8/2026 - Monday the 31th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Vidar , Arvid
I knew several men named Arvid.


    Today started not good.  Woke up early & got sick.  Went back to bed & slept ok.  Cinder bothered me often during the night.  Later we both slept.
    I had one short email & that was all I got.  Several friends knew about my doctor's appointment & not one has asked how it was.
    I ate little for lunch & had no problems with it.  Took a short nap with both cats nearby.
    HOT weather again.  I saw 105F here.  And windy.  I got mail before supper.  So I was out working in the 100+ temps again.  Awful.  I got cat food, tv dinners, added a couple of boxes to my trash bins.  Still have a couple of things to still bring in.  Soon. Then Daisy helped me work.  She is the only one.
    My car tag ends today.  Paid them 2-3 weeks ago.  Called the tag office.  KN helped me know what to do.  They said that all of August is done.  If I get stopped for having the wrong tag it will show I am ok.  I hope they are correct.
    So far supper is ok.  I am hopeful.  See how the night goes.  Few pictures today.  Nothing special.


Boy do I!!!









No duh!



So true........











Miss him.  He never called yesterday or today.

8/2026 - Sunday the 30th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Albert , Albertina
I had a neighbour named Albert.  His son became friends with me as a child & adult & JR when they were adults..  Remember a lady name Albertina


    Today was a really bad day.  I slept ok but got sick when I woke up.  Then a bit better.  Ate lunch & felt ok.  Then got very sick again.  Went for a nap.  Miserable.
    I got up around 4pm & went to check on Daisy to make sure she had food & water.  I loved her a bit.
    Then the boxes in my yard got the best of me.  Temp was only 106.4F.  Good time to work outside?  NO.  Alone.  Trash comes on tuesday.  I picked up all the large boxes & filled both my bins.  No one has offered to help so sick or not I got all the large ones picked up.  Thank goodness I had the broom to balance me.  I almost fell on my face once.  Oh to have someone or anyone to help clean up those boxes.  Be gone on tuesday.  And you wonder why I an stressed!!!!  Alone with NO help sucks.


    Everyone has been sick.  On saturday both inside cats & me were sick.  I was scared Kisse was dying,  But last night she was up in the evening & running over me in bed at night.  Cinder refused her treats all day.  JS was supposed to call me today.  He did not.  Home sick in bed,  And me.  At least the cats are ok.
Last night I had clear vision to start with when I turned the lights out in my room..Woke up a couple of hours later & my vision was partly clear & partly with black spots all over.
    Time for supper.  Think I will stick with some lunch meat & pudding.  Two cups tonight.  Maybe a cookie or maybe not.  See how sick I feel.  Luckily I am off the next 2 days so hopefully I am good to work this week.  They have to be sick of me.  I am sick of me.
