9/2026 - Wednesday the 30th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Helge

I have known several Helgas.  One in my nurse classes.  We were sort of friends.  And she died young.  Sad.  At the hospital I had several friends I thought I was close to.  Ha.  I resigned & never heard from any of them again.  I tried but they no longer cared about me.  I no longer try to make friends. 

    Today was ok.  I listened to the weather reports & believed them.  It did rain all day but not as much as they hinted at.  But I was worried.  If it rained hard while at work I might not get back home.  I know exactly how bad the drive can be.  When we first lived here I thought of going to town.  But the water was far out of the creek.  Later when it went down I checked it again.  There was an extra large log laying there under the water.  Could have damaged all sorts of things under my car.  I was watching the water flow over the drive one other time & the hugest turtle I have ever seen was in the water & flowed over the drive.  His rear end was on one side of the drive & his head on the other.  HUGE. Yikes!!!

    Had a couple of emails.  And think I forgot one blog to share.  So if you read one twice, it was my error.  Talk about brain fog.

    This afternoon a line of storms formed & went on for 6 hours or so.  There was at least 10 or 20 tornados.  They all were south & west of here.  Mostly hit open areas & not in towns & homes.  CH 12 was live so as they talked new storms were forming.  Interesting.  The tornadoes did not stay on the ground long.  More rain is forecast with big chances of floods.  I am home all day tomorrow

    I bought a second cat bed.  And what a shock last evening to go in our bedroom & there is a cat in the new bed.  Not Daisy but Kisse.  Cinder stays hidden but got better today.  I gave her extra attention.  We will all be ok.  I hope.  My older cats do not think Daisy's extra energy is cute or fun.  Sorry.  I don't either when she attacks my feet & legs.

    I should have been at work as there was a ceremony concerning something.  Sorry I missed it but it would have not been done until 7pm.  No way I could stay in town that late.  I am sure no one understands.  A quien le importa.

Today's Name Day:  Mikael , Mikaela

Special day.  It is grandson Mikael's name day.  I even sent him a card for it.  And being national coffee day made it more special for him too.  I did good!!!  

    Today was an ok day.  Rainy today.  Nice!!  And no worries about Daisy.  I had 2 large boxes of mail & she tried to escape when I went out to open.  No way.  Rainy!!  She would have got under the house.  Awful!!

    Only one text.  Quiet day.  I am used to it.  But tonight I got a phone call from JR who lives in NY.  Miss her.  Glad we have reconnected.  Talked for almost 2 hours.

    Rain supposed to start later & last all night & day.  Will watch & see how close it gets to my driveway.  Had an inch today.  Very nice.  If it looks like it is getting full I am staying home.  If it would flood while I am at work I might not get home.

    My blood sugar is still a mess.  Runs low too often.  I was running out of things to eat but have cinnamon rolls now.  That will help.  No cookies left here at home.

    Stayed cool all day & night.  Nice sleeping.

    Got another cat bed.  They have been have been missing most of tonight.  At one point Kisse came tearing across me on the sofa followed by Daisy!!  Hope someone likes the new bed.

    Time for bed.  Hoping for more rain.

So cute!! Love this one.

Cool,

Really love this one.

Ready for snow

Love this one.

In my dreams..........

                                                         

        

    

9/2026 - Monday the 28th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Lennart , Leonard

I have known a Leonoard or two.

    Today was great weather.  Hope it lasts.  They have heavy rain forecast starting wednesday or thursday then for several more days. I hope they are correct

    I met my friend RG for a Jalisco lunch.  Not too busy.  Good to see my friends there.  I have sure missed him.  Good conversation.  I know I talk too much when all I have are my cats. I try not to talk to much.

    I did not sleep well last night so I was tired.  Thanks to my 3 cats.  They were restless.  Small moments of hissing.  I let Daisy outside yesterday but not today.  When I went out she did not try to follow.  Maybe the wild animal ife outside is not so good.

    Sure did not take me long to get ready to go to out today.  They already have food out & fresh water.  The wild ones are officially out of water & food.

    Daisy was laying on me on the sofa.  Then she moved to a north window to sleep & look outside.  Now she is back to the sofa.  Laying on my chest.

    No other comments from anyone else today.

    I need groceries but maybe later tonight.  Maybe I can wait until thursday.  No plans for that day.

    The other sort of volunteer is quitting as of today.  I am thinking of maybe changing the days I work. Maybe be easier on me over all,  Thinking about it.

    I have been ill off & on for around 3 weeks.  JR for 2 days.  And a friend was sick yesterday.  He has other health issues but same old stuff like me.  I might need to start wearing a mask.  If I think that will help.  Need to schedule a covid shot & a flu shot.

    Time for spanish.  Has been ok.  I just quit when I feel like it.  Am too tired to care.

This is the end of my sunflowers & all other flowers.  Cool weather perked them up today.

Pink flowers that bloom after rain.  Still looking good.  Too lazy to look them up again.

Leaves have not started changing color yet here.
