05/2024 Onssdag the 15th - Wandering & Capturing Moments



National Chocolate Chip Day 


Today's Name Day: Sophia, Sonja


    I did not blog last night.  Had a Smoky Valley Historical Association board meeting & then an awesone program.  Out too late & far too tired & too stressed.

    Board meeting did not go well for me.  Another board member jumped all over me.  I did not do something she prefers.  I explained why & that I usually do what she likes.  She said I never do what she wants & as a result I cause her to not have enough money.  Huh???  My board minutes can do that to someone?

    Then the last minutes I sent out I had made some errors. It happens to the best of us.  But that could have been handled privately to let me fix things & resend but I was dressesd down in front of everyone.  Truthfully, I was ready to resign.  I am still upset.  It was hurtful.  If I am not wanted  just fire me & get it over with.  Sheesh.

    The program was excellent. All about a training area for WWII troops & a German prisoner of war place.  Many of the Germans were farmers so they sent them here to work on our farms.  My mom & grandma both worked in there.  I have no more to say.  Too much info & I am sure I am clueless what I heard & what I remember.  I cannot do much right anymore.

    Slept really poorly last night.  My mind kept reliving crap that happened to me.  Not that it matters to anyone.  And I had Mom & Mimi (grandma) on my mind.  I cannot say how much I needed Mimi.  I have very rare good memories from my childhood.  And there were other relatives who knew but never reached out to me.  The 2 who did when I was an adult lived in Denver.  No one here ever did..

    Today was a work day.  I am working on a huge box of photos by one photographer of men who are not identified.  I think this is not the only box..  There are others.  It goes pretty fast though.

    Supper was Mexican food.  Good but a quiet night there.  Good to see my friends there though.  Cats had been inside napping all day.  Cinder was ready to go out.  Just came in now.  

    I think I heard a few rain drops when I was outside.  It rained overnight.  And a sprinkle today.  And showers forming now here.  And southern KS had hail, some quite large.  Just want rain.  We are desperate.  And many people who have no farming connection just do not care.

    Last night about the time I left town, there was a big fire.  Burned a garage with a car in it.  Looked at it today.  Bet I could get that car pretty cheap!!! ðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜ŒðŸ˜œ 

    Home & quiet day tomorrow.  Got a couple of things I want to do but see how I feel.  And if I sleep or stress all night again.

    Photos today are one photo of my fur kids & the others are just things around my house.

23 august, 2022 Wandering

    Today was ok.  Had a little trouble sleeping.  And my throat got so dry I thought I might choke.  Hard to breathe.  Dryness is from my Sjogren's syndrome.  It is a joy.

    So far no Covid symptoms.  Checked my temp first thing today.  All good.  I am still stressed about it.

    Today is an emotional day for me.  In 1951 my grandparents took a trip to Colorado.  On the way home there was a car wreck.  My grandma was hurt the worst.  She had a bleed in her brain & back then no way to save her.  She passed away.  I was 3 years old.  I have missed her my entire life.  I would have had a different life if she had lived.  Long story & no one cares or believes.  This is also the birthday of one of my favorite aunts.  My grandma died on her daughter's birthday.  Just awful.  My 2 aunts who lived in Denver were the best.  We were in touch often.  I would go to Denver to stay & visit with them.  And we emailed each other often when there was email.  The best.  Just a day of memories for me.  Bittersweet.

    Nice weather again.  Our low was 60F & our high was 88F.  Sat out with Nico twice.  Nice.  He took a sun bath!!

    I was supposed to call JS when he was on break but I fell asleep.  Shame at me.  Will talk later.  He is so sweet.  He is on call for anything I might need.  So far so good.

    Talked to no one today.  Just quiet.  That is ok.

    Photos today are some summer flowers that I took a couple of years ago.
