4/2026 - Måndag den 27:e - MY JOURNEY

 

The Scheme.  Very cool place.  Pizza place & bar.  Need to go there again.

Today's Name Day:  Engelbrekt

    Today. was ok.  Yesterday I only counted 4 kittens.  Today all 6 are here & Miss Kitty.  They were hungry!!!

    Cooler today.  Only in the 60s.  Nice.  Staying a bit cooler for a few days.  Wish it would last all summer.  Dreading the heat, humidity, & bugs.  And severe weather.

    Salina got hit quite hard last night.  Winds of 70+mph, huge hail, damage to homes & cars.  Big clean up today.  Glad it missed here.

    After lunch I forced myself to carry out 10 bags of trash despite having severe pain.  Some were way too heavy for me to carry.  Almost died.  After those bags I took a nap.  Cinder stayed nearby.  Kisse in the bedroom.  Planned to take more trash out when I woke up.

    Saw no cattle outside but near supper I saw the llamas out my window.  Too sore to go outside.  Maybe tomorrow.

    I was going to try to carry more bags of trash outside but decided I hurt far too much.  If I had a volunteer or two to help I might have tried but who cares.  No one offered & I refuse to beg.  Either you care or you don't.  Can do them next week.  Maybe I will feel better.

    This weekend is Mill Fest at the Old Mill.  On friday they have kids from dozens of schools visiting & seeing many displays of activities.  I cannot work that day.  No parking.  No lunch out & no work.  On saturday they turn the Old Mill on ----- loud, building totally shakes, etc.  No kids allowed in.  Too dangerous.  All the belts & gears are open to the air.  They used to make flour but quit years ago.  Too much work to clean up.  We do sell flour from a different mill.  And now our pancake mix.  Wish I could get there on saturday to just sit & listen to the musical groups we have.  But.  Again.  No parking.  Cannot walk that far to get there.  Always miss.  Always.  Maybe should hire someone to drive & pick me up when done.  Might try that.

    My left leg is killing me today.  Knee & ankle severe pain.  I put on some pain patches.  Not helping.  Trying what I use as pain med.  Hope it helps.  Not one of my doctors will give me anything for pain.  Nice of them.  Was better when I napped.

    No cats for supper.  They were awake late this afternoon.  Maybe napping under the house.  I got brave & picked up one kitten this noon.  Not a happy camper but sooo sweet!!!

    Photos are flowers & local photos I have taken.  Nothing special.

These are near to the Methodist Church.

Nico on guard duty.  Lordy I miss him.

Nico all curled up for a nap.

Willie.  Miss him more every day.  Need to fix his grave flowers.  Have some new ones.

28 september, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    Still great sleeping weather.  Love the cool nights.  Last night was 53F.  The high today was 79F.  Just add some rain now & then it would be perfect.

    Sat outside with Nico this morning.  So nice.  Had a great breeze.  Tonight I was going to sit outside with Nico & I got suddenly covered with mosquitos. Twenty or more!!  Yikes!!!  When I came in & sat down, I quickly killed 3 on me.  Yuck.  Hope that is it.  Hate to sit in the house covered with bug repellent.  Smells so nasty.

    I hope my family is ok in Florida.  I would have left the state 2 weeks ago.  I am not brave.  And swimming is not something I excel at.  Watching CNN.  Showing a fire station.  Water almost half way up on the trucks.  Firemen are wading in deep water.  They cannot drive the trucks but are still trying to help those who need to be helped.  The photos are just awful.  The one reporter was in a parking lot that was originally concrete & full of cars.  Now it is empty of all cars & sand covers all the concrete.  The beach moved from the beach to the lot.

    The mayor of NYC insulted the entire state of Kansas today.  How rude.  It is fine to beat your own drum but no need to slam others when you do not know anything about them.  He thinks he is so special.  He came off as snotty.  Kansas people are much nicer than he is.

    Today was a work day.  So glad to be there.  Nice to see everyone.  I finally got done with the Grasshopper school & started a new one.

    I am not well today.  I feel ok but my blood sugar is scary high.  Over 400.  Why?  Stayed like that over night.  Again, why?  I left work early to call my doctor.  They were to give him or his PA my message.  Never got a call back.  Nice.  I may be looking for a new doctor.  I checked before supper & it came down to a little over 300.  Maybe I am trying to get some kind of illness.  That can screw your sugars up.  But my vital signs have been ok.  I am not happy.  My bestie is worried & not happy either.  He was caring.  Nice for me.

    Supper at Jalisco's.  I skipped ice cream for me.  😧  They were rather slow tonight.  People watching the hurricane?  Strange.

    Photos are of one of my fave places, The Scheme.  Need to go back again.  The best pizza!  And such a nice atmosphere.
