03/2026 - Fredag den 13:e - MY JOURNEY

Had a good Friday the 13th.

Today's Name Day: Greger

Known a Greg or two.

Had a good day. Got a bit tired at the end of my working day. Weather played havoc with my RA today. Pain kept increasing all day. No bueno. And nothing helped me feel better.

Started my day at the White Peacock for lunch with LL. Had good food & good conversation. The Old Mill has finally hired a new director. Great decision. Someone from Lindsborg with lots of experience in managing & writing grants. I am hopeful!!

I then worked at SVAFC. MH opened it around 30 minutes early. Someone came in right away. Not a lot of visitors today but a few. I never had time to get tired. But I did.

Supper for JR & I was at Jalisco's. Fun to see & chat with MA, MS, & AJTR. They were busy but not swamped. They made me laugh!!!

I tried to take a nap when I got home. And I was sleeping so nicely. And my alarm went off early. I was clueless. I accidently set a timer for one & a half hour. Duh. Short nap.

Before I went to town this morning there was a feral cat in my driveway. I got. a nice photo of him. I am sharing him tonight. He was grey.

There is a lady I have seen twice recently. She kind of looked familiar but not sure who she is. She even called me by my name. The worker at the Peacock who took my money who also looks familiar told me they were her parents. And they were the original owners of the Peacock, Of Course!!! And their daughter is an artist & I own 2 of her paintings. Glad she is back. I thought that is who she is.

I hate the weather here. Extra warm tomorrow. Usch. Sunday it starts warm but by afternoon it is down to 35F with 50mph winds again. Usch. Then next thursday our temperature is 80-90F. Double Usch. Heat, humidity, & more bugs. 😱. The weatherman on the tv is driving me crazy. He needs to shut up. Too giddy about it being hot.

Photos are from one author. I just ordered one of his books. Cool. And some photos from lunch.

03/2026 - Torsdagen den 12:e - MY JOURNEY

I love what this says. I know this to be true. At my cousin's house I took photos of one of the bushes there & a cool table on the porch. Her kids were clueless. Never seen them. And they walked by them weekly. Carry a camera or your iPhone & you will see lots of things others miss.

Today's Name Day: Victoria

I have known a Vickie or two. The only Victoria I know of is the Crown Princess of Sweden. She becomes queen after her father steps down. She will be a good queen.

I have had better days. I felt good yesterday but last evening I started feeling bad. And it got worse. I had increased pain & lots of anxiety. No idea about the anxiety. And little sleep. But I got a phone call today that caused me some anxiety. Maybe I knew inside it was coming. Nothing awful just changes in family life.

Cinder must have sensed I felt ill. She stayed with me all night. Usually she snuggles to my chest but last night she was next to my legs.

I cancelled today. Just did not have it in me especially with pain & no sleep.

I started a medication & I think it might be working. Yesterday I had less pain. And walking the basement steps were a bit easier. And my feet are still swollen & feel better. I have hope. I have taken it 5 times. I feel better after it then that fades. Hopefully that fading with stop.

I was going to carry some trash bags outside but our winds have been up to 50mph. I needed to feed the feral cats & get me a diet coke. I could barely walk just on the porch. Yikes!!! Scary. No way I could walk out to the trash bins. Need to have one moved up to my car port. The trash guys can move it back out to empty. I have to go back out to gather mail that has come. What fun!!!

We still have no CBS here. Idiots. Fighting with the who they are in business with. JR found me an app that streams what is on CBS. It was a mess to get it running but is great. Got caught up on my soap operas. And Colbert. It is on my iphone & my laptop. Cool!!! Then I switched to the live news but too depressing. Switched to soccer from Europe. I might use it for that a lot. I saw 2 matches. Fun!!! They were Madrid & Portugal.

I got my spanish lessons done just now. One of the sentences they had said "I don't like my president!" What a surprise!! They have used a combination of 3 words that can say either I like or I don't like. Easy. MA & I talked about it last night. I learn things that many Mexicans don't use. He had other ways to say those.

3/2026 - Onsdag den 11:e - MY JOURNEY

This is an old photo. It is actually 60 years ago today!!! These are the seniors on the team. They are Jim, Dale, Randy, John, & Linda. Dale made the winning basket as the game ended & the buzzer rang out. Super exciting!! I was lucky enough to be there. I was also a senior. Still friends with Randy & John.

Today's Name Day: Edvin, Egon

Had a good day, mostly. Worked at the Old Mill. All was well except for the old scanner. It just won't work. I would change the settings & if it would scanning several photos I would keep using those settings. Right before time to go home the scanner was a mess. Like some of the program would just keep going back & forth in it. Could not scan & it would not turn off. I could not stop the app from working over & over. I turned the computer off but the scanner kept running. I had to figure out which was the electrical cord. I did not guess right to start with. I finally got it turned off. And it does this all the time. Not happy. Someone needs to come check it out.

Supper was at Jalisco's. AJTR saved my booth for me. We chatted a bit & then he disappeared. I think he was washing dishes tonight. MS was there & good to see her. And MA had time to chat a bit. Good meal. I had another burger & fries. Sooo good. They are the best.

Groceries came next. Now Cinder & I are happy!!!

Was a bit cooler today. Somehow I felt ok in the basement at work. Miracle. House is a bit chilly tonight. And we had high winds today. Hate wind. Very cold weather comes this weekend. More wind tomorrow. In a fire watch. Scary times.

I was really tired when I got home, I laid down to nap. I never fell asleep but Cinder cuddled with me the entire time. I need her more than sleep.

I had feelings of not belonging today. More than usual. No real reason for it. I really do not belong anywhere. Think I am still upset over my class reunion that no one could have bothered to tell me when, where, how much, food, etc. Think I will just skip it.
