03/2026 - Lördagen den 28: e - MY JOURNEY

 



I love my cats.  I could not survive without them.


Today's Name Day:  Malkolm,  Morgon
I have only known one Malcolm in my life.  He was a local artist.  Worked with metals.  Made Swedish wedding crowns.  He was very instrumental with the Old Mill being saved & made to work again.  All parts in it are original.  Nothing was ever removed or sold.  Malcolm's daughter & I were a grade apart.  She is now a great artist & we are still friends.

    Another less than great day.  I changed my glusose sensor last night.  And it never worked right.  Not for one minute.  Proceeded to beep all night.  Kept me awake.  And it was wrong all night.  I gave it all day to get itself ok but never happened,  Before supper I removed it & after supper I started a new one.  Hope this one is better.  Or I might quit & just order from Amazon.  Probably order when I need.  I hope.
    I felt pretty rough & cancelled all day.  Calling it a Jammie Day.  Both of my knees hurt overnight.  The right one never hurts.  It was replaced.  Both hurt bad all night.  Pain cream kind of worked.
     I got worried about the cats today.  They ate nothing overnight or this morning.  And they were no where to be seen.  I had  too many bad feelings.  Usually when I turn the TV on they come check me out.  I walked back to put bedroom & they both were there.  I know Kisse hides under my bed Or under some shelves.  Cinder has her own hiding spots ---- maybe behind the washer.  Then they followed me to the living room.  But soon they were hidden again.  Odd.  Maybe our awful weather bothers them also.
    I tried to nap but could not relax.  Awful day.  I finally turned on my laptop.  Finished watching soaps & 2 evening shows.  Taping skating all day today.  Can watch tomorrow or monday.
    We had high winds & fire warnings.  It blew a few of my boxes around.  They did not go anywhere.  I restacked them.  I really need to carry trash out.  Have not dared to with the high winds.
    Emailed with JL today.  MM quiet & is off for a concert in Wichita.  Wish I had a life to look forward to.  FOMO
    Today is LL's last day as director of the Old Mill.  New one starts on monday.  A really good one.  I am hopeful.  Hope my scanner gets replaced soon.  Two of us use it all the time.  We should not have to suffer.
    Posted more Yoder KS photos.  Went there twice.  Once with LL & once with JR.  I want to go back,  Love their homemade bread & cinnamon rolls.
    Photos today all have the artists listed on them.  Some are cute.
    Have 16 more minutes until my glucose sensor will work again.  Hope it is ok.  (working ok now)

3/2026 - Fredag den 27:e - MY JOURNEY




I am not in a spring mood but I am always in a poppy mood.  Have to see in they are blooming yet.


Today's Name Day:  Ralf,  Rudolf
Known one local Rudolf.

    Not a good day.  Little sleep due to severe cramps in my feet.  Right one is always worse.  I have a pharmacy full of lotions, creams, liquids for helping to prevent them.  They all failed last night.  Had trouble walking.  Cancelled the entire day.  I just rested.  Mid afternoon it was resolved.  Finally.
    Much cooler today.  It is 59 now.  Probably our high.  I felt cold overnight.  My feet are cold often when I go to bed.  I put on sock & pulled my weighted blanket.  Both helped.
    Strong winds here again with a fire warning,  Same for tomorrow.
    Emailing JL today.  I enjoying being connected to her.  Had one comment from MM.  About him, not me.
    I got sort of upset last night.  MM shared a photo of him & another friend.  I miss them both but they do not have much time, if any, for me.  Made me cry.  Still feeling left out.  Being alone is not easy or healthy.
    Pictures are all from different artists.  Names are posted.  And photos from a trip to Yoder KS.  It is an Amish town with the best restaurant.  I am dying to go there again.  LL is always busy & JR always tired.  Oh well.


















Yoder KS

Yoder KS.  An Amish town.  They do not drive cars, only horse & buggies.  And they make buggies there in town.  One shop in town has all the old old toys but they are newly produced.  And more than toys.

Yoder KS.  My meal there was a hot beef sandwich.

Yoder KS.  My dessert was pie.  Lemon cream pie.  Willie's favorite.  It was yummy.

Yoder KS. 

My grandparents.  Mimi & Boppa.  That is what I called them. She died when I was 3 years old.  Once she was gone the younger grandkids renamed them. Only Mimi & Boppa to me. 😞
