02/2026 - Fredag den 20:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Vivianne
Had a relative name Vivianne.  Probably met her once,

    Had a really bad night.  Cinder kept coming in to wake me up.  I was freezing cold in my bedroom.  Total body pain.  I took an anxiety pill that did no good.  A friend & I accidently called each other at midnight.  Long story.  But we did have a good conversation.  No sleep at all.  And I weakened & whined online.  In addition to those telling me exactly what I should or should not do.  Plus a family member having some severe decisions to make.  I am worried.
    I cancelled work today which makes me feel super guilty.  No matter how much I read to take care of me I still feel guilty.  Even though my job is not important, whether I am there or not.
    Stayed cold today.  And snow now.  Very little.  More like snow pellets.  I was out in it.  I had trash waiting to be put in a bin. 
    Local weathermen are pouting at winter weather.  Well, duh.  It is winter now.  Not summer.  But are giddy about far too warm weather coming again.  And more bugs.  But my zapper is here.  😈
    Saw an extra cat in my driveway.  It was pretty.  I put food out & something ate it.  Hope it was the cat!
    I did manage a cozy nap.  Last night's strong winds are gone,  Good.
    Hate to watch the national news.  Stupidity is irritating.  Local news is better.  Think the fires are out.  Now to recover.  Not an easy job.  I remember when our house burned down.  Took months to feel at home somewhere.  And to feel safe again.  And we learned who were truly our friends.  Still remember.  My supposedly best friend sent a card that was joking.  Not funny.  Eventually that friendship ended.
    Olympics were great last night.  My favorite ice skater won Gold.  My favorite speed skater won silver.  Exciting.  Sharing a couple of photos.
    Supper time.  Don't want to fix anything,  Maybe peanut butter & jelly!!!





















Love this one

02/2026 - Torsdagen den 19:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Where is my winter??  Super warm weather is coming again.  Drought is back.  😔



Today's Name Day:  Ella,  Gabriella
Have known an Ellie & Elly.  Know a sweet Gabi.  Love the name Gabriella.

    Had a good day today.  Slept sort of ok.  But I was so chilly all night.  I added socks, long sleeved shirt, & a third blanket.  Then I felt cozy
    Up early to get ready for lunch out.  Met my thursday group.  I got there first.  Then MH showed up.  I usually watch who comes in but I failed.  CA & SR came in but did not see me.  They sat up front.  We were in the back.  And they are never late.  I finally called CA.  What a shock that they were in & had their food!!!  That was a first!!!  I only had a burger & fries.  Really good.  We visited until around  130pm.  Then I went home.
    Checked the mail hoping for my glucose sensors.  Nothing but junk in the mailbox..  Maybe tomorrow.
    I took a nice, restful & cozy nap.  Needed that.
    Temps are falling now.   It is 29 here now.  Have water dripping.  Small chance for some moisture of some kind.  Short break from heat & bugs.  Weathermen are sooo excited for heat returning.  Where is our winter.  I am not excited.  Flies inside the house & a mosquito in my car.  Have a bug zapper ordered.  My old one does not work.  I assume the heat, humidity, & bug lovers are happy.
    Huge fires continue in southern Kansas.  Had a man on the news who lost his mom's house, his house, his farm buildings/equipment.  He had  safes in his house that were supposed to be fireproof.  Everything in those safes burned up.  He lost a milllion dollars of  damage that he is not sure he can recover.  His neighbours are helping him & his family in big ways.  Don't always see that in cities.
    I had some mail in boxes but too cold to mess with.  Wait for the heat again.  Nothing important that the cold will hurt.
    Emailing JL today.  That was it.  Photos are a mix & even a couple I took.
