4/2026 - Tuesday 5th - MY JOURNEY




Today's Name Day:  Erhard , Gotthard
Think I had an ancestor with a middle name of Erhard.  No Gotthard.  Had a cousin in Sweden who was Gotfrid.  Different name.



    Today was ok.  Same ole stuff.  Home alone, no texts or calls & lots of pain & tiredness.  Never seems to get any better or more fun.
    Had some rain overnight.  Got around a third of an inch here.  Way too little.
    I had trouble getting to sleep but slept good when my mediction finally kicked in.
    Miss Kitty & all 7 kittens were here last night before I went to bed.  None of them here today.  I have called & been ignored.  The opening going under my house is a bit muddy.  Dang.
    I stayed home today.  No energy to go out, not even for Cinco de Mayo.  Sure I am not missed anywhere.
    Still not one text from our thursday group.  Either they area talking to each other but not me.  I tried to text but got ignored so I deleted them.  Will just forget.  Sad.  It was something I really enjoyed.
    I enjoyed lots of Mill Fest photos.  How I wish I could have been there.  I could get a golf cart type vehicle but where would I keep it in town.  It would be mine.  Not sharing with anyone unless they can help pay for it & help support it.  Like that is going to happen.  Everything is always just me paying for everything.  No one pays me to help me out.  Grandson no doubt would if I asked.  That would be it.  Guess I will do without one.  Would be fun though.
    I have many photos to use tonight but my laptop has not synced at all.  My wi fi router is dying.  Overheats.  New one comes this evening after 630pm.  Should be soon.  Hope it helps.  I did manage to get my Cinco de Mayo photos to open here.  I had some I was saving here & they are mostly winter pictures.  But it is cold here so they fit.
    Maybe rain tonight.  Maybe.  We need inches.  KN said our wheat is really needy.  Scary times.  I remember well.

5/2026 - Monday the 4th - MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Mona , Monika
I have a great friend in Sweden named Mona.  Her special day.  We used to blog together on Yahoo years ago.  A nice group of us.  Then Yahoo stopped that program.  Miss it.  Mona used to post a different artist every week & we all would attempt to copy their art.  Miss that.  Maybe try one I enjoyed on my own.  Just for fun.


    Today has been pretty good.  Glad my kittens & Miss Kitty are home.  I saw them around 1am before going to bed.  They were beyond excited to see me!!  Gathered around my feet!!! They were starving.  Fed them again around 4am.
    This morning around 830am I looked out my bedroom window.  All 7 kittens were racing around my yard & climbing a tree.  What fun.  My screen is awful so no photos.  Have asked twice to have it replaced but I have given up.  Not going to happen. They got enough food today so have rested.  Asked 2 family members but no one has time for me.
    JS video chatted with me.  I know he worries about me & loves me.  Nice to see & hear him.  Makes my day. 
    Far too hot today.  I saw 85F here.  Felt ok outside.  I was out twice to get mail.  The second time KN was here so we had a nice chat.  He got all his corn planted.  Now we need lots of rain.  🌧  Let's hope.
    Temps dropping tonight then gets cold.  Chance of snow in the far NW corner of Kansas.  Chance of rain overnight here & all day tomorrow.  What a great fantasy.  Assaria will get it all.  As usual.
    One text from JR.  Nice email from JL.  Nothing from MM  Just photos of a concert he was at  & now at the airport.  No idea why.  I know nothing.  As usual.  Out of town football game.  I cannot even manage to get to Great Bend let alone a flight somewhere.
    Still nothing from my thursday group.  I deleted my texts since no one could or would answer them.  I am assuming we won't eat again.  I can go where I want alone.  And by thursday I might need groceries.  Will order to pick. up.  No more writing checks for groceries.
    Had poor sleep last night so took a nap this afternoon.  Slept ok.  Need to just learn to take at least a half or an entire anxiety pill at night.  I am just in so much pain & extra tiredness.  Joys of RA & weather.  Wish I had a support group.  Another fantasy.  Few family. & fewer friends.  None have time for me.
    There is a RA site I follow.  Every night they have a Roll Call ----- where we are & how we feel.  As close to a support group as I can get.  Nice to know I am not suffering alone.  Sometimes they ask in the morning also.  Members from all over the world.
    Saw no cattle or llamas.  Maybe poor timing on my part..
    I double checked to make sure that all my favorite shows on CBS are set to tape.  But today I missed one soap.  Watched it on my ipad.  Says it will tape tomorrow.  I will double check before that time.
    I see that Swedish people are reading my blog again.  Nice.  But Mexico has dropped out.
    I watched part of SNL UK last night.  The opening was all about the royal family.  They cannot be happy!  Funny.

Love this car.  I can dream.





Beautiful
