04/2026 - Torsdagen den 9:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Ottilia,  Otto
Had an ancestor or two named Ottilia.  One of our favorite dogs was Otto, a border collie.  He was special.


    Had a strange day.  Super high blood pressure at home so I went to Urgent Care Clinic at the hospital.  Blood pressure there was great.  Still sort of high but not like at home.  I guess all is well.  The staff was super nice, caring, & joking.  Been a long week & a half.  Now.  Home alone in silence.
    Quite warm today.  In the 80s.  Had a shower this morning.  Not much.  Heavier rain forecast for tonight.  Strong winds all day today.
    Email from JL.  Nice to have someone caring to communicate with.  Wish we lived near each other.  No one else asks how I am or checks on me.  I know my place.  Helping only goes in one direction & that is not towards me.  No matter what.
    Got home from the hospital & the electric company was here trimming trees off their wires.  Not been outside to see how they look.  Or are they are all cut down.
    Managed a short nap.
    Fed the cats outside.  And hopefully the new bag of food is here.  Counted 5 kittens & Mom.  Had cattle near my yard today.  I was suprised.  Llamas too.
    Not changed earrings in years.  Got new ones in the mail today.  Look nice.
    Mix of drawings today.

Hospital check in desk.


Love moose.


















Long time favorite of mine.





I did not share,  Shame at me!!!

4/2026 - Onsdag den 08:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Nadja,  Tonja
Knew or worked with several Tonyas.

    Not the best day.  Feeling better but my blood pressure is off.  If still bad tomorrow will see the doctor.  Little sleep overnight but a good nap today.
    When I just laid down for my nap JS called to chat.  He had just gotten off work & headed to Lowes.  Nice visit.  Good to see & hear him.
    Email from JL.  I enjoy her company.  Long text from MM.  Even a sort of apology for not texting me more often.  Very nice.  Ready to relocate.  And hoping his sons are here this summer.  Maybe I will get to see them.
    Saw yesterday that my 6 kittens are eating food.  Real food.  Lordy that is a lot of food!!!  Must order more now!!  Will be here tomorrow.
    Strong winds again today.  At least 40+.  Hard to open the front door.  I saw a high of 81F.  Usch.  Rain west of us here.  I am sure I will get nothing.  But it is getting cloudy & the temperature is dropping a little.  The weather just declared a severe storm.  Chances of rain from today through next wednesday.
    No cattle again.  I wonder if they are not allowed over here for some reason.  Late yesterday I saw 1 llama.  The other one might have been there just hidden.  Miss them.
    Cleaned up trash in my bedroom last night.  What a mess I had.  All gathered now.
    Cleaned out my saved photos.  Easier to find ones to share.
    Have my AC figured out.  I have the cool settings & the heat settings set.  Just select what I want.
    Skipping lunch out tomorrow.  If BP is still not good I will go to the walk clinic in the hospital.
    Supper time now.  Want something different.  Like that is going to happen!







Funny!!

Love this one.





Cool.









Love these books.  Want to order a couple more to read.  Read one so far.


Funny!
