National Park Service Founders Day

This is my favorite national park in Utah, Bryce Canyon.


Today's Names Day: Louise, Lovisa


    I had a good day.  Did not get the best sleep but got a nice nap.  I was really tired when I got home tonight,  Now running very late blogging,. 

    Supper was at Pizza Hut.  I had pasta & breadsticks.  I ate one breadstick & most of my pasta.  And feel ok.  Good.

    Very hot again today.  Saw 103F in my car driving.  Still forecasting 100+ for tomorrow. Then starts to cool,  Rain on late wednesday & thursday.  One weather showed next week highs in the 70s???  Believe when I see it.  Would be heaven.

    Then JR got some groceries.  I just got some deviled eggs.  Been wanting them while I was sick.

    Then I needed fuel,  Went to my usual place.  It refused my 2 credit cards & my brothers.  Sheesh.  I gave up,  Went to the other place.  Now all their pumps you must go in to prepay before using,  No credit cards.  Then when getting fuel you cannot see how much is going in.  I was not very happy.  I was hurting in my back & not in the mood to walk around,

    Just went to get Cinder in.  Why can she not just walk in??  Not in the mood to wait on her,  Maybe she likes being carried!!!

    Photos are of flowers.  I think I took them all.  I will see.

                                







In my pasture today.

National Peach Pie Day

I would kill for a piece of peach pie!!! 😄


Today's Name Day: Bartolomeus


    I had sort of a day of rest or doing nothing too active.  And once I fell asleep last night I sure slept sound.  I never woke up until noon today!!  Need to set my alarm.  I never took a nap  today.  But I kept busy.

    I had my leftover meatballs for lunch.  Soo good.  Added some bread, chips, & a pudding cup.  Good meal,

    I spent the afternoon catching up on my emails.  I was really behind.  Then I caught up on my genealogy.  Still have a little bit more.  Ignored it when I did not feel well,  And I added some new people.  I have one relative who changed his last name from Holm to Engberg.  No one knows why.  Or those who dead are long dead.  Engborg is not a family name.  I am at the point of hiring someone to search for me.  The curiosty is killing me!  And others.  And there was one family that a son was missing.  Never met him or know him like the others in his family.  But I knew he was on FB.  So looked him up & got photos of him, his wife, & daughter.  And the daughter's wedding.  Cool!!!

    Soup was for supper.  Always good & healthy. Almost out so I have more coming soon.

    Cinder went out at noon & never saw her again or even heard her.  She must have been sleeping somewhere in the heat.  We hit 104F.  Day #15 this month.  Most in the state.  Aren't we blessesd????  😞

    Just out.  Cinder was now waiting.  But I got tired of waiting on her to come in on her own.  But she is getting easier to hold.  She almost hugs me.  She is learning.

    I calleld JS this evening.  We had a great long chat.  So good to hear him & see him.  I really miss him.  I caught him up on every one here.  And someone that lived here & ate with me in Jalisco's several times a week.  Glad she is here visiting.   So he had questions about her life.  And he caught me up on his life and work.   And the flowers he has planted. .  I never wrote or called to tell him I was sick for 9 days.  I was just too tired to care about life in general.  So he pointed out that he wants me to let him know anytime I am not well.  He is in the minority..  I must try harder.

    Watching a 30 minute show on TV about a community organization about giving back to others.  They filmed it with an app that adds little white dots like star dots or snow or bugs or something.  Just looks odd.  I have a couple of apps that do that but I would not them on something serious.  Oh well, just on for noise.  Waiting for the nightly news.

    We have 2 astronauts stuck in space.  And the have decided they stay until february.  And 8 day trip is now many months long,  I would be really scared I would not get home.

    Hopefully tomorrow is the last day of the dome of heat.  They better not be lying to us.  Or we ride at dawn!!! 😄. Today Medicine Lodge Kansas was the hottest place in the entire USA. at 115F actual temp not just the "feels like".

    Now time for my spanish lesson.  I am really good at reading my lessons.  Wish I had a friend who spoke spanish & would ask me for coffee or lunch to just speak in spanish.  That would help.  And I always wanted one of the swedish speaking people I know to ask me the same thing but never happened & never will..  They all have their own groups of friends & I am not part of any such group.  I can only dream.  I surely hope my next life here is better.  Surely cannot get worse.

    Photos are all autumn related.  I am ready!!!

International Friendship Day

I am proud to have many friends in other countries --- Sweden, Morocco, Nigeria, Mexico, Finland, Spain, Canada. Plus many friends here who are from other countries.   They all add to my life.


Today's Name Day: Algot


    Another quiet day at home.  Had little sleep & a poor nap, Thanks to Cinder who kept bothering me.  I will survive!

    I did manage to shampoo my hair & style it.  Either that or call in sick to work tomorrow!!  Just need to decide what to wear.  Anything will be too warm.  Up to at least 100+ today.  Felt like 110.

    Super hot again tomorrow & chance of severe storms.  See how it plays out.

    I had a really yummy supper meal.  Small pieces of chicken & pasta in a garlic sauce.  I will definitely order again,  I still have no appetite so hard to eat it all.  But did manage a cookie too.  Needed the carbs.

    Today was just the best day ever!!!  My friend AA got discharged from the hospital & is back home! He had a video that brought tears to my eyes showing him leave the hospital..  Seeing him with his fiance was awesome.  He is staying with his mom for now.  And is in isolation for 2 months.  Whatever to keep him safe!!!  I hope to see him sometime this week.  Been too long!!!

    Cinder is out. Even though too hot.  I keep checking on her.  When it is bedtime I will call her but nothing. Then I get ready.  When I get back to the door she is there.  Takes her a while to decided if to come in or not.

    Photos are nothing special.  Mostly ones I have edited for fun.

15 july, 2022 Wandering

 


    Here were are for the next 10 days!  We had a brief shower over night with lots of lightning.  Got up around 8am & it was 88F with 100% humidity.  The humidity went down to the 30% all day.  That helped.  At 3pm it was 103F at my house.  When I went to Lindsborg around 430pm it was 106F.  Delightful day.  The next 10 days are just the same.  Hot with no rain.  No break.
    I slept so-so last night.  Did move to the sofa for a while then back to bed.  A short rest this afternoon.
    I was going to curl my hair today but just do not care.  No one notices it anyway.  I took the easy way out to just relax.
    Jalisco's was sort of busy.  But the crew were friendly & I needed that.  JS was texting to me often while I was there.  So ornery!  Then he would watch & laugh!!  Just not there often enough.  Had a different meal tonight.  Pretty good.  I get stuck & only order one thing for a long time.
    I have myself in a position I do not like.  And no back bone to change things.  No one else can help. Poo.  The longer it goes on the worse I feel.  Like I do not have enough stress in my life.  Need therapy again but who to go to.  Hate to start all over & talk about all the crap in my life over the years.  Just cannot do that again.  And no one else wants to hear it either.  Feel like I am stuck between a rock & a hard place.
    I have an app that has all sorts of info on it including meditation.  I did one last night in bed.  Maybe it will help.  Maybe.
    Photos are just flowers.  Most not mine.
