12/2025 - Martes the 30th - MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Set, Kelsey, Mason
My neighbour's daughter is Kelsey.  Have known a Mason.

    
    Slept good last night.  I watch my blood sugar so it does not go too low.  Cinder stays close as does Kisse.  Like having them close to me.
    Got cold over night but warm today.  I wore my coat tonight but did not need it.  One never knows.
    I braved the back bathroom to shampoo my hair.  Was warm & water was ok.  I got a hold of my hair stylist & his first opening is January 22.  Hard to believe but maybe he is punishing me for cancelling when I did not feel well.  Sorry.  My first to do thing is take care of me.  Tough.  At that appointment will find a day to color my hair.  Then back to normal.
    Emails with JL.mail
    I had planned to work tomorrow but I have been invited out to lunch & coffee/cake in the afternoon.  Cancelled work for tomorrow.  Tired of watching every one else have fun times with friends.  So I an going to also.  Will work on friday.  And lunch with LL.  Seeing MM tomorrow at noon also.
    The mailman crammed my mailbox full of small packages.  What a mess.  They are in to open in a minute.
    My phone is a total mess.  I have deleted tons of photos & programs.  Still is not working right.  Next week I will see what Verizon has to say.  If they have any way to help me.  Would hate to drop them.  JR looked on his service to see what kind of phones they are selling.  None of them have hardly any storage.  What the hell???  Makes no sense.  Nothing I do helps.
    TV is boring tonight.  Nothing to watch.
    I have decided to pull away from things & people.  I got far to involved in Christmas.  No more.  A couple of happy happy but not a dozen every day.  I no longer care how many I get.  No wonder I felt awful most of the time.  I want the holidays over & my life back.
    JR & I ate supper at Jalisco's.  They were moderately busy.  I knew almost no one.  My cousin & her husband come in often.  She rarely if ever says hi or smiles at me.  He husband almost always smiles, or waves, or says hi.  How I love family.
    Think I can leave the water not dripping tonight.  Gets expensive.  But I love when I get a glass of water it is very cold.  No basement so the pipes get cold.  In summer the water sucks.  Luke warm.  Ick,
    Photos are the usual.  Several more Christmas lights.  There was one house I really wanted a photo of.  Got it tonight.

AI Me again.  Wish my hair was this red!!!

12/2025 - Lunes the 29th - MY JOURNEY

 





Today's Name Day:  David, Able
Willie's best friend was David.  I never see him.  Had a friend whose last name was Able.

    Not a bad day.  Ignored by the usual people.  No surprise.  Have emailed JL several times.  Cancelled supper with a short message from JR.  Not much else.  Some texting with a Mexican friend since it is her daughter's birthday.  Sweet friends.
    It is cold today & supposedly some breezes.  But I feel nothing here.  We have a strong wind break on the north side of our house.  I sat outside for a while sorting mail.  It felt cold.  Not much mail.  Mostly cat food.  They were out.
    My phone continues to be a mess.  Have purchased something that may help.  Or not.  Driving me crazy.
    I am tired of this year & ready for a new one.  Not felt good since my big fall earlier.  Really upset my life.  I continue to be scared.  No bueno.  And tired of all the tiresome family & friend fun others get to have.  I have neither or a support group.  Just me.
    Worked on genealogy & got caught up.  One guy was totally wrong about people.  Should have ignored him.  My one Swedish family I spent time with when there posted many photos.  So nice to see them.  Wish they kept in touch better.  I should also.
     On the news they just said that 40% of older people feel lonely.  No shit.  Not much choice when there is no one for me.  Probably should have went out to eat tonite.  Maybe I would feel better.  Maybe.  But those who should care or used to care no longer do.  😿
    New Years will be quiet.  Just need to decide what jammies to wear in my living room!!! 😁
    Hope TV is ok tonight.  Last night was good.  Latin Music show.
    Photos are snowy.

Old, old photo of my church.  A fave photo.

12/2025 - Domingo the 28th - MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Jasper, Woodrow
My cousin's father-in-law was Woodrow.

    Had an ok day.  Slept good.  I set my alarm really early to get my water dripping about the time it got really cold.
    Cinder slept with me off & on.  Kisse was near.  Once in the middle of the night there were no cats near me.  Who knows where they were?
    Had a middle of the night photo from MM & Gracie.  But nothing today.  A short email from JL.  Eating something made her ill yesterday so quiet today.  Hope she is better.  CF sent me photos of his now but nothing else.
    We had mist during the night & snow started really early today.  Long before I got up.  I made it out on the porch for a few photos.  I did not move much.  Carport is or was full of snow.  Scared to move much.  And did not try to walk down the steps.  Best to avoid places where I could slip & fall.
    Decided to stay home today.  Lindsborg might be ok but Burma Road could be icy & snow packed.  Best to stay home.  I did read where the interstate was slick & scary.  Maybe eat tomorrow evening.  Roads should be better but still very very cold.
    Spanish is going well.  For now.  And my Mexican friends are flying home today.  How lucky they were to be with family in Mexico.  I can dream.  Had my chance & blew it.
    The Julbok in Gävle Sweden collapsed in a bad storm today or yesterday.  Better than fire!  There is a video of him falling apart!!  Here is a clip from it.  See him lean.  Ended up in a pile of straw.
    I am sick of TV.  Dish has Holiday Dish Scapes.  I am watching some old ones now.  A fave is on now.  And Christmas music.  I never listened to Santa Baby or Blue Christmas.  Do those later.  Been a tough holiday time for me.
    Wish there was something good for supper here.  Boring stuff.  Sigh.  I read about a new cool eating plac/bar opening in Abilene.  It is on my list of places to go.  If. JR cannot get up early to eat at noon I am going alone.  Looks great!!!  I know the street it is on but not exactly where.  Saddles & Spurs.
    Photos are of my snow here & other wintry stuff.

My snow photos are first here.  Me in my slippers.












Two cute photos of cats.











Think this is my church in Sweden








Two AI photos of me.  Playing again.
