Want one now!

Today's Name Day:  Jakob

I had several more recent ancestors that were named Jakob.  All had the last name of Train.  All related.  An old swedish first name.  Never hear it now.  Maybe in Scandinvia.  My Train family used to be important.  They had a furniture store, radio repair shop, horse drawn carriage, repair shop, & funeral home.  One version of the funeral home was the second floor of the furniture store.  A block away was another location where they prepared the body but no service.  Then they moved to a large home of all their services.  That remains today. Beautiful.  There was also a large building just across the alley of their big business bulding.  For some reason it was torn down.

    Today just another day at home alone.  I had a long email today from JL.  She had lots of good news.  Nice to hear.  Glad for her.

    A miserable weather day here.  Right now it is 102F or 38.8C.  The humidity is 42%.  And no breeze.  I cannot breathe outside.  Painful.  My house has not gotten very cool today.  Probably need to have it checked.  Poor Daisy has to stay outside.  Wish I could bring her in.  I make sure she has fresh water.

    The next 2 days are replays of today.  I want to go to a program at the SVAFC on sunday, but do I really want to get out in this heat???

    Had photos from CF.  That cool Minnesota water looks inviting.  He is fishing on his days off.  I think he does not work on fridays or saturdays.

    TV is ok.  Watching Josh Gates.  He was in a haunted mental hospital.  Original it was like a huge town like arrangement.  Lots of kids/people were tortured & died with medical procedures.  Has a cemetery of 7000 graves.  Now he is in Mexico.  I love his shows.  Always learn something,  Better than all the murder & maim shows on the "real" networks.  I refuse to watch any of those.

    The kids slept near me all last night.  Babysitters!!!  😁

    I tried to nap & did a little --- heat & all.

    A good friend sent me photos.  He is now in Italy.  What fun.  I would just like to go to some nearby towns to take photos.  Of course there is no one who can or will  drive anywhere.  Of course not.  That would be asking far too much.  I might to enjoy life a bit.

    I have had terrible trouble getting my internet to work on my iPhone or laptop.  A while ago when my laptop updated there was one file I needed to use a password for it to sign in.  But I could not remember & just ignored it for a while.  Well in an email about my iPhone & etc.  They showed one how to change that password an easy way.  Really easy.  And like magic. Everything works perfect.  Well who knew.  It updated everything I own & all is great.  What a joy!!

    I got brave & checked my blood sugar. today  Almost normal.  Yay. Knee is much better today.  Walking without much weakness.  Guess I will survive.  And making sure I take my med for depression. Should help too.  Won't supply me with a support group or friends but maybe I can get where I don't give a damn.

Damn miserble weather

Wish I had someone to go to coffee with.

I took this photo.  It is a musk that grows in the ditches along roads.  Not the harmful illegal musk.

Family

I want this weather NOW.

Today's Name Day;  Kristina , Kerstin

I had cousins with these names.  Love them both.  especially how Kerstin is pronounced.

    Today was a so-so day.  Or in Spanish más o menos.  Slept ok.  Stress is over whelming.  As is depression.

    Had on odd morning.  My phone rang at 9am.  The hospital.  But  I was not with my phone.  No message left so I called them back,  I finally talked to a nurse & she knew what it could be & who.  There is a test Dr. Baxa wanted on bone density or something like that.  The nurse got me to who did that test.  I told her my name & being a patient of Dr. Baxa.  She heard my name & hung up.  I called back to leave her my phone number.  Now for the rest of the day everytime I got a text I checked.  Not helping my stress.  Someone could have explained why no one wanted to talk to me.  Either the schedule it or they don't.  Will call next week again.

    Warmer today.  In the 90s.  Had a brief shower early morning.  Now there is no chance for rain for a week & a half.  But really humid here today.  And a few days of extremely hot.  

    I planned to eat supper out but woke up from my nap sick to my stomach.  Probably what I ate for lunch.

    Had an email from JL & a photo or two from MM.  And saw a good friend is flying to Denver.  I can only dream.  Wish there was a local uber driver who could take me to Wichita.. HA.

    I rarely  watch CH 12 but mostly CH 10.  I really like their weather man.  But today is his last day.  Moving back to Austin, Texas.  I will miss him.  Wish him luck.  Going to be in charge of a station there & their entire weather department.

    That my day.  Nothing fun.  No caring.  Sigh.

Me as a baby.  When I was happy.

4 generation photo. If only my grandma Mimi had lived.  Would have made a difference to have someone support me.

I think it was either a photo taken at Easter or my 6th grade graduation.  I remember that the dress was green checks with lace.  I do not look happy.  Childhood was difficult for me.  All family locally had nothing to do iwth me.  I could not please my parents.  Will stop there.

Me & Daisy

Today's Name Day:  Carola , Karolina

There is an awesome singer in Sweden named Carola.  I love her singing.  Had a relative named Carolina.

    Today was a good day.  I slept very good.  I made changes in my bedroom & my cats did not like it.  New sheet & new blankets.  And I dared to pile things on their sleeping areas!!!  But they are over it today.  Picky cats.  I had time to cuddle my outside baby.  Decided to name her Daisy.

    Work was fun.  There is a page that comes up with the scanner.  It kept loading with photos I scanned.  Did not want that.  I had tried to delete the scans but they always came back. LL selected all of the pictures & "cut" them all instead of deleting.  That made a difference.  Then she scanned a photo that showed up on the scanner page.  She "cut" it & copied it.  And added to the page I needed it on.  And it worked fine.  Fast work.  Have to learn to slow down.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  JS had told me to try adding an egg to rice there.  So I had carnitas, rice, & an egg,  Best meal ever!  In fact just the rice & egg is great.  Can try that.  No more. cola  Switched to ice water with 3 slices of lemon.  Perfect.

    When I drove home the clouds in the west looked like rain clouds.  

stormy ones.  But JR said no rain until 3am.  He was wrong.  Started raining here about an hour ago.  No wind or warnings, just rain.  Hope it dumps here.

    I noticed on the way home the wheat is really turning.  Not good.  Too early.

    Tomorrow had lunch planned with my usual thursday group.  And I had an appointment to get my car worked on afterwards.  Had to cancel lunch as my car appointment got changed.  Be an easier day.

    Saw a friend at Dollar General.  I never get to see him.  He works every saturday in a very fancy place in Assaria.  So I asked if he could find me table off by itself.  I do not know anyone who eats there.  Or if I do they are with a group.  He said he would find me a table & take care of me.  Works for me.  Starve all day & have steak!!!

    Hurting a bit tonight due to the changing weather.  But nothing as bad as all last weekend.  Yet.

    Have not decorated graves.  Poor planning on my part.  Will try for sunday.

    Been dealing with a crisis on Lindsborg Now.  Cannot have that.  Someone is upset & scared.  Banned some one & told the friend of the other one if continues to call the police. Done blogging.  Tired.  Flower photos are from the Methodist Church today.

    If I reblogged anything I am sorry.  Tired & hard to think.
