Today's Name Day:  Volmar , Valdemar


    Today could have been worse.  I got little sleep last night.  And lunch today sort of upset my stomach.  Nothing too bad. Think I was mostly just tired.  Stayed home.  Took a nap.
    I did clean up my desk.  Too much junk on it.  Put it all in a basket.  Looks better.
    I did go out & search for cat food I ordered.  They did without last night.  They ate what I put out.  There was 2 mail packages on my one trash bin.  Got those inside.
    Long email from JL.  Good to hear from her.  Wrote her back.  Everyone else quiet or posted things not having to do with me.  Always fun to watch others have good times with friends while I am sitting at home alone with nary a text or anything.  I am always left out.
    Blood sugar dropped around supper time.  So I focused on getting it normal & not supper.  So I had no real supper.  Just junk.  Oh well.  As long as I am ok to work tomorrow.  Cannot be sick.  I have MH on standby to make sure I get inside the gallery.
    Watching a show about what happened to Glenn Miller in WWII.  His plane has never been found.  Interesting.  There are several theories.  Cannot prove any of them.
    Kisse just crawled into a sack of trash & is curled up.  Cute.  Sleeping there now.  Trash is just paper stuff.
    Stayed cooler today.  Highs in the 60s.  Love it.  Chilly last night.  Colder tonight.  Then starting monday it warms up.  No bueno.
    Reconnected with an old friend.  One of the original people I started blogging with so many years ago.  Good to hear from her.  She is from Sweden but now lives in Canada.  She has always had a cat but her last one died a while back.  She did not think she would get another one but she just did.  Cool!  Pretty cat.
    Pictures are things I like.  They are not sorted.  Too lazy,.  I am surprised there are still people from Sweden who like my blog.  Good.  But none from Mexico.  Oh well.  Cannot please everyone.
    Last night I joined a Swedish group.  They posted a long piece about a holiday coming up.  I read it all in my mind & knew most of the words.  Understood it all.  Proud of me.  No has ever really helped me learn Swedish.  Classes I took were years ago.  But have never been invited to lunch or coffee to practice Swedish.  Would have been fun.  Too late now.
    My Spanish lessons are so-so.  There were some that were painful.  But the last few lessons easier.  A relief.

Sweet friend.  I am lucky.


The two people who did all the art work are or were friends of mine.

Larry & Coco.

My cousin, close friend.  I live here.  She lives in Denver.  We both are sick now & it is doubtful we will see each other again.  I miss her & Denver so much.  But I am without family to drive me anywhere.

4/2026 - Fredag den 17:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Elis , Elias
I  only know people with the last name of Ellis.

    
    Today was a so so day.  Slept ok but my blood sugar was not good.  Did not dare to drive so did not go to work,  Plus I was in a lot of pain.  I keep reading that one must take care of oneself.  It is hard for me to do.  I have such guilt feelings.  But guilt or not I stayed home, feeling sick,  Feel like my life is collapsing around me.  And helpless.  But no one sees me.
    I got a nice nap.  And lunch did not bother me so supper was on.  I really needed real food not lunch meat.
    Tried 3-4 times to get a parking spot at Jalisco's & there was none.  Got one the the two last ones at the Crown.,  Supper was Swedish Meat Balls with mashsed potatoes.  Excellent!!  As good as in Sweden??  Not quite, but good. Nothing is ever as good as Sweden.
    Called KN before going to town.  Gave him some ideas about the trash bins.  And I told him that I am not home so no hurry.  But it was all finished when I got home.  I will start taking trash out tomorrow.  What a relief.
     After supper Cinder & I needed groceries.  We are good now for a while.  Still no cat family.
    Turned colder today.  About froze before I got home.  The house felt so nice & warm.  The AC was on but never came on.  Have the heat on now.  Good sleeping weather.  At last.  Wish it would last.  HA.  Not in Kansas.  It does not know how to be nice.
    It amazes me I have two friends that I dearly love who keep saying how important I am to them & how much they miss me.  And yet they never have time for me or try to make time to see me.  Hurts.  I keep hoping.  One is a waiter at a very high class place nearby.  I have not gone there alone & he keeps asking me to come. When my stomach is more stable I will tell him to find me a hidden table away from everyone & I will come & order me a steak.  I won't know anyone eating there.  I can ignore them.  That might work,
    Pictures are things I like.  Saw the llamas when I got home.  Took lots of photos.  They are cool.  Need to find what I can feed them.
    A cousin posted many old old town photos.  Will arrange them as I want & maybe share them.
