9/2026 - Friday the 4th - MY JOURNEY

Will we even get any pretty trees this year with our draught, I bet not. Sad.

Today's Name Day: Gisela

Today was a good day & last night was an ok night. I was awake until 4am or so. But I had no reason to get up early for lunch or work. Not part of the team any more.

I almost had good feelings. I saw 79F last night. This morning was in the 80.Fs. Ha. Afternoon temps were 104.6F. Double Ick.

Had one very short text & a longer email. Then the police chief needed someone to work this weekend but I already have plans. He is one of my fave people & it killed me to say I could not work.

I took. a nice nap after lunch,

I needed new batteries for my indoor/outdoor temp. machine. I got it & changed the batteries. But now I cannot find the nail in the tree. Called KN. He will fix tomorrow,

Now my blog will not update. Will save it somewhere so I can use it later. So far so good after I restarted my laptop.

I cut Spanish short. No patience.

No duh!

This is so cool. I remember finding these!!!

Our dog Otto. They are the best dogs,

Nico & Cinder

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.
