5/2026 - Thursday 7th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Carita , Carina

I do not know these names.  Had one ancestor called Aunt Carrie.  Close as I get.

    Today was actually great!!  What a surprise.  I knew part of it would be but it ended even better.

    Night was awful.  I could not keep my eyes open so missed Colbert.  Fell asleep right away.  Woke up later freezing to death!!  I pulled up my weighted blanket.  I finally warmed up & then I was too warm.  Blanket off.

    My blood sugar was constantly low all night.  And I had even took less insulin.  I do not understand.  I wonder if the med I take for my neuropathy is changing things inside me.  Who knows???

    I met a newer friend for coffee at the White Peacock.  She is in charge of a building in town.  Plus she is on the SVAFC board.  When she is supposed to work & cannot then she calls me.  I love those calls from several people,  A fun coffee!  She has had the most interesting life.  I love hearing about it.  We plan on meeting again.  Very nice.

    I called MM to see if he was at work.  He was so I went to the Sale Barn.  We sat outside for a while but then I moved inside when he got busy.  I decided to have supper there.  Better than me cooking,  Had a burger with egg & cheese & fries.  

    A guy who works there is also a professional singer.  And works hard at that.  He even said I looked prettier than when we first met.  MM said I am Grandma so he renamed me  Grandma Hottie!!!  What a fun guy!  Nice to laugh!.  And truly sweet guy.  I warned him he was making my blog tonight!!!  So here he is!!!

    On they way home I stopped to see Willie.  His flowers looked so bad.   I had 2 last bouquets in the trunk of the car so his grave looks better now.  Someone planted daisies behind his grave & they looked awesome.  Took lots of photos,  Said hello to MM's father & my best friend John,  Cemetery looks good.  I have lots of new flowers that have come.  Ready to make graves look good.  A couple of graves have peonies on them.  Took more photos.

    Got home and a very lazy mail man drove up in my yard.  He was no where near my car port or porch.  Or even my trash bins.  He tossed a box on the ground and went on his merry way.  Need to complain. Found 2 packages in the ditch behind my mail box.  One was totally ruined.  The other one was ok.

    Although a great day, got sad news at noon.  A local man I really liked & respected passed away today.  So sad.  Peace & hugs to his family.

    Still no baby cats.  Starting to worry again.  They have to be starving.  I keep calling,  Only get a possum & a racoon.  Dang.
