7/2026 - Friday the 31st- MY JOURNEY


Olive Garden



Today's Name Day; Elin , Helena
Had a cousin named Ellen Jewel.  She was a model at one time.  Knew several Helens.  I think Tiger Wood's wife was Elin,  Love that name.



    Today was a good day but busy.  And it kept me awake a lot last night.  Really stressed.
    I was up a bit early.  Got busy with feeding all my cats, scooping poo, dressing me.
    First stop was one bank in LBK.  I had money to move to a Salina bank.  Then picked up JR.  And off to Salina.
    Went to a bank in Salina.  Across the street was JR's cellphone company.  They were a mess with his phone.  Threatened to end his phone.  Said my credit card was not working.  Only one I have.  It does work all the time.  Two places had trouble getting it to work & then it did.  Go figure.  I do not like where he gets his phone.  But they got him straighened out.  Hope all is ok now.  I did not go to work.  I made JR the problem needing a ride to Salina!!  😀 To go across the street I had to drive several blocks.
    There was a girl sitting & waiting for her phone.  I have learned not to judge anyone,  She was a bit overweight.  Turned out she was so nice!  And we knew someone she is related to on FB.  Great conversation!  Glad to have met her.  Made the time speed by.
    Next we had supper.  JR never has an opinion.  But he knew I liked Olive Garden & we had not been there for a long time.  I love their salmon.  Awesome..  Must go back soon.
    Then took JR home then me.   Daisy now knows my car.  She heard me & was sitting on my bench waiting for me.  
    Came in  & did my Spanish & now my blog.  Ready to lay in bed & rest.  Heard from MM early today.  No body else.

My fave Swedish meal.  You can get it in one local place.  Not as good as in Sweden.  Close though.

7/2026 - Thursday the 30th- MY JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Algot
I remember this name.  I am sure there was an Algot or two in town but you do not hear it now.


    Today was not the best day.  I got no sleep so I missed lunch today with friends.  Supposed to get JR at 2pm but cancelled..  My stupid stomach got sickly.  Decided I dared not drive anywhere.  We will get him tomorrow after work.  Then eat out somewhere.  I had a nice nap.
    While napping JS called for a video call.  He truly cares for me.  He calls often just to make sure I am doing ok.  Nice to have a couple of people who do care about me.  He & MM are the best.
    Had some drizzle earlier today.  And it stayed cloudy so we never got hot.  Stayed in the mid 80s.  And a nice strong breeze.  So I fed Daisy & sat outside with her for a long time.  I feel guilty ignoring her.  This morning when I went to feed her lunch she got in the house.  I mean clear in!!!  She & Cinder rubbed noses!!!  No one died.  I tried to grab her but my hands were full!!!  She usually minds if I yell NO.  Not today.  She was determinded to get in.  Glad all are ok!!!  Whew!
    It was nice sitting outside.  And Daisy on my lap loving & purring.  I know that she loves me.  What a sweetie!!!
    Rest of the day was quiet.  I need to try to eat better at home.  Now more rain forecast.  So they say.  Rain in SW Kansas now.
