9/2026 -Sunday the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Sture
I knew a man from Norway named Sture.  Probably a couple in Sweden also.


    Today was a good day. Could have slept better.  Work was a bit slow & I had to work at not nodding off!!
    Weather was good.  Our low was 62F.  Our high was 88F.  Tomorrow is forecast to be 101F.  Horrible.  Glad I am staying home.  Need to load some trash for trash day on tuesday.  Some heavy boxes.  No help.  I will hurt bad after I do that.  Fun day.
    Had a friend who was supposed to spend the afternoon with me & some tea & muffins.  But her sister had things for her today so she just came to say hello.  Just not fair.  But I woke up a bit after she left.  Had a few visitors but not many.  Yesterday the area the gallery is in was busy with lots of parked cars & lots of people walking around.  Today it was dead.  No cars.  Some people walking around but not many.  And few came in.  Some days are like that.  I have had worse.
    Almost when time to go home.  MH came with a friend from the gallery, MH (same initials).  The second guy stayed.  He is a fave of mine.  We had a nice visit about art & politics.  Wish he would come in more often.  Nice ending to my day.
    No supper out.  Too tired.  I hurried home for a cozy nap.  Felt awesome!!
    Supper was good but I have had trouble ever since I applied by guclose sensor.  I seem to be running  low blood sugar more than usual.  Or more than I have realised.  Not sure if I should lower my insulin or eat more.  I will learn.  I keep food nearby.
    Not any communication for me today.  As usual.  Did get a new photos of 2 of my great grandsons.  And last night I got several messages from a friend who lives out of the country.  Good to hear from him.

9/2026 -Saturday the 12th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Åsa , Åslög
I  did have a swedish friend named Åsa.  But never hear from her anymore.  We were just friends on Flickr.


    Today was a good day.  I slept good after being up too early.  I rarely woke up.  On weekends when MH is opening for me I try to be there early.  That way he can go eat as he wants.
    There was a couple who came in right away.  I got organized & signed in, donated, started taking photos right away.  Both east & west rooms are full of art.  very good.  His photos are easy to take photos of so tomorrow I have to put them in a folder & name it.
    Weather has been awesome. The low was 71F.  The high was 85F.  This weather app shows monday to be 100F.  But only one day.  All other days are 80s to 90s.  And possibly rain.  It is hopeful. But is it true???
    JR came in to see MH art & take photos.  He took lots of photos.  I think MH is talking again at the end of the month.  I will make that talk!!!
    The afternoon was rather steady with visitors of all ages.  Pleasant.  I never got tired.  I charged my iPad & then my phone.  I left my bag there under the desk.  Saved me carrying it twice.
    Think I have weekend eating figured out.  I am not paying to eat twice every weekend.  One saturday will eat at Jalisco's the next weekend is Sunday at China.  That seems fair.
    Fun to see my amigos at Jalisco's plus I heard from a friend in Mexico.  I have been worried about him.
    I got my glucose sensors yesterday & just got one hooked up.  The first one did not work.  So threw it away.  Second one is perfect.  Great!!
    Going to my Swedish group was great yesterday.  Many actually were glad to see me.  Lots of greetings & hugs.  And the president asked if I would lead the group in Our Father in Swedish.  I was honored.  Nice.  A friend is here from New York so we sat together like we used to.  Good times.
    The photos for today are all from Europe.  Something different.  Beautiful photos.
    I actually feel good today.  Rare.  Except when I got home my knee about gave out.  No bueno.  Right now it is quiet.  I have had neck pain for 2 days.  Why?  Better tonight.

The artist of the photos today.  From her blog.
