded them up the next day.  Very scary.  Long before cellphones.  We wives had no idea what was going on.  Scary memory.

    I texted everyone today.  Tired of waiting for them.  Eventually I heard from most of them.  I even had a video chat with JS.  I miss him so much.  Miss talking to him.  Decided I am going to text whether he can answer or not.  Good for both of us.  Wish he was closer so I could see him sometimes.  Just do not want to drive that far alone.  I am always alone.

    I was hoping to visit someone tomorrow but I probably won't.  Probably not this week at all,

    Too much sickness around here.  One person I know is sick & needs to see the doctor but they don't have time.  Sad.  Maybe it is good I stay home a lot.  Maybe should put a mask on again.

    Cinder was out of her favorite food & it came today.  Snarfed it down.  Kisse does not like it.  She is much harder to please.

    Cinder is on my lap now.  How to write my blog???  I slid her just off of me.  She is mulling that over with a scowl

    Photos are a mix of nothing special.

                        

Yes, this is a real photo of Nico.  Has his bed fixed to his liking!!!!

    Had a quiet night.  Slept good, not too warm or cold.  Surrounded by my fur kids.  Bless them!  The weather was supposed to be wet.  Ha.  Nary a drop of anything, not even dew here.  Maybe next week.  Maybe.

    Nico seems normal now.  Hope he is ok.  He still is careful about jumping up on the bed/sofa or jumping down.  So his hind leg must still be a little sore.

    I have heard from both grandsons today.  Was supposed to pick one up at his work tomorrow but he has other plans.  I am disappointed but hopefully another day soon.  Miss him.

    My other grandson is ill & injured.  I am worried.  Hope he gets it all fixed & worked out.  Wish I could help but not much I can do.

    I have these small tv dinners I eat often.  Easy to fix & filling.  Tonight I got creative.  I heated a beef, mashed potatoes, & gravy ones.  Then I poured it over a slice of homemade bread.  It was almost as good as what I had in Yoder.  Have to do it more often.

    Had a nice nap today.  Killed time so I just don't think about being alone all the time.  Did not sit out too long.  Breeze is chilly.  But Nico & Cinder played a little bit.  Cinder likes it out but has to keep coming in to eat.  She is spoiled.

    Photos today are from Lindsborg KS, my town.  They are older photos.

                    

23 october, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Today is a good day!!  I actually feel almost normal.  I slept all night & took a nice nap.  I do not apologize for resting as needed.  I am not as congested.  Just an occasional coughing spell.  Allergies are better.  I am less scared & depressed.  Still hard to be totally alone.

    I was pleasantly surprised that a friend on FB actually reads my blog.  Most do not.  I write my blog for me, not who reads.  She has Covid now also.  Her note made me feel lots better.  Nice to know I am not alone.  And my boss writes to me almost daily since she had it also.  Small gestures that are actually huge.

    Our weather is changing.  It stayed far too warm over night.  It was in the 70s.  Today it got to 85.  Much better tomorrow.  And the wind!!!  Dust was blowing heavily everywhere.  Weeds were bent over.  I love the weather apps that say our wind was 20mph.  Ha.  Not even close.  More like 40-50mph.  Have not heard of any major fires.  That is good.  There is rain around but who knows if we get any.  Like usual, I a sure not.

    I have errands to run tomorrow but they do not involve seeing anyone.  I am getting me a drive through lunch.  I need groceries but have to decide what day.

    Photos are free photos from an app I use.  I did some minor edits.
