6/2026 - Tuesday the 30th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Leif , Elof

I only know of a Swedish explorer name Leif.  Did have a family in town with the last name of Leaf.

    Today has been nothing but trouble.  I just do not deserve so much trouble.

    I could not sleep at all last night.  I was calm.  I laid quiet.  But no sleep.  I had an appointment I knew I could not sit through that tired.  I called in sick,  I will have to pay for it but I just don't care.  Guilt feelings for taking care of me.

    Usually when my alarm goes off Cinder comes running.  Not today.  Not normal.  I fed Daisy & ready to feed me.  I called & called for Cinder.  She finally showed up.  Really scared me.  Especially when I have no clue how old she is.

    Had trouble with my phone & laptop.  Google would not work.  I had no internet to start with.  Got it turned back on.  Did not help.  I could not blog to save my life.  I gave up.  Finally tonite it works.  And so does my phone.

    Then my mail came.  I had nothing to drink here so I ordered juice & sodas.  And it was all heavy!!!  As I am trying to get it in the house, Daisy is trying to get in the house also.  I finally managed.  I have drinks that are all in the house.  Need some in the fridge too.

    Been watching soccer today.  Missed one match that had the winner I wanted.  Then I saw Sweden lose to France.  Dang.  Now Mexico is on.  They should win I think.  Mexico has scored 2 goals close to each other.

    Early this morning the weather said there was lightning near me.  But nothing happened.  And that line of clouds were there all day.  Severe in the west.  See if we get anything.  Nothing on the radar now any where.  All gone.  It was very hot again today.  Over 90F & strong winds again.

Norway won.

Sweden lost 3-0.

                                                                           

       

6/2026 - Monday the 29th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Petra , Peter

I have known many Peters.  Most unusual one was a solist for the Messiah Chorus.  He happened to find my blog & read it.  Cool.  I grew up with a Peter all through school.  Even had a crush on him in junior high.  He was supposed to be here for our reunion but did not make it.  My best friend in life was Peter I met at the hospital.  He worked in xray.  We hung around a lot together & with his best friend of Danny.  Oh, the fun we had.  They lived in California & London UK.  We kept in touch.  Then he lived in Wichita for a long time & in Great Bend.  His mom & sister lived there also.  We visited his mom often.  She was in a  assisted living home.  Lordy, I miss him & her so much.  Both are gone.

    Today was horrid weather.  I saw 94F here that feels like 104F plus winds around 40mph.  Hate hot weather.  I keep telling myself that each day is another day closer to cooler weather.

    I slept very good.  Fell asleep early & slept good.  I had plans to run an errand in town but canceled it.  What I needed I do not have.  Will take care of it next week.  Just stayed home & rested.

    Just got package from FedEx.  Will force myself to go outside.  But I was lucky.  Box right by my door.  Daisy asleep somewhere.  Easy pick up!!

    All of Kansas is under horrid weather today.  Many cities have cool places for people to go to get a break or to stay overnight.  Some places are just for men or just families.  My town has nothing like that.  There are places they can go in & sit if needed.  Maybe a filling station overnight.  Not sure.

    Cinder has slept by my tv this afternoon.  I got a photo of her in a weird postion.  No idea where Kisse is.  Forgot to check the bedroom.  Got new cat food for them to try.  See how that goes.

    Got a sweet video of one of my great grandsons telling me he loved me & blowing me a kiss!!!  Made my day!!!

Love gnomes

A very old sign along the former highway between Lindsborg & Salina.  Made in the 1920s.  Our historical group have replaced with a new one looking just like this one.  But made so it will last a long time.

Our band shell painted for a play in the past.

Love these musks especially if I can get close to them.

My fave pudding cups.  So good!!!

Today's Name Day;  Leo

I have known several Leos here in Kansas or the US.  Not close friends, though.

    Today I had a lunch date.  Got up early to dress, do my makeup, & hair.  But one great grandson got sick. They cancelled. At least I was ready for supper then.  Had a great nap!!!  Just checked my makeup & hair.  All was good!!!

    We had supper at Pizza Hut.  They did my supper wrong so for me it was free.  Nice.  Thanks, KK!!  Good guy!!

    It was far too hot today.  I saw 97F.  I hate hot weather.  Awful.  The feels like temps were 106F.  Little cooler on tuesday & wednesday.  Winds today were 40mph.

    I sat outside for a while tonight with 4 mosquito stickers on.  Nice breeze.  I fed Daisy May & then she crawled all over me & we bonded some more.  She purred & cuddled.  She is sweet.  No camera with me tonight.  Too dark.

    I have one mosquito bite on my right arm.  Drives me crazy.  I usually dab on some pain cream.  That stops the itch for a while.  I usually have some near wherever I am.

    Saw MM late this afternoon briefly.  He was cooking supper for the boys.  Offered me to take some home but I have food here.  Next time!!

    I am working the gallery on the holiday weekend.  I have no friends or family to celebrate with.  I might as well work for someone who has both friends & family so he can celebrate.  I would rather be there than sitting at home alone.

I love this.
