3/2026 - Söndag den 29:e - MY JOURNEY

Happy Easter in Swedish. Sweden does witches for Easter. The kids dress up as witches. And get candy.

Today's Name Day: Jens, Jonas

I have known a Jens & a couple of Jonases.

My day was ok but the weekend was a challenge. Rough on me emotionally & physically. And I got no support in any way. Just me & the cats here alone

With the high winds I had a group of boxes that kept blowing around. Both trash bins have been tipped over. Someone --- KN?? --- put the group of boxes in one bin & left it laying on its side. Would not have stayed if set it upright. I have another pile of boxes. I could do the same with them. See how much pain I am in. There are no offers to help me if I need it

I slept so-so. Needed a bit more sleep but it went ok. I brought my iPad to work at the SVAFC. I googled how to do something but then I realised my keyboard needs to be charged. Duh. Charging now. See if that helps. Might take a while.

Had a few people come in. Last day of this show. I told MH I could probably work for him on friday. Then I can see the next show. I am baffled what it will be. I am curious.

The 10th of April is the yearly Jazz Walk in town. A family named Draper have a huge musical group. They walk down the sidewalk playing their instruments then a concert in the Sundstrom Building. All free. The music this year is Blues. Will be awesome. Decided I am taking that friday off from work. Trying to eat out for lunch, working all afternoon, then supper out, & finally the concert. Too much for one day. Will relax most of the day at home.

After work supper was at Pizza Hut. I was hungry. Had pasta & garlic bread. Ate most of it. Then home. I did my spanish lesson at work on my iPad. Not easy but I got 2 lessons done. Sort of awful. May check on a new case. Since I have ignored this one too much.

I found out a gathering I am usually included in did not invite me. Upsets me even though it is none of my business. So I have been crying. Lots more to the story but that is all I am saying. FOMO ---- fear of missing out. Not really a fear anymore. I am just excluded from things going on. Period.

This weekend was our Messiah Chorus festival. Used to be both Easter weekends, 3 performances, concerts during the week. Almost nothing now. Very sad. They have trouble getting people to sing or attend.

Photos are nothing special. Saw no llamas today. Or yesterday.

The cats have been hanging around more today. Ate last night & today. Cinder is sleeping by the TV. Kisse is hiding. Probably under my bed.

3/2026 - Tisdagen den 17:e - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Gertrud

Have had an ok day. Not warm but windy. Gusts around 40mph. Western KS is in the 60s & sunny. Not here.

My trash bins never got put up right. Trashmen set them up & picked up some trash that came out of them.

Today I saw a cat near my porch looking for food. I fed him & I went back inside. As I walked down the hallway I saw him in the yard. He was gorgeous!! Very dark grey with a striped design. This is what he looked like. I googled cats. He looked very healthy.

JR & I went to eat at Jalisco's. AJTR bought me cookies from Walmart that are to die for!! He was quite surprised when I said to him "gracias por galletas". Thanks for the cookies. He had no idea I knew the spanish word for cookies. I took a spanish class one summer & galletas was in that class. MS was so proud of both him & me able to sort of talk to each other without her help. Here are the galletas.

When I left my house it was lightly raining. All the way to Jalisco's. And it never got warm here. Only in the low 50s.

Only emailed with JL. And a few photos from MM.

Then I got a message from a friend sad that I have to put up with being treated badly on Lindsborg Now. And MM was almost yelling to me some guy was saying awful things about me & rules for our group. He must have deleted that post but he posted a photo of his truck for sale with money & stuff posted that is not allowed. I deleted his post & banned him for life. And I went to block him from me personally.

I am ill prepared for photos today. I went way back in time to choose some old, old ones I either took or saved. Lots of memories to see.

Back roads church in Lost Springs. Love it.

Willie & harvest.

Messiah chorus pins. Don't make them any more. When I sang I always wore one hidden under my white outfit so it could be there for the chorus again.

Mom & her sisters. Miss them more than words can say. Aunt Thelma Arcel, Aunt Martha Lee, & Mom. Aunt Thelma went by Arcel in Lindsborg but by Thelma in Denver. I called her either one depending my mood & where we were. And her husband, Uncle Max, always made sure when I was there we spent a day up in the mountains. He knew I loved it up there. No one else ever took me there. Miss him too.
