01/2026 - Saturdag the 18th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Fredrik , Fritz

There were several local men named Fritz here. But my first son-in-law is Fred. Good guy. I like him. Think there at least one Fred in school when I was in high school.

Today is just another day at home with no communication. Very quiet.

Awful weather. Right now it is 97F outside. Luckily the humidity is low & there is a light breeze.

I went outside to give Daisy some fresh water. I sat on my bench. Scrunched all the trash that is outside. Wish it was gone. Adds to my stress. Think only me & my eye doctor care how I am. And the 4 friends who always ask how I am. They are the best. Glad I have them.

Daisy was so sweet. She was on my lap. We rubbed noses & faces. She purred as she curled up on me. And she kneaded my lap as she "made tacos!"

I tried to fall asleep this afternoon but I just rested.

While sitting outside I swear I saw a bluebird. Used to have them on my fence. Not many but a few. And I almost always see a flycatcher near my mailbox daily. Pretty bird.

KN said he would get a new latch for my front door but not seen or heard from him yet. He probably has more important things to do. Farm stuff?? Date night? Wouldn't that be fun? No dates for me. Not even with girlfriends. Just me.

Watching my last soccer match. Don't care about this one. No one to share with. I tried early in FIFA but I was told to be quiet. And I do. Do not want to ruin it for anyone who might read this. The second half is totally different than the first. Very cool. I love soccer!!!

Decided to cut how many graphics I share. No more than 12. Or less. Sure no one cares how many I share, if any.

Extra pain today. Maybe the change in weather. I always hurt. Does not matter. There is a fibro & pain website I like. Every night after midnight they do a "roll call" of who is awake. We post our location & our time. And how we feel. I like that they ask. So few care today.

7/2026 - Friday the 17th- MY JOURNEY

Photos from work today. The box is my new box of photos. Full!!

Today's Name Day: Bruno

Today was a good day. I slept pretty good.

I had a message from KN. My front door ---- screen door ---- has been broken since one of our high wind storms. But two days ago I could not keep it closed for anything. I asked KN to come look at it to see if it was fixable. He fixed it except it needs a latch. Will do that tomorrow. I am so relieved.

While eating lunch I spilled part of my juice in my lap. Had to change clothes. Dang. What a clutch.

Work was good. But no one will help me with the error my scanner keeps making. LL came home from her trip with a cold. She stayed away from me so we did not get to talk. I have a nose spray I use when ever I am not home. It is good for 9 hours of killing germs, viruses, etc. I think it helps.

I finished a large box of photos. And started a new huge box of more photos. I am almost done with the first bunch. Only 2 tiny photos left.

Supper was at Jalisco's. As I left for home there was a huge rain cloud to the west. Nothing here yet. Dang. Last chance for rain for at least 10 day. Days of warnings for heat start this weekend. Ick. I hate summer. I have a doctor's appointment on monday in Hutchinson. I do not want to drive alone on the hottest day of the year. Will change. My safety is more important.

I was so tired and tried to nap when I got home.. Failed. But my laptop is working propertly. For a change.

Cinder came to find me when I got home. I fed Daisy. She gets fed one more time. Not seen Kisse yet. But I have not walked down the hall yet.

White Peacock patio.

Love this one.

This is so sweet

7/2026 - Thursday the 16th- MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Reine , Reinhold

Today was a good day, but yesterday was not a good day. Just plain worn out from stress & seeing my eye doctor. I brought supper home but it made me sick. I did not work. on wednesday..

My eye doctor was scared I had a very bad eye illness. But luckily I do not. My symptoms are very blurry vision when trying to read, mostly at night. And at night in bed when I turn all the lights off I have areas of where I can on see black odd shapes. It can block out my doorway to the hall. Or areas on the wall, ceiling, windows, etc. And my doctor knows what causes all my symptoms. It is stress. And how do I avoid stress? I cannot avoid it or fix it. It is in my life at all times. I am unable to avoid or change it. So instead of work, I rested. It is not job causing it. Love my jobs.

Did make it out to eat. And I was quite surprised that one of the waitstaff surprised me with a nice hug & some nice words. Maybe he sensed I was feeling bad about life. He had no idea I needed his nice gestures. It is rare if anyone asks how I am. Or checks on me. Even if I have been sick I still get ignored.

I knew that a large box of cat food, etc waiting for me at home. Plus a second smaller box. But I have no support group that helps me when I might desperately need help. And no one ever botherers to offer any help. I managed but it made my pain much worse. I sat & cried for a while. Such is my life. I know who would help if they were not at work & I know who would never help me for any reason. I beg no one.

Today was lunch with my usual thursday group. We met at the Crown & Rye. I had Swedish meat balls on mashed potatoes. Excellent.

After lunch I had groceries to pick up. Two bags that were not too heavy. Cinder & I are set for a week or so. Nice to get what I really want. Helps to use their app & check on what I want compared to what they offer.

Hot today. Saw 95F. By sunday or monday out weather will feel like 105F. I hate summer.

Tomorrow is a work day. No lunch planned. Maybe will next week.

TV showed the awful rains & flooding in Texas. I have a friend who lives near that area. I hope she stays safe. Scary.
