5/2026 - Monday the 4th - MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Mona , Monika
I have a great friend in Sweden named Mona.  Her special day.  We used to blog together on Yahoo years ago.  A nice group of us.  Then Yahoo stopped that program.  Miss it.  Mona used to post a different artist every week & we all would attempt to copy their art.  Miss that.  Maybe try one I enjoyed on my own.  Just for fun.


    Today has been pretty good.  Glad my kittens & Miss Kitty are home.  I saw them around 1am before going to bed.  They were beyond excited to see me!!  Gathered around my feet!!! They were starving.  Fed them again around 4am.
    This morning around 830am I looked out my bedroom window.  All 7 kittens were racing around my yard & climbing a tree.  What fun.  My screen is awful so no photos.  Have asked twice to have it replaced but I have given up.  Not going to happen. They got enough food today so have rested.  Asked 2 family members but no one has time for me.
    JS video chatted with me.  I know he worries about me & loves me.  Nice to see & hear him.  Makes my day. 
    Far too hot today.  I saw 85F here.  Felt ok outside.  I was out twice to get mail.  The second time KN was here so we had a nice chat.  He got all his corn planted.  Now we need lots of rain.  🌧  Let's hope.
    Temps dropping tonight then gets cold.  Chance of snow in the far NW corner of Kansas.  Chance of rain overnight here & all day tomorrow.  What a great fantasy.  Assaria will get it all.  As usual.
    One text from JR.  Nice email from JL.  Nothing from MM  Just photos of a concert he was at  & now at the airport.  No idea why.  I know nothing.  As usual.  Out of town football game.  I cannot even manage to get to Great Bend let alone a flight somewhere.
    Still nothing from my thursday group.  I deleted my texts since no one could or would answer them.  I am assuming we won't eat again.  I can go where I want alone.  And by thursday I might need groceries.  Will order to pick. up.  No more writing checks for groceries.
    Had poor sleep last night so took a nap this afternoon.  Slept ok.  Need to just learn to take at least a half or an entire anxiety pill at night.  I am just in so much pain & extra tiredness.  Joys of RA & weather.  Wish I had a support group.  Another fantasy.  Few family. & fewer friends.  None have time for me.
    There is a RA site I follow.  Every night they have a Roll Call ----- where we are & how we feel.  As close to a support group as I can get.  Nice to know I am not suffering alone.  Sometimes they ask in the morning also.  Members from all over the world.
    Saw no cattle or llamas.  Maybe poor timing on my part..
    I double checked to make sure that all my favorite shows on CBS are set to tape.  But today I missed one soap.  Watched it on my ipad.  Says it will tape tomorrow.  I will double check before that time.
    I see that Swedish people are reading my blog again.  Nice.  But Mexico has dropped out.
    I watched part of SNL UK last night.  The opening was all about the royal family.  They cannot be happy!  Funny.

3/2026 - MÃ¥ndag den 23:e - MY JOURNEY

 



Me and a young Nico.  My heart hurts seeing him.



Today's Name Day:  Gerd, Gerda
Know a Gerd in Sweden.

    Today was an ok day.  Just super tired from my RA no doubt.  Stomach is ok so far.  Nice for a change.
    I had goals of things to do but too tired.  Hope I perk up sometime.  Might never happen.
    We got really cold last night.  It was 29F here. Highs in the 50s.  Winds around 22mph.  Hot again on thursday.  Then colder on friday.  No climate change or problems here.  😨
    Had an email from JL.  And my usual good mornig from N&C.  Everyone else quiet.
    I saw the llamas laying out in the pasture with cattle all around.  Grabbed my iphone & got some nice photos.  They were clueless.  I never called out to them.
    Had a short nap after lunch.  No cats near.  Kisse has a container of cat food she eats out of.  Then she disappeared. No cats seen all afternoon.  Both hiding out somewhere.  When I just turned the tv on here came Cinder.  She is laying on me now.
    MM has texted.  We need to meet tomorrow but heris moving this week.  We will do a work around to solve what we need to do.
    STILL no CBS here..  CH12 shows nothing.  I wonder if our "president" part of this.  It is common knowledge he dislikes CBS.  I am sick of it.
    Glad I am not flying anywhere now.  What a mess.  Sick of politics messing up our airports.  Poor workers.  Sick of politics period.
    Had a long video chat with JS.  Nice to see him.
    Photos today are ones I have taken of Lindsborg & maybe one from Salina.

Miss having fun times like we did. We played games, ate out, went dancing, had cocktails.  Nothing like that now.
