06/2025 Torsdag the 05th - JOURNEY

 



Today's Name Day:  Bo

    Another cancelled day.  But finally my blood sugars are more normal.  Finally.  Plan to work tomorrow.  Will eat out at lunch for sure.  Supper maybe not.  See how I feel.  Time to take care of me as much as I can.  No one else has time or will take the time.  I know that MM is always there for me.
    Weather was ok.  Partly cloudy with a high of 75.  Heavy rains forecast for southern Kansas where there is still lots of flooding.  While we sit here with hardly any rain & in drought conditions.  Salina is 2-3 inches below normal.  Rest of the state are above normal.  Awful for us.  Right now there is a tornado in NW Kansas.  And huge hail,
    Did not get much sleep last night.  No clue why not.  Slept this morning.  After lunch I shampooed my hair.  The water never bothered my glucose sensor.  Love the the extra tape over it.  I feel more secure.  Had some new shampoo & conditioner.  Smells good & hair feels nice.
    Only a photo from CF.  Nothing more.  MM texted.  He is feeling better.  I am relieved.  Texted with LL about work.  Be great to be back.
    I need to drive to my mailbox.  Probably not much in it.
    Photos are mostly flowers.






This was in my yard a few summers ago.  We are rarely wet enough for muchrooms anywhere.


Soon.  Wheat is turning.

Today's Name Day:  Erhard, Gotthard

    A much better day.  BS are manageable.  I never bottomed out.  I sensed it was coming so I ate something.
    Slept good.  Got cool overnight.  I sleep better then.  Today was in the 70s.  No strong winds.  Nice out.  Rain starts tomorrow.  I hope.  I am trying not to be hopeful.  Tired of disappointment.
    After lunch I took a short nap.  Cinder had to give up her fave sleeping place so I could lay down.  So kind of her!!!  BS was high when I got up but shortly after it was dropping.  So I had a snack.  Worked good.
    Supper was at Pizza Hut.  I wanted my salad I missed on sunday being sick.  And I figured Jalisco's would be busy today.  Pizza Hut was not busy.  Lots of carry out business.  Love their salad!
    Then groceries at White's.  I was low on things I eat.  They were busy.  After there we went to Dollar General for extra meat for me that I like better.  And we each had an ice cream sandwich.  Yummy!
    Home to greet my kits.  They still have some food but wanted more.  Soon I will get fresh food.
    Been talking to CF often.  He seems like the old  CF.  I hope so.  Think he is better being here.
    I stopped at my friend LN's house to photograph his poppies that are blooming.  They are so beautiful!!  I almost missed them last year but not this year.  I will take more on wednesday.  Will share tomorrow.
    Photos tonight are a mix.
Taken tonight at LN's house.

National Be an Angel Day

Today we are encouraged to do good deeds and kindness to others. By supporting those in need and inspiring others to do kindness, we display an act of an angel here on earth.


Today's Name Day: Henrietta, Henrika


    I have had a better day.  Even though sleeping is a challenge.  I had a short nap this morning & again after lunch.  Taking a pill tonight to help me sleep.  So frustrating.

    My pain is much better.  I can eat ok.   Not tried a cookie or Swedish candy yet.  Will wait until saturday or friday night.

    I changed my mind & want to have lunch with LL tomorrow  but she must be busy.  Too bad.  I sure miss her.  See her tomorrow.

    Cinder has been outside all day.  On the porch. But she keeps looking out in the yard.  Wonder why.  She has her eyes on something.  I suppose I will have to carry her inside later.  Lilla buse!!!  (Swedish -- little brat!  Good to have Swedish friends.  I often can learn things.)

    Last night of the DNC.  Good to feel joyful & hopeful for a change.

    Weather warnings for saturday & sunday.  Super hot again  Hopefully this is the last of it.  I am sick of summer.  Last night there was quite a lightning storm here.  I do not think we had rain.  Or not much.  Of course.  Maybe rain again tonight.  Maybe.  Hope I sleep through it.

    I finally felt good enough to shampoo my hair.  Nice to look human again!!!  Have some new products.  Tried one out today.  Two more coming,

    I bought a couple of dresses but they are too long.  Dang.  Decided to wear one tonight. Love it.  Should have both of them shortened.

    Photos are nothing special.  And one of me.  Wish I looked that good,  Fun.

Natioinal Black Cat Appreciation Day!

Used to have a gorgeous black cat come visit.  I think from our neighbours.  But not seen him for a long time now.  He & Cinder got along ok.


Today's Name Day:  Valter, Verner


    I am feeling better today.  I have no appetite so not eating healthy or good but I do not get sick when I eat.  Still very tired but woke up at a normal time today.  Well, normal for me!!!

    Cinder stayed close to me last night & this morning.  She went out after my lunch.  Back in now.  I like her inside.  Like having both cats near.  Think Cinder knows when I do not feel up to par.  She is in the minority,

    During the night for some unknown reason my right hand started hurting.  I had severe pain on all sides of my hand & my wrist,  Today I slathered it with pain cream & covered with my heating pad.  Might have helped some.  Tonight my left hand has some pain also.  Mostly around my thumb joint,  There is always something.

    Spent some time playing with photos.  I enjoy doing that.  Added a new app.  It is sooo cool.  Does things my other ones do not do.

    In looking for photos to use I came across a photo I am not sure I was meant to see.  From a couple of years ago.  Won't say who posted it, but it is cruel &  upsetting.  Sorry to see it again.  Why are people cruel

    TV sucks on the weekend.  Watching Expedition Unknown..  Probably seen most of them but still better than other shows or sports.  Not enough soccer or rugby on.

    My diabetic doctor's office called yesterday.  They had lab results to read to me.  Thyroid is ok.  No change in meds there,  And my A1C is the lowest I have ever had.  That is great.  A1C shows how your blood sugar readings were in the last 2 months.  You can try to lie but it does not work.  Made my day.

    Pretty much decided to quit ordering meals online.  If I miss telling them I do not want a set of meals for whatever time period, then they pick for you & send out.  I did not quite understand that.  I am thinking.  I have a couple of times cancelled.  But decided it is too much trouble.

    There is a commercial on the channel I am watching where they are showing potato chips & singing the typical soccer song that fans sing.  They are showing when the Premier League starts on TV.  Sure puts me in the soccer mood.  Today at the college was the soccer alumni match.  I did not go.  Not up to it & too hot & stuffy.  Humidity tonight is 76%.  Awful.

    People were quiet today.  Got emails from one friend.  And  JS is on vacation so he is sending videos all day.  We did have a long conversation yesterday.  I am glad he is having some no work or work at home time.  He never has time for himself to just relax,  Videos are cool.  At an aquarium now.  Huge place!!

    I love seeing people I care about having fun times but it is also diffcult for me.  I never get fun times anymore.  What I would not give to visit some place fun.  Even just to drive & sight see.  But since I am always the driver, I really cannot see much.  I can remember my cousin complaining about always being the driver due to her husband not being able to drive.  Now I understand  I never realised that there was a time limit on fun. I am past my end date.  My boss & I do have plans to go shopping for wheat weavings & lunch out.  Times with her are always fun.  But hard to get away.   At the Mill we have sold all the wheat weavings we had.  Someone came in & bought all we had!  Adding a photo of wheat weaving.

    Photos are just ones I played with or liked.

                            


Two best friends sleeping together.  Nico is really missed here.



I took this photo.  Called henbit.

I took this of a small pile of leaves then used my new app on it.

I took this photo on Main Street of a dala horse,  The first car seen is my old car.

New app does not do a good job on me!!! Hahaha!!
