Historical Stave church in Norway.

Today's Name Day:  Alfhild, Alva

    Cancelled today.  Pain & no sleep.  Cancelled tomorrow also.  But I have terrible guilt feelings. Today is JR's birthday.  I feel like I am not snapping back to normal since my accident.

    Had a severe weather warning.  I had some mail to bring in from my porch.  I had just sat down there when the wind suddenly surged at a severe speed blowing dirt & trash.  Hard to see down my drive.  Scared me.  Barely got back indoors & it was over.  There was huge hail & heavy rains in this area but I got nothing.

    I took a nice nap with Cinder cuddling me.  Now both cats are sleeping near me.

    Had texts from MM & a text or two from JR.

    My artist friend who just went back home to Iowa posted the paintings from his show at the Red Barn, just for me since I missed his show.  I saved them all just for me.  I really liked one of his.  I sure miss him when he is gone.

    Last night I forgot to take my insulin at supper.  By the time I remembered it was far too late to take it.  My night was much better.  Blood sugar did not vary too much.  Skipped it again tonight.  See how my night is.

    Photos tonight are mostly autumn ones.  I love autumn colors.  They are my colors.

Today's Name Day:  Raoul, Rolf

    Had a good day.  Slept fair.  Less low blood sugar.  Lowered my insulin one unit today.  See if that helps.

    Started raining this morning.  I had an umbrella in the car.  Never got closed so when I tried to grab on to it it got stuck.  I had to walk around the car to get it but then the door would not unlock.  As I turned to walk back around my foot go caught on a branch &  almost fell.  Scared me really bad.  If the umbrella had been put away the right way it would not have happened.  Damn.

    I was late getting to work.  And stressed.

    RA ruled today.  Had a new pain never had before.  😱. Walking was a challenge.

    Made great strides on my photos.  I sent two photos to people they were taken of.  Heard from one of them.  Fun.  It used to be a "thing" that when you traveled you took a copy of the local newspaper & then took a photo of you reading it on vacation.  That is what all these photos are of.  People, places, newspapers.  It is not done anymore.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  I had shrimp again.  Very good but too many fries.  Dessert was ice cream.  I will hate when they close for winter again.  But now the drive through is open maybe they could stay open some.  Hamburgers are good & so is the ice cream.

    Jalisco's is now ready to open tomorrow.  Tables & chairs were moved in today.  I won't make it there until friday.  I am anxious!!

    Photos are flowers, winter, etc.

A piece of beauty I have on my desk at work.

 

08/2025 - Viernes the 22th - JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Henrietta, Henrika

Knew a Henrietta who was a neighbour & mother of a good friend.

    Had a very good day after an awful night. I went to bed & then I could not find my glucose sensor reader.  I searched the entire house more than once.  It was nowhere.  I was sure that when my blood sugar got too high or too low & then it would beep.  No beep all night.

    After I was dressed for lunch I called the company who makes my sensor to order a new one.  They were super nice & one is on the way.  Be here in 5 days.  Right after we said goodbye I heard my sensor beep softly.  It was somewhere in the bedroom.  Never found it.

    Then I got home tonight after supper I went to take a nap & then I saw it.  Nap never happened.  Could not relax. Cinder did cuddle with me.  I have changed my sensor.  It has to sit for one hour before it works,  Now up & blogging & waiting.

    Lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  Got a table which is always nice.  Good visit.  Most of the kids who came in ordered then left.

    Then I worked at the SVAFC.  I was a bit tired, but kept busy.  Visitors were sort of steady.  Lots of kids walking by but not coming in.  One lady did come in who knew our artist.  We had a great conversation.

    There was a huge bouquet of wildflowers on the desk in the gallery,  I will have photos of it tomorrow.  I see no flowers anywhere near where I live.  Sad.  No photos for me then.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  Did not know any of the workers.  But they all were nice.  I had the shrimp basket with potato wedges.  Next time just curly fries.

    Weather was a bit warm.  Cooler on sunday.  I hope.

    Photos are more flowers.  They are again from the Rosberg House a few years ago.  They all got replanted this summer.  I hope to get some new photos soon.

I sure miss my baby.  The pain never stops.
