5/2026 - Thursday the 22th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Henning , Hemming



    Today could have been better.  I got no sleep.  I laid comfy all night but never drifted off.  My mind worked overtime on nothing special.  Gave me anxiety.  No sleep no work.  I wanted to work.
    Made it through the last Colbert show.  It was so well done.  His last guest turned out to be Paul McCartney.  Perfect.  Last song was You Say Hello I Say Goodbye.  Perfect.  McCartney, the band,  Jon Batiste, Evie & more.  Perfect.  Comments had some great ideas for what he should do next.  I am anxiously awaiting his decision.  Our fearless leader (ha) & the owners of CBS should be ashamed.  Will hurt them in the end.  Really bad I hope.  I have now cancelled CBS news.  Any other channel will be better.  Hope they go broke.
    Weather has stayed cool.  Even turned on my room heater today rather than use more propane.  I stayed comfy overnight.
    Cinder & Kisse both laid in my bedroom door.  Odd!!  Cinder has a bag of give away clothes she lays on.  Kisse just on the floor.  Protecting me???  By morning both had left.
    Slept this afternoon.  Tonight I do not care.  No work this weekend.
    LL went to see her mom who is in the hospital. Not heard from her on how her family is doing.  Good,  I hope.  I won't be texting her.  I did early this morning.  She knows I am thinking of her.
    After I woke up Cinder had to come to lay on me.  I love her attention.  Kisse is missing at present.
    Daisy is so cute.  Likes to be cuddled while eating.  Then she naps all afternoon.  Wish she could come in the house.  Would not work.
    Photos are a mix with lots of Colbert photos.  They are not edited properly.  I will survive.

5/2026 - Thursday the 21th - MY JOURNEY

 





Retired on the same day as Colbert, but a different year.

Today's Name Day:  Konstantin , Conny




    Today was a great day.  Slept good with my kids nearby & Daisy waiting for breakfast.  And a cuddle.
    I had an appointment to get my oil changed in my car in Assaria KS.  When I got inside a gentleman invited me to sit with him.  He is my mechanic's father.  What a cool guy!!  We had a great conversation about a variety of things.  And I now have a new requirement for my car getting worked on ---- his father must be part of the job!!!  He made my day.  MM lived in Assaria as a kid.  They remember each other.
    We had rain overnight.  And very cool temps.  Loved it.  Maybe rain the next 2 days & rain now added to saturday.  May be too wet to decorate graves on sunday.  Wait until next week.
    Came home for a short nap.  When I woke up Cinder came to lay on me while I am trying to blog.  And rubbing noses.
    Big mix of photos today.
    Sad sad day today.  Colbert ends his show.  What, oh what, will I do without him?  CBS is an idiot & ruled by outside idiots.  I rarely watch any network shows.  I watch 2 week night shows & 2 soaps.  Unfortunately they all are on CBS.  I will never praise them again.
    I totally screwed up my blog yesterday.  Took me forever to figure out how to fix it.  So frustrating.
    Communication is extra quiet today.  I miss family & friends.  And it hurts to be ignored.  Got an email from JL & she may quit being online.  It is ok.  I am used to losing people I enjoy.

Last night they asked Stephen Colbert the questions of his questionaire.  A different star asked eached question.  This is a photo of them all.

Love this.  True!!
