Today's Name Day:  Raoul, Rolf

    Had a good day.  Slept fair.  Less low blood sugar.  Lowered my insulin one unit today.  See if that helps.

    Started raining this morning.  I had an umbrella in the car.  Never got closed so when I tried to grab on to it it got stuck.  I had to walk around the car to get it but then the door would not unlock.  As I turned to walk back around my foot go caught on a branch &  almost fell.  Scared me really bad.  If the umbrella had been put away the right way it would not have happened.  Damn.

    I was late getting to work.  And stressed.

    RA ruled today.  Had a new pain never had before.  😱. Walking was a challenge.

    Made great strides on my photos.  I sent two photos to people they were taken of.  Heard from one of them.  Fun.  It used to be a "thing" that when you traveled you took a copy of the local newspaper & then took a photo of you reading it on vacation.  That is what all these photos are of.  People, places, newspapers.  It is not done anymore.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  I had shrimp again.  Very good but too many fries.  Dessert was ice cream.  I will hate when they close for winter again.  But now the drive through is open maybe they could stay open some.  Hamburgers are good & so is the ice cream.

    Jalisco's is now ready to open tomorrow.  Tables & chairs were moved in today.  I won't make it there until friday.  I am anxious!!

    Photos are flowers, winter, etc.

A piece of art I created.

A piece of beauty I have on my desk at work.

Today's Name Day:  Estelle, Stella

Friends with a Stella now.  Cool lady!!

    Had a good day.  Slept so-so.  But did not feel too tired.

    Had lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  Quiet in there today.  Good to see her & chat.   And at work too.  And fun to see my artist friend MH.

    Made great steps forward with my photos.  Today I did many baby photos.  Did not like them.  Some were ok,  Some had names.  Some did not.  Several were sweet & cute!!  Almost done with these.  Good.

    I took myself out for supper.  Nice to sit & relax. Didn't have to try to visit or anything.  I was just relaxed.

    MA & his wife did sit with me to visit about something.  I did enjoy their company.  MA does chat with me often, but tonight it was something special.

    The weather today was the absolute worst.  Not the hottest but the humidity was a killer.  Hard to breathe outside or walk.  I hate summer with every fibre of my body!

    I just called JS.  Great to see him & visit.  Wish we could see each other.  I do not want them to travel but wish I could.  Ha.ve no one to help me travel.  Those fun days are over for me.  I hate seeing photos of all these people here who have a spouse or friends & they do fun things and/or travel.  Not me.  Thank god for video calls.

    I had no idea I would live long enough that there would so few who care to help me in any way.  I have given up asking for anything.  I know who helps if I ask.  And those who make sure they never offer.  One friend offered to do something & we are not related.  A total surprise.  Don't get me started on family. 

    Day of rest tomorrow.  Will enjoy.  Photos are a couple of cigars & whiskey, flowers, & autumn.  There was a photo I saw somewhere with a cigar & whiskey.  I liked it so found some to post.

Today's Name Day:  Emma, Emmy

I have know several Emmas or Emmys

    Had a better day.  Not less pain.  I am just handling it better.  No one understands.  I always hurt.  Whether I look or act like it or admit it.  If anyone can help me in any way I am always grateful.  But most people just do not care how I feel.

    I met MM at the Öl Stuga for a half hour or so.  And to see CW, a good friend.  He owed me a hug!!!  I collected it!! He is a nice friend.  I appreciate him.  And good to see MM.  He always hugs me a lot & cares.  And offers help whenever he is able.

    Weather was unbearable.  High was low 90s.  But felt much worse.  The air was so heavy.  It was a blessing to work in the basement.

    We have a slight chance of showers tonight & tomorrow.  And a little cooler.  But heat over the weekend.

    When I was leaving the Stuga I heard someone calling my name.  It was a friend I have not seen in ages.  We had a nice visit.  I miss her friendship.  But she has many other friends that I am not part of.  

    Worked at the Old Mill.  Finished the batch of photos I was working on.  Started on the last half of this bunch.  These are worse then the first half.  Sheesh.

    I posted the photo of men all with the same first name.  One man was unknown.  Put it on Lindsborg Nostalgia.  Got a name almost right away.  Turned out not to be a local man.  He worked at a radio station.  Many knew him though.  Fun photo.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  MA had photos of a local guy who went on vacation to Mexico & got to visit someone who used to work at Jalisco's but is now home there.  What fun photos to see!!

    MM is back to working some.  I am glad for him.  He has 2 really good & supportive friends he works with.  I am grateful to them for all their help & support.

    Going anywhere is now a struggle.  Cannot get to Assaria.  A bridge is out over the interstate.  Replacing it won't be done until november.  Driving to Lindsborg is closed for 10 days.  Had to take back roads.  Trying to go from Lindsborg to McPherson that highway is closed for 10 days also.  Only way to get here is interstate.  Sheesh.  What a pain.

    My glucose sensor ended this afternoon.  After supper I added a new one at home.  Hope my new supply gets here soon.

    Tomorrow is lunch out with 3 friends.  If we have rain tonight what back road will not be too muddy drive on.  Sheesh.  Maybe forget lunch.  Have my eye dr appt.  I can get there on paved roads.

    Photos are a mix.  Nothing special.

What a sweet photo of my baby
