3/2026 - Söndag den 29:e - MY JOURNEY

Happy Easter in Swedish. Sweden does witches for Easter. The kids dress up as witches. And get candy.

Today's Name Day: Jens, Jonas

I have known a Jens & a couple of Jonases.

My day was ok but the weekend was a challenge. Rough on me emotionally & physically. And I got no support in any way. Just me & the cats here alone

With the high winds I had a group of boxes that kept blowing around. Both trash bins have been tipped over. Someone --- KN?? --- put the group of boxes in one bin & left it laying on its side. Would not have stayed if set it upright. I have another pile of boxes. I could do the same with them. See how much pain I am in. There are no offers to help me if I need it

I slept so-so. Needed a bit more sleep but it went ok. I brought my iPad to work at the SVAFC. I googled how to do something but then I realised my keyboard needs to be charged. Duh. Charging now. See if that helps. Might take a while.

Had a few people come in. Last day of this show. I told MH I could probably work for him on friday. Then I can see the next show. I am baffled what it will be. I am curious.

The 10th of April is the yearly Jazz Walk in town. A family named Draper have a huge musical group. They walk down the sidewalk playing their instruments then a concert in the Sundstrom Building. All free. The music this year is Blues. Will be awesome. Decided I am taking that friday off from work. Trying to eat out for lunch, working all afternoon, then supper out, & finally the concert. Too much for one day. Will relax most of the day at home.

After work supper was at Pizza Hut. I was hungry. Had pasta & garlic bread. Ate most of it. Then home. I did my spanish lesson at work on my iPad. Not easy but I got 2 lessons done. Sort of awful. May check on a new case. Since I have ignored this one too much.

I found out a gathering I am usually included in did not invite me. Upsets me even though it is none of my business. So I have been crying. Lots more to the story but that is all I am saying. FOMO ---- fear of missing out. Not really a fear anymore. I am just excluded from things going on. Period.

This weekend was our Messiah Chorus festival. Used to be both Easter weekends, 3 performances, concerts during the week. Almost nothing now. Very sad. They have trouble getting people to sing or attend.

Photos are nothing special. Saw no llamas today. Or yesterday.

The cats have been hanging around more today. Ate last night & today. Cinder is sleeping by the TV. Kisse is hiding. Probably under my bed.

03/2026 - Lördagen den 28: e - MY JOURNEY

I love my cats. I could not survive without them.

Today's Name Day: Malkolm, Morgon

I have only known one Malcolm in my life. He was a local artist. Worked with metals. Made Swedish wedding crowns. He was very instrumental with the Old Mill being saved & made to work again. All parts in it are original. Nothing was ever removed or sold. Malcolm's daughter & I were a grade apart. She is now a great artist & we are still friends.

Another less than great day. I changed my glusose sensor last night. And it never worked right. Not for one minute. Proceeded to beep all night. Kept me awake. And it was wrong all night. I gave it all day to get itself ok but never happened, Before supper I removed it & after supper I started a new one. Hope this one is better. Or I might quit & just order from Amazon. Probably order when I need. I hope.

I felt pretty rough & cancelled all day. Calling it a Jammie Day. Both of my knees hurt overnight. The right one never hurts. It was replaced. Both hurt bad all night. Pain cream kind of worked.

I got worried about the cats today. They ate nothing overnight or this morning. And they were no where to be seen. I had too many bad feelings. Usually when I turn the TV on they come check me out. I walked back to put bedroom & they both were there. I know Kisse hides under my bed Or under some shelves. Cinder has her own hiding spots ---- maybe behind the washer. Then they followed me to the living room. But soon they were hidden again. Odd. Maybe our awful weather bothers them also.

I tried to nap but could not relax. Awful day. I finally turned on my laptop. Finished watching soaps & 2 evening shows. Taping skating all day today. Can watch tomorrow or monday.

We had high winds & fire warnings. It blew a few of my boxes around. They did not go anywhere. I restacked them. I really need to carry trash out. Have not dared to with the high winds.

Emailed with JL today. MM quiet & is off for a concert in Wichita. Wish I had a life to look forward to. FOMO

Today is LL's last day as director of the Old Mill. New one starts on monday. A really good one. I am hopeful. Hope my scanner gets replaced soon. Two of us use it all the time. We should not have to suffer.

Posted more Yoder KS photos. Went there twice. Once with LL & once with JR. I want to go back, Love their homemade bread & cinnamon rolls.

Photos today all have the artists listed on them. Some are cute.

Have 16 more minutes until my glucose sensor will work again. Hope it is ok. (working ok now)
