10/2026 - Thursday the 8th - MY JOURNEY

 

Had a group in bed with me this afternoon  One cat against my back, another one against my legs, & the last one in the new bed. All calm & friendly.

Today's Name Day:  Nils

I have known several with this name.  My grandfather was Nils & then changed it to Nels.  Have Swedish friends called Nils.  I think there were a couple of guys in school with this name of at least a middle name.

    Today was an ok day. Had hand pain until around supper time.  Guess I will survive.  Think it was a mini flare.  The long weekend without my furnace took its toll me & then having someone insult me over my feelings.  Hard to feel good about me.

    Nice weather today.  Our low was 57F & our high was 90F.  Need to lose any of the 90s.  Next week it gets cooler & rain.

    Why do I watch the national news.  It is always stomach turning.  Much worse today.

    My friend JL sent me a couple of emails.  I always appreciate her.  Very short text from MM.  That was it.

    My friend RG is going home this weekend. Too short a visit.  Having supper tomorrow evening.  And for some reason our phones cannot call each other.  Must fix that.

    Took a cozy nap this afternoon.  When I woke up Cinder was curled next to my back,  Kisse was in the new bed & Daisy was curled next to my legs.  I could hardly believe what I saw.

    I need to go get mail in my mail box.  Just too lazy.  But will go before dark.

Cute

Today's Name Day:  Britta , Birgitta

I have known people these names.  Mostly friends  or family in Sweden.  Have one friend whose name has Brit is part of it.  Wish I had a cool name.

    Last night right after supper my right wrist, thumbs, & fingers started hurting with a severe episode of pain.  I put on a pain patch that did nothing.  Hurt all night.  Woke up to the same pain.  Hard to get out of bed or do anything.  I stayed home.

    Pain continues tonight & is spreading to my left wrist.  RA has won as usual.  Nothing has been good since my furnace died & the mouse died.  I got a package in the mail.  I managed one handed.  No wonder the pain is spreading.  I might be having a flare.  Too much stress from the situation & being insulted that still hurts.

    JL sent me a text.  LL & I chatted when I called in.  Everyone else ignored me.  Normal day.

    Weather was pretty good,  Low was in the 60 - 70.  Today was in the 80s.  House felt great.  In this nice weather I miss Daisy being outside.  But she has finally quit following me to the front door.  Don't want to undo that.  All 4 of us napped together.  Daisy curled up by my shoulders for a long time.  And cuddled. Made my day.

    Blood sugar a bit better.  I did not eat last night. A blessing.

Last photo of 3 of my uncles.  From the left are Harlan, Orin, & Merle who was dying from cancer & in Bethany Home,  Think my 4th uncle ws already gone.  Went to his funeral with Merle.  One did not like me at all.  One was ok with me.  I adored Merle but love another niece 10x more than me.  One & I had the same birthday.  He was 20 years older.

Our sunday friends we eat out with. So much fun!!!

Old old Bethany College photo from a parade.  In front of our movie theater, The Plaza.

My new lamp.  Might get one for the living room.  No cords.

Willie & Jo.  Want them back.  Miss them.  Alone is not good.

Willie & Jo.  Willie before dementia & alcoholism
