Today's Name Day: Maj , Majken

Have a friend who has Maj as part of her first name. And she always reads this blog!! Thanks! There is a lady in town with Majken as her first name but spelled differently. I think.

Today was a good day. Not quite enough sleep but did ok. Tried to nap this afternoon but could not fall asleep. No problem..

Had a hair app't this afternoon. Great to see Henry. Always a good conversation. And we end with a hug. Pretty rare I get a hug on any day. I just see no one.

Cooler last night & today. So much better than summer weather. I swear the wheat is starting to turn. Way too early!!! In the 50s last night & 60s today. Wish it would last. More rain is in the forecast. But nothing severe. Need heavy rain here. What a dream. Rain on wednesday night & thursday. Maybe substantial rains.

Wish my appointment had been a bit later. I could have eaten supper out. Pancakes & sausage sounds sooo good. Not in Lindsborg. No one serves those foods. Maybe on Sunday the Sale BARn does until 2pm. Maybe eat early this sunday. Doubt JR will be up that early. We can go out on monday then. Or when ever.

My flare seems to be over for the moment. Much less pain. Not so tired. Plus it always helps to actually get out to see people. See with the coming rains if that changes.

My unnamed kitten likes to lay under my car. I call her & have a treat for her so she stays on the porch. I drive down the driveway to put on lipstick, etc. I am trying to come up with a name for her. Amelie is nice. So is Daisy. Still thinking.

Photos today are a mix. Even some I have taken.

Friends & family quiet today. Only an email from JL. Nothing more.

These are so special.

Beautiful church in Victoria KS. Love stopping there. Need to go for a drive there soon.

Lingonberry margarita.

Wish I was there. Recent photo.

5/2026 - Monday the 18th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Amir , Erik

I had a cousin in Sweden named Erik. I got to meet him. Spent lots of time with him. And family, Awesome guy. Had a couple of men in town named Erik. Had a couple in school with me.

Today was not a good day. Little sleep last night thanks to storms & rain. Still in pain. Had an appointment but cancelled it until thursday.

Today was a bad weather day. We were in a severe storm warnings & tornados. I was almost in a panic. I slowly walked to my shelter to make sure there was nothing in there that should not be. I barely made it there. Even with my cane it was scary. In an emergency I would never make it. I would end up laying in the weeds. Decided the cats would have to stay in the house. But maybe I could grab my kitten. I cried & was in terror. No one cares.

Our weather turned out better than I could have dreamt. No high winds. No hail. No tornadoes. Had some wind & rain. Lucky. I should sleep good tonight.

My kitten lets me pick her up all I want & she purrs & does not struggle to get away from. me. I saw a different cat on the porch eating. Probably the dark grey one I have seen before. He ran to fast so I never saw him good.

Pretty much ignored by most. Extra short short text from MM after I wrote to him, Always hear from JL. Love her lettlers. KN was here to check my tornado shelter. Need my yard mowed but he is too busy. I could walk better with no tall weeds.

Stupid mail person put a pile of mail on my trash bin. None of it was heavy. It all blew to the ground I had to walk around my trash bins to get it all. There was other safer places but he probably drove up & never got out of his car. Tossed it all on my trash out his window.

Many of the photos tonight are old & taken by me. Probably boring.
