Love this graphic. Pretty.

Today's Name Day: Erland

Not a bad day. My usual night. Kisse curled up next to me most of the night. Odd for her.

We had rain that started around 4am. And continued until around 11am. Then it started to drizzle around 2pm. I had a total of 0.83" of rain. Amazing. Snow starts tomorrow late afternoon.

Had lunch with my weekly group. And we all were there!!! Ate at the Öl Stuga. And my friend CW was working. We had a nice visit before I went home & I got a nice hug.. Gotta eat there more often. I miss him!!

I got home to take a nap. I was sound asleep when I suddenly woke up. No idea why! Maybe one of the cats walking over me. But I went back to sleep.

Supper was ok. But after I was done eating my blood sugar went low. Huh??? How?? So had have nibbled on junk food. I checked with a finger stick. Her than my sensor reported.

I had new photos to share. And they have not showed up yet. Very frustrating. So if you have seen some of these before just ignore. Grrrr.

Heard from LL. She has a family health event to deal with. I told her to ignore me & I will stay home tomorrow. No need for her to find me new work. Her mind needs to be on family. And we have snow forecast for late tomorrow afternoon. If I stay home I can just stay home if roads look bad.. No driving involved. And cold temps are coming also.

It is already 39F here. House feels nice. I have a wearable blanket I wear to be comfy. And I am comfy!!

Comfy.

Gracie in a rare calm moment!

Winter AI me. How I wish!!!

01/2026 - Onsdag the 07th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: August, Augusta

Very familiar names to me. Had relatives named August, male name. Had an aunt Augusta. And today a good friend named Agustin, a Mexican name. Worked at Jalisco's but now lives back east working for his brother.

Had a great day!!! Slept well with only 2 low sugars. Ate & right back to sleep.

Too warm today. Saw 65F for a high. Stayed there all afternoon.

Worked at the Old Mill. My coworkers celebrated my birthday with drinks from the White Peacock. There were pastries treats we had also. Nice to be remembered. Then on friday LL & I will lunch and she is paying. This is my week!!!

I had a box of school photos from Falun & Smolan KS. I worked most of the afternoon to get it all sorted. I put all the photos with names together & those with no names together. There was a large group of photos that looked like it would have been a great year book. I knew all those kids & took photos for myself to keep. There was a handwritten recipe book of cookie recipes. Cute. And there was a questionaire about Smolan. I did not know the answers.

There was a huge scrapbook from a local teacher. Oh, for the articles, invitations, memories, & photos. I knew this teacher. Willie had her & so did our kids. Plus I took care of her husband in the hospital. She had an article about Falun & Smolan no longer using crank phones. I got married in 1966 & we used crank phones for 10 years. Think we were the last in Kansas using them. So in 1976 we got modern. I posted the article plus the teachers name. And the comments I got!!! I am still smiling! So much fun!!!

Supper was Jalisco's. And my Mexican amigoes. I had carnitas. Ate with out stomache problems. Then ice cream from Dollar General. Perfect.

We have rain forecast for tonight starting around 4am. Even slight chances of thunder & lightning. Maybe some wind. Good!!! Then thursday night snow moves in. Yay!!! Finally winter time. My camera is ready for photos!!!

Cats are napping again. Cinder was here for some loving attention. Kisse whizzed through here also. Quiet now.

Nice to be in a good mood. Rare for me!!! Helps to not focus on who has forgotten me & appreciating those who care. Helps.

Photos are snowy, animals, etc.
