Both look good.  They are a day late.

Today's Name Day:  Margareta , Greta

I went to school with a Greta.  Her sister was in my class.  Smart, cool girl.  I had a Margaret in my class.  We were good friends.  Part of a large group.  Mom had a cousin Margaret.  I knew her well.  Always enjoyed her company.  I miss the days when I had people in my life & family.

    Today is anything but good.  So hot it is unreal.  I saw a high of 104F or 40C.  It felt like 108F.  I was out with Daisy but not for long.  Need to carry trash out but I refuse.  I hurt far too much & it is far too hot.  Supposedly cooler midweek with rain.  Not holding my breath.  Any rain will miss my farm.  I can guarantee that.

    Both inside cats have stayed in our bedroom the last two nights.  No idea why.  But they are eating better.

    Spanish is not going well.  They moved me down a level.  I do not care.  Too sick & tired to care.  There should be a way you could tell them your are sick or have had a death in the family.  Give you a day or so to recover.  But like the rest of the world no one there cares either.

    And my phone is driving me crazy.  I wanted to post a graphic about the heat.  Just something cute.  It has tried all day.  But I checked & it is there but I still have a message saying it is still loading.  Grrr.

    Have another birthday of my oldest great grandson.  I know the day but not any of the plans.  More photos!!!

    I felt too bad yesterday I did not watch the last soccer match.  Just did not care.  And then the trophy ceremony was ruined as I knew it would be. But FIFA & Spain fixed it.  Loved what they did!!!  I am sure there "someone" who is quite upset!!!  Good deal!!!

    Eating big for supper.  Popcorn!!!  Sounds good.  Something different than tv dinners or lunch meat.  if only I could afford a maid & cook!!!  Ah, life would be awesome!

    Temp down to 101F.  No bueno.  I am ready for something to drink & food.  But not going out.

True

Too true

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.
