6/2026 - Tuesday the 30th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Leif , Elof

I only know of a Swedish explorer name Leif.  Did have a family in town with the last name of Leaf.

    Today has been nothing but trouble.  I just do not deserve so much trouble.

    I could not sleep at all last night.  I was calm.  I laid quiet.  But no sleep.  I had an appointment I knew I could not sit through that tired.  I called in sick,  I will have to pay for it but I just don't care.  Guilt feelings for taking care of me.

    Usually when my alarm goes off Cinder comes running.  Not today.  Not normal.  I fed Daisy & ready to feed me.  I called & called for Cinder.  She finally showed up.  Really scared me.  Especially when I have no clue how old she is.

    Had trouble with my phone & laptop.  Google would not work.  I had no internet to start with.  Got it turned back on.  Did not help.  I could not blog to save my life.  I gave up.  Finally tonite it works.  And so does my phone.

    Then my mail came.  I had nothing to drink here so I ordered juice & sodas.  And it was all heavy!!!  As I am trying to get it in the house, Daisy is trying to get in the house also.  I finally managed.  I have drinks that are all in the house.  Need some in the fridge too.

    Been watching soccer today.  Missed one match that had the winner I wanted.  Then I saw Sweden lose to France.  Dang.  Now Mexico is on.  They should win I think.  Mexico has scored 2 goals close to each other.

    Early this morning the weather said there was lightning near me.  But nothing happened.  And that line of clouds were there all day.  Severe in the west.  See if we get anything.  Nothing on the radar now any where.  All gone.  It was very hot again today.  Over 90F & strong winds again.

Norway won.

Sweden lost 3-0.

                                                                           

       

03/2026 - Torsdagen den 12:e - MY JOURNEY

I love what this says.  I know this to be true.  At my cousin's house I took photos of one of the bushes there & a cool table on the porch.  Her kids were clueless.  Never seen them.  And they walked by them weekly.  Carry a camera or your iPhone & you will see lots of things others miss.

Today's Name Day:  Victoria

I have known a Vickie or two.  The only Victoria I know of is the Crown Princess of Sweden.  She becomes queen after her father steps down.  She will be a good queen.

    

    I have had better days.  I felt good yesterday but last evening I started feeling bad.  And it got worse.  I had increased pain & lots of anxiety.  No idea about the anxiety.  And little sleep.  But I got a phone call today that caused me some anxiety.  Maybe I knew inside it was coming.  Nothing awful just changes in family life.

    Cinder must have sensed I felt ill.  She stayed with me all night.  Usually she snuggles to my chest but last night she was next to my legs.

    I cancelled today.  Just did not have it in me especially with pain & no sleep.

    I started a medication & I think it might be working.  Yesterday I had less pain.  And walking the basement steps were a bit easier.  And my feet are still swollen & feel better. I have hope.  I have taken it 5 times.  I feel better after it then that fades.  Hopefully that fading with stop.

    I was going to carry some trash bags outside but our winds have been up to 50mph.  I needed to feed the feral cats & get me a diet coke.  I could barely walk just on the porch.  Yikes!!!  Scary.  No way I could walk out to the trash bins.  Need to have one moved up to my car port.  The trash guys can move it back out to empty.  I have to go back out to gather mail that has come.  What fun!!!

    We still have no CBS here.  Idiots.  Fighting with the who they are in business with.  JR found me an app that streams what is on CBS.  It was a mess to get it running but is great.  Got caught up on my soap operas.  And Colbert.  It is on my iphone & my laptop.  Cool!!!  Then I switched to the live news but too depressing.  Switched to soccer from Europe.  I might use it for that a lot.  I saw 2 matches.  Fun!!!  They were Madrid & Portugal.

    I got my spanish lessons done just now.  One of the sentences they had said "I don't like my president!"  What a surprise!!  They have used a combination of 3 words that can say either I like or I don't like.  Easy.  MA & I talked about it last night.  I learn things that many Mexicans don't use.  He had other ways to say those.

12 november, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

 National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day

Today's Name Day is Kristian

    I was not able to blog yesterday.   Sorry.  I got little to no sleep Friday night.  I cried most of the night over Nico.   I have so many guilt feelings that my poor choices is causing him to be ill & to die.

    Then I got word that MM was much worse.  Had had been sick for 3 days ---- severe pain, throwing up, no food, no meds.  He went to the ER in town.  Then they transferred him by ambulance to Salina.  That was the last straw.   KW took the kids to Wichita to their grandma & I went to the hospital to sit with MM.   The two little ones greeted me with hugs & love you's before leaving..  At least 5 times.   Sure needed those!!

    I just could not function last night to do anything.   I managed my Spanish lesson so I do not lose how many lessons I have done.  Guess it does not matter but that was all I did.

    No sleep last night.  On Saturday my hip quit hurting.  I was able to walk to the ER with ease.  And later back to my car.

    Went to bed.  Hip pain again & no sleep.  I cancelled today.  In pain, hard to walk, &  super depression.

    I should have forced myself to at least eat out tonight.  But I just did not have it in me.  I want to see MM so bad but KW  is with him & they both write me often.

    I tried to nap today but could not.  I changed the blanket on the sofa which is nice.  I spent the afternoon editing photos & sorting photos I have.  It was sort of relaxing.  Did not cook for supper but that is ok.  Just for me so what does it matter.  If I lived in town I could have ordered in.  If I just had someone who could bring me food but god forbid there be someone for me.  I have only me to depend on.  Refused to ask KW.  Too far to drive.   It is really tough to lose most family & have few friends.   Alone is not good or fun.   And, of course, no one but MM offered help.  No one else for me.

    Weather is ok.  We had a little rain yesterday morning.  Did not get much but it smelled nice.

    Tonight I set up a new diffuser.  I am using the essential oil Autumn Eternity Blend.  Smells nice.

    This afternoon I was a long program about Normandy & all the new information that they are finding.  Very interesting.

    I apologize for whining about my life.  I try to stay quiet.  I learned fast that when Willie died I became invisible to all of his friends.  That has not changed.  Nor will it.  And with several chronic diseases,  your learn fast that no one cares or wants to know.  So I try to keep quiet.  In the car yesterday on the way to the hospital. I actually did some yelling.  😵  Needed to do that!!  Have to do that more often!!!  Hope no one could read my lips!!

    Photos are mostly from out here.  Might be an odd one or two.  I will try to be in a better mood tomorrow.
