3/2026 - Tisdagen den 3:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Gunborg,  Gunvor

    A bit better day.  Slept ok last night. Nap today.  So far less pain.
    Ignored by almost everyone except JL, BC, & JR.  No one asks how I am.  If I sleep tonight I will work tomorrow.
    BC is a friend but we do not hang out.  His mother was the president of where I went to nursing school.  Cool lady.  He misses her so much.  But we have started texting each other.  I enjoy his company.  He has some challenges in his life.
    I rarely mention I was a "nurse".  Got treated so bad at the hospital I worked at.  When I started there LPN's were treated with respect.  Eventually they wanted all of us gone.  Even Mom never called me a nurse.  Only the RNs did she call them "real nurses."  So the powers that be & my coworkers treated us badly.  I just never talk about it.  I loved my patients, their families, & many of the doctors.  I learned to try not to ask for assistance.  Likely not to get any.  I did what I could.  Glad I am not there anymore.  Love my jobs now.  Great coworkers.  I am lucky!
    We had fog overnight & this morning.  SnapChat kept showing rain on graphics there.  Duh.  Fooled me.  Fog does not show on radar.  Stayed cool here.  Western Kansas got to the 60s & sun.  We stayed cloudy.  Prefer that.
    Thunderstorms to develope tonight.  I am not included in it as usual.  More chances on friday.  Those storms are to stay east of me or NW of me.  See if my pain increases.
    I found that the mailman put two light weight packages on the top of my trash bins.  God forbid he could walk up to my porch.  I went out on the porch & saw the llamas so grabbed my camera.  While sitting there I saw these white packages on the ground between the trash bins.  New mail.  One package was from eBay that I had a notice almost 2 weeks ago saying it had been delievered.  I never found it.  I looked.  So here it is on the ground in the dirt today.  What??  Mailman got tired & threw the package on the floor of his car & he forgot about it??  Such poor service.  Last week he crammed a box in my mailbox.  It was so large & tight I bet he shoved it in with his feet.  My hands hurt from arthritis & they have little strength.  I almost had to call for help.  Took a while & lots of pain but I finally got it out.  I am thinking about a phone call to complain.
    Hard to get comfy at night.  Turn the heat down then my feet get cold.  Huh???  Turn the heat up & I get too warm.  Even socks do not help my feet.
    Photos are mostly from one place.  Already have some for tomorrow.  Ones I have taken.


I thought so!!!!
Look at the figures on the ground!!!








Sweet birds.

When I worked at the Red Barn an artist I had a special friendship with left this in the window when he went home from his show here.

My front yard with Coco & Charlie, our llamas.  The hill is White Cross Hill.  Has a large white cross on the side of it made of rocks & painted white.

3/2026 - Måndag den 2:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Erna,  Ernst
Known at least one Ernest.  Maybe two.

    Had a better day.  Went to bed last night around 10pm.  And fell asleep right away.  Woke. up around 3am to check my iPhone.  Hate to ignore Lindsborg Now too long.  When I do something bad always happens.  Over 8000 people members on it & as a group they are not to be trusted.  But all was well on my. phone.  Not in the world though.  We have opened an awful can or worms.
    Today was ok.  I slept this morning.  Then a nap on my sofa this afternoon.
    There was ice early this morning.  No idea if we got any here but we were in the area.  Watch was over by 8am.
    I stepped out on my porch briefly & there were the llamas near my yard.  Dang.  No phone.  No photo.  Next time.  Old photo here.  Coco & Charlie.
    Less pain today but expect that to change with our messed up weather.  At least we are not having super warm weather.  Yet.
    The photos today are a mix.

Love pictures from Sweden.  Especially snowy ones.  Where my ancestors are from & some still live they have ski slopes there.  Near Järvsö.  Great photos.





Read texts on some of the photos.  Cute.









Love these tea pictures!!!

Read the book name.


AI me.  This is a fantasy!!!

3/2026 - Söndag den 1:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Albin,  Elvira
Lindsborg had a couple of men named Albin.  I remember a lady named Elvira from Assaria years ago.  And there is the famous actress who uses the name Elvira.  Born in Kansas.


    Not a good night or day.  I could not sleep to save my life.  Finally slept from 10am until 1pm.  Ready to nap again.  Cancelled the entire day.  We have had rain, hail, & thunder.  The temp is 31F now.  MM had a photo of hail on a table outside.
    Kisse has slept anywhere but her bed.  Weird.  No idea why.  Cinder stayed in the living room most of the time.
    I took a short nap then had supper.  The rain has left this area,  Just cold out.
    Photos are a mix.  Some I know I have shared before but I like them.
