7/2026 - Thursday the 2nd- MY JOURNEY

 

 

   




Today's Name Day:  Rosita , Rosa
I have known several Rosas.  Willie had an aunt Rosa Lee.  Mom had two friends that had Rosa as part of their names.  


    Today was ok while sleeping.  But when I woke up early that was over.  I woke up with severe knee pain.  I could barely walk to the bathroom.  And just laying in bed & not moving was painful.  Why could it not wait until afternoon???  If I could barely walk to the bathroom there was no way I could walk to the restaurant for lunch..  I wrote to my eating group & explained why I could not be there.  And to my surprise they made a nasty comment about me.  I was going to make a comment back but decided to ignore.  I might just drop out of the group.  They can find someone healthy to take my place.  Makes me wonder if the people I work with think & say the same things about me.  I am not feeling good.  Not about my pain.  Not about me.  Not about lunch I ruined.  Very difficult to feel truly alone & then have insults thrown at me.
    I had groceries to pick up & that went good.  I park right by the porch so I don't have to carry anything very far.  Just set all on the porch.  I was worried with a holiday that maybe I would have trouble getting food for Cinder & I.  I have money I am taking out of savings but won't have it until next wednesday.
    Sort of too warm today.  In the 80s with a breeze.  Nothing major.  Hotter coming.  I hate hot weather.  Rain in western Kansas now.  Doubt we get any here.
    Work tomorrow.  I have made up my mind I will work if it about kills me.  No more nasty thoughts or texts about me where I can read them.  I did kick one of the eating group off my blog.
    I had no photos saved for today.  I grabbed some really old ones.  Very frustrating day.
    Sorry I whined about my hurt feelings.  I feel guilty about whinging & ruining their lunch.  How selfish of me.











Nico was a secret smoker!!!!

Photos of a very old old parade in Lindsborg.  Cannot remember where I saw them.









Love this one.

One of our table of treats at the Swedish Friendship Group.  They have totally changed the name.  Like this name.

7/2026 - Wedesday the 1st - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Aron , Mirjam
I have known men called Aron or Aaron.  Had a step grandson name Aaron.  Years ago.  Known a woman or two named Mariam.


    Today did not go as planned.  I slept great but got up & got sick.  I was sickly yesterday also.  How much longer???  Getting so old.
    Cinder slept with me all morning.  That is not normal.  I woke up very early & she was next to me.  I never woke up.  After I called in sick, she was back next to me.  Very nice.  Before I went to sleep last night Kisse was curled up next to me.  Nice to feel loved.
    Had trouble with a member of Lindsborg Now harassing my grandson in private & then on my group.  I banned him.  What a jerk.  He posted nasty things to MM.
    Another warm day.  I saw 85F.  Might have gotten warmer.  A nice breeze.  No rain here.  Not seen the weather if any later.  Watched FIFA.  Saw England win!!  Awesome!!  Now the US on.
    Fed Daisy supper.  She sat on my lap a few times & purred.  What a sweetheart!!
    Lunch out tomorrow & maybe groceries.  Hope I am ok.  Can have quiche tomorrow for lunch!!  Yummy!!







Cute






This family is friends of Willie & I.  One summer everyone had really bad wheat.  This family was required to harvest what they had.  That tiny pile was it!!!  I had stopped to say hi & I took a photo of them & their total crop!!!  Funny & sad!!



In no way can I play pool.  I am awful,

6/2026 - Tuesday the 30th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Leif , Elof
I only know of a Swedish explorer name Leif.  Did have a family in town with the last name of Leaf.


    Today has been nothing but trouble.  I just do not deserve so much trouble.
    I could not sleep at all last night.  I was calm.  I laid quiet.  But no sleep.  I had an appointment I knew I could not sit through that tired.  I called in sick,  I will have to pay for it but I just don't care.  Guilt feelings for taking care of me.
    Usually when my alarm goes off Cinder comes running.  Not today.  Not normal.  I fed Daisy & ready to feed me.  I called & called for Cinder.  She finally showed up.  Really scared me.  Especially when I have no clue how old she is.
    Had trouble with my phone & laptop.  Google would not work.  I had no internet to start with.  Got it turned back on.  Did not help.  I could not blog to save my life.  I gave up.  Finally tonite it works.  And so does my phone.
    Then my mail came.  I had nothing to drink here so I ordered juice & sodas.  And it was all heavy!!!  As I am trying to get it in the house, Daisy is trying to get in the house also.  I finally managed.  I have drinks that are all in the house.  Need some in the fridge too.
    Been watching soccer today.  Missed one match that had the winner I wanted.  Then I saw Sweden lose to France.  Dang.  Now Mexico is on.  They should win I think.  Mexico has scored 2 goals close to each other.
    Early this morning the weather said there was lightning near me.  But nothing happened.  And that line of clouds were there all day.  Severe in the west.  See if we get anything.  Nothing on the radar now any where.  All gone.  It was very hot again today.  Over 90F & strong winds again.












Norway won.

Sweden lost 3-0.
