9/2026 - Saturday the 19th - MY JOURNEY

 


Thunderstorm during supper

Today's Name Day:  Fredricka
I had a friend who named his dog this name.  She was adorable.

    Today was a good day.  Slept good.  A new pillow has helped.  I have 4 pillows on or near my bed,  None are comfy any more.  I saw one I hoped would do the trick.  Bought it.  Super soft & large.  I can turn it however I want,  Like it.  Hope that lasts.
    I slept late & no nap.  Got ready to go eat supper at Jalisco's with N&C.  I managed a burger & fries.  I have bought some pills to take with each meal to calm my tummy from anything unpleasant.  They taste good & seem to work,
    While eating a super cell storm broke.  Not for long but it rained hard with strong winds.  Fun to watch through the windows.  I checked when I got home.  I got  .94" of rain at home.  Miracle!!  Maybe KN can plant wheat soon.  Jalisco's got  .68"
    Nice to see our friends & chat.  We both have had health problems to stop our meeting.
    Did some texting with JL.  Supposed to meet MM but he went home & won't answer my phone calls.  He is probably upset with me.  I was quite tense last night.  Worried about going broke.  I apologized but probably did not matter.
    A quien le importa.
    Daisy did not wake up when I drove up to the house.  Took her a while.  But she had food & water.  Probably gone now.
    Street dance is next saturday.  I am not going.  No one to sit with or talk to.  Not sure what band.  No chair.  No one would care if I am there or not.  Especially now.  Better to rest.
    Washed clothes overnight.  Now to hang them up.  Not motivated.  But will get to it.

Storms clouds.

When Willie could harvest he would clean out the combines in our yard,  The turkeys loved it. Now no wheat & no turkeys.

Local band I think called the Blue Dozen.  Awesome.  Not sure.  As soon as JR printed it he found something cool in the next photo.

There is Mom, Dad, & me.  I have blonde hair, dark sweater,  & sunglasses, to my right is Mom, & Dad standing behind her by a post..






Finally rain!

9/2026 - Friday the 18th - MY JOURNEY

 


White Peacock lunch




Today's Name Day:  Orvar

    Today went better than yesterday.  My blood sugar went up high & stayed there. UNTIL I was ready to sleep.  Then I had to eat it was so low.  Then I could not get to sleep.  I gave up on my Swedish group & slept a bit more.
    LL's morning went awful also.  She missed the Swedish group also.  We finally met at noon for lunch.  Nice lunch, nice conversation.
    Now my BS is high again.  Changing my insulin to my original orders.  Took extra with supper.  See if that helps.
    Work went good. Completed 2 entire sets.  Cool.  But no one talked.  Busy.  Then they all and others went out to eat.  Hurt.  I know I am only a volunteer but it hit me wrong.  Cried all the way home.  A variety of reasons.  Still feel tearful.  Just get tired of being alone with no one caring or calling.  Hope I feel better tomorrow. 
    Got hot again.  Saw 100F.  Ick.  Raining in part of KS.  Hope it gets here.

9/2026 - Thursday the 17th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Hildegard , Magnhild


    Today was a good day.  I slept good overnight. Nice.  My eyes see the usual grey & black.  Used to that..
    I was chilly last night,  My usual night feelings.  Always chilly,  But that ended today.  I saw 103F today.  Icky,  Same tomorrow.  Then cooler & rainy on saturday.  Finally,
    Had lunch with my thursday girls.  We went to the White Peacock,  I had biscuits & gravy.  Got home & my blood sugar was high.  And it has not moved again.  I even took an extra insulin.  Extra high.  Maybe it did not go into my leg through my slacks.  Weird that it is so high.  Not much I can do,  Just ignoring,  I feel ok.  I have a muffin to eat but will not try any more food.  It is bothering me mentally.
    I took photos where ever I was today.  The one group I belong to have a theme every day.  Thursday is Urban day,  I got 2 photos of lBK of Main Street.  My Urban photos.
    No huge boxes of mail today.  Great.  Small things in the mail box.
    I went to Coronado Heights & looked at my gas gauge..   Thank goodness I did.  I was on empty.  Back to town to fill up.  Cost me $57+.  My thought was f**k drumpf.  What a jerk.  Hurting the entire world.
    Tomorrow is an early day,  Swedish group.  And no supper.  Too long a day,  Supper with friends on saturday evening with friends.  In the rain I hope!!
    My laptop was a mess yesterday.  No idea why.  It finally straightened out.
 
Main Street facing to the north,  The white steeple is my church,  To the left if out water tower.
