Today's Name Day:  Sara

I have a cousin in Denver named Sara.  Cool family.  I went to school with a Sara or two.

    Today was not the best day.  I sat outside at lunch with Daisy.  KN made it over here while I was folding clothes in the back bedroom.  Missed him.  My screen door has a new latch.  Perfect.  Nice to have a working door.

    I slept ok but woke up & cried often.  Tough weekend & the two weeks before was awful also.  And all the normal stress from life that I get no support with.

    I got signed up with a new RA doctor in Lindsborg named Dr. Baxa.  Had an appointent with him in March.  I was told to answer the phone if the local hospital called.  They called on friday.  New appointment is this coming wednesday,  In the morning on a work day.  No idea what he will do & how long it will take.  And will I be feeling good enough to work,  Sigh.................

    Awful weather again.  I saw 98F here.  Tomorrow is forecast for 103F.  I hate summer.  They are saying that wednesday & thursday are in the 80s & chance of rain.  I can dream.

    Lots more pain today.  Probably weather related.  And extra tired.

Today's Name Day:   Fredrik , Fritz

There were several local men named Fritz here.  But my first son-in-law is Fred.  Good guy.  I like him.  Think there at least one Fred in school when I was in high school.

    Today is just another day at home with no communication.  Very quiet.

    Awful weather.  Right now it is 97F outside.  Luckily the humidity is low & there is a light breeze.

    I went outside to give Daisy some fresh water.  I sat on my bench.  Scrunched all the trash that is outside.  Wish it was gone.  Adds to my stress.  Think only me & my eye doctor care how I am.  And the 4 friends who always ask how I am.  They are the best.  Glad I have them.

    Daisy was so sweet.  She was on my lap.  We rubbed noses & faces.  She purred as she curled up on me.  And she kneaded my lap as she "made tacos!" 

    I tried to fall asleep this afternoon but I just rested.

    While sitting outside I swear I saw a bluebird.  Used to have them on my fence.  Not many but a few.  And I almost always see a flycatcher near my mailbox daily.  Pretty bird.  

    KN said he would get a new latch for my front door but not seen or heard from him yet.  He probably has more important things to do.  Farm stuff?? Date night?  Wouldn't that be fun?  No dates for me.  Not even with girlfriends.  Just me.

    Watching my last soccer match.  Don't care about this one.  No one to share with.  I tried early in FIFA but I was told to be quiet.  And I do.  Do not want to ruin it for anyone who might read this.  The second half is totally different than the first.  Very cool.  I love soccer!!!

    Decided to cut how many graphics I share. No more than 12.  Or less.  Sure no one cares how many I share, if any.

    Extra pain today.  Maybe the change in weather.  I always hurt.  Does not matter.  There is a fibro & pain website I like.  Every night after midnight they do a "roll call" of who is awake.  We post our location & our time.  And how we feel.  I like that they ask.  So few care today.

Photos from work today.  The box is my new box of photos. Full!!

Today's Name Day:  Bruno

    Today was a good day.  I slept pretty good.

    I had a message from KN.  My front door ---- screen door ---- has been broken since one of our high wind storms.  But two days ago I could not keep it closed for anything.  I asked KN to come look at it to see if it was fixable. He fixed it except it needs a latch.  Will do that tomorrow.  I am so relieved.

    While eating lunch I spilled part of my juice in my lap.  Had to change clothes.  Dang.  What a clutch.

    Work was good.  But no one will help me with the error my scanner keeps making.  LL came home from her trip with a cold.  She stayed away from me so we did not get to talk.  I have a nose spray I use when ever I am not home.  It is good for 9 hours of killing germs, viruses, etc.  I think it helps.

    I finished a large box of photos.  And started a new huge box of more photos.  I am almost done with the first bunch.  Only 2 tiny photos left.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  As I left for home there was a huge rain cloud to the west.  Nothing here yet.  Dang.  Last chance for rain for at least 10 day.  Days of warnings for heat start this weekend.  Ick.  I hate summer.  I have a doctor's appointment on monday in Hutchinson.  I do not want to drive alone on the hottest day of the year.  Will change.  My safety is more important.

    I was so tired and tried to nap when I got home..  Failed.  But my laptop is working propertly.  For a change.

    Cinder came to find me when I got home.  I fed Daisy.  She gets fed one more time.  Not seen Kisse yet.  But I have not walked down the hall yet.
