    Still sick.  Declared another Jammie Day.  More like the flu today & not just my new shot I am taking.  My knee got very sore during the night & swollen.  Nice.  Not.  Got up to put on a pain patch. Better then.  And then finally slept.

    Nico finally got over being in a bad mood.  He & Cinder were in bed with me all night.  And Kisse was near me too.

    I went to sleep near morning.  I actually remembered all my dreams then.  I had 4 separate dreams in great detail.  Willie was in all of them.  I like that.  And a former friend & my daughter.  Did not like that.  And one of my neighbours.  That was cool.  I wrote notes about them & then wrote down details.

    I called in sick for work tomorrow.  I have trouble using my porch steps.  Basement steps at the Old Mill are scary to think about.  Next week will be ok.

    Got really sick this afternoon.  Certainly not fun.  I took some medicine & am some better.  See how supper sits with me.  Better I hope.

    Last night I watched a 3 hour show about the movie Back To The Future with the usual star of the Expedition show & Christopher Lloyd.  And many collectors of movie memorabilia.  And dozens of DeLoreans.  It was so fascinating.  I enjoyed it!  Glad I stumbled onto it.

    It has been cloudy all day.  And in the 40s.  There was rain but not here, of course.  More rain starting tomorrow night.  Here???

    With all the clouds, my photos today are of candles.  Cozy feeling.

    Today did not go as planned.  I slept pretty good.  But had to cancell the entire day & made this a Jammie Day!  My new med went to a full dose last week.  And I am now feeling it.  Having low blood sugar with it.  Today I lowed my insulin by a unit.  And my nausea is much worse.  It was hard finding something to eat for lunch.  I thought it was enough but it was not.  Supper went better but now it is not.

    I had a chiropractor appointment today.  Changed the day this week.  Could not go with a low sugar & a queasy stomach.  

    JR was going to come here to help me gather trash & more.  I cancelled him.  I managed to gather most of what needed to go out.  I had several bags already to go but with our strong winds I dared not put them out.  If one trash bin got tipped over the raccoons would have had a hay day!!  No strong winds today so be ok until morning.

    Nico & I took a nice nap.  Cinder was in at lunch time & never saw her until supper.  She is out now for a while.  She sure likes to nap in the house in the afternoons.  Kisse always lays close to Nico & I.

    Yesterday the weather high was 75F.  Today we hit 45F.  Much cooler.  Chance of rain for the next 3 days.  Probably dry here.  And where it is really needed has little chance also.

    My photos today are a cute one of Kisse this afternoon in her box.  The rest are to the day of how the farm looked one year ago.  What a change.  The young man in one photo is my nephew.

    I truly got no sleep last night until around 9am.  I even took something to help me sleep.  Sigh......  No bueno.  Not really restless.  Nico not a problem.  But he would not let Cinder in bed.  Dang.  She quit trying.  I was sad.

    Really warm today.  I saw 75F.  Too warm.  The summer people loved it.  Good for them.  I am still waiting for winter.

    Because of no sleep I skipped Jalisco's today.  JR & I had pizza tonight instead.  Just as we got out of our car, 2 of Jalisco's cooks walked up.  They live just a block away.  Good to see them.  I have never had so many hugs!  Kind of nice.  Hugs are very rare now.  One lost his brother-in-law last week.  He was telling me about it.  He was young.  Very sad.

    Cinder was in the house all afternoon.  Hiding some place & sleeping.  She just came in & back out as it is still nice.

    House got too warm.  I have the AC on just a little bit.  Feels better.

    I got a photos of Venus & Jupiter.  Not good.  Too many clouds in the west.  The other photos are sort of farm house themed.

    I had an ok night but no sleep until 7am.  Nico was a problem.  He had me outside several times for no apparent reason.  And he refused to let Cinder in bed.  Huh???  Finally around 4am, she made in to bed to snuggle.  What is wrong with him?

    I had things I needed & wanted to do.  Did nothing.  Not in the mood.  I really should have sat outside with Nico & Cinder, but not in the mood.  Sad.  Maybe tomorrow.  Maybe.

    The prairie was pretty this morning.  Just a hint of fog, the pond twinkling in the sun & breeze, cattle near me eating.  Just lovely.  Peaceful.

    I noticed this afternoon some summer bugs have returned.  I am clueless what they are & I have never seen one, but I can see where they live & trap food.  There is a strip of dirt under the carport roof.  These bugs have little deep round nests that get narrow in the bottom.  They trap food that way.  There are 2 very tiny ones there now.  Odd.  Flies & mosquitos are near then.

    I plan to try to video chat later this evening.  Hope he is home.  Supposed to be.

    Need to eat supper soon.  Had low blood sugar just a little while ago.

    Photos are a mix of things I like.  A couple I have edited.

    Not a bad day.  Too quiet.  I had a bad moment but survived.  The fur kids & I had a good nap.  Cinder cuddled most of last night.  She loves me & shows me often.

    JR & I were supposed to get my grandson from work today but someone else did.  So we were off the hook.  I wanted Swedish pancakes so we went to the Crown & Rye.  I ended up with Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, & gravy.  For a side I ordered Citrus Quinoa.  It was just ok.  Not bad but won't order again.  They were super busy in the front restaurant & the back bar.  Great!!  Good to see.

    No clouds tonight.  I could see Venus & Jupiter plain as day.  Took several photos.

    Got home & JS video chatted for a while.  So nice to see him happy & unstressed.  Miss him but glad he moved away where no one can hurt him again.  I was really tired of those who did not care.

    Photos are from tonite, photos of the planets, & since it is Friday, some cocktail photos.  Wish I had someone who liked to have a drink now & then.  Would be fun, but that was so looong ago.

    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.

    Last night was ok but I got very little sleep.  Used to it.  Cinder & Nico were in my bed all night.  They sure help me to feel better.

    Today was the Old Mill day.  I love being part of it.  Today I felt more part of there than usual.  Someone went for drinks & included me.  Someone else created some cool videos & shared them with me.  And then put them on our website tonight.  Very cool.

    I have been working on photos from when the mill was restored.  Scanning mostly photos with people in them.  But no one knew who the guys were who are in the photos working.  Today I shared 2 photos on 3 different groups asking for help.  And people came through.  We now know most of their names.  There was one man & I was sure I knew who he was but could not remember his names.  But someone knew!!  Great!!  I finished all the photos in that book.  Now what next week?  Back to schools or something else!

    JR & I had supper at Jalisco's tonight.  I ate only a little.  They were busy with lots of take out meals.  Very good.

    Nico was not normal last night.  I am so worried about him.  Today he is more normal.  He is causing me lots of stress.  I usually don't mention it on FB or anywhere else.  I am sure no one wants to hear.  His hind leg still bothers him.

    When I got home from work Cinder was curled up in the sun.  She barely looked at me.  Nico & I stayed out for a while.  She finally joined us.  She was racing around! And is still out.

    Tonight is the last photo of Jupiter & Venus.  Been fun watching & taking photos of them.  Other photos from the afternoon.
