5/2026 - Friday 15th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Sofia , Sonja
I have known several Sonjas & a Sofia or two.



      Today started out ok.  Met LL for lunch at the White Peacock,  I had something different.  It was ok.  Will try something different next time.  While eating I swallowed wrong  --- down the wrong way.  I was so embarressed,  Upset LL.  What an idiot.
    Next on my list was to work at the SVAFC.  I love it there.  An awesome art show this month.  I know the artist.  Every morning she paints the sunrise.  But the art today was totally different.  Hard to explain. Will share a photo.  They are like some kind of material,  Makes you want to touch them.  I did not!
And a sunrise.

   Met several nice visitors. Best part of my job there.  I asked about someone I was sure I would end up being friends with but I was wrong. Never seen him again. Why do I even try. He is here but keeps away from me.  I cannot win.  Always mostly alone,
    As the day went on I got more & more tired.  I was even drinking my  V8 Energy. drink.  Did not help.
    Driving home was awful.  I had a pain patch on my knee that failed.  My hands were terribly painful.  Then my neck & shoulders hurt.  That is new.
    I always switch my AC & heat from day to night settings,  or whatever,  I know I did that this morning.  I did but what I did I actually turned it all off!!!  I got home & the house was 85F.   Lordy!!!  It is now just normal in here at 10pm.  Yikes!!!  Poor cats.
    I went to bed for a nap.  Feel better now.  My kitten is still here,  No one else.  I gave her something my indoor cats like.  Man, she scarfed that up.  Do it again now.  Wish the wild life would stay away.  They eat her food & water.  
    I was going to skip blogging but Spanish was not as bad as usual.  I no longer care about it.  I stop when I get tired or stressed.











Flowers onour table at the White Peacoc,k.
Have a new app that will take one photo & pick things out of it to make a collage.  Fun!!

You can rent these bikes in Lindsborg,  Some for two, some for 4.

This sits down the street from my brother,  No idea why but I had to get a photo.

5/2026 - Thursday 14th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Halvard , Halvar


    Today has been a great day.  But something happened last night that has me upset & relieved
    Last night one light grey kitten came home.  She was starving & thirsty.  No other kittens or the mom.  Hope they are all ok but having my doubts.  I checked on her middle of the night.  This morning she was hiding between a couple of boxes to sleep.  Then today I could hear her but nowhere near.  Maybe under the porch.  Tonight she came out to see me.  Last night she rubbed on my feet.  Today I got to pet her.  Wish I could bring her in my house.  Would not work.  Hope she stays.  I will take care of her.  Wish the rest would return.  I have horrible thoughts in my mind.
    Today I had lunch with my thursday friends.  We ate at the Öl Stuga.  Then I drove around the block to get a parking place near the White Peacock. Met the director of the SVAFC & the Red Barn Museum.  We usually only have time to say hello so we had coffee today.  Really nice visit.  I am sure I talked too much.  I try not to.  But I so rarely see anyone & never get to visit.
    Took a nap when I got home.  Now I am playing catch up.
    Got a message from my glucose supplier.  I guess I passed.  Tired of sticking my finger.  Be at least a week --- I am sure --- new ones show up.
    Another warm day.  With 40mph winds.  Hate the wind.  Storm warnings tonight.  I was hopeful we would get some rain.  HA.  It went east of me.  Of course.  Maybe more later?  HA.  Just cannot win.
    Yesterday I felt better.  But today all my pain is back,  Thanks weather.
    Spanish actually went pretty good.  I now know how to say "day after tomorrow".   Pesado mañana.  Scary when I learn something.
