12/2025 - Martes the 16th - MY JOURNEY

In Lindsborg KS

Today's Name Day: Assar

Better day than my night.. Had no sleep until around 7am. Got a couple of hours of sleep & a nice cozy nap with Cinder the entire nap time.

I got brave & checked the water in the back bathroom & all was well. So shampoo time it was. Styling was a struggle today. Usually easy to do.

Stayed below freezing until morning. Our high was 56. House is chilly.

My skin is beyond flaky. From my Sjögren's Syndrome. No amount of lotion or oil helps. And having the heat on dries out my skin also. Sjögren's dries out my entire body ---- skin, eyes, mouth, & more. Dry & itchy.

Christmas week is forecast to be super dry here & far too warm. My weatherman is so excited for 60s to 70s. Not me. Where is my winter??? One has even said after the winter solstice then winter is over. )-; Again, where is my winter???

My cousin from Denver called last night. Talked for well over an hour. She has been very ill but doing ok now. Hope that continues. I remember when Mom's one sister was dying while Mom was in the nursing home. She demanded I take her to Denver. Not possible. She was unable to dress herself or anything. She yelled at me. I felt so awful but no choice. And now I am in her position. I want to go to Denver so bad to see family but I cannot drive that far or drive in that big of a city. I cry just thinking about it. There is no one to help me. I doubt any one I know even cares how I feel.

I have new glasses to pick up & I planned on thursday. But the winds are supposed to be 50 mph or higher. I might cancel again. Not fun or safe.

I remember a couple of years ago we had winds of 100 mph. I drove home in it & a large fuel tank was rolling around my yard. It finally stopped by my car port. I got Nico to go potty & he saw that tank & ran back inside! Terrified!! Poor baby!!

Heard from JL with many family photos & cookies. Text from CW. MM wrote he is off to a basketball game tonite. Lucky him. I almost never have any where to go for fun. Sigh. Only others get fun. Nothing from anyone else. Typical.
