01/2026 - Tisdag the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 

My yard years ago in snow.  Still dreaming.

Today's Name Day:  Knut

I have known a Knut or two. But mostly today is King Knut's Day in Sweden.

I  always left my Christmas Tree & decorations up until January 13.  Notice many trees being thrown out & outside decarations taken down long before today.  Where are the Swedish customs???

    Today was ok.  I woke up with a bad anxiety attack.  Why??  I managed a short nap after lunch.

    Went to Lindsborg long before my SVHA board meeting tonight..  I had meds to pick up that were not ready.  Sweet girl said they had tons of insurance trouble & she was behind.  She said if I came back in 10 minutes they would  be ready.  I parked around they corner & gave her 12 minutes.  Then they were ready.

    After meds I went to Jalisco's for supper.  I wanted to see MA.  He is going to miss a few days at work so I saw him & will see him tomorrow also.

    Today was my historical group board meeting.  Plus we celebrated LL being on our board for 25 years.  They had nice treats & took photos.  Then we had a program.  It was interesting.

    My spanish lesson went easier than I expected so I have time to do my blog.  Good.

    I usually feel totally alone at our meetings but not tonight.  Two other members actually sat next to me at a table.  Then a guy I know sat down & we had a nice visit.  Plus an artist & her husband sat at the table also.  Nice for a change.  I have decided that I will just sit where I want & if that is just me, so be it.

    I bought a new iphone & it is here.  Ahead of schedule.  Going to pick it up tomorrow morning.  I can eat a burger in the car & go to work.  Hopefully not too late.  But there is bad weather coming & I did not want to wait until next week to get my phone.  Plus I am working extra.

    I actually did my photos this morning so I am ready.  Love all the cats!!

AI me at a Christmas market in Europe.  I wish!!!

                                          

          

01/2026 - Måndag the 12th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Frideborg, Fridolf

There was a local man here named Fridolf.  Probably the only person with that name I have known.  Still know his son.

    Had an ok day.  Very quiet.  Trouble getting to sleep last night but when I did it was ok.  Short nap today.

    MM shared photos on SnapChat but not to me only.  Nice email from JL.  That was about it.

    It is a miracle.  My iPhone is now working like it used to.  I load all the fotos I want & no message sayng I am out of memory.  Odd.  I can see the fotos I want to use.  Before that was not possible.  I wonder if the guy who helped me got curious as to why my phone would not work.  Found the problem & fixed it.  I have turned my phone off many times with no change.  I checked the settings on my iCloud.  Just weird.  Nice though..

    I had left some groceries in the car overnight.  Too tired to carry it all in.  And some mail in the trunk.  It is all in the house now.  Plus a few pieces of new mail on my porch.  Good to have Coke to drink again.

    Sick to death of national news.  Very depressing.

    I had hoped to have JR to help me with my car tomorrow & had to cancel.  Totally forgot I have my historical group board meeting, celebrating a board member's 25 years on the board, & a program.

    I was asked to work at the SVAFC this coming saturday.  Now today I got a request to work an entire weekend there in 2 weeks.  Have MH notified I need him to unlock for those days.  I will be glad to see him & the gallery.  Sure missed being there.

    Just outside.  Still warm. Around 52 after highs in the 60s.  Same for tomorrow then cold with high winds.  Few birds, no bulls or deer were seen anywhere.  No traffic.  We usually have lots of cars driving by all day long.  Usually people who live nearby.

    Photos are a mix.  Including one very touching memory.

Love this one!

What a great moment. Willie had just died & we had a heavy snow. My neighbours came to clean up my driveway & yard. So surprised. I never expected them to do it again. And they did not. That was they way it should be. Willie would have been pleased & thankful. They are truly good people.

Winter AI me..  I keep hoping for Winter while our weathermen are giddy over warm temps.  Sucks.
