08/2025 - Lunes the 4th - JOURNEY

My baby.  Missing him.

Today's Name Day:  Arne, Arnold

Known several men with these names.

    Today was a day of being depressed & resting.  Not up to anything else.

    A bit warmer today but cool last night & will be again tonite.  Then the heat returns until the weekend.  Then cooler & chance of rain.  

    Kisse followed me to take my nap.  Cinder never showed up.  Slept in the living room.  Missed her.

    Have a hair appt this week.  Should have washed my hair today but no energy.  I have learned to listen to my body no matter what people think

    Rain in the state but nothing near my farm.  As usual.

    Today we had 2 earthquakes of numbers 3 & 4.  What is going on?? Here is #4.

I never feel them even though are near where I live.

    My  way to Lindsborg is still closed.  Now they closed another part of my paved road but this one on the way to Salina.  Lordy, only close one at a time!!!  Trapped at home!!! 

    Watching Rachel Maddow.  She is one of the best but has NO good news.  No comment.  Curious?  Look her up.  And cry.

    Nice to have a day off.  Work many days this week.  Will miss LL as she visits grandkids.  Hope she has a a great visit.

    My Swedish group is having a field trip on friday but I am not going.  Would mess with my insulin & lunch & then working at 1pm.  Dang.  );

    Photos are a mix of stuff.

Glad the days are getting shorter.  Closer to Sweater Weather.  😃

Love Canada.  Would be great to live in a wonderful, caring country as Canada.

Today's Name Day:  Aron, Mirjam

I had a step grandson with my son's second temporary wife named, Aaron.  No clue where he is now.  Or her.  And I don't care.  Bad time in my life.

    Another quiet day.  I ended up cancelling almost everything.  Will cancelle tomorrow also.  Will do nothing until saturday.  Feeling too sick to care.  Pain, blood sugar problems, super depressed.  Just plain tired of it all.

    Had an eye dr. appointment for thursday that was going to stop me from eating with my thursday group.  Called my dr.  They found me a better appointment.  We are lunching at the Öl Stuga.  Will not miss that. Hopefully I will feel ok.  And it is MM's first day back to work.  So happy they gave him a week off.  

    I took a nap this afternoon after little sleep last night.  JR needed help so he called when I needed to be at his house.  From there I called MM to see if he still needed me to take him grocery shopping. He did and got me a couple of things.  Including potato sallad and donuts.  😋

    MM bought us some raspberry salted licorice to try.  Swedes love salted licorice.  Well.  We are now positive we are not Swedish enough to like it.  😝

    Weather was ok today.  Saw 91F today.  No strong winds.  No rain.

    Photos are a mix.  A few I played with AI to create.  Just a time killer.

I colored this graphic.  I should do this again.  Fun app.

Only took 3 tries to get the Swedish flag like I wanted.

Found a cute way to control my cords.  Love it!

Dalahäst at the collelge.  See sports images on him --- football, soccer, basketball, socks.

Today's Name Day:  Solbritt, Solveig

    Today was cancelled because I felt so bad on tuesday.  I felt ok until mid afternoon.  Then it was a fight to keep my blood sugar normal.  And I failed.  But felt sort of ok.

    Tomorrow is cancelled also. No biggie.  Will hopefully work on friday if I can carry in enough treats to keep my sugars up.  There is always something.  I am truly tired of being sick & tired.  Makes my cry.

    A little warmer today.  No rain here.  Lots & lots of flooding in Wichita & El Dorado.  The river near El Dorado got tons of rain.  They cannot open the flood gates on the dam due to so much rain further down the river.  But if the water is going to go over the dam, they will have no choice.  Wichita is still a mess.  They get their water from Cheney Lake.  It has been 8 feet below  normal. With all the rain they are now at 5 feet below .  Amazing.  They are rationing water in Wichita so not enough to stop that yet.

    Today is Kisse's 12th birthday.  Cannot believe she is so old!!  Still perky!!  I remember her mom & 2 siblings.  Something killed them all.  Kisse was to clever for whatever was hunting them.  I am glad she is a house cat.  She would have died years ago if I had left her outside.  She never acts like she misses going out.  Cinder does once in a while but I just cannot let her out.  I cannot live without her.  Happy Birthday Kisse!!

    Very little communication for me today..  Kind of given up.  One grandson is too busy with his other family.  They are so important.  No like me.  MM is still sick.  Life is not good for him now.  He knows I will do what I can for them.

    Every day is about taking care of me.  Cannot worry about anyone else.  Or anything else.  Sometimes being selfish is the only way to survive.  Most everyone ignores how I feel or what I go through.  I expect nothing.  That just causes disappointment.

    Kisse is missing at the moment. Cinder is sleeping on her favorite perch & occasionally looking outside.

    Photos are a mix of things.

Photos of a walk around on Marstrand.  One of my fave places even though it ruined a friendship with someone I really liked.  He did not like me being there & made no effort to help me get to the airport.  Brought me there hours early & there I sat alone.

    

05/2025 Torsdag the 22nd - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

Today's Name Day:  Hemming, Henning

    Not a good day.  CF left at noon for Minnesota.  Using an uber driver.  I am beyond sad.  Feel like I will not ever see him again.

    I felt sick all night but my diabetes was ok.  Odd.  I cancelled today.  Felt I should not drive or go out until I feel normal.  Or more normal.  I should not be on FB.  I care about nothing today.  I know I have people who do care but today I do not feel it.  Not cancelling tomorrow yet.  Depends on the weather.  Severe storms possible.

    Photos are things that make me feel good.

On the way

First day at Snow Cone.  Huge crowd.

My heart is here.
