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.

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.

Cross on my house.















Took these photos


How I wish!!!!

7/2026 - Tuesday the 14h- MY JOURNEY







Today's Name Day:  Folke

Kronprinsessan Victorias födelsedag

(Crown Princess Victoria's birthday of Sweden)

    Today started very stressful.. Terrified of eye doctor appointment & what he could find wrong with me.  I had learned a few diseases that it could be bothering my eyes.  I get blind in the dark in bed.
    Well, it was not what Dr thought it might be.  But he double checked & scanned my eyeballs.  All is well. But he does know what is causing my blindness.  Stress.  I guess good to know but what to do.  Not my 2 jobs.  I knew they are not stressful.  I am happy at both of them.  I cannot fix the stress.  FML.
    I stopped at Arby's to get supper.  Very good.
    I was so upset today I forgot a meeting tonight.  Called LL to give her my message of not being there.
    Saw 91F today.  TV weather says we could be 100F on sunday.  I hate summer.  At least there is no humidity.  Helps.  Tried to sit out last night.  Too many bugs.  No breeze tonight,  I want to be with Daisy.  Got a few photos last night.  She sure loves me,  Wish I could bring her in.  But do not trust my older cats.
    Now to relax.  And watch my soaps.  Saw a little of FIFA.  Enough to know who won.
    Called KN.  Nice visit.  Saw him drive through my yard.  Too tired to get up & go outside.

Best friend John Bergers.  Sure miss him.  His birthday is on Bastille Day.  He was even in Paris one year for his birthday.  And he was positive the fireworks & music were just for him!!!  I bet he is there this year also!

Some birthday photos of Atlas & his dad.
