10/2025 - Miércoles the 15th - MY JOURNEY

I think the White Peacock need sparklers for some of their drinks.  What fun that would be!!!

Today's Name Day:  Hedvig, Hillevi

I had a great aunt who died after living a month or two.  Buried in Lindsborg.  Sad.

      Almost had a good day.  My depression was awful.  LL was far too busy with more important people/things than me.  Guess that is ok.  But I had something I really wanted to share with her & she cut me off & never asked any more.  Will forget it.  Does not matter.

    Had a good & fun chat with AP.  He seemed glad to see me & asked how I was feeling.  Made me feel good inside.

    MM texted me a few times.  He has a trip planned soon & said he would make sure we would lunch before he leaves.  Going to tell him to forget about me.  Work & pack & enjoy his trip.  We can meet when he gets back.

    I am working this friday but leaving early.  Depression is bad.  Just want to go home & no supper out.  Want to ignore hellfest.  No one cares if I miss it or not.  No one to help me get there & then home again.  Will try to ignore it.

    I had no intention seeing Lindsborg all ready for hellfest.  But today Main St. is already mostly shut off.  I never wanted to see that.  I almost cried at supper.  Made me talk too much.  Poor JR was probably bored out of his head.  Who cares what I have to talk about.

    Supper was at Pizza Hut.  Had a new waiter.  He was really sweet & nice.  Made my day after being ignored earlier.  

    Warmer today.  Around 83 for a high.  Same tomorrow.

    Got a new cup to drink out of at my desk.  For tea & had a lid.  Very nice.  Like it.  Keeps bugs/flies/gnats out of my drink.  Saw a mosquito in the car. And one near my porch.  Put a sticker on my should to make sure I do not get bit.  Maybe none made it in.

    Almost finished the photos I was working on.  Just a few left.  Tired of these.  Hope the next batch is more fun.

    I thought of something to share with LL but will wait until way after hellfest.  Think she is too busy tonight.  Dang.   And I am less than important.

    Photos are mostly seasonal.  Nothing special.

   

Me at work today.

Nico

Kisse, I think

End of the sunset tonight.  I did some editing.  It was beautiful

Today's Name Day:  Bodil, Boel

    I am not having a good day.  I am not happy.  I had a fun day planned.  Ended early.

    Slept ok but woke up with a bad headache.  When I changed out of my jammies I totally wrenched my back getting clothes back on.  Lots of pain & hard to walk.

    Worse is I feel like I am getting a cold.  Cough.  Hard to breathe.  Total paranoia about "surgery" on wednesday,  And scared.  I do not want to cancel.  DO NOT.

    Soooooo.  I cancelled eating out & going to hear my fave artist talk again about his art.  Will text him later.

    I took pain pills that are not helping as much as I want.  I am using 2 essential oils very often.  They are Thieves & Immunity.  Plus one called Breathe.  Hope they stop whatever is trying to make me sicker.

    Back better but headache worse.  FML.

    I gave up on my coats I bought this year.  The larger one is super warm & too huge.  Dang.  The smaller one is too small.  I can wear a tee shirt but no more.  Hard to get on & off.  I always wear a sweater cardigan but no bueno.  Last night I picked a coat with no hood in the larger size  Hopefully that will be the one.  Comes today sometime.

    Got to feel ok tomorrow.  Laptop goes in to be worked on & I need to go to Hutch to sign papers.  I can nap in the car after that if necessary!!!

    Got cold last night & 32F now.  The house is cold.  Turned the heat up a bit.  See if that helps.

    Wintery photos.

Today's Name Day:  Anna

A special name to me.  Have a cousin in Sweden named Anna.

    I switched up my plans for today. I decided to cancel my trip to Hutchinson since it’s trash day. I nearly overlooked it, but then I thought better of it. Now all the trash is out in the bins.

    Slept well last night, but I'm still dealing with my usual aches. They get better once I start moving around.

    The weather guy actually gave me a bit of optimism for our winter. He mentioned that January and February are going to be quite chilly, and he’s predicting anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of snow in Kansas, depending on your location. I can totally dream about that!

    Last night was super foggy! I couldn't even see the lights in KN's yard, and my shed was totally invisible. I could barely make out my own yard light. Thank goodness I wasn't out driving in that mess!

    I had a pretty good nap, but I have no clue where my cats went. They weren't in the bedroom like they usually are. They've got their secret spots to chill in.

    The pictures today are all about Christmas. The first one you see at the start of my blog is a shot I grabbed from a drone video. So cool! It would be awesome to catch something like that in person.

National Senior Citizens Day

No one wants to be elderly.  But here I am.  I love others,  I miss having family,  I enjoy being a volunteer,  & I have survived more than I can say.  But here I am.

Today's Name Day: Jon, Jonna

    I am still sickly but better.  I have lots of trouble falling asleep at night but not during the day.  Eating has been ok since yesterday noon.  That meal made me so, so sick.  I am very careful what I eat.  I read what not to eat during a flare & am following that.  Even though I can hear my cookies & Swedish candy calling my name.  So far so good.

    I must be better as Cinder is not hovering any more.  She was out until supper time today.  Now back out.  Kisse is curled next to me.  Very nice.

    Texted with one grandson. That is about it.  I did write my coworker at the Mill & told her I desperately hope to work on friday.

    Friday I have a  supper date with a good friend who is in town visiting her sister.  We used to eat out so often before she moved away.  I hope to eat with her.  I will eat if I feel I can.  Or.  Just go hungry until I get home.  I truly want to be back to my normal.

    Weather was ok.  My indoor/outdoor weather gauge has quit.  Probably needs a new battery.  Guess I will survive for a couple of days.  Or maybe Cinder knocked it to the ground outside.  Have not checked.

    We have weather warnings for this cominig weekend.  Super hot again & humid.  Oh, joy.  😞

Supposedly this is the last of super hot weather.  Temps will be cooling off.  So they say.  Due to the hot forecast, my photos today are snowy ones to cool me off.  And one yummy looking recipe.

National Accessible Air Travel Day

Today focuses on the need for accessible air travel for people with disabilities.  I am now one of those people, sad to say.

Today's Name Day: Bernhard, Bernt

    I am not going to blog tonight.  I am ill with an arthritis flare up.  My first bad one.  I have too many symptoms to list & things adding to my stress & anxiety.  Photos are what it coming soon here.  I hope.
