Today's Name Day:  Lotta , Charlotta

I have a friend named Charlotte.  And a special cousin named Charlotte.  She has passed away & I miss her & her wonderful sense of humor.

    Today was a good day.  Up earlier than usual.  First thing was a shampoo & style.  Then lunch.  Then Cinder & I took a long nap..  Kisse did also but no idea where she was.  Hiding somewhere.  I told Cinder she was in charge!!!

    Got dressed & tried to look presentable then off to town.  Took flower photos in my driveway.  Then on to Jalisco's for supper.  I ate most of it.

    After eating it was my historical group's board meeting.  It was actually fun today.  I did not feel so left out.

    The program tonight at our meeting was done by a friend of mine & another person.  They talked about women & Bethany College from the beginning.  Very interesting.  I enjoyed it.  And someone even made an effort to sit next to me.  That is rare.  I did not try to get a drink & a plate of treats carrying cane.  Someone did offer to get them for me but I decided my BS was probably too high.

    I removed my glucose sensor today.  It just had a few hours to go.  I wonder how many weeks before I get new ones?  They texted me last week & said I could get new ones.  But today they are talking to my doctor to check to make sure my insurance covers them.  Sheesh.  Nothing has changed.  They asked if I had a 2 week supply of them & I said no.  So here I sit.  sticking my finger.

    Much warmer today.  I saw 91 this afternoon.  Ick.  One weather place says storms on thursday.  TV says storms this weekend.  Who knows??

    I cancelled my monday doctor app't.  Scheduled oil change for monday afternoon.  And lunch out on thursday & coffee after lunch.

    Got a card in the mail today from JL.  I loved it!!!  So funny!!  Made my day!!!

    Trash picked up today.  And they put the bins back where I had them.  Amazing.  KN has to arrange them like I like but no hurry.  Makes life so much easier for me.  That in itself is rare.

    LL told me tonight at our board meeting she has something for me at work tomorrow.  OMG!!! Could it be???  Might it be???  A new scanner?!!!  Now I am excited.  Probably only cookies or something.  I will report tomorrow.

And we still have the chair she is sitting on.

Today's Name Day:  Märit , Märta

Had an aunt named Martha.  Sure miss her.  And my other aunt Thelma Arcel.  And Mom.

    

    Today is nothing new.  Just another lonely day at home.  MM sent a couple of texts with photos.  Long email from JL.  

    I called KN to tell him i had a couple of large boxes that were filled with smaller boxes.  He carts them off to his burning place.  I was in the middle of throwing  trash bags out & had a few I had thrown near the trash bins but I had to eat because of low blood sugar.  After I ate when I went outside KN had been here & threw those bags in my trash bin.  Nice.  And my boxes were gone,  Nice again.

    I did mange a nap after throwing trash out.  I just hurt all over.  Plus I am tired beyond belief.  Dry weather after this next weekend.  Hope I feel better then.  

    Have a doctor app't in Hutchinson on monday.  Going to cancel.  Too many things to do.  I am too tired,  They won't do anything for me anyway.  Typical. 

    I keep lowering my insulin & I still run low.  Lowered it again today.  See if that helps.  Tired of eating to keep it ok.  Last night I tried a pudding cup, large serving of gel to raise my blood sugar & a cookie.  Nothing worked.  I have cookies, glucose pills, crackers & pastries in my bedroom.

    Drought is getting worse.  Where I live we are 3 inches of rain short.  Our wheat is desperate.  The corn will be soon.

    I sat outside for a bit this afternoon.  Nice out.  No cattle or anything to photograph,  I am seeing a bluejay often near my house.   Cool.  Just peaceful outside.

    Tomorrow is my historical group board meeting.  I should quit,  I no longer feel part of it.  When they went behind my back to take my job away without warning me or asking if it was ok I no longer feel like I belong in the group.  I was going to stay home but the program is one I do not want to miss.  Will take myself out for supper first,

    No special pictures today.  I found some I had saved so they are mixed in,

Old post card I edited to make it look better.
