9/2026 - Thursday the 24th - MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Gerhard, Gert 
I had a great uncle whose name was Gerhard.  In Sweden a friend's mom is named Gert.  Think there is a middle name also.  Nice family & farm.

     Today was a so-so day.  Trouble sleeping.  I had something on my mind so I finally got up & created what I wanted.  Then I could relax & sleep.  Fell asleep around 5am.  Slept until noon.  No nap today.
    I had a great dream this morning.  I hated to leave it.  Lots of familiar things & people in it.  I think I knew the people in my dream.
    Blood sugar is a problem again.  Running too low often.  So I lowered my insulin today by 1.  Now too high.  Grrrrr.  I cannot win.   I sort of eat the same amount of food at meals.
    Had one period of rain & thunder this morning.  Now I got a notice rain is approaching again  See if we actually get some more rain.  So far today I have had about half an inch.  LBK much less than that.  Not half an inch at all.
    TV is ok tonight.  Josh Gates is on.  Reruns of him are much better than anything on the usual 3 channels.  All their shows are the same --- blood & guts, shootings, just stupidity.  Never watch.  They insult my intelligence.
    Saw MM at his house.  Long visit.  Miss seeing him more often.  He has been sick with an infection.  Better finally.  Been a couple of weeks.
    I am worthy today.  Finally.  I have given all I can but no one ever gives to me.  I am always on the short end of getting.  It has to quit before I run out of money.  I really cannot go back to work for money.  I am not able.  I hope my receivers get that figured out.  A quien le importa.  Por supuesto que si.
    Need to check on Daisy.  Make sure she has water & food.  I might let her just walk in the house as I get it all ready.  Little steps.  I want her to come in.  Need to show her the litter pans.  May need a third one somewhere.  I hope they can all get along.  Please, angels??!!
    Had a special welcoming when I got home.  He is my lead photo.  Only one.  Did not see the other one.  Made my day!!!  All in all, a good day.

I think these are Showy Tick-trefoil.  They bloom after we have rain.  Today the first I have seen them.

Sunflowers.  I think this is the last of them.

Sunflowers & Queen Anne's Lace or wild carrot.  We have thousands & thousands growing & blooming this year.

9/2026 - Wednesday the 23th - MY JOURNEY

 

Daisy


Today's Name Day:  Tea, Tekla
I remember a couple of ladies named Tekla.  Never hear that name now.

    Today I did not work.  Called in sick yesterday when I thought I was dying.  I had trouble sleeping last night until I put on some stickers for sleep around 4am.  Too late to use but I was soooo tired.  Cinder slept with me.  So did Kisse.  Babysitters.
    Lunch briefly upset me but did not last.  Been ok since then.  Just my usual tiredness.
    Had a good nap.  With my cats again.  When I got up I took my iPhone outside to sit with Daisy.  She must have missed me.  I got lots of attention.  Nice for me for a change.  While out the fedex delivery guy came.  Too late for me to hide.  But I thanked him & apologized for the pile of shit in my yard.  I explained someone is supposed to clean it up but there are more important things this summer than me ---- harvest, planting, kids, etc..  I got 2 boxes.  Heavy,  Cat food.  If I had known how heavy I would have asked him for help!!!  😀 Not really but no one else is any help to me.  So I thanked him for all he does.  Nice kid.
    Weather is awesome.  I saw 58F last night. Today was 77F.  ICT is still whining as they are hotter than here.  We got higher temps this summer than there but they more days hot days.  And they have not gotten close to 50s at night yet.
    Quiet day.  Got an email but no texts.  Was supposed to get a phone call 2 days ago but never happened.  He was too busy I suppose.
    Thursday lunch is cancelled for 2 weeks.  One of us is too busy.  Not me.  No one would want to eat with just me.  Will try to eat out tomorrow evening.  Need to see MM & JR both.  They need me as usual.  I will skip Swedish group on friday so I can eat out after work.  Cannot eat out on saturday.  Street dance.  No parking.  Sure the street is closed.
    Late night tv is boring tonight.  Probably watch Kimmel for the begining then go to bed.  When they have people I do not know I can skip.
    Done here. Then spanish.  Stress!!!
