Surviving the Pandemic, Day 415....


Not a bad day. Great weather. Not hot and humid. Not cold and icy. Perfect. Should have cleaned out my car!

Had an appointment at my eye doctor. In one routine test my left eye always does poorly. So on occasion I go in for a similar test but on a huge machine. Both eyes seemed good. Too many doctors' appointments.

I treated myself to a sundae and coke at Sonic. So worth the appointment and test.


When I got home Kisse was beyond cuddly. Nico was busy elsewhere. Such a nice moment. Nico is too jealous.


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

Photos are a couple taken today and others taken recently.

Surviving the Pandemic, Day 414....

 Had a good day.


Nico was so odd last night. He kept wanting something, but I know not what. He had people food, dog food, dog treats, outside. Drove me crazy. Then in bed he was restless and laid his head on my pillow. He never does that. He went out to just look around. Then soon after, out again and pottied and then we both slept. What a night.


Worked at the Old Mill. My boss, LL and I had a good visit. I got a lot done. Saved some photos for me.



JR and I ate supper at Jalisco's. They were pretty busy. Always good to eat Mexican on Cinco de Mayo.

On the way home there was pretty cool clouds. We got sprinkles.

I got invited for a Mother's Day dinner from my grandson and his girl friend and family. New family for me. I am excited.


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

Surviving the Pandemic, Day 413....

Had a good day. Got really cool last night. Finally needed some heat. Nice weather today. Sat out with Nico. My nephew drove over to feed cows so we had a nice visit. Always good to see him.


Had therapy today. Good session. She asked about Dad and mom and WWI. Then we talked about serious stuff.

Mother's Day has been sort of bothering me. I really do not to think about it or participate in any way. I want to be left alone. It is for the best now that my kids and I have agreed to part ways, a mutual decision.

My silly female bird boarder is so like me. She is early to roost and the last to go forage for food. So cute.


I find my therapy and my journal are a god-send. The only 2 places where I can truly be me, say my truth. Thanks for both. They are my support group.

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


Took flower photos for my blog tonight. I have no garden but there a flowers everywhere if you look.

Surviving the Pandemic, Day 412....

  Very quiet day. High in the 60's. Same for the low. Had light rain overnight. Radar looked impressive but it didn't do much here. Rain again tonight. Maybe.


Nico and I were out for a while. I carried trash out. Where is my brother when I need him? (-:


My first iris bloomed. See photo. Have very few irises left. But my biggest iris is now 2-3 plants and 3 buds and a flower. A much smaller variety one was one tiny pathetic plant. Today it is 4 plants now. There is hope. No buds yet.

Photos are from last November, except for the iris collage.

Surviving the Pandemic, Day 411....

 

A good day. Nice temp but strong winds. Sick of wind. Storms later. Severe storms now in the far west. Nothing severe here, so they say.

JS started texting me at 10Am. Teasing and making me laugh! And he continued when I came in to eat. Good to laugh. Glad he checks on me to make sure I am ok and to let me know he is ok. A good friend.

JR and I ate at Jalisco's. They were busy with both in house people and take out orders. We had a nice lunch. good visit!


I do Spanish lessons every night. I learned a new word and used it to day. Use it or lose it. The lessons now are pretty easy now. If I make an error it is my stupidity. The last grouping was awful. I thought I would never get past them! I finally wrote down what I had trouble with. That helped.

Nico and I sat out for an hour or so. Nice out. Not much wildlife to see though.


I have had a little sparrows who sleep under my carport roof. The one disappeared a few weeks ago. Last night a new bird joined my usual one. New mate?


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

I took no photos today. Not in the mood. So my photos today are a new one in Jalisco's and the others are from last October.

Surviving the Pandemic, Day 410....

Very quiet day. Just home. Nico and I sat outside for an hour or so. He liked it. I took some photos and cut weeds near my irises and peonies. I have 4 iris buds on one plant. Hope what I have spreads.

One photo I took I captured a flying turkey. Very lucky.


Earlier there was a rabbit under the car. It ran but then up near the house was a tiny baby rabbit. so cute!


I had things to do tonight but I cut my finger. Will not use it and let it heal. It hurt for a while!

While sitting outside a good friend from Guatemala video chatted with me. So nice to see him. I got to see his home and sister. Love modern technology.

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


Photos today are taken by me. Look for the vulture! I did not take the pink rose photos. In wedding articles from early 1900s man of them mention Ophelia roses. So I googled them and these are what I found.
