6/2026 - Thursday the 25th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  David , Salomon

I have known many Davids.  Cousins.  Classmates.  Neighbours.  Friend's prom date.  Friends.

    Today could have been better.  I got little to no sleep last night.  Too stressed.  Too much anxiety.  Long story.  Will keep private.  Had a little sleep in the morning.

    Still having flu symptoms.  Not major but not good either.  With diabetes your doc will tell you no matter what you always take your insulin.  But once I take it I have to try to eat something.  Got sick after lunch.

    Made it to town to pick up groceries for Cinder & I.  And later in the mail cat food came.  All cats will be happy.

    I tried to nap this afternoon but could not fall asleep.  I got up & wrote up about the photo of my class reunion with photos & names.  They came up with a second photo with a few of us.  I had already posted the first one so I did a second post to get 2 extra guys' photos,  Poor planning on my part.  But both have been looked at so I guess it is ok.

    FIFA watched Sweden & Netherlands.  Tied.  Sweden was already through no matter what.  I am still in love with Norway,

    My iPhone got super hot when I was charging it.  Why??  Took forever to cool off.  Charging with a  portable charger.  Staying cool.

    I sat outside with Daisy May.  What a doll!!  She curled up on my lap & purred.  She licked my hands & kneaded my arms & legs.  JS says when his cats are kneading him they are not kneading biscuits, they are kneading tacos!!  Cute.  I stayed out for a long time.  Very nice.  We both loved it!!  Wish I could bring her in.  I had on 2 mosquito patches to repel them.  No flies bothered me either.  Odd.

    I just paid attention to the 4 people who talk between FIFA games.  Kind of ignored them.  One is the soccer person I cannot stand no matter what.  He is awful.  I remember when our national team was starting out many years ago.  They were awful & he was an announcer or coach for them.  They have improved.  He has not.  And I wish he would be quiet.

    Feeling not good after supper.  Might not work tomorrow.  Just rest.

    Our high today was around 65F.  Awesome.  Actually 72F now.  House feels good.  This weekend is to be miserably hot.  Usch.

    Heavy rain & flooding still forecast for tomorrow.  Had a third of an inch so far today.

This is the best video I have ever seen.  Jimmy Fallon & Steven Tyler singing & dancing to "Walk This Way".  Wow!!!!

Cute.

Wildflowers in my driveway.

My class.  I am in the front row to the right.

                                                                         

                 

03/2026 - Torsdagen den 12:e - MY JOURNEY

I love what this says.  I know this to be true.  At my cousin's house I took photos of one of the bushes there & a cool table on the porch.  Her kids were clueless.  Never seen them.  And they walked by them weekly.  Carry a camera or your iPhone & you will see lots of things others miss.

Today's Name Day:  Victoria

I have known a Vickie or two.  The only Victoria I know of is the Crown Princess of Sweden.  She becomes queen after her father steps down.  She will be a good queen.

    

    I have had better days.  I felt good yesterday but last evening I started feeling bad.  And it got worse.  I had increased pain & lots of anxiety.  No idea about the anxiety.  And little sleep.  But I got a phone call today that caused me some anxiety.  Maybe I knew inside it was coming.  Nothing awful just changes in family life.

    Cinder must have sensed I felt ill.  She stayed with me all night.  Usually she snuggles to my chest but last night she was next to my legs.

    I cancelled today.  Just did not have it in me especially with pain & no sleep.

    I started a medication & I think it might be working.  Yesterday I had less pain.  And walking the basement steps were a bit easier.  And my feet are still swollen & feel better. I have hope.  I have taken it 5 times.  I feel better after it then that fades.  Hopefully that fading with stop.

    I was going to carry some trash bags outside but our winds have been up to 50mph.  I needed to feed the feral cats & get me a diet coke.  I could barely walk just on the porch.  Yikes!!!  Scary.  No way I could walk out to the trash bins.  Need to have one moved up to my car port.  The trash guys can move it back out to empty.  I have to go back out to gather mail that has come.  What fun!!!

    We still have no CBS here.  Idiots.  Fighting with the who they are in business with.  JR found me an app that streams what is on CBS.  It was a mess to get it running but is great.  Got caught up on my soap operas.  And Colbert.  It is on my iphone & my laptop.  Cool!!!  Then I switched to the live news but too depressing.  Switched to soccer from Europe.  I might use it for that a lot.  I saw 2 matches.  Fun!!!  They were Madrid & Portugal.

    I got my spanish lessons done just now.  One of the sentences they had said "I don't like my president!"  What a surprise!!  They have used a combination of 3 words that can say either I like or I don't like.  Easy.  MA & I talked about it last night.  I learn things that many Mexicans don't use.  He had other ways to say those.

01/2026 - Tisdag the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 

My yard years ago in snow.  Still dreaming.

Today's Name Day:  Knut

I have known a Knut or two. But mostly today is King Knut's Day in Sweden.

I  always left my Christmas Tree & decorations up until January 13.  Notice many trees being thrown out & outside decarations taken down long before today.  Where are the Swedish customs???

    Today was ok.  I woke up with a bad anxiety attack.  Why??  I managed a short nap after lunch.

    Went to Lindsborg long before my SVHA board meeting tonight..  I had meds to pick up that were not ready.  Sweet girl said they had tons of insurance trouble & she was behind.  She said if I came back in 10 minutes they would  be ready.  I parked around they corner & gave her 12 minutes.  Then they were ready.

    After meds I went to Jalisco's for supper.  I wanted to see MA.  He is going to miss a few days at work so I saw him & will see him tomorrow also.

    Today was my historical group board meeting.  Plus we celebrated LL being on our board for 25 years.  They had nice treats & took photos.  Then we had a program.  It was interesting.

    My spanish lesson went easier than I expected so I have time to do my blog.  Good.

    I usually feel totally alone at our meetings but not tonight.  Two other members actually sat next to me at a table.  Then a guy I know sat down & we had a nice visit.  Plus an artist & her husband sat at the table also.  Nice for a change.  I have decided that I will just sit where I want & if that is just me, so be it.

    I bought a new iphone & it is here.  Ahead of schedule.  Going to pick it up tomorrow morning.  I can eat a burger in the car & go to work.  Hopefully not too late.  But there is bad weather coming & I did not want to wait until next week to get my phone.  Plus I am working extra.

    I actually did my photos this morning so I am ready.  Love all the cats!!

AI me at a Christmas market in Europe.  I wish!!!
