7/2026 - Thursday the 9th- MY JOURNEY

 

White Peacock flower on my table

Today's Name Day:  Jörgen , Örjan

I had an uncle named Oren.  He was Mom's youngest brother.

    Today was a good day.  Slept good.  Less pain.  Tired of my arm hurting.

    Had lunch with the thursday friends.  We ate at the White Peacock.  I had a yummy sandwich & iced green tea.  Not much of a crowd there.  When lunch was over my friends got up & walked out the door.  And there I sat there alone.  No one said good bye or anything.  A few hours later one wrote me to apologise.  Always forgotten.

    I had to leave early to get to Salina for a haircut.  Great to see Henry.  He makes my day!  Hair looks great!!

    On the way home I stopped at Jim's Chicken & brought home a chicken dinner.  And somehow got an extra piece!!  Very good!!!  Two good meals in one day.  Unheard of!!!  Nice.

    At the Peacock I got to meet a dozen cousins of mine I have never met.  FB friends with a couple of them.  I knew their parents for many years.  They are gone & most of these kids live around Chicago.  Great to meet them all!!!  They related to my mom's mom.

    Last night Cinder was upset over something.  Not sure if she & Kisse were fighting but Kisse was normal.  Cinder was even upset with me.  ME of all people!!!  Maybe she wanted more food.  There was dry food but not the fancy wet ones.  She calmed down after eating.  Or maybe she smelled Daisy on me.  Who knows. OK tonight.

    Got hot today.  I saw 95F.  Some breeze.  Ick.  Severe weather south & west of me.  Will some get here???  Who knows.  Looks like the 90s will last until August or longer.  I hate summer.  Even the house is too warm today.  Clouds would help.

    Almost all my photos are on my laptop today.  So I am sharing some of Daisy.

    Yesterday I got home & some of my yard has been mowed.  I tried to call KN but no answer.  And he never called me today.  I am scared he is upset with me.

Who knows.  I am wrong a lot.

    I am having some scary things going on with my eyes.  See my eye doc next tuesday.  Scared of going blind. 

    My good friend & cousin ND & I talked for an hour just now.  Wish I could get to Denver to see her.  No friends & no family to help me get there.

    I have two young friends who make sure to give me a hug & make sure I feel ok.  Almost no one I know ever asks how I am.  And I always feel guilty if I am hurting & not normal.  No one tries to make me feel like it is ok to take care of me.

    Today is my grandson CF's birthday.  His family in Minnesota had a big get together for him.  Of course all I got was a photo.  Not part of anything.  Need to stop thinking or I will start to cry.

    Now crying.

Me & Daisy

What a pose!!

7/2026 - Wednesday the 8th- MY JOURNEY

 

Mom made this in a class she took.  It is about her life with my dad.  We may donate it to the Old Mill.  No family left who wants anything.  Sad.

Today's Name Day:  Kjell

    Today was not good.  Sleep was rare.  My arm where I had a shot is really painful.  Kept me awake.  Think I am having a reaction to the medication in it.  I read all they gave me.  Nothing too serious but with no sleep hard to function.

    I had an appointment at my one bank & dared not miss it.  So I rested a while & off I went.  To the bank.  Then to get meds I ordered.  Then supper with JR at Jalisco's.  The newest guy actually spoke to me.  We greeted each other in spanish.  MS was off but AH was working.  I managed to get back to the kitchen to say hi!  And got a little hug.  And he made sure I was ok since I saw the doctor this week.  Nice that someone cares.  And I joked with PS.  He calls me Tia.  (aunt)

    I sat out for a long long time tonight with Daisy.  I had a chair I sat in.  She was all over me & lots of purring.  And she figured out how to climb up on me & then get on the porch.  Smart kitty!  I have photos that are on my phone but not my laptop.  Hope you get to see them tomorrow.  I am going to have to call the phone company but I just have no time.

    Super hot today.  I saw 97F here today.  But low humidity.  It rained in Lindsborg while we were eating. Had around 0.15".  Maybe more later.

                                                                                     

      

7/2026 - Tuesday the 7th- MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Klas

    Today was a good day of rest at home alone.  I had few spoons to use.  Yesterday really wore me out.  Inside cats sort of stayed close.

    HOT today,  I saw 95 & not much breeze.  Humidity was low.  That is why we get no rain.  Rain & storms possible on Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday.  Time will tell.  As usual I am sure we will miss out.

    I got some mail.  And two boxes came open with individual servings of cat food.  What a mess but I gathered them up easily.  And Daisy joined me on sitting on the steps.  She curled in my lap & purred,  I gave her a reward,  Her fave food

    None of my pictures made it to my laptop.  All photos are old, old ones.  So if they look familiar, they are.  Drives me nuts.

    I need supper.  Hungry.  And thirsty.

The library that was on the Bethany Collelge campus.  I remember it burned down.  It was a cool building.
