Today's Name Day:  Lisa , Elise

I have known several Lisas mostly from school.  My great grandmother's middle name was Elise.  Love that name.      

    Today was pretty good.  Especially tonight.  Was cool overnight.  I saw 65F overnight.  Today was 71F.  Heavenly day!!!  Hope it lasts.

    My blood sugar was high again but not as high.  Then today I laid down for a nap.  My glucose senser woke me when my BS got too low.  I ate a cookie & that did not help so supper it was.  Not high tonight.  Might need to eat another carb or two.

    The house is a bit chilly so I have a little heat turned on.  How nice.  I love this weather.

    Tonight I sat outside with Daisy.  And the llamas were near.  They could hear me.  But I never got close.  Just a few photos.  Lots of Daisy photos.  If she could just slow down.  Hard to get a nice photo.

    Had rain last night.  My total was 1.79".  JR total was 1.33".  Did not rain for as long as I hoped for.

    MM was not ignoring me last night.  He was sick.  He left work & went hone, took a medication & went to bed.  Woke up with really low BS.  And was low again today.  Has an infection.  Hope they order him some medication.  I worry.

    I planned to just rest today.  I accomplished that easy.  Always too tired.  Not touched my laundry yet.  Wears me out.  May have to wash them again.  RA is no fun.  But it is my life.  Things wear me out unlike other people who just say "it is sunday".  A quien le importa.

Thunderstorm during supper

Today's Name Day:  Fredricka

I had a friend who named his dog this name.  She was adorable.

    Today was a good day.  Slept good.  A new pillow has helped.  I have 4 pillows on or near my bed,  None are comfy any more.  I saw one I hoped would do the trick.  Bought it.  Super soft & large.  I can turn it however I want,  Like it.  Hope that lasts.

    I slept late & no nap.  Got ready to go eat supper at Jalisco's with N&C.  I managed a burger & fries.  I have bought some pills to take with each meal to calm my tummy from anything unpleasant.  They taste good & seem to work,

    While eating a super cell storm broke.  Not for long but it rained hard with strong winds.  Fun to watch through the windows.  I checked when I got home.  I got  .94" of rain at home.  Miracle!!  Maybe KN can plant wheat soon.  Jalisco's got  .68"

    Nice to see our friends & chat.  We both have had health problems to stop our meeting.

    Did some texting with JL.  Supposed to meet MM but he went home & won't answer my phone calls.  He is probably upset with me.  I was quite tense last night.  Worried about going broke.  I apologized but probably did not matter.

    A quien le importa.

    Daisy did not wake up when I drove up to the house.  Took her a while.  But she had food & water.  Probably gone now.

    Street dance is next saturday.  I am not going.  No one to sit with or talk to.  Not sure what band.  No chair.  No one would care if I am there or not.  Especially now.  Better to rest.

    Washed clothes overnight.  Now to hang them up.  Not motivated.  But will get to it.

Storms clouds.

When Willie could harvest he would clean out the combines in our yard,  The turkeys loved it. Now no wheat & no turkeys.

Local band I think called the Blue Dozen.  Awesome.  Not sure.  As soon as JR printed it he found something cool in the next photo.

There is Mom, Dad, & me.  I have blonde hair, dark sweater,  & sunglasses, to my right is Mom, & Dad standing behind her by a post..

Finally rain!

Finally rain

White Peacock lunch

Today's Name Day:  Orvar

    Today went better than yesterday.  My blood sugar went up high & stayed there. UNTIL I was ready to sleep.  Then I had to eat it was so low.  Then I could not get to sleep.  I gave up on my Swedish group & slept a bit more.

    LL's morning went awful also.  She missed the Swedish group also.  We finally met at noon for lunch.  Nice lunch, nice conversation.

    Now my BS is high again.  Changing my insulin to my original orders.  Took extra with supper.  See if that helps.

    Work went good. Completed 2 entire sets.  Cool.  But no one talked.  Busy.  Then they all and others went out to eat.  Hurt.  I know I am only a volunteer but it hit me wrong.  Cried all the way home.  A variety of reasons.  Still feel tearful.  Just get tired of being alone with no one caring or calling.  Hope I feel better tomorrow. 

    Got hot again.  Saw 100F.  Ick.  Raining in part of KS.  Hope it gets here.
