03/2026 - Torsdagen den 5:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Still missing my winter.  Going to be an extra long summer.

Today's Name Day:  Tore,  Tove

    Had a better day.  Not a lot of sleep thanks to my phone.  But had a nice cozy nap.  I stretched out on the sofa.  Woke up with Cinder laying on my chest.  Very nice.

    It was foggy overnite & this norning.  Right now there is rain in my area.  Small area.  Stronger storms later.

    Sort of ignored again.  MM sent me photos of Sorion who is here visiting his dad.  I am glad MM sees his kids more often than before.

    Had an enmail from JL.  And my usual morning & bedtime graphics fron C&N.

    I have readers fron Canada.  I like that.  Good people there, unlike here.  We have problems.

    I got so surprised last night.  On Duolingo they actually passed to the next level up.  I was sure I was not doing good enough.  The lessons in Spanish are about weather.  At least something I am familiar with.  Missing my Mexican amigos.  Hope I get to see them tomorrow evening.  Been a loong lonely week for me at home alone.

    No llamas today.  I was asleep.  Dang.

    Photos today are a mix.  I played with some photos that I have taken.  I changed them to B&W then edited them further.  Some are ok.  Some I just don't like.

    Tonight is my favorite tv night.  And just found some shows of Jeff Dunham. Love him.  Got to see him live in Las Vegas.  So funny!!

Main Street in Lindsborg showing from the right:  New tea room that is not open yet, flower shop, Sale BARn on the corner.

Tea room sounds cool.  Selling different teas, oils, spices.  Open soon I hope.

Today's Name Day:  Adrian,  Adriana

When I worked at the White Cross nursing home the owers' last name was Adrian.

    

    Not a good day.  Fell asleep early in bed. Slept nice for a couple of hours.  Then I woke up & that was that.  No more sleep.  Not even in the morning.  Combine no sleep with the increasing pain from my RA was not good.  I did not work today.

    I had hoped to fill better & go out for supper but when I woke up after my nap I just could not get up out of bed.  Slept longer & cancelled supper.  I hate to cancelle work because I like being there but I am learning there is  no one else to take care of me.  Or even care.  Found that out today.  Ignored by everyone except JL.  No one from work even texted me.  I was terrified they were mad at me but I got a nice text this evening.  Must have been a busy day.

    I usually eat out with 3 friends every thursday but tomorrow is cancelled.  No idea why.  I am relieved with that decision.

    With the stormy weather in Kansas last night I got nary a drop of anything,  Coming weather is fog thursday morning.  Storms forming in Oklahoma moving into Kansas in the evening through Friday morning,  Then another band of severe weather starts in Kansas friday night into Saturday morning,  I am in this one also.  Wonder if I get a drop or two.  Then next week around tuesday more storms.  Area is not set yet.

    ​I made a comment on a my fave weatherman ---- Ross Janseen's post.  I complained how the rain always misses my farm near Falun.  And he even answered me asking me how he can help!  If only he could control the weather.  I thanked him & complimented him & his dog.  Just a kind & fun moment.

    I looked out my front door & my llamas were in the pasture again.  Be ready tomorrow about the same time.

    I signed up for Netflix again.  My fave guy on SNL has a special on there.  Want to see.  Found a movie about Pricilla Presley, two about Marilyn Monroe, things from a fave comedian, & several movies that look good.  There are some foreign shows but not what I want.  I prefer British or Swedish.  And clever, not bloody.

    Photos today are mostly ones I have taken.  Not new ones but from the recent past.

3/2026 - Tisdagen den 3:e - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Gunborg,  Gunvor

    A bit better day.  Slept ok last night. Nap today.  So far less pain.

    Ignored by almost everyone except JL, BC, & JR.  No one asks how I am.  If I sleep tonight I will work tomorrow.

    BC is a friend but we do not hang out.  His mother was the president of where I went to nursing school.  Cool lady.  He misses her so much.  But we have started texting each other.  I enjoy his company.  He has some challenges in his life.

    I rarely mention I was a "nurse".  Got treated so bad at the hospital I worked at.  When I started there LPN's were treated with respect.  Eventually they wanted all of us gone.  Even Mom never called me a nurse.  Only the RNs did she call them "real nurses."  So the powers that be & my coworkers treated us badly.  I just never talk about it.  I loved my patients, their families, & many of the doctors.  I learned to try not to ask for assistance.  Likely not to get any.  I did what I could.  Glad I am not there anymore.  Love my jobs now.  Great coworkers.  I am lucky!

    We had fog overnight & this morning.  SnapChat kept showing rain on graphics there.  Duh.  Fooled me.  Fog does not show on radar.  Stayed cool here.  Western Kansas got to the 60s & sun.  We stayed cloudy.  Prefer that.

    Thunderstorms to develope tonight.  I am not included in it as usual.  More chances on friday.  Those storms are to stay east of me or NW of me.  See if my pain increases.

    I found that the mailman put two light weight packages on the top of my trash bins.  God forbid he could walk up to my porch.  I went out on the porch & saw the llamas so grabbed my camera.  While sitting there I saw these white packages on the ground between the trash bins.  New mail.  One package was from eBay that I had a notice almost 2 weeks ago saying it had been delievered.  I never found it.  I looked.  So here it is on the ground in the dirt today.  What??  Mailman got tired & threw the package on the floor of his car & he forgot about it??  Such poor service.  Last week he crammed a box in my mailbox.  It was so large & tight I bet he shoved it in with his feet.  My hands hurt from arthritis & they have little strength.  I almost had to call for help.  Took a while & lots of pain but I finally got it out.  I am thinking about a phone call to complain.

    Hard to get comfy at night.  Turn the heat down then my feet get cold.  Huh???  Turn the heat up & I get too warm.  Even socks do not help my feet.

    Photos are mostly from one place.  Already have some for tomorrow.  Ones I have taken.

I thought so!!!!

Look at the figures on the ground!!!

Sweet birds.

When I worked at the Red Barn an artist I had a special friendship with left this in the window when he went home from his show here.

My front yard with Coco & Charlie, our llamas.  The hill is White Cross Hill.  Has a large white cross on the side of it made of rocks & painted white.
