04/2025 Onsdag the 30th - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 



Today's Name Day:  Mariana

    Not a bad day.  Sleep was so-so.  Awake too often.  A bit less pain.  But with the weather that won't last.
    I was up early to get ready to travel to Hutchinson KS to see my diabetic doctor.  Luckily I saw his PA.  I like her.  She is thorough & listens to what I say.
    Had a good trip there.  Little traffic.  She found no reason why my sugars are unstable and no reason why they go from super high to super low.  She is ordering me a wearable continuous glucose monitor.  I can wear it for 14 days on either my arm or stomach.  I am worried about applying it but she says it is easy.  It comes with its own monitor you carry with you.  It will warn me if I am going low,  Great!!  They come from somewhere away from here & they will mail them to me,  So I await them to call.  Better than sticking my fingers,
    I skipped supper out tonight.  I would have had over an hour to kill time.  I was too tired so decided to eat out tomorrow. Came home & took a nap with my cats.
    I woke up before my alarm.  Again I was shaky & sweaty,  Hard to move & do anything.  Super low blood sugar.  It said 38.  Scary low.  Damn.  I managed to check my reading & get my glucose tabs.  Luckily I texted MM & he kept checking on me to make sure I was ok,  I knew he would.  That is why I texted him.
    Coming home from Hutch I could see rain towards home.  It sprinkled in Lindsborg.  I had photos to take at the Old Mill.  New stuff outside!!  Then from Coronado Heights to home it rained pretty hard.  Big drops.  And when I woke up from my nap it was raining again.  Did not get much but sure nice to see & smell.
    Right now I can see Larry & Coco ---- llamas ---- out my window.  Not seen them for a couple of days.  Should have went out with my phone.
    Today in Sweden it is Walpurgis Night.  And in other countries also.  It is a big celebration with drinking, food, & giant bonfires.  Read about it here.

Sweater Weather --- So Much Better!

Today's Name Day:  Irma, Irmelin
Irma is a special day to me.  Was a sweet lady friends with my in-laws.

    What a busy day!!  I am exhausted & hurting everywhere!!!
    Day started with lab work.  I hate hospitals & hate doctor's appointments.  Lab was ok.  Had a longer wait than usual.  Then back home for lunch & fixing my face.
    Saw my doctor at 2pm.  I was sooo worried about my labs but it was mostly ok.  Even my A1C was good. And my weight also.
    Done with my doctor, I took off to Hutchinson to pick up meds.  Good trip.
    On they way home I stopped at Jalisco's & bought 2 burritos.  Great supper.
    I just now took a short nap.  I was just wiped out.  I feel better now.  But the house is cold now.  Heat on for a while.
    Hate the weather.  Talking about more high winds every other day & no chance of rain.  There will be rain north, east, & south of us but not here.  Maybe a chance for rain in mid to late April.  Not holding my breath!!  And forecasting weather in the 80s.  Usch!!!
    Photos today are a mix.
                            


Happy Easter in Swedish.

A field of henbit.  Always pretty.



Henbit is always purple but several summers ago I had a couple of plants in my yard that were white.  I took many photos as they are rare.




No more pain.

Today's Name Day:  Disa

    My day did not start good.  I wanted to go to Hutchinson.  But when I got up this morning I could barely walk.  I could not even stand up straight.  I did not want to cancel but I know I cannot travel or walk through a hospital clinic like this.  I rested on the sofa & took some pain pills.  After lunch I was better.  I half heartedly put on make up & got dressed.  And took off,
    I was ok driving & got to the clinic & walked in fine.  I got a stack of papers I had to sign.  Had to sign my name 7 times.  No problem.  Going back to my car was ok.  I had a close parking place.
    On the way home I wanted some ice cream.  Stopped in McPherson at Dairy Queen to get a hot fudge sundae.  Hit the spot!!!  I deserved it.  Then home for a short nap.
    It did not get too cold last night.  It was 50F my house when I left today.  Lindsborg was in the 40s.  Got to Hutch in was in the 50s.  After being inside the wind had really come up!!  Trash day tomorrow but no boxes moving out to near the trash bins.  The closer I got to home the lower the temperature got.  Right now it is 29F.  Cold.  Staying in.
    On the weather at supper they are forecasting icy roads on wednesday.  No!!!  Work day!!!  And next week snow all over Kansas.  Won't say how much is expected though.  Too early.
    Got home & decided to leave the couple of trash bags in the house & fill the second empty trash bin with boxes,  It held quite a few.  Looks better outside.
    Saw a huge number of geese flying near some water.  If I was not driving I could have heard them.  Cool.
    Feeling ok tonight.  Probably because the front has passed by.  I am sure that is why I hurt so bad this morning.

Today"s Name Day:  Malena, Malin

    Today I finally made it to Hutchinson to pick up my meds.  I went around 230pm.  Then I get there a bit late & there were many parking places.  Nice.  I planned ahead & brought a plastic bag to carry my meds.  I needed it.  Easy to get back to my car.
    I picked up JR for supper.  Tonight we ate at the Crown & Rye.  I had their Swedish meatballs over mashed potatoes.  Excellent.  Then ice cream from Indigo Moo'd.
    Got very sad news today.  Our neighbour's son has died.  Too young.  Married with 2 daughters.  Known him since he was a child.  I cannot imagine their sadness & pain.  Nothing I can say that will help, but they know I care.
    I think Cinder missed me.  She is hanging so close.  Need to get her some extra food.  She & I were out of food.  JR & had bought supplies before coming home.
    MM called me on my phone.  All 3 of his kids are with him tonight.  And they went nuts over Grandma being on the phone.  I have never been told "I  love you" so many times.  Sure made my day!!  All 4 are special. 💕💕
    Photos are Christmas ones.  Some I added backgrounds to.  Something fun to do.
