February 1, 2026

    It is another cold good morning here in Hewitt. Temp in the low 20s so we are wondering when spring will come. I tend to complain about the cold weather along with complaining about the hot weather. Old people are allowed to complain as they forget what they have complained about yesterday and they can complain about something different today.

Now that my favorite wife is doing some walking, she got out of her chair and walked into the kitchen then back into the front room and to the front door where she stood and looked outside for a few minutes. We are happy that she is starting to walk again. Later she needed to use the restroom, so she got out of her chair and walked to the rest room. She also walked back to the front room and got back in her chair. We are very happy that she is walking as a part of her rehab. She does use a walker to help in walking.

My favorite wife's chair is difficult for her to get up out of, it is soft and it would be better if she has something solid to push on with her hands to help get up. She has tried my ole chair, when I say ole it is basically worn out, but I keep using it. If I knew where I could get a new chair like this ole chair, and if I could afford a new chair, I might get one, maybe.

I was going to go into Waco and get some sandwiches for supper, but we found that they did not have the two for $7.50 so we did not go. I was able to get some items from the freezer and put them in the microwave for a decent meal but not homemade.

The only time I left the homestead yesterday was to get a cup of coffee. I did get a lot of items out of the van (clothes and shoes) and donated them to a friend who will give them away. I need to get someone to clean the van and make it look good so I can sell it or trade it. It has not been used for a few months, and it hasn't been cleaned inside or outside. There are people who will come to your house and clean a vehicle for money. Where will I get the money, as I understand it costs $100 or more.  

My favorite wife got out of bed this morning and was able to walk into the front room. That makes us both happy and we want her to continue walking in a safe manner.

This morning, I have done a few things like fill the washing machine with some dirty items and now they are in dryer. I sneaked off and got gas in the pickup truck and naturally I got a cup of real coffee. Now I am sitting here working on this new journal I mean post.

If you want to stop receiving these journals I mean posts, just let me know, or if someone is silly enough to want to receive these journals, I mean posts let me know.

I am out of here now, so we hope you have a good day and stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.
