12/2025 - Domingo the 21st - MY JOURNEY






Today's Name Day:  Tomas
I have known several Thomases both here & in Sweden.  Friends with a Swedish one or two now.  And KN 's uncle is Tom.

    Had a good day.  Slept good last night.  Nice for a change.  Cinder layed on or near me for most of the night.  Love that.  Kisse came for some attention several times.
    Sort of chilly over night but warm today.  I want my winter.  But I rarely get what I want.  Maybe in january.  I hope.
    Got in a very short nap then I was up getting ready for supper.  Met NSP & CG at Pizza Hut.  I did not overeat so felt ok.  We never were quiet for a minute.  Great fun.      
    And surprised to find out NSP' s childhood was a little or a lot like mine.  Two of my aunt's talked to me as an adult & they were aware of how my life was but none of them made an effort to help me.  Or they tried & it did not go well.  I never asked.  My Denver relatives were the only ones who treated me as family & made me feel loved.  Sure miss them.
    We had a new waiter tonight.  He had a great sense of humor.  He even teased me a couple of times & even jokingly flirted once.  Nice to have a little attention.  Missing some friends who are too busy to see me.  Hope the new waiter stays for a while.  I liked him.
    I thought I ate enough but my glucose just dropped to 69.  Had a cookie.  And a cheese cracker with peanut butter.  Yummy!
    Kids have been quiet since I got home.  Had an email from JL.  Text from MM last night.  Quiet.  I am ready for the holidays to be over.  I cried on the way to town this afternoon.  Wanting what I cannot have, tired of watching almost everyone making plans.  But I do know several who are as alone as I am.  Sad times.  Have Mom & Willie & Nico on my mind.
    Photos are the usual.

Art shared at my Swedish group years ago.








These hang on Main Street in the winter time..  All are handmade.





 
These are somewhere in Lindsborg Ks..  See if I can find them this year.

My mom took a class & made this about her life & family..  The Old Mill might have it now have to check.


Love this one!!

So lovely!!





AI me again.  Playing.

12/2025 - Sábado the 20th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Israel

    Day is going well..  And last night was a good one.  Kisse kept sleeping next to me.  Once for over an hour.  Nice.  She is not always a cuddler.  Cinder prefers sleeping on my DVR.  It is a bit warm.  It stayed warm overnight but I felt chilly
    I notice the cats are not eating like usual overnight.  I think the warm weather is messing with them.  Stupid weather.  It is winter not spring.  Stupid weatherman is thrilled.  I want normal weather.  It is 52F here now.
    Still windy but not severe.  No more fires & evacuations.  Good!!!  And no road closings due to dust.  Snow in Colorado & the mountains.  They need it for skiing.  How I long to be in the Rocky Mountains.
    For lunch today my dessert was a flan cup.  Excellent.  Tastes much like the flan at Jalisco's.  Really good.  Plus JR bought me a package of Stubb's Sticky Sweet BBQ Cheese Curls.  Very good.
    Got an email from JL.  Nothing from anyone else.  Another day of resting alone.
    My friend LL was gone yesterday at a family funeral.  Her father's cousin.  She went to see family thinking it might be the last time they all see each other.  I have lots of family around here but none of them speak to me any more.  My favorite one no longer has anything to do with me.  Thanks to my daughter.  Shame at her for delibertly hurting me.  I am used to it.  She & my son tried to steal the farm from me.  Glad I did right by the farm & Willie.  Those 2 would have run the farm to the being bankrupt in short time.
    JR & I are in a search of what restaurant is open on Christmas Eve.  Found one place so far.  Not meeting at his office this holiday.
    I laid down for a short time but no sleep.  Got back up.  Too many memories.  Cannot turn my mind off.
    Before laying down I checked my BS.  Scary high.  The Flan???  Will try it when I am really low & see what happens.  Dang.  I like it.  And the chips might be upsetting my stomach also.  There is always something.  Never anything good.
    Photos are the same as usual for this time of year.


My bulls yesterday.  Hiding near some trees next to my driveway,

Stack of Swedish pancakes.  Yummy!














My fave star from my childhood.  Annette.

Gift from José when he lived back here.  How I miss him,  But he has a new life that does not include me too often.  Just a little bit.



Sunset a couple of days ago someone shared,






Sweet.
