Today's Name Day:  Tea, Tekla

I remember a couple of ladies named Tekla.  Never hear that name now.

    Today I did not work.  Called in sick yesterday when I thought I was dying.  I had trouble sleeping last night until I put on some stickers for sleep around 4am.  Too late to use but I was soooo tired.  Cinder slept with me.  So did Kisse.  Babysitters.

    Lunch briefly upset me but did not last.  Been ok since then.  Just my usual tiredness.

    Had a good nap.  With my cats again.  When I got up I took my iPhone outside to sit with Daisy.  She must have missed me.  I got lots of attention.  Nice for me for a change.  While out the fedex delivery guy came.  Too late for me to hide.  But I thanked him & apologized for the pile of shit in my yard.  I explained someone is supposed to clean it up but there are more important things this summer than me ---- harvest, planting, kids, etc..  I got 2 boxes.  Heavy,  Cat food.  If I had known how heavy I would have asked him for help!!!  😀 Not really but no one else is any help to me.  So I thanked him for all he does.  Nice kid.

    Weather is awesome.  I saw 58F last night. Today was 77F.  ICT is still whining as they are hotter than here.  We got higher temps this summer than there but they more days hot days.  And they have not gotten close to 50s at night yet.

    Quiet day.  Got an email but no texts.  Was supposed to get a phone call 2 days ago but never happened.  He was too busy I suppose.

    Thursday lunch is cancelled for 2 weeks.  One of us is too busy.  Not me.  No one would want to eat with just me.  Will try to eat out tomorrow evening.  Need to see MM & JR both.  They need me as usual.  I will skip Swedish group on friday so I can eat out after work.  Cannot eat out on saturday.  Street dance.  No parking.  Sure the street is closed.

    Late night tv is boring tonight.  Probably watch Kimmel for the begining then go to bed.  When they have people I do not know I can skip.

    Done here. Then spanish.  Stress!!!

9/2026 - Tuesday the 22th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Maurits , Moritz

I had a Swedish brother to my great grandmother who was here in the US then went back to Sweden.  Name was Maurits.  Never had a photo of him or any information about him.  He died young.  I keep searching but here is nothing.  A challenge.

    Today was a truly awful day,  I got no sleep.  I know why & no problem. Won't make that mistake again.  But I ate lunch & was sick the rest of the day.  All day.  I got a little sleep.  But being sick kept waking me up.  I had no idea what I would eat for supper.  I found something I hope is ok.  So far it is.  Why me????  A quien le importa.

    Tomorrow is cancelled. I had plans to meet MM & send photos to EH.  MM is sick also.  EH can wait until friday.  And I have plans for this weekend.  Hope I am ok by then.

    No communication except an email.  Nice to hear.

    I wrote to a long time friend in Boston.  He shares videos every day of his life.  I told him I am home alone when not working.  He answered me back with a nice text.  He shows himself working out & cooking in his brother's restaurant.  Yummy food.  He makes my day.  Nice to see a smiling, friendly face when home alone.

    Had a nice cool day.  High was 75 & low was 61.  Might get some rain overnight & tomorrow.  And on thursday & friday.  Be a shame if the street dance got rained out!!  Glad I won't be there.

    So relieved autumn is finally here.  ICT has some 90s forecast.  None here that I know of.  Really need rain.

    I planned to sit outside with Daisy but was far too sick.  Cinder napped on me most of the time I was asleep.  Kisse did also then she went under the bed,  They might have been babysitting me.

    TV sucks.  I usually watch Everyone Loves Raymond or Big Bang Theory.  If they are not on I am screwed. There is Josh Gates on the Discovery Channel.  Tomorrow night he will have a new episode.  Always good.
