5/2026 - Monday the 4th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Mona , Monika

I have a great friend in Sweden named Mona. Her special day. We used to blog together on Yahoo years ago. A nice group of us. Then Yahoo stopped that program. Miss it. Mona used to post a different artist every week & we all would attempt to copy their art. Miss that. Maybe try one I enjoyed on my own. Just for fun.

Today has been pretty good. Glad my kittens & Miss Kitty are home. I saw them around 1am before going to bed. They were beyond excited to see me!! Gathered around my feet!!! They were starving. Fed them again around 4am.

This morning around 830am I looked out my bedroom window. All 7 kittens were racing around my yard & climbing a tree. What fun. My screen is awful so no photos. Have asked twice to have it replaced but I have given up. Not going to happen. They got enough food today so have rested. Asked 2 family members but no one has time for me.

JS video chatted with me. I know he worries about me & loves me. Nice to see & hear him. Makes my day.

Far too hot today. I saw 85F here. Felt ok outside. I was out twice to get mail. The second time KN was here so we had a nice chat. He got all his corn planted. Now we need lots of rain. 🌧 Let's hope.

Temps dropping tonight then gets cold. Chance of snow in the far NW corner of Kansas. Chance of rain overnight here & all day tomorrow. What a great fantasy. Assaria will get it all. As usual.

One text from JR. Nice email from JL. Nothing from MM Just photos of a concert he was at & now at the airport. No idea why. I know nothing. As usual. Out of town football game. I cannot even manage to get to Great Bend let alone a flight somewhere.

Still nothing from my thursday group. I deleted my texts since no one could or would answer them. I am assuming we won't eat again. I can go where I want alone. And by thursday I might need groceries. Will order to pick. up. No more writing checks for groceries.

Had poor sleep last night so took a nap this afternoon. Slept ok. Need to just learn to take at least a half or an entire anxiety pill at night. I am just in so much pain & extra tiredness. Joys of RA & weather. Wish I had a support group. Another fantasy. Few family. & fewer friends. None have time for me.

There is a RA site I follow. Every night they have a Roll Call ----- where we are & how we feel. As close to a support group as I can get. Nice to know I am not suffering alone. Sometimes they ask in the morning also. Members from all over the world.

Saw no cattle or llamas. Maybe poor timing on my part..

I double checked to make sure that all my favorite shows on CBS are set to tape. But today I missed one soap. Watched it on my ipad. Says it will tape tomorrow. I will double check before that time.

I see that Swedish people are reading my blog again. Nice. But Mexico has dropped out.

I watched part of SNL UK last night. The opening was all about the royal family. They cannot be happy! Funny.

Artist for the previous drawings.

Love this car. I can dream.

Beautiful

3/2026 - Söndag den 29:e - MY JOURNEY

Happy Easter in Swedish. Sweden does witches for Easter. The kids dress up as witches. And get candy.

Today's Name Day: Jens, Jonas

I have known a Jens & a couple of Jonases.

My day was ok but the weekend was a challenge. Rough on me emotionally & physically. And I got no support in any way. Just me & the cats here alone

With the high winds I had a group of boxes that kept blowing around. Both trash bins have been tipped over. Someone --- KN?? --- put the group of boxes in one bin & left it laying on its side. Would not have stayed if set it upright. I have another pile of boxes. I could do the same with them. See how much pain I am in. There are no offers to help me if I need it

I slept so-so. Needed a bit more sleep but it went ok. I brought my iPad to work at the SVAFC. I googled how to do something but then I realised my keyboard needs to be charged. Duh. Charging now. See if that helps. Might take a while.

Had a few people come in. Last day of this show. I told MH I could probably work for him on friday. Then I can see the next show. I am baffled what it will be. I am curious.

The 10th of April is the yearly Jazz Walk in town. A family named Draper have a huge musical group. They walk down the sidewalk playing their instruments then a concert in the Sundstrom Building. All free. The music this year is Blues. Will be awesome. Decided I am taking that friday off from work. Trying to eat out for lunch, working all afternoon, then supper out, & finally the concert. Too much for one day. Will relax most of the day at home.

After work supper was at Pizza Hut. I was hungry. Had pasta & garlic bread. Ate most of it. Then home. I did my spanish lesson at work on my iPad. Not easy but I got 2 lessons done. Sort of awful. May check on a new case. Since I have ignored this one too much.

I found out a gathering I am usually included in did not invite me. Upsets me even though it is none of my business. So I have been crying. Lots more to the story but that is all I am saying. FOMO ---- fear of missing out. Not really a fear anymore. I am just excluded from things going on. Period.

This weekend was our Messiah Chorus festival. Used to be both Easter weekends, 3 performances, concerts during the week. Almost nothing now. Very sad. They have trouble getting people to sing or attend.

Photos are nothing special. Saw no llamas today. Or yesterday.

The cats have been hanging around more today. Ate last night & today. Cinder is sleeping by the TV. Kisse is hiding. Probably under my bed.
