Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 193....

Had a busy day after a somewhat sleepless night. Slept late.

Had not done my taxes yet so I had to print out my figures. And I could not find it. Yikes!!! I finally found it. Printed it and added some changes.

After lunch I got dressed and went to my accountants. We did not recognize each other with masks on!! He will work on mine next week.

I decided since we have no chance of rain to wash the car. Looks nice. Then I picked up a sandwich and turnover from Arbys for supper.

I had texted my cousin ND2 and she was going to call me later. After my nap we had a long chat. I miss her. But with Covid who knows when I will see her. I am not brave enough to travel and certainly not brave enough to stay in any motel no matter how fancy. I trust no one.

JR called after supper.

I worked very hard to stay positive. Easier said than done.

Photos are all old one except for the  one of me in my new reader glasses.

      

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 192....

I really had a great day today. I want to thank ND, DD, and JR. And the wait staff at Jalisco's. Perfect day!

Sleep was sort of nonexistent until around 5am. Getting used to it.

Met ND and DD at the Blacksmith Coffee Shop this afternoon. The weather was awesome so we sat outside. Perfect day. Just nice to sit with friends and talk. And since we were outside we had our masks off.

After tea I picked up JR and headed to Jalisco's for supper. They were slow until we were leaving! JS's boss was there with his wife. Nice to see them. He and his brothers grew up next door to Willie and I. Known them forever. I am so grateful he has hired JS to work in his company welding.

Weather stayed in the 70s today. Warmer weather is coming for about 3 days then a cold front is arrives. But not a chance of rain. Been at least a month with no rain. And every day they say no rain for 10 days. And it never gets fewer days. Not good.

Late this afternoon we saw the sun and blue sky. The smoke is clearing. No red sun tonight.

Photos today are just a mix of nothing important. I have had a praying mantis on my porch. But I usually see him at night but this afternoon I got some photos of him. Very cool.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 191....

Today was a too quiet day. Had to cancel therapy since I got NO sleep last night. I even tried going to the sofa and it was worse than the bed. Finally got some sleep this morning. Slept until 1230.

Yesterday JR and I had supper at Jalisco's. Hard to imagine that the ONLY place in town to get a burger and fries is at the Mexican restaurant. And a good hamburger! I get the white Mexican cheese on mine.

After supper we drove out to Coronado Heights to await the setting sun. A couple who ate at the restaurant was out there too. They were really friendly. Very nice.

The views from there are wonderful. We live in the Smoky Valley and from the hill looking down in the valley you can see the blue haze. It is always there. There is a castle built up there done by the WPA.

The sun was awesome. The smoke is getting less. Probably good for all. My photos are not as good as the other day. JR takes awesome photos. I should post his instead of mine. 

At the base of the hill is a cemetery. Willie is buried there as is my grandson's father and my best friend John. And lots of family. I will be near my great great grandparents. For me it is like coming full circle. And close to John.

When I got home last night a deer was in my front yard near my house. Never got a photo. He never stopped. Fun to see.

   

  

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 190....

Cannot blog much today. This is a special day in my family but thanks to those who do not want me to actually live my own life  have ruined it all. What fun today should have been. Why must family and life be so difficult. Feel like I am being punished. Enough said.

Photos today are not mine, have nothing to do with me, and are just calming and pleasant.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 189....

My day was good, but my mood was not. I almost cried in public this noon. Anxiety attack and my frickin' hip pain. Tonite I refused to move for Nico. He is angry at me and now sitting in Willie's chair.  I am batting at 100% in being rude to all. Surprised someone did not tell me off.

JR and I ate at Jalisco's. Love my shrimp. I hate when they serve fajitas. The smoke always has a bee line to me. Sold more than usual today. DV and JG bought our lunches because I give JG his hypos. So unnecessary but so appreciated.  And I am doing a favor for JS tomorrow. And did JR's laundry. Sooo nice to be appreciated. Makes me feel better. Nice to be needed. I usually feel useless.

Poor JR carried out 5 large bags of trash. Did not weigh much. Many flattened boxes. Glad it is all gone. Trash comes on tuesday.

A mix of photos. One sun photo from yesterday has birds flying in it. Never saw them when I took it. And we did not have that dessert today. An old photo. Mmmm.
