11/2025 - Miércoles the 12th - MY JOURNEY

 





Today's Name Day:  Mårten, Vibeke, Viveka
Had a cousin Mårten in Sweden.  We never met but we emailes.  He got alheizemers & died in the last year.  He worked all over the world with trains.

    No blog today.  Yesterday I was too tired when I got home from historical group.  Today there is no blog either.  At then end of my work shift I felt really bad & shaky.  Checked my blood sugar & it was dangerously low.  Took some glucose tabs & it got slowly better.  Has left me feeling really rough.  Only photos today.  Better tomorrow.

11/2025 - Lunes the 10th - MY JOURNEY

 


Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces



Today's Name Day:  Martin, Martina
There has been a Martin or two who lived here in town.

    Another not so good day.  Why???   I woke up with a really bad headache.  And it made me nauseous too.  I took pain pills but it took forever for them to work.  I mostly skipped lunch.  Ate one bite of food.  Then Cinder & I napped.  I ate supper ok.  Very slight headache.  Tomorrow is my historical group.  Wish I could stay home.  But it is our Christmas dinner.  I bring the dishes.
    Did not talk to many.  One email & a few texts from MM
    Got down to 20F last night.  Very little wind here.  I felt a little chilly.  Same today.  Much warmer tomorrow.  And the rest of the week.  At least they have mostly removed the 80F day or two in the west.  Far too warm. They have even mentioned snow a time or two.  Could be fun!!
    Some leftover pain from trash yesterday.  Many people do not understand that every major action takes time to heal from.  Many don't understand or want to know.  Somedays I truly feel all alone.
    Photos are a mix of seasonal ones.

11/2025 - Sábado the 09th - MY JOURNEY




Cinder & Nico all snuggled together for a nap.



Today's Name Day:  Teodor, Teodora
My grandpa was Ted Johnson.  I can still hear his laugh.  Greatest one ever!!  Wish he had lived closer.  Never grew up with any family support.  Always the one left out.  No one cared then & no cares now.  I only get used now.

Knew a neighbour or family friend or two named Theodore.
 
    Busy day for me.  Slept good.  Cold night but not the super high winds they forecast.  At least not at my house.  I kept the heat turned on but still sometimes felt chilly.
    Cinder turned off my tv.  Dang.  I had a few boxes I had neglected to throw outside.  Had lunch first.  Now I have a direct path to the tv.  And the tv works again.
    I am watching a rugby match in the Rugby Union Internationals, Game 2.  Teams are the New Zealand All Blacks & Scotland.  I have loved the All Blacks forever.  Could not find them on tv for a while glad they are back.  Close match.  Exciting!!  Best part is NZ doing the Haka pregame.  Love it.
Match just ended.  New Zealand won but it was close and really exciting.  Worth it missing supper to see it.
    Have trash to put in bins but only socks on.  Have to get shoes.  Cannot walk out in socks.  Two good sized sand burr plants by my trash.
    I am feeling good.  About time.  Hope it lasts.  Have had one email & one guilty photo post but god forbid any chatting.  I give up.  I try to tell how I feel & what my day is like.  Sort of one sided.
    MM is quiet today.  But he had a great day yesterday.  Lucky him.  I am always home alone too much.  I don't fit in anywhere to be included with anyone.
    I cleaned up my mouse & lap top.  Now it is too slick for my mouse!!!  A challenge.  Getting better though.
    A few months ago I lost all my insurance cards.  My last memory of them I was in the car.  I tore my car apart. More than once.  Cleaning today I found a purse I not used for a while.  So I went through it just to see what was in it.  OMG!!! There were all my insurance cards.  What a fine moment.  They are now safe in my new purse.  Whew!!!
    Supposed to be quite cold overnight.  Temp is falling slowly now.  Need to go find some shoes.
    Photos a large mix of things.
  




Probably not today.  Too few days like this.

What a fun memory!!  A drinking game played at wedding receptions but this was just in a bar.  Not strong alcohol taste.  Bartender is a dear friend.

Know this all too well.

😔😔

Favorite tv show as a child.  Especially Annette

 We were eating out in Wichita years ago.  A group of ladies were next to us.  The one handed me this bear.  Her name was Susannah so that is what I named the bear also.






I miss having a tree, sending cards, sharing gifts, & family.  No point for just me.  And too active cats!!  José was the only one who ever gave me a gift for Christmas/my birthday.


Sweet



Wish that was me.  How fun it would be.
