Used a new app to create this graphic.  It has cool texting fonts.

Today's Name Day:  Alexandra,  Sandra

Had a friend Sandra I went to school with & we were car hops together at A&W in Lindsborg.

    Another quiet, alone day.  Getting used to it.  At least the weather felt cooler.  It wasn't cooler but no sun helped.  Plus I felt chilly overnight.  Felt good to bundle up under covers.

    Had a long email from JL.  That was about it.  I give up.  Do I have to beg for any slight attention??  I tried. yesterday but only got my comments being liked not truly answered.

    Last night JS & I had a video chat for almost an hour.  He had not taken his pill that helps him sleep yet.  He always has 2 cats on his bed near him.  Cinder laid on me & we had to rub noses.  More than once.  He loved watching her!!  What a sweet baby.  We had a nice visit.  Need his friendship.  Wish he was here.

    We had super high winds in Kansas today.  I think ours was around 40mph.  But in the SW part of the state winds were much higher.  Around 50 - 60mph.  And then fires started.  They had to evacuate people as the fires were moving fast towards their homes..

    Cinder followed me to the kitchen for her lunch treat when I fixed my lunch.  Then she disappeared.  She found a comfy place to nap somewhere.  BUT.  She never showed up again.  She usually follows Kisse & I to the bedroom to nap.  No Cinder.  Could not see her anywhere.  I got worried.  I finally started calling her.  All over the house.  No Cinder.  She finally showed up.  What a relief.  Not sure where she napped.  Sometimes she sleeps on the floor near the TV.  Or she hides in the kitchen.  Now she is back.  And we cuddled for a while.  I even put out extra food that has been ignored.

    I have decided not to work for MH this friday.  I just do not feel good enough to work an extra day.  Tired & sore.

    Saw I just got some mail.  A box no doubt.  Hate to go out to sort through the mail in the dark,  But I am so glad I went out to check.  I had preordered a book from a cool guy I follow on Threads.  And it came today!!  I am excited to get it.  Now for time to read it!!!  And improve me.

    Heavy, heavy snow in Italy Olympics.  Cancelled events yesterday.  Fun to see snow even if not here.

    Just got a text from MM.  Pleasantly surprised.

    Photos are a mix.  I had too many last night so I only used half & saved some for tonight.  Love the art drawing pictures.  I am addicted to them.  One site has tons that can be shared.

 

Always be kind!

True words!!!

The kids & me.  The barn is my neighbour's.  I edited it.

AI me.

                                                   

  

02/2026 - Måndag den 16:e - MY JOURNEY

Someone in town had a Princess Tårta cake for sale.  Wish I could have had it but too much for one person.  A favorite Swedish food.  Had one there.  Also it in Lindsborg once & at IKEA.

Today's Name Day:  Julia, Julius

Worked with a Julia.  Knew a man named Julius.

    Day was sort of ok.  Not much sleep overnight.  Had a cozy nap this afternoon with Cinder snuggling the entire time.  My angels must have listened to me beg.  And maybe a Name Day gift.

    Far too warm today.  Had the AC on.  There are flies in my kitchen sink & outside.  Usch.  But as long as everyone is happy my feelings do not matter.

    I saw the llamas near my yard but they stayed mixed in with the cattle.  I sat outside hoping they would move away from cattle & the trees in my yard.  Wishing for too much.  No photo.  But cool to finally see them.

    Had some strong winds here today early.  Worse tomorrow.  I never moved my flattened boxes.  Do it another day.  Trash day tomorrow.  And my back was not up to lifting today.  During the night I sure hurt.  Less pain today though.

    Family is quiet.  Email from JL.  SnapChat from a Texas friend.  She is sweet.  MM will acknowledge if I text him but no answer.  That is it.

    Got a new pain roll on med.  Testing it now.  See how good it is.

    While awake last night was surfing online.  I found a live video from ATR at the circus in Salina.  When we left Pizza Hut last night the traffic from there was amazing!!  And on Burma Road too.  No clue why until I saw his videos.  Fun to see the circus & him & his family!

    Photos are so-so.

A rare photo with all 3 pets in one photo.  Then added a photo of me.  We are a nice family.  Never bother the neighbours!!!

Today's Name Day:  Sigfrid

The only Sigfrid I heard of was a show star in Las Vegas. Never got to see them.  Two guys & their wild animals on stage.

    An ok day.  Still depressed & sore.  Plus being ignored is continuing.  Have too great a weekend to remember me.

    I slept ok last night.  Layed on my pillow wrong friday night so had a sore neck last night.  Ended up having one snack.

    Tried a short nap this afteroon but did not happen.  Got ready to go out for supper.  Makeup looked awful.  Will be careful the next time.  In a hurry I guess.

    Foggy this morning but no rain or wind.  Little cooler today.  I loosely keep track of our weather for a week at a time.  I see we have cooler temps coming.  I thought we only had warm weather forecast.  Who can keep track???

    Tonight was supper at Pizza Hut with C&N.  They are great fun!!  And we think alike.  So is our sense of humor!  I just had fries & my stomach did fine.

    After supper was groceries.  Cinder has been ok of her ham.  She beat me to the kitchen when I got home!!  I bought some Swedish cookies called Kex.  So good.  The Old Mill had some getting ready for the waffle celebration that we do.  Ours is stupid.  Sweden does it nice.  But we are selling these cookies in our gift shop that day.  LL gave me one to try.  Mistake!!!  💖. Sort of a crisp waffle cookie covered in chocolate.  If you can find some give them a try.  I have a package here now.

    Fueled the car & then home.  The traffic from the Salina was awful in town.  Went to go home on Burma Road & there was the same heavy traffic.  Sheesh!!!  Wonder why??

    Did my Spanish lesson & it was even easy.  And  fun.  Nice to understand a bit.

    Kisse is weird tonight.  She has run over me on the sofa several times.  Now curled up next to me sleeping.  A little chilly in here.  Maybe she is chilly.  Have to turn some heat on.  Cinder is sleeping on my dvr where it is always warm.  They fight over that spot.

    Photos are a mix.  Some I even like.  Deleted some I did not like.

Lindsborg in a past snow.

Breaks my heart.  Lucky he knew wh0 I was.
