Main Street in Lindsborg showing from the right:  New tea room that is not open yet, flower shop, Sale BARn on the corner.

Tea room sounds cool.  Selling different teas, oils, spices.  Open soon I hope.

Today's Name Day:  Adrian,  Adriana

When I worked at the White Cross nursing home the owers' last name was Adrian.

    

    Not a good day.  Fell asleep early in bed. Slept nice for a couple of hours.  Then I woke up & that was that.  No more sleep.  Not even in the morning.  Combine no sleep with the increasing pain from my RA was not good.  I did not work today.

    I had hoped to fill better & go out for supper but when I woke up after my nap I just could not get up out of bed.  Slept longer & cancelled supper.  I hate to cancelle work because I like being there but I am learning there is  no one else to take care of me.  Or even care.  Found that out today.  Ignored by everyone except JL.  No one from work even texted me.  I was terrified they were mad at me but I got a nice text this evening.  Must have been a busy day.

    I usually eat out with 3 friends every thursday but tomorrow is cancelled.  No idea why.  I am relieved with that decision.

    With the stormy weather in Kansas last night I got nary a drop of anything,  Coming weather is fog thursday morning.  Storms forming in Oklahoma moving into Kansas in the evening through Friday morning,  Then another band of severe weather starts in Kansas friday night into Saturday morning,  I am in this one also.  Wonder if I get a drop or two.  Then next week around tuesday more storms.  Area is not set yet.

    ​I made a comment on a my fave weatherman ---- Ross Janseen's post.  I complained how the rain always misses my farm near Falun.  And he even answered me asking me how he can help!  If only he could control the weather.  I thanked him & complimented him & his dog.  Just a kind & fun moment.

    I looked out my front door & my llamas were in the pasture again.  Be ready tomorrow about the same time.

    I signed up for Netflix again.  My fave guy on SNL has a special on there.  Want to see.  Found a movie about Pricilla Presley, two about Marilyn Monroe, things from a fave comedian, & several movies that look good.  There are some foreign shows but not what I want.  I prefer British or Swedish.  And clever, not bloody.

    Photos today are mostly ones I have taken.  Not new ones but from the recent past.

3/2026 - Tisdagen den 3:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Gunborg,  Gunvor

    A bit better day.  Slept ok last night. Nap today.  So far less pain.

    Ignored by almost everyone except JL, BC, & JR.  No one asks how I am.  If I sleep tonight I will work tomorrow.

    BC is a friend but we do not hang out.  His mother was the president of where I went to nursing school.  Cool lady.  He misses her so much.  But we have started texting each other.  I enjoy his company.  He has some challenges in his life.

    I rarely mention I was a "nurse".  Got treated so bad at the hospital I worked at.  When I started there LPN's were treated with respect.  Eventually they wanted all of us gone.  Even Mom never called me a nurse.  Only the RNs did she call them "real nurses."  So the powers that be & my coworkers treated us badly.  I just never talk about it.  I loved my patients, their families, & many of the doctors.  I learned to try not to ask for assistance.  Likely not to get any.  I did what I could.  Glad I am not there anymore.  Love my jobs now.  Great coworkers.  I am lucky!

    We had fog overnight & this morning.  SnapChat kept showing rain on graphics there.  Duh.  Fooled me.  Fog does not show on radar.  Stayed cool here.  Western Kansas got to the 60s & sun.  We stayed cloudy.  Prefer that.

    Thunderstorms to develope tonight.  I am not included in it as usual.  More chances on friday.  Those storms are to stay east of me or NW of me.  See if my pain increases.

    I found that the mailman put two light weight packages on the top of my trash bins.  God forbid he could walk up to my porch.  I went out on the porch & saw the llamas so grabbed my camera.  While sitting there I saw these white packages on the ground between the trash bins.  New mail.  One package was from eBay that I had a notice almost 2 weeks ago saying it had been delievered.  I never found it.  I looked.  So here it is on the ground in the dirt today.  What??  Mailman got tired & threw the package on the floor of his car & he forgot about it??  Such poor service.  Last week he crammed a box in my mailbox.  It was so large & tight I bet he shoved it in with his feet.  My hands hurt from arthritis & they have little strength.  I almost had to call for help.  Took a while & lots of pain but I finally got it out.  I am thinking about a phone call to complain.

    Hard to get comfy at night.  Turn the heat down then my feet get cold.  Huh???  Turn the heat up & I get too warm.  Even socks do not help my feet.

    Photos are mostly from one place.  Already have some for tomorrow.  Ones I have taken.

I thought so!!!!

Look at the figures on the ground!!!

Sweet birds.

When I worked at the Red Barn an artist I had a special friendship with left this in the window when he went home from his show here.

My front yard with Coco & Charlie, our llamas.  The hill is White Cross Hill.  Has a large white cross on the side of it made of rocks & painted white.

3/2026 - Måndag den 2:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Erna,  Ernst

Known at least one Ernest.  Maybe two.

    Had a better day.  Went to bed last night around 10pm.  And fell asleep right away.  Woke. up around 3am to check my iPhone.  Hate to ignore Lindsborg Now too long.  When I do something bad always happens.  Over 8000 people members on it & as a group they are not to be trusted.  But all was well on my. phone.  Not in the world though.  We have opened an awful can or worms.

    Today was ok.  I slept this morning.  Then a nap on my sofa this afternoon.

    There was ice early this morning.  No idea if we got any here but we were in the area.  Watch was over by 8am.

    I stepped out on my porch briefly & there were the llamas near my yard.  Dang.  No phone.  No photo.  Next time.  Old photo here.  Coco & Charlie.

    Less pain today but expect that to change with our messed up weather.  At least we are not having super warm weather.  Yet.

    The photos today are a mix.

Love pictures from Sweden.  Especially snowy ones.  Where my ancestors are from & some still live they have ski slopes there.  Near Järvsö.  Great photos.

Read texts on some of the photos.  Cute.

Love these tea pictures!!!

Read the book name.

AI me.  This is a fantasy!!!
