This one was done by a coworker's daughter.  She is a great artist!!  Hope it is still there when I work on wednesday.

Today's Name Day:  Artur, Douglas

    Not a good day for me.  Have been reviewing my life, or lack of one when home.  Things to do but no one to help or no one that will offer to help.  As usual, if it needs to be done no matter how heavy or big, it is up to me.  I used to get offers of help but those days are gone.  No kids or grandkids.  One grandson lives far away.  I am pretty sure I won't see him ever again.  The other grandson would try to help if I asked but with 3 kids & 2 jobs,  I won't be a burden.  My problem, no one else needs to worry.  Just me having a pity party here.  Lunch was good.  Several slices of meat & part of a strawberry cake.  Tried to nap but only had tears.  And Cinder snuggles.  Thankful for my cats.

    Enough said from me,  Pictures are from the chalk the town yesterday.  I borrowed some good ones.

    First ones are all at the Old Mill.  Some are done by a coworker's daughter.

    

The next ones were on our walking trail.  When you registered you were assigned a square to draw in.  No design could be permanently saved.  They are here until we get rain.

This next one is downtown.  Love it!

This last one on the walking trail has a good friend of mine in it.  The best ever!!!

Halloween

Photo is me.  Called by several on FB as Miss Kitty.

Today's Name Day: Edgar, Edit

    Had a quiet day.  Did have a nice surprise.  Both of my trash bins had blown over on their side with 54mph winds.  I chose to ignore until I needed to use one of them.  Looked outside this afternoon & both were upright.  I assume it was KN.  I sent him a message to see if it was him.  Very nice.

    Great weather today.  Not hot, no wind, perfect.  I even slept good last night with no pain.

    I had a nap & after it Cinder has cuddled a lot.  Best part of my day.  

Got photos of my grandkids.  All little kids march through town & all the shops pass out candy.  Fun.  Photos of my 3 great grandsons plus my grandson working as a bartender today.  He is on the left.

A friend got videos of the kids walking in town.  Wish I had been there.  Always cool.

    There was more communicating with Halloween.  Good for my day.  Fun to see what others created and/or shared.

    My photos today are all Halloween.  I miss having kids out here but not too much.  I was going to take photos at night of decorations but never got it done.  Sometimes the pain wins..

National Chocolate Day

Today's Name Day: Simon, Simone

    Had a so-so day.  Far too quiet after such a fun weekend.  😔  Only emails with a friend.  I love hearing from her.

    Did not sleep as good as I wanted but I did get a good nap with Cinder. She curled up with me twice.

    I had an interesting dream this afternoon.  I worked in a bar serving food & drinks.  There was a sweet little boy & his mom in there.  Seating was like picnic tables.  The town streets were dirt.  Willie came in all young & happy.  He was wearing a coat he had at that age.  He looked good.  We both did & I could walk without pain.  A large group of his friends came in.  The husbands were so friendly with me but not the wives.  So true to real life.  I thought I would only wait on the men but then decided I would wait on all of them despite their rudeness.  No need to stoop to their level!!!

    Trash day tomorrow so I had several bags to carry outside.  Almost too much for me to do.  Only have boxes between my bins so one bin is empty.  I have ordered some bungee straps to use on my bins.  Can fill one with boxes then.  But I only have me to depend on so I managed.  No choice.  Not like there is a line of caring people waiting to help me.  😏

    I even actually cooked supper.  Had pasta with sweet & sour sauce.  Not too bad.  I am full & not sick from eating.  Without being told how to eat.  Like I don't have a clue.

    Poor Cinder.  She wanted so sit on my lap but I cannot blog then.  She will survive.  Soon she can snuggle.

    Coolish last night.  Not cool enough.  House was stuffy.  Too warm today.  In the 80s.  Winds up to 30 mph.  Worse tomorrow.  At least 3 fires in the state.

    Pictures are all winter ones & one Halloween.

National Grouch Day

If you are a grouch, today is your special day. According to Sesame Street Magazine, the day celebrates all grouches and their way of life. 

Today's Name Day: Hedvig, Hillevi

    Had an ok day.  Nothing special.  Got too much mail today.  Big boxes.  Sheesh.  I got all my boxes organised.  Have to try to make sure they don't blow.  I can hope, but the wind is already blowing.  And one box moved.  I moved the boxes back & shoved the bins in to the boxes tightly.  I have one box that is quite heavy. I put it on them.  Hope that helps.

    Got pretty cold last night.  In the 40s.  Freeze warning for my part of Kansas.  Low 30s or 20s.  There are a couple of places maybe teens.  I left my heat where I had it but I was chilly today.  But the sunshine warmed the house up.  The day tomorrow will not be freezing.  Just the night.

    Our rain has been pushed to early next week & not as strong.  I could have forecast that.  We need moisture so badly.  Not the weatherman's fault but I hate to even listen to them.

    Heard from MM again.  I am grateful to have him.  He remembers me almost daily.  Nice not to be forgotten.

    My eyes are not normal but not as bad as they were.  Have not sneezed either.  That comes & goes.

    I am so tired of politics.  It all makes me so scared.  I have enough  stress.

    Photos are from Unsplash.  Something different.  I did a search for Castle.  I got parts of castles.  And I liked them.
