4/2026 - Tisdagen den 7:e - MY JOURNEY

My town. Nice poster. The road going through town is a highway. It goes to Marquette KS. My church is on the upper portion of it, just right of center.

Today's Name Day: Irma, Irmalin

Knew a very sweet lady name Irma. She & her first husband were good friends of my father-in-law. I knew another Irma or two in town.

I had another sort of rough day. Sore throat when I cough. Tired of coughing spells. Tired of being tired but sleep escapes me. I was awake until 6am last night. I actually napped in bed this afternoon. Cinder curled up next to me for most of it. Nice. I needed some attention for a change. Kisse was in her bed. Very near me.

Weather is the same old stuff. Too warm ---- 70s. Lows in the 40s. Wind gusts in the 30+ mph.

I saw all 6 kittens in the usual box this morning while Miss Kitty was out & about. They are missing now but she & I got to love each other. Fed her again. Had my phone but no cattle again. Dang. I picked up mail that was delivered.

Lindsborg has a new nutrition place opening. Drinks. Maybe will try it. Would be great to get something different to eat tonight, too. Ha!

JS texted me last night at 3am when he gets up to go to work. He had ignored me all weekend even knowing I was sick. He is not alone in forgetting me.

Only email from JL. Sounds like she had a good Easter. Happy for her.

Windy today. Hard to get out on the porch. It kept blowing the door in my way.

I took a short shower last night before bed. Felt nice. And changed my night gown. New & different is good.

Have a Swedish lady coming to Lindsborg tomorrow. LL is picking her up. I doubt I will get to meet her. There is a buffet in her honour but I cannot go as I cannot get a plate of food & walk with my walker. Such is life. Hard enough at my historical group to just get cookies on a small plate & get back to my chair. No one offers help. Once in a while there is one lady who will offer to help. But if she is not there I get no help.

I have saved photos online & ignored them. They are used today. Have a huge collelction!!! Good to thin it out.

TV sucks. Still no CBS. Now I have heard there is a law suit maybe starting. Found a site talking about what is going on. Channels want to stop Gray Media from adding more channels all willy nilly just to make more money. I am tired of it. Channels must pay Gray to show their channels. Gray has raised the rate a lot. All about money. Not about customers. I can see most of what I am missing but it ties up my laptop. Stupid.

Photos are a mix.

Cool.

Old postcard of Ling Auditoriam. It was on the Bethany Collelge Campus. It burned down before I was born. Wish I could have seen it.

Sweet kitty of mine.

Me & baby Nico. He was so cute.

I like this one. Looks like a portrait.

4/2026 - Måndag den 6:e - MY JOURNEY

Much better time of the year.

Today'a Name Day: Vilhelm, William

Mom had an Uncle Manny whose real name was Vilhelm. He changed it to William. (William is my son's name.) Willie was actually Earl William.

Had a so-so day. Throat only hurts really bad when I cough or swallow, not between coughs.

Today is a sad anniversary. Today my family ceased to be. Not my choice. But for my own physical safety I had no other choice. We almost had to call the law but I chose not to. Should have. Miss my grandchildren. I am sure they only know bad things about me.

Weather was ok. I was mostly inside. Don't care about the weather anymore. I hate Kansas weather. It won't be better for months. Had moderate winds. Few clouds.

I went out to feed Miss Kitty. She was no where to be seen. I but looked in an empty box on the porch. All 6 kittens were snuggled in it!! No way to get a photo but I wish I could have. I wonder if she put them there & told them to STAY!!! Good mom!

After cutting out that one food I like that I decided it was making my stomach sick I have had no problems. Good to know.

After lunch I fed Miss Kitty. She was there then. And the kittens had scattered.

Took a very short nap. Had a nice nap about me & a friend & an uncle & aunt. Nothing special, just nice. Only people I have "seen" in the last week. Only "see" one friend on FB. No one else keeps in touch.

When I woke up I went outside for a while. Miss Kitty came to eat & we bonded a bit. She is sweet.

I now know that no one has time for me. I will expect nothing anymore. Every one has more to do than anything to help me. I will only see if KN can help me this week. Won't ask anyone else. Could ask MS but she works hard & I do not want her to see my house. How awful it is. No more whining on my part. No one cares how I feel anyway.

I wanted some more cattle photos but not a cow or llama insight. Dang. They were too far south.

Rain is forecast for next week, My one weather app has tons of rain forecast for over a week starting next weekend. Even the weather men agree. Scary. The drought is creeping further & further to the north. No quite here yet. Yet.

Kids did not nap with me. Kind of stayed close though. Now that I am busy Cinder is begging for food. There is still dry food. She will live.

I down loaded some photos while outside but they have not synched yet. Dang.

I down loaded an upgraded operating systems on my laptop last night & on my iphone today.

I hope to work on wednesday but depends on my cough. Had a bad coughing spell today. Do not want to be at work & coughing the entire time. Not working at all on friday. Taking a vacation day. Like I have vacation days!!!
