Memories of Nico. He loved laying on our bed in the sun.  Really missing him.  Almost been gone a full year.

Today's Name Day:  Benjamin

    Had an ok day.  Heard from MM.  He is still sick. I am still dosing extra doses of immunity essential oils.  Hoping for the best.  Had several emails from a friend,  I love hearing from her.

    With no tv in the house it is quiet, even though I have CBS on my phone.  Not as loud.  Cats are sleeping more.  Nothing good on today except I did watch my soap operas from friday.  That was nice.  And the national/local news tonight.  Should figure out if I can get another network or not.

    I even got SnapChat on my iPad.  Cool.  And I found some photos I totally forgot I had.  I look pretty hot an all black leather cowboy outfit with hat!!!

Fun!!!  😀

    We had fog last night.  I could see my shed but not KN's farm lights.  So it is really humid & wet out but no rain or anything.  That is only for the states around us.  So frustrating.  It was almost 60F here today.  Far too warm.  Kept my heat off.  Supposedly there is colder weather coming & maybe some snow.  Believe it when it happens.

    Supper was spaghetti again.  It is sooo good.  I am addicted to it.  That company also does a wonderful roast & mashed potatoes I really like also.

    Have some fun photos I have done & others.

Today's Name Day:  Johan, Johannes

    Had a so-so day.  Poor sleep.  Bad headache.  And bad depression.  My left foot & calf hurt.  Weird.  Even sitting is not good.  Nor laying down for a nap.  I cancelled the day & stayed home, resting.  No work again for a week.  Dang.  I miss it.

    Felt too warm in the house last night.  I turned the heat off completely.  Until middle of the night I got a bit chilly.  Then barely turned it on.  I felt better that way.  Fog last night & more on the way here now.  Colorado has snow.  Missouri/Oklahoma have rain.  And here we sit staying dry.  Really frustrating.  Love being at work there.

    My TV remote is totally broken.  Turned the electricity off overnight.  Tried it again today.  Really bad.  Cannot do any thing with it.  New one gets here on sunday.  Hope it works then.

    I can get CBS on my iphone.  Missed my soaps but that is ok.  I got the news tonight Now stupid shows but at least there is noise here now.

    Only emails today.  Not much else from anyone else.  JR had to do with no meal out tonight.  Sorry.  I had a TV dinner of spaghetti.  It was really quite good.  Will buy again.  Still have several to eat first.  Have mac & cheese too.  Did not salt it & needed to.  Try again.

    Just took some pain pills.  Hope they help.  Feeling miserable.

    Photos are nothing to do with Christmas or New Years.  Just things I like.

                            

How I Miss!!!

Decided I would share this about a custom in my country when someone dies.  Most of the money donated to the memory of Dad went for this nativity.  So did someone else's money who had died around the same time.  I love it with snow.  This is several years old.

Today's Name Day: Staffan, Stefan

A special name to me.  Have a cousin in Stockholm Sweden with this name. 

    I slept pretty good last night.  Cinder stayed pretty close.  Kisse was near my bed also.

    Stayed too warm overnight.  And we had fog.  Not as bad as I expected.  In a fog warning again tonight & tomorrow night.  Then near 60 on the weekend,  I hate the thought of that.  Its winter.  Where is the cold & snow???  Not here.

    No nap today.  Called my accountant.  Very late in calling him.  Oh well.  I have no income most years.  I still own a bit of pasture KN pays me rent for.  He will buy it one of these years.

    I spent all afternoon going through photos to delete what I needed to.  Way too many.  And more to go.

    Only one text today & a couple of emails..  I am forgotten again.  No fun to always be alone & left out.  Ready for tomorrow, big time.

    I found photos of when I retired as president of the Swedish group I was in.  I got nice things & nice words but I sat alone.  Always.  Many of the members ate out after our meetings but I ate alone.  Never included.  There were 5 of us cousins in the group but they never claimed me.  They made sure to tell everyone I was from a different generation.  There was a friend that did start going to the group so we sat together & ate out.  My feeling alone started years ago.

    NO Christmas photos today.  Might be one in my group but it was a accident.

                            

    

12/2024 Onssdag the 25th - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

Today's Name Day:  There is no name for today.

There is no name listed on Dec. 25 on the Swedish calendar of names.  .  Christmas is considered a day of celebration for everyone, not just individuals with a specific name; essentially, everyone "celebrates their name day" on Christmas Day in Sweden.   

    Today was ok.  I slept so-so.  We had heavy fog all night & this morning.  Have a fog warning again tonight the though tomorrow morning.  It stayed fairly chilly all night & today.  Same tomorrow.

    I got all the gifts wrapped last night.  Could not find my scotch tape so I used what I had.  Not the best but after they were opened no one knew!!  I bought 3 coloring books, 3 teddy bears, many colored markers, a jigsaw puzzle.  I am clueless  what little kids like.  I do have ideas for the future. MMJ likes to color & it looks really good.  SM loves rockets, etc.  AM makes his own fun with whatever is there & likes cars.

    All of us ------ me, their mom, & the boys were there.  We enjoyed each others company & lunch.  Two of us were missing due to decisions they made for themselves.  Their loss.  Dysfunction continues as usual.

    Lunch was pancakes, syrup, sausage links, bacon & hot chocolate to die for.  Kids ate in the kitchen but KW & I ate in the living room.  And were able to have a nice talk.  Love her.

    The kids are so special.  AM would quietly walk up to me close just to say "I love you".  More than once.   SM would come over for hugs.  MMF wanted me to stay & not go home.  Their dog totally ignored me.

    I took a short nap at home.  Cinder jumped on my chest right away.  I did not sleep long but just laid with Cinder.  Both cats got treats early in the day since it was Christmas.  Found something that Cinder loves.  Maybe feeding early is good.  They have not bugged me since then.

    I have fought tears since home but will survive.  Only matters to me how I feel.  Tired of Xmas.  Not saying it one more time.  Or writing it either.

    Josh Gates on the Discovery Channel has done a show on the real Santa Claus.  I have seen it before but watched it again.  Starts with a Saint hundreds of years ago.  He was very honoured.  After he was buried a piece or two of his body was removed & taken to other places.  Venice was one.  Forget the other one.  And the last I think Chicago.  All those pieces have been tested & they all match.  And they all are Santa Claus.  Very interesting.  They knew who was buried from then to the ones present now, they are the same man.

    Photos tonight are Christmas trees.  Then mostly done with Christmas.

                        

DONE!!!!
