Today's Name Day:  Dagny, Helny

    Not much to say today.  Home alone with little communication with the outside world,  Email from JL.  Texts from CF, JR, & MM.  Warmer weather today.  Warmer again tomorrow.

    Slept good.  Cinder comes & goes between her chair & curling next to me.  I barely notice.  Same for nap times.

    Working the next 3 days.  My last full weekend of work.  Hoping it is a fun weekend!!

    Photos are autumn, farm, art, etc.

Fun harvest supper meal photo,  Nice memory,

Today's Name Day:  Raoul, Rolf

    Had a good day.  Slept fair.  Less low blood sugar.  Lowered my insulin one unit today.  See if that helps.

    Started raining this morning.  I had an umbrella in the car.  Never got closed so when I tried to grab on to it it got stuck.  I had to walk around the car to get it but then the door would not unlock.  As I turned to walk back around my foot go caught on a branch &  almost fell.  Scared me really bad.  If the umbrella had been put away the right way it would not have happened.  Damn.

    I was late getting to work.  And stressed.

    RA ruled today.  Had a new pain never had before.  😱. Walking was a challenge.

    Made great strides on my photos.  I sent two photos to people they were taken of.  Heard from one of them.  Fun.  It used to be a "thing" that when you traveled you took a copy of the local newspaper & then took a photo of you reading it on vacation.  That is what all these photos are of.  People, places, newspapers.  It is not done anymore.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  I had shrimp again.  Very good but too many fries.  Dessert was ice cream.  I will hate when they close for winter again.  But now the drive through is open maybe they could stay open some.  Hamburgers are good & so is the ice cream.

    Jalisco's is now ready to open tomorrow.  Tables & chairs were moved in today.  I won't make it there until friday.  I am anxious!!

    Photos are flowers, winter, etc.

A piece of art I created.

A piece of beauty I have on my desk at work.

Today's Name Day:  Henrietta, Henrika

Knew a Henrietta who was a neighbour & mother of a good friend.

    Had a very good day after an awful night. I went to bed & then I could not find my glucose sensor reader.  I searched the entire house more than once.  It was nowhere.  I was sure that when my blood sugar got too high or too low & then it would beep.  No beep all night.

    After I was dressed for lunch I called the company who makes my sensor to order a new one.  They were super nice & one is on the way.  Be here in 5 days.  Right after we said goodbye I heard my sensor beep softly.  It was somewhere in the bedroom.  Never found it.

    Then I got home tonight after supper I went to take a nap & then I saw it.  Nap never happened.  Could not relax. Cinder did cuddle with me.  I have changed my sensor.  It has to sit for one hour before it works,  Now up & blogging & waiting.

    Lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  Got a table which is always nice.  Good visit.  Most of the kids who came in ordered then left.

    Then I worked at the SVAFC.  I was a bit tired, but kept busy.  Visitors were sort of steady.  Lots of kids walking by but not coming in.  One lady did come in who knew our artist.  We had a great conversation.

    There was a huge bouquet of wildflowers on the desk in the gallery,  I will have photos of it tomorrow.  I see no flowers anywhere near where I live.  Sad.  No photos for me then.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  Did not know any of the workers.  But they all were nice.  I had the shrimp basket with potato wedges.  Next time just curly fries.

    Weather was a bit warm.  Cooler on sunday.  I hope.

    Photos are more flowers.  They are again from the Rosberg House a few years ago.  They all got replanted this summer.  I hope to get some new photos soon.

I sure miss my baby.  The pain never stops.

Glad the days are getting shorter.  Closer to Sweater Weather.  😃

Love Canada.  Would be great to live in a wonderful, caring country as Canada.

Today's Name Day:  Aron, Mirjam

I had a step grandson with my son's second temporary wife named, Aaron.  No clue where he is now.  Or her.  And I don't care.  Bad time in my life.

    Another quiet day.  I ended up cancelling almost everything.  Will cancelle tomorrow also.  Will do nothing until saturday.  Feeling too sick to care.  Pain, blood sugar problems, super depressed.  Just plain tired of it all.

    Had an eye dr. appointment for thursday that was going to stop me from eating with my thursday group.  Called my dr.  They found me a better appointment.  We are lunching at the Öl Stuga.  Will not miss that. Hopefully I will feel ok.  And it is MM's first day back to work.  So happy they gave him a week off.  

    I took a nap this afternoon after little sleep last night.  JR needed help so he called when I needed to be at his house.  From there I called MM to see if he still needed me to take him grocery shopping. He did and got me a couple of things.  Including potato sallad and donuts.  😋

    MM bought us some raspberry salted licorice to try.  Swedes love salted licorice.  Well.  We are now positive we are not Swedish enough to like it.  😝

    Weather was ok today.  Saw 91F today.  No strong winds.  No rain.

    Photos are a mix.  A few I played with AI to create.  Just a time killer.

I colored this graphic.  I should do this again.  Fun app.

Only took 3 tries to get the Swedish flag like I wanted.

Found a cute way to control my cords.  Love it!
