Today's Name Day: Göran , Georg

I know of several Görans in Sweden. Have known a George or two here & one large family with the last name of George. Knew all the kids.

Today was an awesome day. Slept extra good. Without meds!! Cinder slept with me a couple of times.

This morning Miss Kitty & all 6 kittens were there for drinks & food. Loving them. If they are eating I can touch a kitten or two. All back for supper.

Stayed too warm overnight. I got up & the house was 77 inside. Usch. Already cooler out It iw 65F now. Nice.

I had lunch with my thursday friends. We met at the Öl Stuga. After I parked a large group of ladies came out of the bar to get on the local bus. All were nice. Most had to hold on to my car to get down off the curb. I went in & I actualy got a booth to sit in. A miracle!!! Nice for a change. Good food & good conversation.

Before my friends arrived a former class mate came in. Reunion meeting today. I had decided not to attend my reunion. He asked me why. I just said I have never felt part of my class after graduation. Many of them are friends with each other but never me. I hear from no one ever. Then he just had to tell me that one of our class that no one has seen in 60 years will be there. Dang. Now I have to go. I dated him once. So I am going. I cannot do a walk through of the school. Cannot walk. He made me feel really welcome. A rare thing for former classmates. Very rare.

I never feel part of my town even. Only at work. Or Jalisco's. No where else. Wish I did. Not included in anything. No invitations.

Severe weather warnings that all stayed east of me. Good. They can have it. But poor western Kansas & the middle where I live we get no rain. Drought is spreading really fast. No bueno. Need rain for our wheat.

MM was quiet until I texted him. One friend who keeps saying he misses me was with a mutual friend. Wrote to our mutual friend to have him say hello since I never get to see him. Really upsets me. Words are cheap. Damn cheap.

Took many flower photos today. Still too windy for the poppies. Still pretty. Flowers in the park too. More coming later. Photos are flowers or local things.

Did not carry any trash. Too sore, & weak. Hopefully by next trash day. Be nice is I had someone to help. HA. Like that will happen. I am only good for giving not recieving. Lots of giving. Fuck my life. No one cares. I refuse to beg.

I got a postcard of this house from Amazon. Wondered if it was still here, And it is. Not much has changed Very cool.

Cool local house with a painting on the outside of it. Love it,

Back of our local library,

Mural in the Swensson Park. I edited it a lot. Got rid of a couple of poles.

Statue in Swensson Park. New.

Old old water fountain in Swensson.

4/2026 - Onsdag den 22:e - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Glenn , Allan

Had a great friend for years name Glenn. Grown apart now. Miss him. Had an uncle Glen. Miss him & his wife & their son more than words can say. A cousin's first husband was an Allan. JR middle name is Allen. Known several local men with Allan as a first name. And one friend had Allen as his last name.

Today was almost a good day. Slept ok & got ready to go to work. But dropped my glasses & stepped on them & one lense fell out. JR thinks he can fix them. Bring them with me to town on friday

I decided since I would not be here to put food & water out for Miss Kitty. Went to open the front door & there stood a kitten looking at me!!! Cute. That one ran under the house but there was another one hiding on the porch! The Mom was there also. Glad I checked them first. Inside cats did not eat good so I just left it for today.

Lunch was good & did not upset my stomach. Good.

I have been posting things in Spanish & MM must have read something I wrote. He speaks fluent Spanish. Got an early text saying he loved me. Nice. Well, include me then if you love me.

Really missing my friend JS. And he called me at work when he got off work. He worries about me so he calls to check. Made my one coworker smile. He always ends our calls with "besos" which means "kiss". Nice.

From our video call.

Old photo of us.

Work was so-so. Everyone went upstairs to discuss stuff. Guess I was not supposed to hear or be part of it. Used to being left out.

My scanner does not work at all. Scan one photo, reboot scanner, turn back on, scan another photo, & reboot again. Only matters to me. A nadie más le importa.

At some point I had somehow clicked on something I did not want. I would scan & it would save somewhere wrong. I finally figured it out. Ater I rebooted the PC & the scanner. By then I was just fed up & decided to leave early. Close to screaming & throwing stuff. A nadie más le importa.

Had a guy upstairs painting. Known him for years. Had a nice visit. And he walked me to my car. Never left my side. Nice to feel cared for.

I went to a friend's back yard to see his poppies blooming. Too windy for good photos but I got a few. I had some old photos of flowers also. And took some at the Mill. So lots of flowers today.

Supper was at Jalisco's. Fun to see my friends there. I even treated myself to a tiny serving of ice cream. Even AR came out of the kitchen to briefly chat. Nice of him.

I got into a group of people who like noir movies. JR & I had fun remembering some great movies. I have several on my list to watch again.

When I was a toddler Mom & Dad would to the driven in movies in McPherson. If the movie was Ma & Pa Kettle I could stay awake to watch. One time they had me lay down & the movie was called Laura. I was cluseless about it but the music was haunting. I watched it as an adult but need to see it again. Been a long time.
