Now we have,

EATHER SHIFTS...

IT got cold today been in the 70's for a few days so I got spoiled...Today my feet are cold...last night I didn't even need a fire just a blanket to keep me warm while I watched Jeopardy and the reruns of dateline.  I go to bed at 9 these days and some days I barely make it to 9.  I think I'm just done and ready to put my brain on hold is the thing.  But I was yawning like crazy...I took the dogs out last night it was so nice and warm.  We have high clouds and rain expected for tomorrow...and today the high only 60. 

I just made out a handful of greeting cards to wish everyone a happy new year, my list gets shorter all the time...and when I addressed the envelopes what a mess I made of that.  Mom and I used to put stickers all over the envelopes she enjoyed doing that...my heart is not in it, I am not in the mood.  

This was a really bad year for me, hopefully it will wind down on a better note, we got rid of DJTrump but he tried to overthrow us with his "tiny coop".  What a bunch of dip sticks...My son lost 3 jobs this year and just has 2 days in on the 4th HOPE it sticks...
I want to go away but I have 2 dogs not aging all that well...Floss has finally adjusted to using the ramp she fell off twice, so I had to line the sides with "bins" to keep her going in the right direction.  Annie tried to by step the bins, but now they seem to be accepting of it. Sure makes my life better...but it's quite UGLY! Cant change that and it doesn't matter since I don't entertain anyone anymore.  
I am almost completely antisocial now except for my online presence which is shrinking Im just about invisible. I have lost contact with all and any people I   used to hang out with besides do we still hang out in our late 60's? What's the use? I have no tolerance for different personalities these days....just being alone is more than enough. I do get lonely for my family that is no longer around...I miss them. 
So not sure if I will even go to the Concert on Sunday it's only Tuesday and Im already dreading the whole idea, by 3 pm  most days Im all done with the day so if I don't go it is not a big deal to me...covid is on the rise again and I really don't want anymore virus's running amuck inside me...

So what do I want for the upcoming year? PEACE and Tranquility. I don't want to deal with other people's problems, and I just want to spend my days in la la land.  I have a lot of big shit coming my way as I age as do we all...so I need to build up the energy to cope with that when it hits.  

Today Im having my low key day of the week where I go no where and don't even leave the house...sometimes I need that just to function, a complete reboot. 

I tried to do some find a grave work and the website crashed...This guy who is rather eccentric spends his day in the County Archives working on the history of the area...well since I've photo'd many of the cemeteries he surveyed back in 1989 he sends me little weird edits to do...this last one threw me for a loop because the Mother of these 9 kids he wanted to link up I could not find in the cemetery although he said she is there...At first I said that's your project you do it...but he just wouldn't take no for an answer so this morning I did HIS research for him.  
1920 Census report finds this woman listed as a widow...OK that's a clue.  So 1930 Census lists her as divorced and a new last name??? OK she remarried,  Check County Marriage Logs 1920's She had remarried and her new name was now Ross.  Then I went back to 1910 and found her first husband alive and them together...and his occupation is farrier.  Due to that I found his death cert with his dates of birth, death, parents, etc.  Then I found her stone in the cemetery under the name Ross, so NOW he can link up the whole family.  Her husband died in 1919, just one yr before the 1920 census, and she remarried in 1923, but that marriage did not last I didnt find a divorce record...and funny thing was one of her sons married one of his daughters! 'I was in the middle of getting all the info in Find a Grave when it crashed! He has found the married names of the Female children, not sure if they are in the same cemetery hope so...
