8/2026 - Sunday the 30th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Albert , Albertina
I had a neighbour named Albert.  His son became friends with me as a child & adult & JR when they were adults..  Remember a lady name Albertina


    Today was a really bad day.  I slept ok but got sick when I woke up.  Then a bit better.  Ate lunch & felt ok.  Then got very sick again.  Went for a nap.  Miserable.
    I got up around 4pm & went to check on Daisy to make sure she had food & water.  I loved her a bit.
    Then the boxes in my yard got the best of me.  Temp was only 106.4F.  Good time to work outside?  NO.  Alone.  Trash comes on tuesday.  I picked up all the large boxes & filled both my bins.  No one has offered to help so sick or not I got all the large ones picked up.  Thank goodness I had the broom to balance me.  I almost fell on my face once.  Oh to have someone or anyone to help clean up those boxes.  Be gone on tuesday.  And you wonder why I an stressed!!!!  Alone with NO help sucks.


    Everyone has been sick.  On saturday both inside cats & me were sick.  I was scared Kisse was dying,  But last night she was up in the evening & running over me in bed at night.  Cinder refused her treats all day.  JS was supposed to call me today.  He did not.  Home sick in bed,  And me.  At least the cats are ok.
Last night I had clear vision to start with when I turned the lights out in my room..Woke up a couple of hours later & my vision was partly clear & partly with black spots all over.
    Time for supper.  Think I will stick with some lunch meat & pudding.  Two cups tonight.  Maybe a cookie or maybe not.  See how sick I feel.  Luckily I am off the next 2 days so hopefully I am good to work this week.  They have to be sick of me.  I am sick of me.

8/2026 - Saturday the 29th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Hampus , Hans
I have a friend in Sweden.  We have met & ate out.  Still friends.  I had a boy in school with me named Hans Peter.


    Today was not a good day.  The night was ok.  Slept ok, but blind again.  Friday was a wonderful day but stress returned around 9pm.  Bad stress.
    Woke up today & immediately got sick.  I did manage to get my groceries.  I forgot Cinder so JR bought what I needed for her last night.
    When I fed Daisy she was more normal.  Great.  She tried to get in the car again with me.  No bueno!
    Kisse was absent all day.  I called & called her.  She was no where.  I got really worried.  But when I went to nap she was in her bed.  Odd.  She sleeps under my bed sometimes.  I guess she is ok.  Was all loving when I found her & during my nap.
    I ate lunch ok.  Feeling better but got sick after going to bed for my nap.  Both cats were either in bed with me or near me.  I got sick once then ok
    Really hot today.  Saw 104.3F when I got up from my nap.  Glad to be inside.  Very windy today.  Corn harvest continues & RN was in a vollery ball tournamont.
    Time for supper.  Hope it goes ok.

Ready for autumn

Want!!!

Old LBK.  This sat between the library & Old Main.  No longer there.  Think they rang the bell when a game was won.

Swensson Park with a pool that once had gold fish in it & the Band Shell.

Huge fire south of Salina KS.  4000 hay bales caught fire.  Most likely will burn for the next week.  Scary.
