12/2025 - Martes the 30th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day:  Set, Kelsey, Mason

My neighbour's daughter is Kelsey.  Have known a Mason.

    

    Slept good last night.  I watch my blood sugar so it does not go too low.  Cinder stays close as does Kisse.  Like having them close to me.

    Got cold over night but warm today.  I wore my coat tonight but did not need it.  One never knows.

    I braved the back bathroom to shampoo my hair.  Was warm & water was ok.  I got a hold of my hair stylist & his first opening is January 22.  Hard to believe but maybe he is punishing me for cancelling when I did not feel well.  Sorry.  My first to do thing is take care of me.  Tough.  At that appointment will find a day to color my hair.  Then back to normal.

    Emails with JL.mail

    I had planned to work tomorrow but I have been invited out to lunch & coffee/cake in the afternoon.  Cancelled work for tomorrow.  Tired of watching every one else have fun times with friends.  So I an going to also.  Will work on friday.  And lunch with LL.  Seeing MM tomorrow at noon also.

    The mailman crammed my mailbox full of small packages.  What a mess.  They are in to open in a minute.

    My phone is a total mess.  I have deleted tons of photos & programs.  Still is not working right.  Next week I will see what Verizon has to say.  If they have any way to help me.  Would hate to drop them.  JR looked on his service to see what kind of phones they are selling.  None of them have hardly any storage.  What the hell???  Makes no sense.  Nothing I do helps.

    TV is boring tonight.  Nothing to watch.

    I have decided to pull away from things & people.  I got far to involved in Christmas.  No more.  A couple of happy happy but not a dozen every day.  I no longer care how many I get.  No wonder I felt awful most of the time.  I want the holidays over & my life back.

    JR & I ate supper at Jalisco's.  They were moderately busy.  I knew almost no one.  My cousin & her husband come in often.  She rarely if ever says hi or smiles at me.  He husband almost always smiles, or waves, or says hi.  How I love family.

    Think I can leave the water not dripping tonight.  Gets expensive.  But I love when I get a glass of water it is very cold.  No basement so the pipes get cold.  In summer the water sucks.  Luke warm.  Ick,

    Photos are the usual.  Several more Christmas lights.  There was one house I really wanted a photo of.  Got it tonight.

AI Me again.  Wish my hair was this red!!!

                                                               

     

 

12/2025 - Lunes the 29th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  David, Able

Willie's best friend was David.  I never see him.  Had a friend whose last name was Able.

    Not a bad day.  Ignored by the usual people.  No surprise.  Have emailed JL several times.  Cancelled supper with a short message from JR.  Not much else.  Some texting with a Mexican friend since it is her daughter's birthday.  Sweet friends.

    It is cold today & supposedly some breezes.  But I feel nothing here.  We have a strong wind break on the north side of our house.  I sat outside for a while sorting mail.  It felt cold.  Not much mail.  Mostly cat food.  They were out.

    My phone continues to be a mess.  Have purchased something that may help.  Or not.  Driving me crazy.

    I am tired of this year & ready for a new one.  Not felt good since my big fall earlier.  Really upset my life.  I continue to be scared.  No bueno.  And tired of all the tiresome family & friend fun others get to have.  I have neither or a support group.  Just me.

    Worked on genealogy & got caught up.  One guy was totally wrong about people.  Should have ignored him.  My one Swedish family I spent time with when there posted many photos.  So nice to see them.  Wish they kept in touch better.  I should also.

     On the news they just said that 40% of older people feel lonely.  No shit.  Not much choice when there is no one for me.  Probably should have went out to eat tonite.  Maybe I would feel better.  Maybe.  But those who should care or used to care no longer do.  😿

    New Years will be quiet.  Just need to decide what jammies to wear in my living room!!! 😁

    Hope TV is ok tonight.  Last night was good.  Latin Music show.

    Photos are snowy.

Old, old photo of my church.  A fave photo.

09/2025 - Jueves the 25th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:   Gerhard, Gert

My one great uncle had a middle name of Gerhard.  Have a friend in Sweden who is named Gert.  Maybe middle name is Anne.

    Sorry for no blog last night.  I was hurt emotionally after supper.  Took me by surprise.  Family info I had no business knowing.  And told how someone was thrilled about my not being family anymore.  I am sure I will survive & calm down.  But for now I have cut someone out of my life for a few days.

    Then last night a friend & almost family texted me many times.  Nothing important.  Me & my heart needed to be cared for.  He was perfect.

    Had lunch at the Öl Stuga.  MM was bartending.  I got to meet one bartender I knew of & one who is new,  Both very nice.  Good time.

    I worked at the Old Mill in the afternoon.  I kept busy.  And the three of us working were silly a few times.  Best coworkers!!!

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  So good to see everyone.  I had been gone for so long the one kitchen help did not even see me!  But he when he did we talked.  Supper was good.  I had carnitas.  Excellent.  Then ice cream at the Barnyard Creamery.

    Then there I got slammed.  Info about my parents I had no clue about.  No idea how they felt about me back then.  And the truth of someone else how he felt about me.  All painful.  Being made fun of & no apology.  FML.

    At home in tears a good friend started texting me.  Not saying anything special.  He is going out of state until next week and just texting.  He is such a good person.  I am always surprised when someone likes/loves me.  He feels like family to me.  Maybe he will miss me also.  But just some non-important texts healed my heart.  I told him today.  💓

    MM is going to help me with several projects.  Supposedly we are not related by blood but he is much better than local aunts/cousins/etc.  There is one project he is doing to make sure I don't get charged many hundreds of dollars again over something being done wrong.  I do not care who gets upset.  If you cared at all it would have taken care of weeks ago.  My bedroom window is getting fixed & boxes will be moved.  No charge to me.

    No rain forecast for here until October.  Then some is coming.  Until then temps around 80.  October temps in the 70s,

    Autumn is here.  I keep my AC set at a certain temp.  But it is now too cool.  I was so chilled last night.  I can tell when Kisse is cold also.  I set the temp warmer.  Her napping photo shows she is comfy today.

    Had to delay my Great Bend trip for a few days.  No problem.

    Fotos are a mix. from yesterday.

   

Burger for lunch.

You can see MM cooking here,

Old Mill fotos before work.

1956,

Me on someone's birthday.  I can guarantee it was not my birthday,  Either one of my kids or Willie.  I never was remembered on my birthday.

Old fotos of me in 1956.  Probably around Easter.
