Today's Name Day:   Freda, Fritiof

There was a Freda a bit older than me in school.  And a Fredolf from Falun.

    An ok day.  Not quite enough sleep.  Took my pill too late.  Hard to sleep again.

    Today was a work at the Old Mill.  Finished the photos I was on.  In the Smolan box was a hand written "book" of short stories & cookie recipes by kids.  Cute.  Started making copies of it. I hope that a few in the future will enjoy it!!  The first couple of names I did not know.  Then the names were familiar to me.  Fun!!

    Lots of talk about pancakes today.  I would have killed for a couple of pancakes, but not in Lindsborg.  Have none anywhere.  Used to be able to get Swedish pancakes but no more.  That is so sad.  What a poor Swedish town we are.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  I told MA I almost called him to make me pancakes.  He said he would have made some for me.  Nice to hear but I doubt.

    I will no longer say who ignores me.  Just assume they all do.  Email from JL.  Grateful for her.  Always hear fron N&C first thing of the day &. last thing of the day.  Did get photos from LP in Brazil at the Carnival,  Lucky him.

    Weather was ok.  Not strong winds here.  Good.  Wonder what the forecast is.  Same or changed.

    The weather is playing havoc with my body.  There is no place I do not hurt.  And movement is awful.  Hands & feet & all in between.  FML.  Chronic pain is not fun.  I try not to say anything to anyone.  And when I do I just get ignored.  Happened tonight.  Treated like all is well.  Again.  FML.

    I have learned that dozens of birthdays for people I do not know or will never know are getting old.  Started ignoring or only a very simple greeting.  Unless the family is super important to me I just ignore.  Too much.  And the same for all the huge family/friend get togethers.  Those hurt.  I have no one like that to be part of.  Walk on by.  Just ignore.

    Cold is coming just do not know when.  And maybe a bit of rain.  For me a very small bit.

    No cattle today or llamas.  Dang.  Maybe tomorrow.

    Photos are gnomes or gnome like drawings.

Love this one

Cute!!

You always leave food out for the gnomes.

Used a new app to create this graphic.  It has cool texting fonts.

Today's Name Day:  Alexandra,  Sandra

Had a friend Sandra I went to school with & we were car hops together at A&W in Lindsborg.

    Another quiet, alone day.  Getting used to it.  At least the weather felt cooler.  It wasn't cooler but no sun helped.  Plus I felt chilly overnight.  Felt good to bundle up under covers.

    Had a long email from JL.  That was about it.  I give up.  Do I have to beg for any slight attention??  I tried. yesterday but only got my comments being liked not truly answered.

    Last night JS & I had a video chat for almost an hour.  He had not taken his pill that helps him sleep yet.  He always has 2 cats on his bed near him.  Cinder laid on me & we had to rub noses.  More than once.  He loved watching her!!  What a sweet baby.  We had a nice visit.  Need his friendship.  Wish he was here.

    We had super high winds in Kansas today.  I think ours was around 40mph.  But in the SW part of the state winds were much higher.  Around 50 - 60mph.  And then fires started.  They had to evacuate people as the fires were moving fast towards their homes..

    Cinder followed me to the kitchen for her lunch treat when I fixed my lunch.  Then she disappeared.  She found a comfy place to nap somewhere.  BUT.  She never showed up again.  She usually follows Kisse & I to the bedroom to nap.  No Cinder.  Could not see her anywhere.  I got worried.  I finally started calling her.  All over the house.  No Cinder.  She finally showed up.  What a relief.  Not sure where she napped.  Sometimes she sleeps on the floor near the TV.  Or she hides in the kitchen.  Now she is back.  And we cuddled for a while.  I even put out extra food that has been ignored.

    I have decided not to work for MH this friday.  I just do not feel good enough to work an extra day.  Tired & sore.

    Saw I just got some mail.  A box no doubt.  Hate to go out to sort through the mail in the dark,  But I am so glad I went out to check.  I had preordered a book from a cool guy I follow on Threads.  And it came today!!  I am excited to get it.  Now for time to read it!!!  And improve me.

    Heavy, heavy snow in Italy Olympics.  Cancelled events yesterday.  Fun to see snow even if not here.

    Just got a text from MM.  Pleasantly surprised.

    Photos are a mix.  I had too many last night so I only used half & saved some for tonight.  Love the art drawing pictures.  I am addicted to them.  One site has tons that can be shared.

 

Always be kind!

True words!!!

The kids & me.  The barn is my neighbour's.  I edited it.
