09/2025 - Jueves the 04th - JOURNEY

Marstrand in Sweden.  I road that blue boat back & forth between the island & mainland.  I can see where we ate lunch.  And how I got to my sleeping room. Love being here even though I lost a friendship here.  

Never made it up to the huge building on top of this island.  Steep walk.  Cannot do it.

Today's Name Day:  Gisela

    Same ole day.  Home alone with little human contact.  Still tired.  Slept good last night.  Had a short nap today.  Cinder cuddled most of last night.  Nice.

    Had a few texts from MM & CW.  Those two are such blessings to me.  Shared an AI picture of me with them.  And they talked or laughed at me over it!!!!  Email from JL.  Morning wishes from NGS.

    Stayed cool today.  Rain is now approaching western Kansas.  See if it ignores us here around my house.  Warmer & drier weather starting next week.  Warmer in the 80s as highs.

    Willl try to eat out for lunch & work tomorrow.  Cancelleld going to lunch today.  See how friday goes. 

Last friday after lunch I had my accident.  Scared to go anywhere.  I will work this weekend.  Working for someone.  Not going to take advantage of anyone this weekend.  Plus a new art show from MH.  Plus he talks about his art on sunday.

    Supper was macaroni & cheese.  Me & my plate got to the sofa & I set it down & it promptly tipped over spilling on a blanket.  Surely not my best week.  Luckily it was easy to clean up.  😱. Photo sums up my week.  IYKYK.

    Photos are some old beautiful autumn trees in Lindsborg.  Not here yet.  With our drought maybe nothing pretty this year.  I occasionally see leaves falling off trees now.

 

My family's ancestors' castle, Called Vanås..  I was there twice & walked through the gardens & had ice cream there afterwards.  The gardens are full of art everywhere.

Love this.  Only time I have seen this happen.

                                               

09/2025 - Martes the 02nd - JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Justina, Justus

Mom had a cousin Justus.

    Had a good day while out with MM.  Napped when home to help me reccover.  Since my accident my RA is much worse.  Any activity takes me some down time to recover.  And I have many new pains that come & go that I have never had before.  Wonder if I will ever be "normal" again???

    My stress has gotten so much worse.  Worries about great grandkids & MM.  Plus I have a feeling there are things from others that are not truthful to me.  No idea how to respond but I do not have good feelings about things going on, possibly behind my back.  Not sure what to do about it.  If anything.

    Picked up MM for lunch today.  Planned on going to Jalisco's.  There was not a parking spot anywhere near.  There was one around the block so we went to the Sale BARn.  Had my fave sandwhich.  It was quiet.  Wish my friend AA had been working.  He is hard to keep track of.  MM & Ih had time for a long talk.  And some goals we are working on together.  Hope it works out.

    Had a nice nap.  Both cats never saw me before I went to town.  It was early & both were sleeping.  But when I got home they both followed me to nap. Cinder curled up next to me.  Nice.  I needed her.

    I hope to work tomorrow.  I just do not make plans ahead of time.  Have to plan.

    Photos are flowers, cats, autumn.  Got pretty cool last night.  Friday is forecast to be quite cool.  Great!!!

08/2025 - Miércoles the 13th- JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Kaj

    Not a good day.  Felt better yesterday but not today.  Have increased pain & cannot stand up normally.  I cancelleld my day.  Some better tonight.  Hope that lasts.

    Not hot here yet.  Another day or two & the dome of heat returns.  No chance for rain in the next 10 days or so.

    Only had a couple of emails.  Nothing from anyone else.  😔.  Adds to my feeling of being alone & abandoned.  But people have lives that do not include me.  Best to be quiet.

    Cinder took over my cloth purse on the sofa.  She napped there all afternoon.  Kisse wanted to be there after our nap.  They stared at each other. No fight.  After supper Kisse has it. 

    TV is ok tonight.  Expedition Unknown is new.  No reruns yet.  Tired of reruns.  Exactly why I do not watch the regular networks.  During Coved they lost me for good.  Shows are all alike  ----  too violent, same stories, boring, etc.  The Expedition shows are interesting.  They take place all over the world.  And I learn things I would not know otherwise.  Tonight this show is in Turkey and digging out old cities & peoples.

    Yesterday I found some old photos of gnomes.  They are part of my photos tonight. Love gnomes.  And flowers too.
