Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 203....

I got my flu shot yesterday. The hospital had a drive through clinic. Super easy. No appointment needed. Hope they do it next year. But last night I had a reaction to it. No big deal. It has happened before. I felt super hot, achy. My arm is sore today. With Covid I got paranoid but my temp was 97. All is well today.

Nothing today. A usual monday. Nico was a mess last night and today. No idea why. Tonight he is into everything.

More itching today. Gets so old. But could be worse and it is only my problem so no biggie.

Photos today are from a Road Trip, Part 1 - Two churches.

       

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 202....

A great day!!! And very busy!

JR and I started the day with lunch at Jalisco's. JS was cooking in the kitchen something extra. So besides my shrimp dinner, I had a bowl of frijoles charro. It was heaven!!! I ordered him to serve this more often!!

While eating I got a text from JR2 about having coffee after lunch. I agreed but I had other things to do first. The hospital had a drive through flu shots. Great idea!! I was in and out within 15 minutes. Then I rushed home to take Nico out and feed him and Kisse.

JR2 and I met at the White Peacock. They were really busy so we went out in the courtyard. It was quiet and peaceful. Love it there. But the gnats were bad and it turned cool so we went inside and there was another friend GE. The three of us had a great visit. Need more time like that!

I bought a sandwich for supper. I got ham with mayo and lingon. Anything with lingon is good!!

I turned Acorn TV back on. I picked a new series on there. And it is in both English and Swedish. Called Wistling. Then I turned to Dead Still. All English.

Photos today are in the Peacock.

      

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 201....

Quiet day. Great weather. They even said we had a little shower. I saw no traces of it. Highs were in the 60s. Chilly night. Loving it.

Slept fair last night but no matter how long or well I sleep I always have that wonderful RA fatigue. And no one truly understands how I feel. I give up trying to explain. They can believe whatever they want.

Long day with no calls or texts. Used to it but sort of makes for a difficult day. But JS shared a video of him working and welding. Interesting. I did not know. Now I do.

Could not get my TV and Hopper to work tonight. I did a lot of stuff thinking the cat had pulled a cord or something. But it was only almost dead batteries in my remote. I usually get a message or two but must have missed them. Now all is good.

Photos today are from a road trip with a friend a couple of years ago.

      

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 200....

200 DAYS. Unbelievable. I see no end in site. Almost 7 months. There is nothing on the news that is encouraging. Nothing.

Great weather. Highs in the 60 and lows in the 40s. Awesome! We have a chance of rain in 2 weeks. Hahaha. 

Poor sleep. Day was cancelled except for supper.

JR and I had supper at Jalisco's. They were pretty busy, JS still had time to joke with me. Helps me more than he can ever know.

The weird stuff on my farm continues. Last night Nico got viciously scared and barked at the bedroom window. This was the worst. It was worse than a rabbit eating. We went outside not long after. Something had peed on the front porch by our door. Really?! Nico ran all over the carport, sniffing, hair on end, etc. I have no words or thoughts.

Photos today are just internet photos of heart shaped things. None are mine. Just things I like.

      

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 199....

Not too bad of a day. Great weather. Loving it. High in the 60s. Warmer tomorrow and next week. Not too warm.  

Had errands to run. Needed money in the bank. Then I picked up a burger and fries for lunch. So much better than cooking. 

Sat outside tonight with Nico. A bit chilly after supper.

I had ordered a sort of lounging dress but it was for cool weather. Have it on. Very nice. And warm.

There are strange happenings on my farm. We have always had crows living here, usually in the SW corner of my farm. At night Nico sometimes barks at the bedroom window. The other night he was vicious sounding. Then we went out later and he kept looking at the tall weeds, growling, hair standing up, etc. I saw or heard nothing. But he did. The next day the crows were in my front yard to the NE. They were like on a party line --- all talking at once loudly! Nico looked over that same way, growling, hair standing up, etc. Again at tall weeds. Hmmm.

Photos today are carvings by my great grandmother known as Grandma Larkins. She started carving in Sweden as a child. She carved for the King. She was married there and had 2 daughters. Then divorced. Three years later she had another daughter. She had no spouse or significant other that we know of. That little girl died as a baby. She came to the US and met my great grandfather in Ark City. Then they moved to McPherson KS. She would trade her cavings for groceries and had some displayed there for sale. Children would come to watch her carve. She always had the old curvy Christmas candy for them. She had a bucket of broken glass she would put her carvings in and move them around to smooth them. She died before I was born. Photos are from a retrospective of her work. My brother and I had many carvings of ours in it. I want all the work of hers we have to go to that museum. There is no family here that is interested in family stuff. Very sad. And I would be scared they would just sell them since they are greedy.

The last photo is a delightful photo of my grandson and I. We are a lovely pair!!! Haha!
