8/2026 - Wednesday the 19th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Måns , Magnus

I have known a Magnus since he was a child.  His grandmother would bring him to my Swedish Friendship group.  Now he is an adult married man.  Super nice.

    Today was an ok day.  Good night of sleep.  Less pain.  Always nice.  I had a spell of low blood sugar at the end of work & nothing to eat in my purse.  I never let that happen , but it did today.  I survived.  LL helped.  At supper treated myself to Mexican soda.  Too good for words.

    Finished one set of photos,  And started a new one.  Even found some photos with names & writing on them.  Always fun to share & see if anyone knows anything.

    There was rain in town this morning.  Nary a drop in my yard,  As usual,  We are officially in the drought area of Kansas,  Sad.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  My usual friends were off today.  Glad MA was working today.  He always talks when he has time.

    I noticed our one business in town selling used stuff was packed with people.  And so was our swimming pool,  It closes this sunday.  No more fun!!

    Did not sit out with Daisy today.  Will have time tomorrow.

    Need groceries tomorrow.  My next job.

Too die for!!!!

Friends at Jalisco's always take liberty with my bill!!!

The Plague, Day 156.....

Had a good day with nice weather. They kept saying it was going to start raining but never saw a drop. Still saying a chance tonight and tomorrow. Ha.

Saw my therapist today. It was a good meeting. Nothing too serious. Talked about my surgery and my having more activity and how if makes me feel better. She encourages me to go more. Just drive somewhere. But once the loss of motivation that sets in, I just do nothing. And doing so many things alone hurts. I miss having a group of gals to hang with. Years ago I did. I love going with my brother but I bet he gets tired of me and my moods! No wonder no one likes me.

I met ND and DD at the Blacksmith Shop for coffee. AND a chocolate chip cookie. I never go there. Its that fear of the unknown. But now that I have been there I can go back even alone. I now like both coffee shops in town. Hope they both never close. It was pretty quiet in there so nice to talk.

JR and I  had supper at Jalisco's. I usually try to go whenever JS works. He lets me know when works. I do not get to see him too often. I should ask if we could plan a meal or coffee sometime together. I want our friendship to grow not end.

Kisse has not eaten much for days. I wonder if her system got all wonky with Nico being gone. She begs for her food but then does not eat it. I know she had to be  eating dry food but I never saw it. I never offered her the moist food for several days. Today I gave her half a serving. And she ate it. And begged for more. And for some reason she is friendlier to me even if Nico is near.

In Utah near Moab and Canyonlands we stayed at the Red Cliffs Lodge. Google it. It was awesome. Huge room with kitchen and living room. A patio on the back of the room with a stream trickling by. And mountains to see. I really want to stay there again. It is so huge you call the office and the drive to pick you up!

Photos are a few more Utah photos and one of me on a boat ride on the Colorado River at Canyonland. I can still hear when it was dark and they turned the engines off. So spiritual. Too bad no church has ever made me feel like that. So I do not go. I always end up sitting alone if I go. Also photos from the Blacksmith Shop today.
