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 art I created.

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

National Football Hangover Day 

Today's Name Day:  Evelina, Evy

    Today was a cancelled day & a jammie day.  Have had trouble with my blood sugar since the end of last week.  And now my glucose tablets are causing me to be sick to my stomach.  I felt crappy all last night & got little sleep.  Even Cinder deserted me.  😠  Next time I got low will eat some real food.  Better than a sick stomach.

    I had a lunch date.  I hated to cancel.  I really looked forward to it.  With a good friend at a new place.  But right after I wrote my cancel text I felt worse.  I just gave up.

    I slept all day.  I was careful what I ate for lunch & just now for supper.  Better day eating wise.  Again, Cinder abandoned me & went outside.  Nice day for her.

    It was cold last night but not too bad today.  I was out briefly to get some mail..  Felt nice.  Cold again tonight.  Snow on friday, so they say.  Time will tell.

    Photos are ones from my memories today.  My photos are described.

                            

Me waiting to board my train in Gävle Sweden.  Gävle is where the giant julbock is located.   Wish we had trains in this country.  So cool.

Heart made by a cousin many years ago.  She is an adult mom now.  It is always in my car.

My neighbour's barn.  Love it.  I have taken dozens of photos of it.

National Umbrella Day

Today's Name Day: Iris

    Another so-so day.  Cinder slept on me all night.  On me!!  We both slept pretty good.  I did wake up once with a headache.  Took some tylenol & it went away.

    When we got up for lunch, Cinder went outside.  Came in briefly & back out.  I napped alone today.  😞

    When I was getting ready to out for supper my blood sugar bottomed out.  I took some glucose pills then I got nauseated.  Plus I was shaking pretty hard, almost violently.  I cancelled going anywhere.  Eventually I got to feeling better, that just takes the life out of me.  Damn.  I had my mouth set on salmon for supper & ice cream.  No bueno.

    Next to no texts today.  A few this evening.  People are too busy.  Even if they love me.

    I could not get my crap laptop to charge yesterday.  It kept telling me to plug it in somewhere with more power.  I left it plugged in all night & it was charged this morning.  I hate windows products.  I get my new one back soon.  Thank goodness.  I want it back so bad.

    Cold today & tomorrow.  Rain/snow south of us.  May not affect us here.  We were in the 20s last night.

    Photos today are sort of cozy ones.

    Today is Leif Erikson Day.  Here long before anyone else.  I never mention the "holiday" that tomorrow is.

    I had a much better day today.  I slept more & would have slept more time if Nico had quit barking at god knows what.  He made it sound like Godzilla was in our yard!

    I lost a bit of sleep when I felt sick around 2am.  I checked my blood sugar & it was scary low!!  So I ate some stuff & then all was ok.  Thought I ate enough for supper.  So far ok today.

    JR & I had lunch at Jalisco's.  It was very slow then got really busy.  There was a class reunion in town this weekend & thought maybe some of them would eat in there.  I did not see anyone.

    Lunch was a struggle for me.  My stomach did not feel well.  I only could eat half of my burrito.  Ice cream was better.  I was going to have JR come here to help me move some things but I was too tired.  Nico slept as long as I did too!

    I sat outside for quite a while.  Nico sunbathed while Cinder gave us both attention!  It was so nice out until I saw a mosquito.  Then in I went.  Our temps were 43F & 76F.  Local weather said maybe rain on monday.  Quite doubtful.  Next 2 days too warm.  Hope they are wrong.

    Watching a tv show about Cleopatra.  Quite interesting.  Better than network shows.  Nice to learn something new.  Or somethings new.

    Photos today are autumn & several with coffee.

    Slept good with no pain.  A major miracle.  Cool sleeping weather.  Our temps were 53 & 79.  Near perfect.

    Not a word about being stood up for lunch yesterday.  Nada.  I am just at the end of my rope.  I am tired of people asking me to do something or meet them & then it never happens.  I almost to the point of not caring at all.  Does not seem fair to me in any way.

    My blood sugars are normal.  It is so exciting!  And scary.  Never taken so much insulin in my life!!  I usually share with my grandson but have not today.  Wish he would contact me with just a photo.  Or his sugars.

    Supper was good.  Our friend PM is around my age.  He said that he enjoys talking about "old times & people" from our youth.  I enjoy those talks too.  Not all who we remember are still here.  Good to have someone to remember with.

    A good friend who recently moved very far away is back here for her class reunion.  Saw her tonight.  And got to meet her sister.  She is a couple years older than Willie so we were not in school together.

    Last time at Jalisco's I learned a new sentence in spanish.  And I remembered it tonight!!  I am proud of me!!  There is a tiny bit of hope.

    My brother shared some things I did as a child.  Whether I did them all or not, I always got blamed & punished all the time.  Probably where my karma comes from.  I remember very little of my childhood.  What I remember most are things where I was alone or with neighbour kids.  Family memories are very rare.  Even the large family gatherings.  I never fit in.  All my cousins were too young for me.  And I was too young for the adults.  I sat alone.  If I tried to play as the other kids I got yelled at.  Wrong again.  And generally not pleasant for me.  No wonder my life is as it is.  Karma is no fun.  I used to pray for forgiveness for all I had done but nothing ever changed.  I gave it up.

    Nico is too busy tonight.  When I am gone he sleeps.  But he is being good.  For a change!!  

    Photos today are from the front porch of the Old Mill.  Very autumn looking.  The first two photos are just two I like from a while ago.
