Today's Name Day:  Paula, Paulina

Have known a several Paulas --- friend, musician, daughter of a boss.

    No blog.  My blood sugar is really bad.  Been too low since 3pm.  Makes me tired.  But my sensor keeps beeping so I cannot nap.  Only photos today.

Me at work

Car photos are from a video posted saturday morning.

KN harvesting today near Falun!!!  Wish I was there!!

This cat looks a lot like Cinder.  And how she makes me feel.  💖

Today's Name Day:  Marit, Rita

A cousin's wife was Rita.

    Today was ok.  Sort of a mental health day.  And experimenting with my blood sugar & insulin.  A better day finally.

    Rain in Kansas but god forbid here.  In the west & swirling to the west.  Going in a circle there.  No chance here yet.  We always lose here.  And the weather men are soooo excited that we might get a whopping half inch.  Best not to talk about it unless we actually get rain that matters.

    The Mill had some things left on their silent auction.  I bid on one.  See if I won tomorrow when I go to work.  It is a carving.

    Had more texts today than usual.  Nice to hear from family & friends.  Good to be apart of things.  Sometimes rare for me.

    Weather was ok,  I think winds return tomorrow.  Ick.  Hate the wind.

    Sharing photos of poppies.  For local people,  these are Lan Nelson's poppies.  I watch his patch closely every year so I do not miss them.  I think these were originally Betty Hanson's poppies. She was a teacher I had.  Makes them more special.

Flags at our local grocery store.

Flowers for sale at the grocery store,

My salad at Pizza Hut.  The best.

Wish I was here.  Going west out of Colorado Springs.

Today's Name Day:  Ferdinand, Nanna

    I had a good day but did change my plans.  Slept good.  Weather was so-so  (in Spanish is mas o menos with a hand signal)

    Lunch was with my thursday lunch group at the Öl Stuga.  And what a great surprise I got there.  MM was bartending today.  SM & his mom were there!!!  I took photos & they have not synched yet.  Grr.  I got lots of hugs for sure during lunch!!  Plus good conversation with my friends.  When my meal was over MM always walks me to my car even if I am across the street.  Nice to be cared for.

    I had planned to go to Hutch to get some medication.  But watching the radar there was a large area of rain that was on the way.  I decided not to drive in rain & wait until monday.  So I went home to take a nap.  But it did not rain.  😔. Oh well.  No biggie.

    When I got home my llamas, Larry & Coco, were by my fence,  I drove close to get nice photos.  I hoped they were nice!  And I see they are still here from my living room window.  They must have napped also,

    I did not eat enough for lunch so my blood sugar was a bit low.  I happened to look at a graph of all my blood sugars & something jumped out at me.  One of my sugars I had written it as OVER 1000!!!  Lordy.  I went back & changed that to what it actually was.  I was worried why my A1C. was so high.  Now everything is as it should be.  What was I thinking???

    I am always surprised when I have a new pain.  Happened when dressing today.  Odd.  Was gone as quick as it started.

    Got a text from someone who wants me to work a day in May.  I always enjoy those texts!!

    Tomorrow is an extra long day.  Think I will skip lunch.  Then I work & eat supper.  Then we are going to a concert.  There will be no blog tomorrow.  Will be too late & I will be too tired.  Hate to miss the concert.  Love it.

    Supper time.  Photos are sort of Easterly.

National Fast Food Day

I like some fast food.  Probably too much!!

Today's Name Day: Vibeke, Viveka

    Today again was not a good day.  Yesterday I felt so much better & slept painless all night.  But got up & pain again.  As much as I hate it, I am cancelling sunday.  All I can do is take care of myself.  There is no one to help me do that.  Or even just give me support when I need it.  Just me.

    Today is my great grandson's 4th birthday.  They are having a party tomorrow.  I want to go but I just cannot go.  I fear pain & leaving early.  FML as usual.

    The rest of sunday is cancelled also.  No eating out.  I barely have energy to do anything.  I am worn out from pain.  I am sure that no one understands or cares but it is my life.  Another FML.  I have no one to turn to for help.  I have a short list of things I want to do but not today or tomorrow.  I have one word for my pain & that is Fuck.  If offend anyone too bad.  You have no idea.

    Cinder has snuggled off & on.  And I noticed Cinder slept under my bed last night.  Kisse does that sometimes but rarely Cinder.  I would get up & sit on the bed to get prepared to walk.  Next thing I knew Cinder was behind me.  Hmmmm.  What would I do without my cats.  I would be lost.  No Willie, no kids, no one here but my cats.  🐈🐱

    Weather was warm & windy.  Rain starts sunday evening.  Do not want to be driving in heavy rain.  Did that the last rain.  Scary to drive when it is hard to see the road.  Not doing it again if I can avoid it.

    Photos are seasonal.

                    

Crown & Rye in town.

Old advertising for Swedish coffee in the Levin Store.  All way before my time.

Window in town.  Maybe the Swedish Country Inn.

Dalahäst & snow

Makes me smile.

Love barns & snow.

Kicking Dalahäst

Be fun to be part of this.  I can dream.
