7/2026 - Saturday the 4th- MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Ulrika , Ulla

    Today was ok.  My walking is much better.  No one made fun of me & my walking.  My feelings are still pretty raw & hurt.  Takes a lot to surprise me today but those nasty comments did surprise me.  Thought I was liked.  HA!!!

    I slept good.  So I felt good today.

    I moved where the cats eat in the house.  And cats do not like things changed.  I was worried but when I got up in the middle of the night they had eaten.  Good.  I fed Daisy.  Nothing dead on the porch by her today.  Fed her before I left for the day.

    Today was a work day.  I found I can watch FIFA live on YouTube.  Very cool!!!  Kept me busy.  NO people came in until late..  Lots of people out walking but no interest in the gallery.  Eventually had 3 people come in.  Two local ladies & one guy who works in the gallery,  Really like him.  We had a nice visit.  New art show,  I like it a lot.  Two men & their art.  I shared a photo of each of their work.  Love it all!!!

    Got home after work & took a nice nap.  Too many memories.  Makes me really sad to remember.  Willie & I were always invited to a family get together.  Great BBQ food & desserts.  Family & friends & even a few who actually talked to me!  The. loudest fireworks ever!  But then Willie died.  And I never got invited again.  I know why but it still hurts.  I cried today.

    I bought some new crackers.  Not sure I can eat them.  Cheddar & jalapeno flavored.  Way too hot for me!!!!  I gave up.  Back in the box they went.  Sounded good!!!

    Fed Daisy & got a load of litter to bring in the house,  Will most likely feed her again.  My baby.  She wants to come in so bad.  How nice that would be.  Maybe when she is older.

    No storms forecast.  Lindsborg got some showers early today.  I got nothing as usual.  Now nothing for a few days..

Love this one!

I looked at this photo today.  And I saw an extra hand!!!!  Awful!!  I got rid of it.  How did that happen???

                                                              

                                                                                                                                                                                          

7/2026 - Friday the 3rd- MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Aurora

I remember hearing about a relative name Aurora.  Sort of before my time.  She was not well & was in a mental hospital.  She got out & drowned in a pond.  No idea if it was an accident or not.  Sad life.

    Today was a good day except for my knee.  I am moving really slow.  So embarrassing.  I hope it gets better.

    I never upset anyone today.  A miracle.  Nice to be back at work.  But my laptop did not work like I wanted.  Someone had added photos that someone brought it.  And everytime I scanned a photo it went to that group of photos.  I finally figured out how to get the photo to my stuff.  And extra step or two but I survived.  It should not have worked like that but it did.  And whoever did it was clueless.  That group was full of blank scans.  I cleaned it all up.  I deleted all my errors.  So it looks good now.  Working on quite small photos now.  Keeping them separate so they don't spill.

    My feelings are still hurt from yesterday.  I almost cried this afternoon.  Maybe it took the insult wrong.  I got that they thought it stunk that I skipped out of eating with them.  I am still hurt.

    Hot & humid today.  Even MM said he is sick of it.  Where is autumn when I need it.  I belong to a private group  that hates summer.  My kind of people.  There is nothing good in Kansas in summer.

    I saw 95F with humidity & a good breeze.  Yuck.  Same tomorrow but with a chance of rain storms.  That is Lindsborg's big day to celebrate.  We don't have  fire works any more.  Just stuff in the park with bugs & heat.  I don't go.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Last new guy has left.  Now another new guy for 2 months.  Then he leaves.  Just got the last  one to smile & say hi to me.  Now I have to start all over again!!!  But MS who works there was glad to see me.  Nice to hear.  I missed her also.  And her boyfriend.  I sat towards the front tonight.  Could not walk any farther.

    Tried to take a nap.  But could not relax.  Oh well.  Things to do.  Blog &. spanish.

    Cinder is weird.  She is overly cuddly.  I think her food is gone & wants more.  When I get up I will feed them.

7/2026 - Thursday the 2nd- MY JOURNEY

 

 

   

Today's Name Day:  Rosita , Rosa

I have known several Rosas.  Willie had an aunt Rosa Lee.  Mom had two friends that had Rosa as part of their names.  

    Today was ok while sleeping.  But when I woke up early that was over.  I woke up with severe knee pain.  I could barely walk to the bathroom.  And just laying in bed & not moving was painful.  Why could it not wait until afternoon???  If I could barely walk to the bathroom there was no way I could walk to the restaurant for lunch..  I wrote to my eating group & explained why I could not be there.  And to my surprise they made a nasty comment about me.  I was going to make a comment back but decided to ignore.  I might just drop out of the group.  They can find someone healthy to take my place.  Makes me wonder if the people I work with think & say the same things about me.  I am not feeling good.  Not about my pain.  Not about me.  Not about lunch I ruined.  Very difficult to feel truly alone & then have insults thrown at me.

    I had groceries to pick up & that went good.  I park right by the porch so I don't have to carry anything very far.  Just set all on the porch.  I was worried with a holiday that maybe I would have trouble getting food for Cinder & I.  I have money I am taking out of savings but won't have it until next wednesday.

    Sort of too warm today.  In the 80s with a breeze.  Nothing major.  Hotter coming.  I hate hot weather.  Rain in western Kansas now.  Doubt we get any here.

    Work tomorrow.  I have made up my mind I will work if it about kills me.  No more nasty thoughts or texts about me where I can read them.  I did kick one of the eating group off my blog.

    I had no photos saved for today.  I grabbed some really old ones.  Very frustrating day.

    Sorry I whined about my hurt feelings.  I feel guilty about whinging & ruining their lunch.  How selfish of me.

Nico was a secret smoker!!!!

Photos of a very old old parade in Lindsborg.  Cannot remember where I saw them.

Love this one.
