11/2026 - Friday the 6th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Gustav, Adolph

    Today was same ole, same ole.  Home alone with no communication except for JL & KN.  KN was here early morning & delivered my mail from my mailbox,  My mail person would leave the mail door open if there was inches of rain forecast.  Mail box would fill with water.  Don't get me started.  And they gave me mail for 2 people I have never heard of.  I left them in the mail box with the flag up.  They ignored it.  Now what I do??  You cannot heal or fix stupidity.  If it looks unimportant I may forget them.  Or I will put notes on them saying they were delivered wrong & not mine.  Suppose they can read???

    I waited all day for a call about my car.  No call.  Maybe tomorrow.  KN is busy tomorrow but says either his wife or daughter can probably take me to get my car if they call.

    Lunch was eaten late so I am waiting to eat.  I had a half of a candy bar due to low sugar.  Will eat supper soon.

    I sent a long text to someone a couple of days ago.  Finally saw it was read today.  No comment though.  Makes me feel so unimportant.  Guess I should be used to that.  Everyone is ignoring me.

    When KN was here early today he took a large load of trash to the burn pile.  Looks a bit better.  He will finish another day.

    I was watching one fave show that got preempted for a movie.  Now I am watching Everyone Loves Raymond.  They are snacking on Thanksgiving leftovers.  What I would not give for a real Thanksgiving meal.  Used to have a great meal in town but no one wants to do it anymore.  No thanksgiving for JR & I.  Will be tv dinners & pumpkin pie with whipped cream in his office.  It is what it is.  Better than sitting at home alone.  Holidays make me so depressed.  Little to no family & no friends.  I try hard to ignore all the photos from others of big get togethers.  And I do not comment on any of them.  No one knows how painful being alone is.  A quien le importa.

    Supposesd to get cold tonight.  So far my blankets are enough.  When I took my afternoon nap no cats were around,  Only Daisy who had been snuggling with me.  Went to our bedroom & Daisy took over her chair next to me.  Cinder was already in the new bed. Then here came Kisse for the old bed.  We napped together.  We were all in a circle,  I got photos.

My dad's 110th heavenly birthday today .  Dad working at a local filling station. Dad is in the middle of the back row in light colored clothes.  His brother is in the front row, 2nd guy I think,  The two owners are Anderson's.

Dad in WWII.  He was a tail gunner in Guam, India, etc.  He flew the Hump daily.  He is the 3rd guy on the front row,  They had a pet sloth bear that us between guy #2 & Dad.  They brought her to the US when they came home.

Dad with Mom during WWII.  Dad & his Mom. And Dad near where he was stationed,

Huge leaf next to my foot.

Wish our trees looked like this.

Means, sort of, "Today popcorn is free".  Cute.

11/2026 - Thursday the 5th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Eugenia, Eugen

I have known several Eugenes.  Went to school with two.  Good friends with one.  And he dated one of my best friends.  One is in my family now.  Nice man.

    Today was the same as ever.  Same ole, same ole.  Just home alone with no communication with anyone but JL.  Had a couple of emails with photos. This morning.  Great photos.  Fun.  MM only posted photos not just to me.  Oh well.

    Weather was chilly. Low was 37F & our high was 60F.  I have a package to get off my porch.  Be a quick trip.  This weekend is a bit warmer.  No rain for at least 10 days.

    Daisy had to sit on my lap for a long while today.  We both needed some love.  No major attention from Cinder today.  Just a little.

    I sent LL a long text on my car this afternoon..  She has not read it yet.  Now I am worried.  Her mom is in the nursing home in the LBK & her husband has had two recent surgeries.  And is sick.  Now I am worried about them & LL.  I won't text again.  Do not want to be a pest.  I am not important nor is my life.

    No call on my phone today.  Tomorrow???  Need to shampoo my hair.  When do I dare??  Maybe wait & see if I get a call on my car.  I can shampoo on saturday then.

    I got new cat food.  One I know  all 3 like.  They were eating some old food,  Probably not the best but no one complained.  All 3 cats hung around their food dishes for a couple of hours last night..  Had to refill once before going to bed.  Nice to know I have done something good.  Daisy knows when feeding time is.  She leads me to the food  bag. then leads back to eat or drink.  She really wants to follow me in the bathroom but I do not want her to knock my make up on the floor.  She has learned to sit by the door & wait for me.

    I have many things to do but I am too sore, tired, & depressed.  KN told me sometime he can help get rid of boxes in my house.  Time will tell.

    I treated myself to some of the cake I bought.  Very good.  No yogurt unless I have a little low sugar at bedtime.  At least I have my cookies I ordered.

My spanish app has let me know I have learned 2800 new words & I have spoken in the app around 12,600 words.  Amazing!!

                                          

          

    

11/2026 - Wednesday the 4nd - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day:  Sverker

    Today was ok.  Pretty good after an exciting night!!!  Had trouble getting to sleep but when I did it was ok.  Pain not too bad.  Black splotches were not bad, sort of like usual.  Short moments of light rain early night.  Our low was 39F.   Our high was 63F.  I was outside before supper to open some mail.  No breeze but it was quite chilly.  But it was sunny part of the day.  Felt odd.  Been cloudy for days.  Prefer clouds.

    Chatted with my California friend.  Had a couple of emails.  I will text MM and see if he answers or not.  He has been working but probably not feeling good.  Nothing from anyone else.  One text from JR just now.

    I counted wrong when my car might be done.  They told me 5 days.  Left my car on monday.  Five days from then is friday.  Beginning of the day or end of the day?  Who knows.

    Both Daisy & Cinder snuggled with me last night in bed.  And then Kisse.  I took a nap this afternoon.  Woke up with Cinder snuggled behind my knees.  I could have turned over if I had known.

    TV is ok tonite.  New Josh Gates.  He is looking at stuff found in England.  And the life of a Celtic queen or ruler in England.  Not from the royal family.  Huge statue of her but no one knows her story.  Very interesting.  They are digging around an old old temple.  I like watching things where I might learn new things.

    I have gotten hooked on watching a guy on WhatsApp who films abandoned buildings.  Interesting.  Oh, to have money to fix some of those builings up.

    Spanish is going well.  I did get dropped a level but they usually let you buy yourself back where you were.  I do not care like I used to.  I am too tired.

    Local weather guy says there is rain coming but not on any weather app of mine.  Who knows?  Probably just for Wichita.

    Wrote to my thursday eating out friends.  Told them I have no car this week.  They both ignored me & just made plans with each other.  Nice.

                                    This would be fun.

Wanting snow.  There is some in SW Kansas now,  Won't last long or do much,

Awesome barn

Nico.  I miss him too much.  I swear I felt him on me last night
