5/2026 - Thursday the 21th - MY JOURNEY

 

Retired on the same day as Colbert, but a different year.

Today's Name Day:  Konstantin , Conny

    Today was a great day.  Slept good with my kids nearby & Daisy waiting for breakfast.  And a cuddle.

    I had an appointment to get my oil changed in my car in Assaria KS.  When I got inside a gentleman invited me to sit with him.  He is my mechanic's father.  What a cool guy!!  We had a great conversation about a variety of things.  And I now have a new requirement for my car getting worked on ---- his father must be part of the job!!!  He made my day.  MM lived in Assaria as a kid.  They remember each other.

    We had rain overnight.  And very cool temps.  Loved it.  Maybe rain the next 2 days & rain now added to saturday.  May be too wet to decorate graves on sunday.  Wait until next week.

    Came home for a short nap.  When I woke up Cinder came to lay on me while I am trying to blog.  And rubbing noses.

    Big mix of photos today.

    Sad sad day today.  Colbert ends his show.  What, oh what, will I do without him?  CBS is an idiot & ruled by outside idiots.  I rarely watch any network shows.  I watch 2 week night shows & 2 soaps.  Unfortunately they all are on CBS.  I will never praise them again.

    I totally screwed up my blog yesterday.  Took me forever to figure out how to fix it.  So frustrating.

    Communication is extra quiet today.  I miss family & friends.  And it hurts to be ignored.  Got an email from JL & she may quit being online.  It is ok.  I am used to losing people I enjoy.

Last night they asked Stephen Colbert the questions of his questionaire.  A different star asked eached question.  This is a photo of them all.

Love this.  True!!

Today's Name Day:  Carola , Karolina

There is an awesome singer in Sweden named Carola.  I love her singing.  Had a relative named Carolina.

    Today was a good day.  I slept very good.  I made changes in my bedroom & my cats did not like it.  New sheet & new blankets.  And I dared to pile things on their sleeping areas!!!  But they are over it today.  Picky cats.  I had time to cuddle my outside baby.  Decided to name her Daisy.

    Work was fun.  There is a page that comes up with the scanner.  It kept loading with photos I scanned.  Did not want that.  I had tried to delete the scans but they always came back. LL selected all of the pictures & "cut" them all instead of deleting.  That made a difference.  Then she scanned a photo that showed up on the scanner page.  She "cut" it & copied it.  And added to the page I needed it on.  And it worked fine.  Fast work.  Have to learn to slow down.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  JS had told me to try adding an egg to rice there.  So I had carnitas, rice, & an egg,  Best meal ever!  In fact just the rice & egg is great.  Can try that.  No more. cola  Switched to ice water with 3 slices of lemon.  Perfect.

    When I drove home the clouds in the west looked like rain clouds.  

stormy ones.  But JR said no rain until 3am.  He was wrong.  Started raining here about an hour ago.  No wind or warnings, just rain.  Hope it dumps here.

    I noticed on the way home the wheat is really turning.  Not good.  Too early.

    Tomorrow had lunch planned with my usual thursday group.  And I had an appointment to get my car worked on afterwards.  Had to cancel lunch as my car appointment got changed.  Be an easier day.

    Saw a friend at Dollar General.  I never get to see him.  He works every saturday in a very fancy place in Assaria.  So I asked if he could find me table off by itself.  I do not know anyone who eats there.  Or if I do they are with a group.  He said he would find me a table & take care of me.  Works for me.  Starve all day & have steak!!!

    Hurting a bit tonight due to the changing weather.  But nothing as bad as all last weekend.  Yet.

    Have not decorated graves.  Poor planning on my part.  Will try for sunday.

    Been dealing with a crisis on Lindsborg Now.  Cannot have that.  Someone is upset & scared.  Banned some one & told the friend of the other one if continues to call the police. Done blogging.  Tired.  Flower photos are from the Methodist Church today.

    If I reblogged anything I am sorry.  Tired & hard to think.
