Today's Name Day:  Denise, Dennis

Friends now with a Denise.  Very cool lady!!  My grandpa was a Dennis. Never knew him..  In school with a Dennis.

    Not up to writing much.  Sick at home today.  No need to whine.  I have rested mostly.  

    Cinder is being a brat.  Wherever Kisse loves to lay, Cinder has taken it over today.  Kisse is glaring.

    Hot today.  Saw 102F.  Glad I could stay in.  Same tomorrow.

    Photos are mostly autumn things.

Nico's favorite laying spot --- between my knees.  He did that his entire life.  Over or under coveres depending on the weather.

Nico's baby.  I buried it with him.  He always knew exactly where it was.  Sometime he would throw it in air & it would be lost.  Then I would have to find it.

In the local library.

Great Grandma with Gracie.

Great Grandma with Gracie.  I am sitting under a sky like.  Neat light shining on me.

Glad the days are getting shorter.  Closer to Sweater Weather.  😃

Love Canada.  Would be great to live in a wonderful, caring country as Canada.

Today's Name Day:  Aron, Mirjam

I had a step grandson with my son's second temporary wife named, Aaron.  No clue where he is now.  Or her.  And I don't care.  Bad time in my life.

    Another quiet day.  I ended up cancelling almost everything.  Will cancelle tomorrow also.  Will do nothing until saturday.  Feeling too sick to care.  Pain, blood sugar problems, super depressed.  Just plain tired of it all.

    Had an eye dr. appointment for thursday that was going to stop me from eating with my thursday group.  Called my dr.  They found me a better appointment.  We are lunching at the Öl Stuga.  Will not miss that. Hopefully I will feel ok.  And it is MM's first day back to work.  So happy they gave him a week off.  

    I took a nap this afternoon after little sleep last night.  JR needed help so he called when I needed to be at his house.  From there I called MM to see if he still needed me to take him grocery shopping. He did and got me a couple of things.  Including potato sallad and donuts.  😋

    MM bought us some raspberry salted licorice to try.  Swedes love salted licorice.  Well.  We are now positive we are not Swedish enough to like it.  😝

    Weather was ok today.  Saw 91F today.  No strong winds.  No rain.

    Photos are a mix.  A few I played with AI to create.  Just a time killer.

I colored this graphic.  I should do this again.  Fun app.

Only took 3 tries to get the Swedish flag like I wanted.

Found a cute way to control my cords.  Love it!

Random Acts of Poetry Day 

Today's Name Day: Love, Ludvig

    Not the. best day.  Or last night.  It was awful.  I put Cinder out around noon.  Got home from Salina around 6pm.  No Cinder.  That was odd.  I called her off & on all night.  And she never came.  I got really worried & had a major meltdown..  After losing Nico I just am not ready to lose another pet.  I sat outside & cried more than once.  And I kept calling.  And calling.  Finally around midnight Cinder was there but on the ground.  She would not come on the porch.  So I walked down to pick her up.  She did not run & let me pick her up.  And then I hoped I did not fall on the steps.  She in the house ran to sit on a table.  Ignored her food.  She acted scared.  I went to bed & she came to hide under the bed.  Wonder what has her so scared.  And why she could not come when I called her.  She finally came to bed & has not left my side since ----  all night & all day.

    My RA started flaring last night & kept getting worse.  By morning I could barely walk.  I am sure it was at least partly stress induced.  I had a lunch date & work.  I cancelled the entire day & rested.  Sad.  Would have been a fun day.  Better tonight.  Finally.  I fell asleep after lunch & had a so-so nap after being awake all night.

    Weather was ok,  Saw 45 overnight.  But upper 80s today.  And recored breaking temps this weekend..  I hate summer weather.  I hate dry weather.  Are we doing enough or even anything about our screwed up climate?????

    Not had many texts today.  But people did make nice comments on my FB posts about Cinder.  She has not asked to go out & I have not offered.  IF she asked the answer is no.

    I am about out of my V8 energy drinks.  I ordered more BUT I made an error.  Bought Red Bull.  Won't drink it.   They are dangerous.  Mess with your blood pressure & pulse.  I have enough trouble without that.

    The group that I created & run with another guy has 7,000+ members.  We have rules.  I just had someone write me to change our rules to what she wants.  Not how groups work.  Her suggestion would make my group a mess.  I am sorry she is having trouble getting help but not my problem.  If I break a rule for her then I have to for all.  Won't do it.  She can think I am a bitch & treat me like one.  It has happened before.  Won't affect me.  Start your own group.  Don't mess with mine.

    My photos are a mix of autumn, Christmas, Halloween, edited.

           National Pancake Day

I love pancakes.  But better than these are Swedish pancakes with lingonberries, butter, & whipped cream.  They are like crepes.  Mums.

Today's Name Day: Einar, Enar

    Had a so-so day.  I ended up cancelling the entire day.  Needed to take it easy & rest.  And I did.  Cinder stayed in with me & napped with me.  She just went out.  Will check on her soon.  Like she knows when I need extra support.  She is 1 in a million.

    Slept good last night.  Cinder was in & out.  Kisse was always nearby.

    Weather was ok.  Low was 51 & the high was 83.  Not a chance of rain for at least a week & a half.  The hurricane moisture gets so close to us but stays too far east.  We loose out again.  As usual.

    Heard only from MM.  No one else.  All our busy.  JR sent me the first preview of SNL of this season.  I can hardly wait!!  It looks great.  Their 50th year.  I have not watched all 50 years.  There were times I just did not care for it.  Now I never miss it.  I watched the reruns all summer.  Better than nothing.

    I found some instant peach tea so decided to try it.  It is yummy.  Glad I found it.  I order peach green tea at the White Peacock,  Usually good but never tastes the same two times in a row.  How hard can it be???

    Had burritos for supper tonight.   Good.  Corn candy for dessert.   😀  Probably have a cookie for bedtime snack.

    Photos tonight are 3 old special memories & 4 edited photos.

Bestie Pete who died several years ago.  His two dogs who loved me as much as he did.  They knew when Aunt Julie was in the house we all got people food!  Always pizza!!!  I miss the 3 of them.

Willie on the day we adopted our baby Kajsa Jo.  He sure loved her & she loved him.  I think she loved me too. She was usually in his truck with him.  Miss them both.  Life is not ending as I wished it would. We have missed out on some good years.

My babies.  I think of Nico every day.  My heart hurts so bad.

Mountain skiing village.  Love to be there.  Heaven.

Respect for Parents Day 

Photo is my brother, our dad, our mom, & me.  How I miss them & having family.  Lonely times.  I was a parent but after my 2 kids did me wrong, I had to set boundaries.  They want nothing to do with me.  And for my physical safety & emotional safety I am just fine with that.

Today's Name Day: Per

    I had a fun lunch planned but my RA flared & I had to cancel.  There is always something.  It gets old.  But too much pain for me to do anything but rest.  Tired of being alone.

    I got no sleep until this morning & then a nice nap.  But I hurt everywhere.  I hurt in places I did not know I had.  From my head to my feet I hurt. And all inbetwee.  No bueno.  😞

    The storm we had last night was much worse than it was just here.  Salina had lots of damage & loss of electricty..  Still working on getting power back on.  And the damage went on east of there.  I saw a couple of mobile homes.  Scares the shit out of me.  One lady lost all she had & said she & her kids were staying with family.  Lucky her.  I have no family to stay with or get much support from other than a grandson & my nephew.  But I cannot take advantage of them.  They have work & families.  Guess I will live in my car & hopefully with my cats.  Fun, huh???  

    I do look on the FB marketplace at houses for sale.  Maybe I should just buy one & move away.  Then a storm would hit there!!! Just my luck!!!  😱. But there are some that are not too expensive that would be ok.  Wonder how fast I can get one in an emergency.  Hopefully not in Lindsborg.  Not at home there any more.  Not part of the city.  I worry about things before they happen.  I have mentioned my worries to a couple of people.  Got almost laughed at by one person & sort of a non worried comment by the other.  Sure makes a difference how you feel when you have a your own house.  Easy to be secure.  Cannot remember that long ago.

    Stress!!  I should just take my anxiety pill daily.  Doctor would get upset but maybe I would feel better.

    Cooler today.  At my house it was 93F for a high.  And very low humidity.  Very nice.  Made Cinder happy.  She came in for lunch & back out.

    It is really odd.  Someone I have been friends with for a long time is no longer my friend.  Why?  I saw his life is a mess but I am not part of that.  Shit.  Sad.  Still friends with his parents.

    Work tomorrow.  Hope I can stagger in to the Old Mill basement.  Then I can lounge all weekend.  And hurt if I must.  Will tell no one or bother anyone.  People are to busy.    

    For photos today I chose snowy photos to help those of us stuck here under the Dome of Heat feel cooler.  Hahaha!
