8/2026 - Thursday the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Kaj,

    Today has been better.  Slept fair.  Less pain finally.  Pain started 3-4 days ago getting worse everyday.  Today my pain is around 6 today.  That is typical RA.

    Met my group of 4 who eat together. on thursday.s  I never asked what they thought about eating on fridays sometimes.  Won't be part of my life.  Hope they can understand.  I did good aboug not talking too much,  Their lives are more interesting than mine.

    Lunch was at the Crown & Rye.  I tried something new.  A pasta dish.  It had small pieces of meat.  I like it ok.

    Went home for a short nap.  So far the cats are not thrilled with their new dry food,  And I cleaned out their water bowl & they are not happy with it either.  Did I did not rinse out the soap good enough.  Tonight it looks like they have drank some. & maybe tasted the food.

    I knew that Daisy needed new water but decided to wait until after lunch.  I should not have waited.  She gulped down water for sure.  Need to keep a bottle or two extra & filled..

    Hot again,  Saw 109 in my car & at home also.  I hate summer.  Jag hatar sommaren. Severe storm now in Salina, Dark skies but nothing here.

8/2026 - Tuesday the 11th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Susanna

I went to high school with a Susanna & her 2 sisters.  One was my age.

    Today was just a day of "nada".  Just lonely.  I try to ignore those who have real lives.

    I tried to nap but did not.  Instead I sorted through photos & deleted almost 900.  I am way behind,

    Ready for autumn.  Today was 106.3F.  All you sun loving people can have it.  Makes me physically sick.  Bryr sig någon??  And no change in our weather until maybe this weekend or next week.  Hope my car works.  It does not like super hot stuff either.

    I tried some kind of soda that is supposed to be healthy.  But it does not taste good.  Need to quit trying new things.

    CH 10 had a special on tonight about Aug. 11, 1976 in Wichita.  I remember when it happened.  Eleven victims were shot & killed.  There were others injured for various reasons.  The shooter was Michael Soles.  He is actually still alive in prison.  There was no death penalty then.   The reason  I remember this event so well was after the shooting Willie & I were there in the Holidayt Inn.  Has a different name now.  Willie was a semi truck driver then.  Another trucker was being honored  for something.  He was a friend of all of us.  So there was big award/meeting/supper, etc.  I cannot remember how long after the shooting it was held but many of his friends went.  It in the Holiday Inn.  After eating there was a bar open for us to go to on one of the top floors for free drinks.   The bar was actually in the room where there shooter was located shooting.  I watched on tv about it tonight.  I remember feeling kind of creepy in the shooting room.  They had an interview with the shooter.  He has tried to get out but thankfully they refuse.  He seems to think he could help others,  I do not think so.  His life was never good.  Not as a child or adult.  I want to see the special again.

This is very true.  Plus I have friends in many foreign countries.  Would hate to lose contact with family & friends,

Best friends having fun.  Lucky them.
