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.

4/2026 - Söndag den 26:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Teresia , Terese
I went to school with a Therese.  Know her & her sister still.  Sort of related to each other distantly.  Once had a friend Theresa.  Tried to be friends with her but guess I was not good enough.  And she is even a neighbour.  Never see her now.  Not in years.  I gave up.  She never even tried.


    Today started out ok.  Slept well but in severe pain.  Fed the kittens & Mom first.  Then a storm hit.  Heavy brief rain & maybe some hail.  Had 0.79" of rain.  They all rain for cover & not seen them since.  They still have food & water.
    After lunch I laid down for a short nap.  Some how in my sleep I twisted my bad knee.  Now I cannot put weight on it & hard to walk,  Cancelled Pizza Hut for tonight.  JR probably cares but doubt anyone else would care even if they would know.  No need to tell anyone.
    Has stayed cloudy & cool today.  Need to carry trash out but not today.  I hurt everywhere.  Hopefully tomorrow.
    Photos are a mix.  Many I have taken.  Nothing special.










My great grandsons this week.  Pretty rare that I get to see them.  More important for MM to see them.

Photo I took near Concordia KS

Bryce Canyon,  I would give almost anything to get to go back,  But I have no more dreams of anything but living alone.  No friends or family to help me.  No one warned me getting older was hell.
