12/2025 - Martes the 23rd - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Natalie, Hart

    Today arthritis rules my life.  Same as yesterday & last night.  I needed help with running an errand.  MM did it for me.
    Other than that a very quiet day.  Alone as usual.
    Missed trash day.  And I do not care.  It won't run away.
    I have no holiday spirit.  Want it over.  Tired of all the photos of others with family, friends, & support groups.
    No blog today.  Maybe tomorrow.

Photos of a Christmas Train.  Love it.  Wish there was one near we could ride.


















Tree growing in the road going by my house.  Think it is ruined now by the the county road crew,


Nico as Santa.  Love this one & him

AI Me.  Fun to see!!  Having fun playing.

12/2025 - Lunes the 22nd - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Asta, Tristan
The nurse in charge of the nursing school I went to was Asta.  Loved her.  Still friends with her son.  She was a school nurse in California & one of her students was Raquel Welch.  Cool.

    Just a quiet day.  One email, couple of photos, not much.  And super warm.  Low was 36F, high was 63F.  No bueno.  Where is winter????  Hate our weathermen who just cannot laugh enough about our heat.  The entire state of Kansas will be breaking high temp records.  But cold temps return next sunday.
    Have had no water all day.  They are working again & supposed to be done by 1pm.  Hahaha.  It is 5pm & no water.  The cats have enough water so far, but I have none.
    Had an eye doctor appointment for tomorrow, but changed it until after the holidays.  I have appointment in Wichita to cancel..  Hate having KN take me.  He does like driving there.  And there is no one else.  Need to find a doctor near me.  Get old & lose your fave doctors.  Not fair.  Expensive to hire someone to take me.
    Extra pain today & last night.  Needed to carry trash out but cannot do that in pain.  No one to help today.  Or most days.
    JR & I do have some where to eat on Christmas Eve.  Rest of the holiday is nothing.  Have not driven around town to look at Christmas lights.  See if JR wants to or not.  Can just take me alone.
    Kansas has just added a new football team & maybe baseball team also.  Does not affect me.  Not a sports fan.
    Lots of flu & colds in this area & not had my shots yet.  Shot might not cover the flu this year.  Put a mask in my purse for big crowds.  I have a nose spray that supposedly kills viruses.  And a spray for my car.  I should spray in a crowded restaurant.  People would love that!!!  And I use lots of hand sanitizer.
    Photos are the usual.

Love this one.

What a mess!!!!







Want this here.

12/2025 - Domingo the 21st - MY JOURNEY






Today's Name Day:  Tomas
I have known several Thomases both here & in Sweden.  Friends with a Swedish one or two now.  And KN 's uncle is Tom.

    Had a good day.  Slept good last night.  Nice for a change.  Cinder layed on or near me for most of the night.  Love that.  Kisse came for some attention several times.
    Sort of chilly over night but warm today.  I want my winter.  But I rarely get what I want.  Maybe in january.  I hope.
    Got in a very short nap then I was up getting ready for supper.  Met NSP & CG at Pizza Hut.  I did not overeat so felt ok.  We never were quiet for a minute.  Great fun.      
    And surprised to find out NSP' s childhood was a little or a lot like mine.  Two of my aunt's talked to me as an adult & they were aware of how my life was but none of them made an effort to help me.  Or they tried & it did not go well.  I never asked.  My Denver relatives were the only ones who treated me as family & made me feel loved.  Sure miss them.
    We had a new waiter tonight.  He had a great sense of humor.  He even teased me a couple of times & even jokingly flirted once.  Nice to have a little attention.  Missing some friends who are too busy to see me.  Hope the new waiter stays for a while.  I liked him.
    I thought I ate enough but my glucose just dropped to 69.  Had a cookie.  And a cheese cracker with peanut butter.  Yummy!
    Kids have been quiet since I got home.  Had an email from JL.  Text from MM last night.  Quiet.  I am ready for the holidays to be over.  I cried on the way to town this afternoon.  Wanting what I cannot have, tired of watching almost everyone making plans.  But I do know several who are as alone as I am.  Sad times.  Have Mom & Willie & Nico on my mind.
    Photos are the usual.

Art shared at my Swedish group years ago.








These hang on Main Street in the winter time..  All are handmade.





 
These are somewhere in Lindsborg Ks..  See if I can find them this year.

My mom took a class & made this about her life & family..  The Old Mill might have it now have to check.


Love this one!!

So lovely!!





AI me again.  Playing.
