5/2026 - Friday 8th - MY JOURNEY

 





Today's Name Day:  Åke

    Today was a good day.  I slept good.  Checked for my 7 babies first thing but none here.  Makes me so upset.  I fall in love with them & hope to watch them grow & have fun & learn to love me.  Then they are taken from me.  Why?  Feel like I am being punished.  Why???  But I keep looking & calling.  They have got to be starving.
    The llamas were near my yard so I left early.  Took many photos.  Talked to them.  Love them.  Nice start to the day,
    Started the day with lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  I had a double biscuits & gravy.  I needed a special meal.  My blood sugar has been low for a couple of days.  I did not care if it went high. Would not bother me during work.  And it did not.
    I drove to an exercise place along the walking trail in town.  It is in the memory of a local doctor.  Took photos there.  Something different to share.
    Then on to the Old Mill.  Working on photos of children with no names or photographers.  There was a couple with names.  I posted then on the off chance some present family member has a clue.  I am a dreamer.
    I got brave & looked in Amazon for an Epson scanner.  Yikes!!!  Prices are from $99 to $1000.  Not my problem.  It is getting worse.  Harder to get it to turn off & back on.  No one does anything about it.  I report once how it changes & there is usually the same comment made & then dropped.  I have a routine down pat.  Scan on photo then reboot.  And repeat.  I have time to surf things while I wait.
    Supper was at Jalisco's.  Today is MS birthday.  Fun to get to say it in Spanish!!  Saw AR too.  And a new guy.  He knows a bit of english so we introduced outselve.s.. S.eems nice.  No dessert for me today.  Blood sugar is sky high.  About bedtime it will be low enough for a cookie!!  (Aha!!!  Just had a cookie!!!)
    Did my spanish lesson,  I do not care anymore.  If I drop down a level I do not care.  When I get tired I quit.  Period.  I am tired of each lesson is actually 8-9 long lessons.  Especially when I have worked all day & more.  Or I am in pain. Sheesh!
    Catching up on soaps while I blog.
    Had a good friend who portrayed Coronado for our historical group.  Sharing a couple of photos of him.  We need to do that again.  Fun!!!  Our Coronado Heights was first settled by Indians.  We know about where they lived.  Then the Spaniards came looking for eternal life.  That was Coronado.  Some chain mail was found around there.  Next were the Swedes.  They found a way to get along with the Indians.  The Indians needed flour, eggs, & maybe milk.  Give them what they need & they left & hurt no one.  In Saline County one family refused & were killed.
    I forgot my energy drink today & got really tired. Came home for a nap,  Helped.
    Rain forecast for tomorrow.  Time will tell.  Won't be enough.though    Photos today are all mine.  I need to take more photos.  And I am always looking for something unique.  I post on a site that is for posting photos that have no meaning or aren't important.  Many are awesome though.  I posted one of a table protector that was set under cocktails in bars etc.  It was laying on the patio floor at the Sale Barn.  Took a photo.  I am shocked.  There have been 25 people who liked it & 5 or comments.  All funny,  Fun!!!

5/2026 - Thursday 7th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Carita , Carina
I do not know these names.  Had one ancestor called Aunt Carrie.  Close as I get.


    Today was actually great!!  What a surprise.  I knew part of it would be but it ended even better.
    Night was awful.  I could not keep my eyes open so missed Colbert.  Fell asleep right away.  Woke up later freezing to death!!  I pulled up my weighted blanket.  I finally warmed up & then I was too warm.  Blanket off.
    My blood sugar was constantly low all night.  And I had even took less insulin.  I do not understand.  I wonder if the med I take for my neuropathy is changing things inside me.  Who knows???
    I met a newer friend for coffee at the White Peacock.  She is in charge of a building in town.  Plus she is on the SVAFC board.  When she is supposed to work & cannot then she calls me.  I love those calls from several people,  A fun coffee!  She has had the most interesting life.  I love hearing about it.  We plan on meeting again.  Very nice.
    I called MM to see if he was at work.  He was so I went to the Sale Barn.  We sat outside for a while but then I moved inside when he got busy.  I decided to have supper there.  Better than me cooking,  Had a burger with egg & cheese & fries.  
    A guy who works there is also a professional singer.  And works hard at that.  He even said I looked prettier than when we first met.  MM said I am Grandma so he renamed me  Grandma Hottie!!!  What a fun guy!  Nice to laugh!.  And truly sweet guy.  I warned him he was making my blog tonight!!!  So here he is!!!
    On they way home I stopped to see Willie.  His flowers looked so bad.   I had 2 last bouquets in the trunk of the car so his grave looks better now.  Someone planted daisies behind his grave & they looked awesome.  Took lots of photos,  Said hello to MM's father & my best friend John,  Cemetery looks good.  I have lots of new flowers that have come.  Ready to make graves look good.  A couple of graves have peonies on them.  Took more photos.
    Got home and a very lazy mail man drove up in my yard.  He was no where near my car port or porch.  Or even my trash bins.  He tossed a box on the ground and went on his merry way.  Need to complain. Found 2 packages in the ditch behind my mail box.  One was totally ruined.  The other one was ok.
    Although a great day, got sad news at noon.  A local man I really liked & respected passed away today.  So sad.  Peace & hugs to his family.
    Still no baby cats.  Starting to worry again.  They have to be starving.  I keep calling,  Only get a possum & a racoon.  Dang.
