01/2026 - Lördag den 24tÖe- MY JOURNEY

 


Sweet photo!!!  I was cozy, warm, slept well, & dreamed.


Today's Name Day:  Erika
Know of several Erikas.  Love the name.

    Had a good night.  Woke up to around 5" of snow on the ground.  Some wind & more falling snow.  The temp got down to -2F.  Right now it is 4.4F.  And snowing again.
    Had sad news last night.  A classmate passed away.  He has been ill for a long time so no surprise but he will be truly missed.  What a great guy!!!  He &  I were born 3 days apart.  Him on the 2nd & me on the 5th.  Mom told me that the one nurse would hold us at the same time.  Known him forever.  Since birth!
    Had an email or two from JL.  They have no snow, of course.  But she is hoping for some rain.  I have a relative in Wichita Falls OK &  JS lives near Little Rock AR.  Both are blessed with ice.  Glad that is not here.  I sent a long text to JS.  He did not read or answer or call.  Sad.
    MM sent a photo as did another friend.  I stole hers to use.  Nothing from CF or LL.  Long video from AN of getting chains on their 4 wheeler.  I should ask if my drive will be bladed.  If not I am home all day tomorrow.  My car does ok until the end of the drive.  It is uphill & I can get stuck especially if there is traffic.  And my neighbours go by all the time.
    I did take some photos.  Plus I needed new kitty litter.  I threw out an empty box & carried a new one in.  I am ordering the same litter but a smaller box.  Easier for me to carry.  So they have new litter today.  I have 2 litter boxes for them to use.  One is used more than the other.  No idea why.
    Saw animal foot prints & bird ones also.  Hard to get a good photo.  I have trouble seeing where the camera is aimed.  Snow is too bright.  I did ok though  had two that were awful.  Trashed them.
    I got my bed fixed last night.  Moved a blanket out by the washer.  Folded my weighted blanket on the end of the bed.  I slept with my feet under it all night.  Warm & cozy.  Slept good except having to eat twice.
    Cinder was a weird today.  She just had to lay on my chest before supper.  After lunch she acted like she was hungry.  Put out food.  Not been touched by anyone yet.  I refuse to throw it out.  Too expensive.  She bugged me while I was eating supper.  She is finally asleep.  Finally..
    No appetite for supper.  The video of a murder in northern US upset me too much.  No more news for me.  I am still upset.
    I noticed cattle at our pond looking for water.  I called KN to double check he has water at home & that they were ok.  He said my drive would be cleared tomorrow so maybe I can go eat tomorrow night.  If I feel brave.  Here is a photo of our cattle being fed &  in the snow.  Poor babies!!!

    Photos are mine from today & some drawings.  And my usual AI photo.

Cat or kitty tracks.  I know there are 2 cats that live around here.  But no idea if there is a kitten.  Or could these be from a raccoon or skunk.

Friend here on Main Street.  I stole it!!!

01/2026 - Fredag den 23:e - MY JOURNEY

 



I saved a snippet from a video in Sweden.  I did not translate so I am clueless what is going on but it looks fun.  In the part of Sweden where I visited, have relatives there, & the have a ski area.



Today's Name Day:  Frej,  Freja

    I had a bad night.  My blood sugar was low all night.  I got no sleep.  Glad I had decided to not go to work today because of how cold it got.  I felt like they thought I was being stupid.  But living alone with no one here waiting for me scares me.  If I had car trouble or wrecked I could sit there & die.  No one cares.  And those I could tell are too busy & would forget about me not texting them.
    MM was going to bring me food this morning but his youngest son is here today.  So he did not make it.  Sorion is more important than me always.  Good to see them both smiling.
    When I got up around 10am it was 9F with snow.  I tried to get a nice snow video but while it was nice but too long.  I gave up.  Then the temp dropped to 3F.  Kind of stayed there all day.  Less wind for a while but has stayed around 30mph.  Glad I have water dripping in 2 places.  So far so good.  Going to cost me a fortune.  And I already  owe them a fortune.
    I took a short nap.  I planned to add my weighted blanket to my bed but the cats were in the way.  Do it later,
    Just outside.  Thrilled to see the cows have been turned loose & are here where I can see them. Always miss them in the summer.  Got 3 photos before I froze!!!  Llamas will be here in a few days.  Coco & Larry.  Miss them.
    Supper time but nothing sounds good.  I have one TV meal that I like the pasta but not the beef in it.  Can pick out the beef.  Or maybe soup.   I don't know.
    Photos are some of library nooks, snow, & home.  Wish I had a nice reading nook.  In my house that burned down I had such an area.  Long gone.
    Just saw lights in my pasture.  It is KN driving Willie's old truck checking on our cattle.  I can guarantee that Willie is there too!!!  I have tears now.  Sad & a long, lonely week.




First three photos are here at home.
























AI winter me.
