Two very old photos of the Old Mill.  In the second one you can see the dam that was there.  I had a cousin who wanted to replace the dam but there were some land owners who refused to agree with the idea.  Sad.  In very dry years you can see part of it in the water,

Today's Name Day:  Torgney,  Torkel

    Had a so-so day.  Still shaky & weak.  Skipped lunch with friends.  Just did not have it in me.  But Blood sugar is doing good.  Just the rest of me is not.  Photo of my carrying case.  Love it.

    Too warm overnite.  I had the heat off but then I got cold.  Turned it back on a bit.  That helped.

    I totally forgot to post yesterday's blog.  Duh!!!!.  It will catch up soon..

    Quiet day.  Heard from MM, CW, JL, JR.  Nothing major.

    My great neice delivered my donuts I bought to support her softball team.  Super good!!  Eating too many but so far my sugars are ok,

    Super warm today.  I was outside for a while.  Sorted some mail.  Warm most of tomorrow.  Cooler this weekend with some moisture.  Rain??? Snow???  Or nothing???  Then next week might be stormy all week.  Don't believe that even though my weather app agrees.

    Cats are surrounding me tonight.  Kisse next to me on the sofa.  Cinder on her DVR.  All is peaceful.

    Nice to see KN and AN last evening.  I just never have anyone to talk to.  I tried not to keep them too long.

    Finally my thursday night shows on back on,  They are supposed to tape but I do not think they.  Dang.  Just checked.  They taped!!!!  But I saw them both.  Back to Josh Gates & Expedition Unknown.  Good shows.  Interesting & always learn something.

    SNL returns this weekend  About time!

    Flakey weather is making my joints hurt.  Be a long weekend & next week.

    Photos are a lot of snowy ones.  Some are very very old.  Maybe from a New York blizzard around 1800s. Love snow & missing it.

Colbert's drummer.  The best!!!!

Old Mainn the college campus.  What a tragic loss.  Stupid people.

2/2026 - Onsdag den 25:e - MY JOURNEY

 

I miss the Olympics soo much & seeing everyone getting along like our world should be doing.  There are some events coming up if I can see them here.  Hoping.

Today's Name Day:  Sigvard,  Sivert

    Both a good day & a bad day.  Start with the bad.  It happened first.

    I took an entire anxiety pill to sleep since I was supposed  work today.  I slept probably too sound.  Mid to a bit late night I woke up.  I just wanted to go back to sleep.  Thank my angels I did not do that.  I might not have been here then today.  I felt shaky, sweaty, dizzy, weak, just bad.  Totally out of it.  I somehow managed to check my blood sugar laying down in bed.  It was 55!!!!  😨. That is hospital visit low.  I ate something with no result.  I ate more.  Then felt a little better.  Just trying to get to the bathroom was  scary.  But I made it.  The cats just knew & surrounded me.  Both in their beds.  They are comforting.

    I was still shaking when my alarm for work went off.  I called in sick.  Cannot drive.  Too weak.  The basement steps were a scary thought.  And I feel guilty calling in.  "I want my life back.  So mote it be!"

    At noon I checked on my glucose sensors.  They were in Lindsborg so here soon.  I checked the porch & there they were.  I cannot have blood sugar so low again.  It will wake me.  Usually when I am in the 70s.  I just put one on.  Now have 29 seconds until it works again.  No error messages.  My last 2 were faulty.  Although the last one did start working pretty good.  No more finger sticks.  Plus I bought a nice carrying case for my sensor monitor I can hang on my purse.  Cool.  Easy to hook & unhook.

    Too warm today.  I have the AC on.  Outside it is 66.  Where is my winter??  None here but one snow.  Summer temps that just make the weathermen so jolly!!

    This afternoon there was an earthquake here.  Not far from me but I felt nothing.  Have photos to share about it.  My FB group is blowing up with people having to post what every little thing they felt, what their living quarters felt & more.  I am saying nothing.  No one cares.  It was a 3.5 one.  Pretty good.  We could be seafront property someday!!! 😅

    I see where my high school class is planning a reunion.  I used to help plan but I guess no more.  I had no idea.  Or any details.  I was going to quit anyway.  No one from my class ever kept in touch after graduation or now.  I will separate from them.  No loss.

    Soooo sorrrry I missed all the political crap last night.  I read enough to know how glad I am.  Just a stupid show for one person who has done nothing but bad things for my country.  Those who can make changes for the good of everyone need to step up.  Now.  Like that will happen.

    Emailing with JL & texting JR.  That is my day so far.

Poor Gracie my grandpuppy got blamed for the earthquake!!

Her Highness Gracie.  What a princess!!! 💕

One of my favorite flowers.  Poppies are the other ones.

I just want to ride on this train one more time.  Won't happen.  I cannot drive that far & there is no one who will take me.  I am missing so much. 😭

AI me.  Wish I looked & felt this good.
