5/2026 - Sunday the 31th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Veronika , Vera, Petronella , Pernilla

I only know a Pernilla.  A cousin in Skåne.  Love her name & she & her family are the best.  Wish I could go see them again.  But no family or friends who can help me in anyway.  No one who can even take me to Wichita let alone Sweden.  FML.

    Last 2 days.  What a challenge.  Saturday was a fun day at work. Some one I have known for a long time came & he stayed for a while to talk.  Very pleasant.  Then a new friend stayed the rest of the day.  I really like her.  Hope we stay in touch

    After work I went out to eat.  Nothing good at home.  And ended with  ice cream.  I noticed the clouds from south of town we moving at a scary speed to town.  Super fast & huge clouds.  I got a few photos  I am sharing.  They blew to my farm.     

    I had winds of at least 70mph.  Scary.  Then the electricity was killed.  I was terrified to walk around the house.  Only a tiny flashlight to use.  I was so scared I would fall & get injured.  My trash bins were really tossed around.  One blocked me to get in my car so I could charge my phone

    I had no electricy from around 8pm until 12:41am.  I fell asleep around 9pm.  Both inside cats were a mess.  I think scared.  Kisse was racing around.  Cinder just stayed close,  Did not sleep well most of the night.

    In times of bad things, you find out who cares. MM called to check on me.  Told me he would check when he went to bed.  And see if I needed anything.  And he did.  Told me he  would call this morning,  And he did.  His youngest son is here,  He heard us talking & said in the phone "Hello!  I love you Grandma".

    Did make it to work.  Dead tired.  Work was ok today.  I prepared to be tired but two artists came in & kept me awake.  So did my new friend,

    KK from Pizza Hut has been curious where I work.  He came in today.  Nice!!  I am always surprised when some one likes me.  He makes me laugh & smile.  I like him.

    Supper was at Pizza Hut.  I had a sallad.  Good.

    Came home to find my tv did not work.  Dang.  I went to restart it but he was not diconnected.  Remote had dead batteries.  Nothing broke.  Lucky. 

    Decided to get a new dryer.  I guess.  Not sure.  Hate to spend that much money.  Must quit spending on stuff or people.

    I was sure I changed my heater/AC before work.  I did not.  House was 86F.  Poor kitties.  OK now,  Sheesh.

    I did my spanish lesson at work.  I was sure I would get docked for missing a lesson.  Nope.  Done with it tonight.  And almost done with this.  Posting few pictures.

Fly catcher.

Swedish artist paintings.  Carl Larsson.

                                                                     

             

    

07/2025 - Miércoles the 23th- JOURNEY

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
