3/2026 - Måndag den 30:e - MY JOURNEY

Cut flowers in a bouquet on the SVAFC desk.

Today's Name Day: Holger, Holmfrid

Had a so-so day. Needed more sleep. Playing with my iPad. Had a nice nap this afternoon. Cinder joined me for a while.

I gave up on taking trash out. Too windy. I am in too much pain & too depressed.

Cats ate overnight & have hung around today.

I stepped out on the porch for a minute. Mail must all be in my mail box. Hot out.

No cattle here or llamas.

I found some eye glass wipes --- Lens Wipes --- at Amazon. Very good. My glasses actually stay cleaner.

Not much to say today. Think MM must be moving. Quiet today. Drove by his new house last night. I can see the back yard has a fence. Better than the one where he lives now. Good for Gracie!

A friend wanted photos of Big Boy Steam Engine. She is in Cheyenne WY now and friend's daughter lives there & wanted to share with her. I sent her 9 photos from Abilene KS. All taken by me. I hope it comes here this year.

Also I have photos of wild flowers before our drought. No flowers around my farm last summer. Hope we get rain this summer.

National news is depressing. News ranging from idiotic to scary to bad to lies & a couple of nice pieces of news. Not many though. Glad I cannot fly any more. No way I could stand in line to board for 5 hours. And glad no family of mine is in the military.

Bushes growing in Swensson Park.

Flowers at the Old Mill.

Bouquet of cut flowers.

Flowers at a local bed & breakfast.

Cut flowers in a bouquet on the SVAFC desk.

In honor of Mom singing in the Messiah Chorus for many years. I think made it to 62 years total.

Mom in Ya Ya's in Wichita tasting my martini!! We were there for a doctor's appointment. We had a great driver & I always took us all out to eat somewhere really nice. Never McDonalds.

Me when I was around 3-4 years old. When I was still happy.

Photo taken from Bachman's an ice cream place that also processed cream, milk, & butter. Plus made ice cream. Kids I played with got to go get ice cream often. Only a block from where we lived. I was never ever allowed to go get any ice cream. I missed out.

3/2026 - Söndag den 29:e - MY JOURNEY

Happy Easter in Swedish. Sweden does witches for Easter. The kids dress up as witches. And get candy.

Today's Name Day: Jens, Jonas

I have known a Jens & a couple of Jonases.

My day was ok but the weekend was a challenge. Rough on me emotionally & physically. And I got no support in any way. Just me & the cats here alone

With the high winds I had a group of boxes that kept blowing around. Both trash bins have been tipped over. Someone --- KN?? --- put the group of boxes in one bin & left it laying on its side. Would not have stayed if set it upright. I have another pile of boxes. I could do the same with them. See how much pain I am in. There are no offers to help me if I need it

I slept so-so. Needed a bit more sleep but it went ok. I brought my iPad to work at the SVAFC. I googled how to do something but then I realised my keyboard needs to be charged. Duh. Charging now. See if that helps. Might take a while.

Had a few people come in. Last day of this show. I told MH I could probably work for him on friday. Then I can see the next show. I am baffled what it will be. I am curious.

The 10th of April is the yearly Jazz Walk in town. A family named Draper have a huge musical group. They walk down the sidewalk playing their instruments then a concert in the Sundstrom Building. All free. The music this year is Blues. Will be awesome. Decided I am taking that friday off from work. Trying to eat out for lunch, working all afternoon, then supper out, & finally the concert. Too much for one day. Will relax most of the day at home.

After work supper was at Pizza Hut. I was hungry. Had pasta & garlic bread. Ate most of it. Then home. I did my spanish lesson at work on my iPad. Not easy but I got 2 lessons done. Sort of awful. May check on a new case. Since I have ignored this one too much.

I found out a gathering I am usually included in did not invite me. Upsets me even though it is none of my business. So I have been crying. Lots more to the story but that is all I am saying. FOMO ---- fear of missing out. Not really a fear anymore. I am just excluded from things going on. Period.

This weekend was our Messiah Chorus festival. Used to be both Easter weekends, 3 performances, concerts during the week. Almost nothing now. Very sad. They have trouble getting people to sing or attend.

Photos are nothing special. Saw no llamas today. Or yesterday.

The cats have been hanging around more today. Ate last night & today. Cinder is sleeping by the TV. Kisse is hiding. Probably under my bed.
