5/2026 - Monday the 18th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Amir , Erik
I had a cousin in Sweden named Erik.  I got to meet him.  Spent lots of time with him.  And family,  Awesome guy.  Had a couple of men in town named Erik.  Had a couple in school with me.


    Today was not a good day.  Little sleep last night thanks to storms & rain.  Still in pain.  Had an appointment but cancelled it until thursday.
    Today was a bad weather day.  We were in a severe storm warnings & tornados.  I was almost in a panic.  I slowly walked to my shelter to make sure there was nothing in there that should not be.  I barely made it there.  Even with my cane it was scary.  In an emergency I would never make it.  I would end up laying in the weeds.  Decided the cats would have to stay in the house.  But maybe I could grab my kitten.  I cried & was in terror.  No one cares.
    Our weather turned out better than I could have dreamt.  No high winds.  No hail.  No tornadoes.  Had some wind & rain.  Lucky.  I should sleep good tonight.
    My kitten lets me pick her up all I want & she purrs & does not struggle to get away from. me.  I saw a different cat on the porch eating.  Probably the dark grey one I have seen before.  He ran to fast so I never saw him good.
    Pretty much ignored by most.  Extra short short text from MM after I wrote to him,  Always hear from JL.  Love her lettlers.  KN was here to check my tornado shelter.  Need my yard mowed but he is too busy.  I could walk better with no tall weeds.
    Stupid mail person put a pile of mail on my trash bin.  None of it was heavy.  It all blew to the ground  I had to walk around my trash bins to get it all.  There was other safer places but he probably drove up & never got out of his car.  Tossed it all on my trash out his window.
    Many of the photos tonight are old & taken by me.  Probably boring.










Awesome car seen in Lindsborg one day.  From Salina & worth a large fortune.

5/2026 - Sunday 17th - MY

 




Today's Name Day:  Rebecka , Ruben
I have a great friend from Sweden.  She & I & two other Swedish ladies started blogging together on Yahoo many years ago.  I amthe only one who still blogs,  Still friends with all of them. Rebecka moved to Canada & got married & is still there.

Known several Beckys.  One is a niece of Willie's.  Local famous singer is a Becky.  She is awesome.


    Today could have been better.  I got little sleep.  In the middle of a major RA flare for several days.  And nauseated today.  Been hard to walk.
    Baby Kitten was glad to see me.  I fed & watered her.  Tonight I picked her up & held her for quite a long time.  And she never struggled to jump away.  Nice for a change.
    I took a nice afternoon nap.  Kisse was in front of the TV & Cinder was on her box under the lamp.  Three who love each other.  We are few & far between.  I am so grateful for them.
    I was mostly ignored today.  I have made a collection of grapics to explain how my day is.  Most people do not care.  And a few who should check on me or ask how I am, do not.  One graphic & no explanations.  Who cares & what do I know.
    I voiced my opinion on something I had a text about but I was pretty much told I know nothing.  Will keep my opinions to myself.  What do I know???  Not much.
     Supposed to have my car worked on tomorrow but might cancel for a week.  See how I feel.
    Tired of sticking my fingers for my blood sugars.  Fingers getting sore.  😞
    Super windy today.  Gusts were from 40mph to 50mph.  Saw a high of 95F.  Hate summer.
    Photos are a mix. Some I have taken.
























Wheat.

Wild flower.

Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. One of my favorite birds but super hard to get a photo of them.  Too skittish,

This is one of the best race car drivers ever,  Jack Petty.  I knew him.  I worked with his father at the White Cross Nursing Home.  He was in a near fatal wreck at the race track at the State Fair track.  He did survive & kept driving,  Severely scared.  Found a photo of the wreck.  Several drivers were burned,  1974.
