Wandering Through Life 15 june 2021

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

    Too hot again. I saw 101F in my car. Luckily the humidity has been in the 20-3o% range. Getting worse this week. Cold front on Friday with highs in the mid to upper 90s. Cold front???

    Photos taken today except for the last two.

Lindsborg. Two fire trucks went by with sirens and lights. When I went home I saw nothing,

Therapist's office

Church in Wichita. It is gorgeous. I want to go back for a saturday night service in Spanish.

Wandering through a pandemic, Day 434....

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

Had an ok day. Slept so-so.

Weather was too warm for me, over 80 F. A bit humid. This evening had a short heavy rain. Glad the storm was less severe here.

Tuesday most generally therapy day. We talked about my childhood, my parents, my grandparents, family. I realised there are reasons why I never felt like I belong anywhere or felt like I belong anywhere. Started as a toddler. Interesting. Not sure those feelings will ever leave. I wish they would. We talked about my grandfather and nice things he did for me I never knew about as a child. And talked about my pets. Also talked about my husband and his friends when we dated. Fun times. We did talk a little about my children.

My cold is better. Still congested but no cough for 2 days. Normal would be nice. And I no longer consider going without a mask. How can I know who is vaccinated and who isn't. And who is honest!

Life Improving? No masks? Day 427....

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

I am better over all. Slept well after taking an anxiety pill. My head has quit buzzing. But. Coughing and sneezing constantly.

My therapist said lots of kids in school have colds, not allergies. When she said that I am pretty sure who gave me this cold. I was in close proximity to a large group of preteen girls. Hmmm.

Therapy was good. Talked of good things last week. And she was glad I asked for help. I hate to but I did.

A little girl looked at me today and squealed in delight. Said she liked my mask with Mickey Mouse on it. Huh? My mask was a sunflower but I checked in my mirror and looked at my mask. Yep, there were several Mickeys. Will share a photo.

I picked up groceries after therapy. Good to have food and Pepsis in my house.

All photos taken today.

Surviving the Pandemic, Day 401....

 Sort of a busy day. A little low on sleep. Almost got to freezing last night. Breezy today. Nothing remarkable.

Treated myself to an unplanned lunch at Jalisco's. I needed friendly faces today. After lunch I saw my therapist. She is the best. We talked life and life changes in depth. And I was pleasantly surprised at her compliments on how I have handled life. I rarely think anything good about me. She also praised several of my friends and family.

Yesterday I heard a woodpecker. He was really close. It was a red headed woodpecker and he was on my old shed. I could see his red head!! So pretty.

Yesterday I made the decision to cancel my weekend plans, that included boarding Nico. So last night I "told" Nico he was staying home and I was staying home. So my" aura" changed and he was like a new dog.

Always be kind. Wear a mask. Avoid toxic situations.

Photos today were taken during the last couple of days and edited.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 378....

Had a good day. Fell asleep late but then slept good.

Had therapy today. What a nice experience to have great news to tell her. Not sure how or why things have changed. The two ladies who changed my life are not new in my life. What changed between us? I am so grateful. But still inside things are a little the same. Easy to feel depressed. Still feel on the outside almost all the time. I miss family and time with them. I miss friends to share time with. And that is what we discuss.

Had time for a quick nap. Nico liked that! Kitty stayed close also.

Then up and onward to Dillon's for groceries. Got all I need but no lunch meat. How could I forget?

Tonite I had Marie Callendar's Swedish meatballs over noodles. Needed lingon otherwise was good. I cheated and ordered Peeps! Well, it is Easter.

Easter does not seem like anything anymore. No singing Messiah. Only the best get to sing. Certainly not me!

The wind is still howling but from the north. Best wind. I feel nothing on the south of my house.

 Always be kind.

Photos are spring-type ones. The large white manor house is a castle in Sweden that was built by my 16th great grandfather. I have been there twice.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 357....

 

My day was ok but had trouble sleeping. Tried to nap later and failed.

Today was therapy. And I did my homework. It is hard to talk about how I want my life but have my doubts things will change. It was fun to have a group of friends in the past.

JS and I video chatted twice. He had some news and just wanted to say hello. I liked his news.

Think I get to see my grandson tomorrow. Been over a year. Miss him.

Weather was warm but those gale force winds are getting old. Weatherman says heavy rain and possibly severe storms this weekend.

Always be kind to others.

Photos are a mix today. Some are edited.

This is my dream house in Marstrand Sverige.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 350....

Had a fun and busy day. Met JS this morning and late afternoon. Had a chance to visit and with my neighbor too.

Had therapy but I neglected to do my homework. Mostly because I was sick for 4 days. But we discussed things from my past life.

After therapy I met J R2 at the White Peacock for tea. And I had at least 10 huge boxes for her. Good to see her.

Very nice weather but too windy. Nico and I sat out twice. While out the second time my nephew and my grandnephew came over checking cattle. Good to see both.

While at the Peacock a friend came in. Had not seen him in a year. I miss him. Stupid virus.

 Always be kind to others.

Photos are from a year ago.
