Today's Name Day:  Gudmund,  Ingemund

    My day did not start good.  Low blood sugar most of the night.  Then an upset stomach when I got up.  I was afraid I would be sick like I was yesterday.  I just cancelled the day.  I ate lunch without any problems.  Maybe could have eaten out today but I did not feel perky enough to.  And still scared it could turn worse.  I just took it easy today.  Want to work tomorrow.  And saturday.
    Weather is ok.  The wind has calmed way down.  Been outside twice.  We had rain overnight.  One tv weather posted who got how much rain.  Towns east of me got from 1 inch to 4 inches.  Lovely.  I got a wonderful 0.12 inches.  Yeah.  That pulled us out of the drought area.  Pathetic.  Rain chances tomorrow night and another cold front..   I am not in it.  Close but no cigar.  And high winds again tomorrow.  We always get high winds just no rain.
    I bonded with Miss Kitty twice.  She is sweet. No cattle near my yard today.  And no llamas.
    I did watch Colbert & my soaps.  Colbert is always great.  What will I do without him.  Stupid CBS.  There are two other late night shows.  One I like the other one not so much.  Then a later one I love.
    I took a short nap.  Cinder snuggled for a while then moved to lay in the sunshine by the window.  Kisse was in the bedroom in her bed.  She has not laid in the pet bed for a couple of months.  Last night she slept there all night.  Great!!!  Cinder rarely sleeps in it.
    Email with JL.  MM posted photos but not for me.  Business ad they are filming.  Nothing from anyone else.  Usual for me.
    Got an order I did for crackers & cookies.  Good for a while now.  Hard to depend on JR when I do not go in the store to see what they have.  Order from Amazon.
    Photos are some I took today & some drawings that I enjoy.  Probably most don't.  But my blog, my photos.





Love this one.

4/2026 - Onsdag den 01:e - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Harald,  Hervor
Willie's brother was Harold.  Died long before Willie.

    My day started a bit bad.  I had slept good.  I had at least 1 cat in bed with me most all night.  Odd but nice.  I got dressesd & ate lunch with no problem.  On the way to town, I got so sick in my stomach.  I thought I would have to just turn around to go home.  I finally started to feel better so I went to work,  No further problems.  Odd problems.  I am sure it was something I ate.
    Before I got in my car here came Miss Kitty.  So I sat on the bench & we bonded a bit.  She is sweet.  Her water is about gone.  Must refill before bed.
    I was excited to meet out new director, Hayley.  And I found out we have known each other for a long time.  Except she was a child & I was an adult.  I forgot.  She has changed a lot!!!  She knows Willie's family, lots of my neighbours, etc.  What a hoot!!!  We had a great talk. Here is her photo.

She is super cool.  I am usually not part of business discussions.  I am just the photo girl.  She asked my opinion on something they were all discussing.  Nice to be included.  I know my place but nice to be asked.
    And then someone came in to talk to my coworkers.  I know him well but he has been known to not even say hello to me.  I forced him to today.  No need for anyone to be rude,
    And then my scanner.  All afternoon I could scan one photo.  ONE.  Then turn the scanner completely off & back on.  Scan another photo.  Repeat rebooting again.  All afternoon.  I hope it blows up.  It was starting not want to turn back on.  Or forget blowing up, just die.  Period.
    It stayed cold today.  In the 50s.  It rained lightly while I worked.
    JR & I ate at Jalisco's.  Nice to see my amigos.  Food did not bother me.  Had a burger & fries & ice cream.  It was not too busy.
    It started raining lightly when I started for home.  Got home & there were the llamas in the pasture.  Too far away for a photo.
    MM is preparing everyone that he will be away for a couple of weeks to move into his new home.  I see one of his kids is here to visit.  And all his paperwork has been signed so the house is his.  Very good,  Maybe he has sensed my feelings of being left out.  Just me.  I am always left out of everything.  No groups of friends for me. No family times.  Except for one meal on thursdays.
    Lots of rain clouds on the radar.  Hope we have a chance for more real rain.  KN added some dirt to the low spot in my drive.  See what happens if we actually have rain.
    Photos today are a mix of all sorts of things.

Ceramic cross I own


The coolest April Fools joke.  Carl Aaron Swensson with his wife next to him.  Just a joke but a cool photo so I borrowed it.

This is a photo I found today of a former best friend, Denice.  Oh the fun we had!!  We bowled a lot, we ate out a lot, we smoked, & we drank beer!!!  I miss her.  But she got very ill with MS.  Married her long time boyfriend,  He knew he diagnosis,  But he loved.  She got sicker & they moved away.  She died & soon after he died.  Bless her soul. And his,
