5/2026 - Sunday the 31th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Veronika , Vera, Petronella , Pernilla

I only know a Pernilla. A cousin in Skåne. Love her name & she & her family are the best. Wish I could go see them again. But no family or friends who can help me in anyway. No one who can even take me to Wichita let alone Sweden. FML.

Last 2 days. What a challenge. Saturday was a fun day at work. Some one I have known for a long time came & he stayed for a while to talk. Very pleasant. Then a new friend stayed the rest of the day. I really like her. Hope we stay in touch

After work I went out to eat. Nothing good at home. And ended with ice cream. I noticed the clouds from south of town we moving at a scary speed to town. Super fast & huge clouds. I got a few photos I am sharing. They blew to my farm.

I had winds of at least 70mph. Scary. Then the electricity was killed. I was terrified to walk around the house. Only a tiny flashlight to use. I was so scared I would fall & get injured. My trash bins were really tossed around. One blocked me to get in my car so I could charge my phone

I had no electricy from around 8pm until 12:41am. I fell asleep around 9pm. Both inside cats were a mess. I think scared. Kisse was racing around. Cinder just stayed close, Did not sleep well most of the night.

In times of bad things, you find out who cares. MM called to check on me. Told me he would check when he went to bed. And see if I needed anything. And he did. Told me he would call this morning, And he did. His youngest son is here, He heard us talking & said in the phone "Hello! I love you Grandma".

Did make it to work. Dead tired. Work was ok today. I prepared to be tired but two artists came in & kept me awake. So did my new friend,

KK from Pizza Hut has been curious where I work. He came in today. Nice!! I am always surprised when some one likes me. He makes me laugh & smile. I like him.

Supper was at Pizza Hut. I had a sallad. Good.

Came home to find my tv did not work. Dang. I went to restart it but he was not diconnected. Remote had dead batteries. Nothing broke. Lucky.

Decided to get a new dryer. I guess. Not sure. Hate to spend that much money. Must quit spending on stuff or people.

I was sure I changed my heater/AC before work. I did not. House was 86F. Poor kitties. OK now, Sheesh.

I did my spanish lesson at work. I was sure I would get docked for missing a lesson. Nope. Done with it tonight. And almost done with this. Posting few pictures.

Fly catcher.

Swedish artist paintings. Carl Larsson.

5/2026 - Friday the 29th - MY JOURNEY

Plus the paper clip was invented by Norway.

Today's Name Day: Jeanette , Yvonne

I have a good friend Jeanette but she has moved very far away. Rarely see her or hear from her. Have an aunt Jeanette but. her family never had much to do with me & JR. Friends with a sweet lady from my Swedish Friendship group. She & her husband are special people. Also had a friend named Yvonne but she went by Vonnie.

Today was a good day! I slept really good until around 3am. Then I had trouble getting back to sleep. I tried to nap this afternoon but I just rested.

Daisy was glad to see me. She is getting picky about her food. Prefers food not dry. She even stood at the door & meowed loudly around noon!! And she ate what I gave her. Finally got my mail today with cat food in it. I opened her one little one & it was gone quickly!!!

KN called me at 1pm to bring my washer here. TJ helped him. His uncle. Both cats stayed in the living room. Kisse is more skittish than Cinder. She went to hide & Cinder took her place by the tv. Then later Cinder disappeared also. Glad they did not run to hide!

I am washing a small load now. I think it is supposed to judge how much water each load needs. Interesting. Been years since I had a new washer. And he plugged my dryer back in.

Warmer today but cool last night. Got in the mid-80s. And miserably humid. Worse tomorrow.

Lots of flooding in town & in the countryside. I had almost 4". Other places over 5". Some people just cannot enjoy life. A couple of people added some funny pictures to Lindsborg Now about floods. Someone turned them both in as inappropriate. But tons of people liked them. And so did I. I put them back on. They did not hurt anything.

AND. Lindsborg Now has rules. One is you can only add as a member yourself. And today I got sick of it not being followed. Some lady added 3 people at once.. These people do not have a clue she is doing this. I always delete them. So they might wonder why I am sending them a message. And most never add themselves. I wrote a text to the group with a copy of our rule. I made it clear all those adds are deleted. But we have a problem with people being unable to read things from me. And I always make sure I do not allow comments. Not only can people not read they are hateful to me. FML. Well, we have almost 8000 members & it is up to me to keep the peace. I am sure I wrote it in vain.

Have the national news on. And I truly hate politics. Just a bunch of lies & things done to hurt our innocent people. Done with my whine. But. Plus the headlines from the national news is nothing happy. Bus wreck with a kids killed, kids trapped on a roller coaster for hours, second bus crash, two trains hit each other, trapped miners satelite blowing up. Why listen, But a kid won a spelling contest. AND. Changing the name of the Kennedy Center back to what it was. And the slush fund is stopped. For now. 😀

MM shared a photo of himself walking to his work. I told him to stop in to say a quick "hello" this week when I work. And he was eating some ice cream that I drooled over. He said he will buy me some tomorrow. I am not holding my breath but hoping!

Kisse is curled next to me. Tried to get her to pose. She did not want to! Asleep now.
