4/2026 - Tisdagen den 28:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Tyra , Ture
Think I worked with a Tyra.  Not sure.  Known a Ture in Sweden or two.


    Today could have been better.  No sleep.  Awake until 7am.
    Fed my 6 kittens.  All here.  Did not see mom.  Might have shown up later.  I hope.  Fed the babies later before my supper.
    I had a nice nap after lunch.
    So surprised.  Trash was picked up & the bins were put back where we had them.  Did the trash guys do that?  Or was KN here?  Need to call & ask.  I carried no trash out today,  Still severe pain all over my body.   Difficult to even sit on the sofa.  Tomorrow will be a challenge.
    I have learned something.  There were people who once included me in things.  But not any more.  Have I done something?  Am I too old, too crippled, too ugly?  I am sad.  But life changes so be it.  I cannot change how others accept me.
    Stayed cool today,  Barely made it to the 60s.  Love it.  Made snuggling during my nap good.  Hope I can sleep tonight. 
    Managed to see today's soaps.  Already!  Nice.  My coworker is on TV in Wichita again about Mill Fest.  Our new TV star!!  Watching it now.  Cool.  He did really good & brought breakfast for the station!!!!
    Saw no cattle or llamas today.  Should sit outside with my camera to get kitten photos.

4/2026 - Måndag den 27:e - MY JOURNEY

 


The Scheme.  Very cool place.  Pizza place & bar.  Need to go there again.


Today's Name Day:  Engelbrekt


    Today. was ok.  Yesterday I only counted 4 kittens.  Today all 6 are here & Miss Kitty.  They were hungry!!!
    Cooler today.  Only in the 60s.  Nice.  Staying a bit cooler for a few days.  Wish it would last all summer.  Dreading the heat, humidity, & bugs.  And severe weather.
    Salina got hit quite hard last night.  Winds of 70+mph, huge hail, damage to homes & cars.  Big clean up today.  Glad it missed here.
    After lunch I forced myself to carry out 10 bags of trash despite having severe pain.  Some were way too heavy for me to carry.  Almost died.  After those bags I took a nap.  Cinder stayed nearby.  Kisse in the bedroom.  Planned to take more trash out when I woke up.
    Saw no cattle outside but near supper I saw the llamas out my window.  Too sore to go outside.  Maybe tomorrow.
    I was going to try to carry more bags of trash outside but decided I hurt far too much.  If I had a volunteer or two to help I might have tried but who cares.  No one offered & I refuse to beg.  Either you care or you don't.  Can do them next week.  Maybe I will feel better.
    This weekend is Mill Fest at the Old Mill.  On friday they have kids from dozens of schools visiting & seeing many displays of activities.  I cannot work that day.  No parking.  No lunch out & no work.  On saturday they turn the Old Mill on ----- loud, building totally shakes, etc.  No kids allowed in.  Too dangerous.  All the belts & gears are open to the air.  They used to make flour but quit years ago.  Too much work to clean up.  We do sell flour from a different mill.  And now our pancake mix.  Wish I could get there on saturday to just sit & listen to the musical groups we have.  But.  Again.  No parking.  Cannot walk that far to get there.  Always miss.  Always.  Maybe should hire someone to drive & pick me up when done.  Might try that.
    My left leg is killing me today.  Knee & ankle severe pain.  I put on some pain patches.  Not helping.  Trying what I use as pain med.  Hope it helps.  Not one of my doctors will give me anything for pain.  Nice of them.  Was better when I napped.
    No cats for supper.  They were awake late this afternoon.  Maybe napping under the house.  I got brave & picked up one kitten this noon.  Not a happy camper but sooo sweet!!!
    Photos are flowers & local photos I have taken.  Nothing special.












These are near to the Methodist Church.

Nico on guard duty.  Lordy I miss him.

Nico all curled up for a nap.

Willie.  Miss him more every day.  Need to fix his grave flowers.  Have some new ones.
