Today's Name Day:  Hjalmar, Helmer

Had a Hjalmar or two who lived here in the past.

    Had a good but freezing day.  I am still cold inside!!

    I worked at the SVAFC.  The afternoon temps were around 19F or less. The front door leaks wind, air, & leaves.  Someone did tape the piece over the outside space but it won't stay.  Need to fix it correctly.  When I work next week I am bringing some super tape.  Hope that helps.  No need to ask to fix it.  I know better.

    The Stuga had lots of cars.  Must have been a football game or two on.  Then everyone left until just before 5pm.  Cars everywhere.

    I truly figured there would be no one walking around but I was wrong.  Quite a few people walking by.  No one came in though.  One couple stopped & I was sure they would come in.  She walked up to our big window, looked in, smiled at me & waved.  That was it.  One young man came in just as were were closing.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn. MM was working. Not many customers so he could sit with me and visit.  Very fun. I have missed him.

    Home now.  JS had texted me earlier & told me to call him after supper.  We had a great talk.  Over one hour.   I  miss him also.  He is an important person to me.

    The temp is dropping. Now down to 10F.  And I need to go out to get some cat food.  Brrrr.  Warmer tomorrow.  Out with friends.

    Photos are a mix.  Maybe too many.

The previous photos were taken at the Blacksmith Coffee Shop..  The building is next door & is a seamtress.

01/2026 - Fredag the 16th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Anton, Tony

Had a minister as a child named Anton.  No bueno!!!  Know several  Scary.  Know several Tony's.  Used to work in town now elsewhere.  Miss them.  And my friend CW had a grandfather Tony.  I remember him as a child.

    What a day!!!  I am reeling from the entire day!!  Both good & bad.

    Started at the White Peacock waiting for LL.  I walked in & there were 2 ladies at a table I walked by.  The one I know quite well, but she barely said hello or smiled.  That is not normal.  Nice lady.  I looked at the other lady.  No one but Willie's sister who hated Willie & still hates me with a passion.  What a shock.  Of course she did not speak.  But she got to look at me the entire time she was there.

    While I was waiting CW came in for his lunch to take with him to the Stuga.  I got a big hug & some great conversation.  Sure that the 2 ladies were curious.  Good!!!

    Had a good lunch.  No more surprises.  Got to visit with MH.  Will see him tomorrow when he unlocks the SVAFC for me.  Interesting to see the show there now.  The high temp tomorrow is only 22.  Hope the gallery is warm!!

    Work was fun.  We had time to joke & chat.  Love that.  Things are getting back to normal.  The photos I am working on are boring.  Don't know anyone or what they are about.  I just do what I am told.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  MA is gone & the girls had a Mexican novela on the tv.  Soap opera!  And we agreed that the 2 males stars were "muy guapa"!!!  Very good looking!!  I got the name of it in case I can see it on my tv.  No time to look now.

    I talked to someone I have known for a long time.  I just posted a photo of a basketball team from Falun in 1980s.  He was in it.  We had a fun conversation. Great day!!!

    Got home & started to do my blog, but I could not charge my laptop.  The connector would not fit.  How could that be??  It hangs on my desk.  Felt like I had stepped on it or something.  Then I looked closer.  Where it fits in had some tiny black chunks floating in it.  Curious as what they are.  I finally found something to fish them out with & viola!!!  Charger fit in perfectly.  I remember yesterday my laptop slid off the sofa.  Must have got dirt in it from the floor.  Whew!!  I was scared!!  Charging fine now.

    I am still hurting from the cold fronts.  But today I had something new.  An earache.  Nice.  My left ear.  Still aching.  I hurt from my ear down to my knees & further.

    All in all a good day.  I worry about my ex-sis in law causing trouble for me.  She is a big trouble maker.  She ruined our family.  No need to go into it all.  Glad we have no connection anymore.

    When I left work it was lightly snowing.  Super cold tomorrow.  The high is 22 with high winds.  Tiny bit warmer on sunday then colder again on monday.  No hint of rain or snow.  Not yet.

You can kind of see a snow flake or two here.

    Photos are a mix as usual.

AI me & how I should look tomorrow!!!
