08/2025 - Domingo the 31st - JOURNEY

 

Glad August is over.



Today's Name Day:  Arvid, Vidar
I remember a funeral director years ago named Arvid.


    Had a good day.  Felt ok.  Good to be around people.  Slept good.  Rained.  Lindborg got almost an inch & a half.  I got .38".  Always get nothing compared to others around here.
    I made it to work at the SVAFC.  The daughter of our artist gave a talk about her father & his art.  She did great.  She even remembered my name.  Had a good size audience.  Then there were snacks in the back room.  I never went back there.  My blood sugar was too high so did not need to eat.  I sat alone with my thoughts.  Several women friends did come visit for a bit.  People I rarely see.  Nice.
    After everyone had left there was my boss, the artist's daughter & another friend.  My boss got a bottle of white wine so I had a glass of wine with her.  It tasted good.  I really do not have friends that we just go out for a cocktail or two & conversation.  I really enjoyed that time.  Very nice.
    Then JR & I had supper at Pizza Hut.  I had my sallad.  Very good.  Then went for ice cream for dessert.
    I got to meet the lady who worked for me yesterday.  She is super nice.  Glad we are friends.
    I am glad for two days off.  Will help me to feel better.
    Photos are a mix.

Today's Name Day:  Albert, Albertina
Known people by both these names.

    No blog again today.  Just not up to it.  I am some better but not totally ok.  Not posting about it.  If you know you know.  Most people don't care.
    Cool weather with sprinkles.  Good sleep weather.  Rested most of the day.  Spanish lessons going well.
    Had an email from a friend & MM has sent me many texts today.  He is at a funeral.  Sort of ignored by most others.
    Photos are collages.  Some local, some not.

Today's Name Day:  Hampus, Hans
Have a friend now in Sweden name Hans.  I have met him.  Cool.  Grew up with a guy named Hans Peter.

    My day started very good, but ended really bad.  I am not up to writing a blog tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.  I am sort of ok but not up to par.
    Nice weather.  Slept ok.  All was well until lunch was over.  Disappointed I could not go to Jalisco's.  Next week.
    Have a great evening & tomorrow.  Photos are a mix.  One app made some collages from my photos & I have used those.
