2/2026 - Onsdag den 25:e - MY JOURNEY

 

I miss the Olympics soo much & seeing everyone getting along like our world should be doing.  There are some events coming up if I can see them here.  Hoping.

Today's Name Day:  Sigvard,  Sivert

    Both a good day & a bad day.  Start with the bad.  It happened first.

    I took an entire anxiety pill to sleep since I was supposed  work today.  I slept probably too sound.  Mid to a bit late night I woke up.  I just wanted to go back to sleep.  Thank my angels I did not do that.  I might not have been here then today.  I felt shaky, sweaty, dizzy, weak, just bad.  Totally out of it.  I somehow managed to check my blood sugar laying down in bed.  It was 55!!!!  😨. That is hospital visit low.  I ate something with no result.  I ate more.  Then felt a little better.  Just trying to get to the bathroom was  scary.  But I made it.  The cats just knew & surrounded me.  Both in their beds.  They are comforting.

    I was still shaking when my alarm for work went off.  I called in sick.  Cannot drive.  Too weak.  The basement steps were a scary thought.  And I feel guilty calling in.  "I want my life back.  So mote it be!"

    At noon I checked on my glucose sensors.  They were in Lindsborg so here soon.  I checked the porch & there they were.  I cannot have blood sugar so low again.  It will wake me.  Usually when I am in the 70s.  I just put one on.  Now have 29 seconds until it works again.  No error messages.  My last 2 were faulty.  Although the last one did start working pretty good.  No more finger sticks.  Plus I bought a nice carrying case for my sensor monitor I can hang on my purse.  Cool.  Easy to hook & unhook.

    Too warm today.  I have the AC on.  Outside it is 66.  Where is my winter??  None here but one snow.  Summer temps that just make the weathermen so jolly!!

    This afternoon there was an earthquake here.  Not far from me but I felt nothing.  Have photos to share about it.  My FB group is blowing up with people having to post what every little thing they felt, what their living quarters felt & more.  I am saying nothing.  No one cares.  It was a 3.5 one.  Pretty good.  We could be seafront property someday!!! 😅

    I see where my high school class is planning a reunion.  I used to help plan but I guess no more.  I had no idea.  Or any details.  I was going to quit anyway.  No one from my class ever kept in touch after graduation or now.  I will separate from them.  No loss.

    Soooo sorrrry I missed all the political crap last night.  I read enough to know how glad I am.  Just a stupid show for one person who has done nothing but bad things for my country.  Those who can make changes for the good of everyone need to step up.  Now.  Like that will happen.

    Emailing with JL & texting JR.  That is my day so far.

Poor Gracie my grandpuppy got blamed for the earthquake!!

Her Highness Gracie.  What a princess!!! 💕

One of my favorite flowers.  Poppies are the other ones.

I just want to ride on this train one more time.  Won't happen.  I cannot drive that far & there is no one who will take me.  I am missing so much. 😭

AI me.  Wish I looked & felt this good.

The Day the Music Died Day

What a very sad day.  I remember it well.

Today's Name Day:  Disa, Hjördis

    I have no plans for today.  Just a quiet day.  I was awake until 5am.  No real reason.  Cats stayed nearby but did not bother me.

    Rain started around midnight.  Only heard one clap of thunder & one bright lightning.  Rain was heavy at times.  By 7am we were out of the rain but more is coming tonight.

    Last night around 1130pm Oklahoma had a 5.1 earthquake & then 3 smaller quakes.  It was even felt in Wichita KS.  Must not have done any damage or I have missed the news.  During the last 2 weeks around where I live we have had around 4-5 small quakes.  I never feel them, but others do.  I have felt a quake or two here.  The first I remember my kids were babies.  I was  standing in my living room & it shook me.

    Cinder never asked to go out today.  Good.  She has napped either on me, under the sofa, or on a chair.  Kisse is hiding also somewhere.

    I forced myself to wash my hair or I would have to go into hiding.  I was way overdue.  Looking better now.

    At Christmas Dish TV had on the best Dish Scapes.  Just videos & music.  I found a new one today called Venice Carnivale.  I like it.

    Photos today are something new.  I have an app called NOvA.  It creates AI pictures for you.  I wrote what I wanted to see & I am sharing some of them.  Very cool.

                                

Wandering, 26 december 2021

    Today is Boxing Day in some countries and Anandag Jul in others.  For me, I am glad Christmas is over and I never hardly cried.  In my FB memories there were too many photos of when I was with my son and his kids.  I am mo longer free to even email my grandkids.  The photos are just painful.  Sure that brings joy to my son.  But it is what it is.  They will have to pay for it all someday.

    I took Nico out around 430am today.  Then at 440 am we had a 3.9 earthquake.  My bed shook for a while.  We are averaging around 2 little quakes most days but this was a big one.  Most are near Gypsum KS.  JR joked we should go there to photograph the town before is sinks in a large sink hole!!  Hope that does not happen.  Just joking.

    A cloudy day with winds up to 58 mph here.  We are back in fire danger.  So far nothing.

    JR and I ate at Jalisco's.  Good to be there.  JS was the only waiter so he kept busy, but he still had time to talk and joke with us.

    I tried to take a nap but mostly just rested.  Did not sleep the best last night.

    I swear Nico knows when I am writing my blog.  He just cannot leave me alone!  I am texting with his head on my arm.

    Photos are sort of Christmas like.  There is a collage of the Olsburg KS church. They have a candle holder that has been restored and lit this year.  It is gorgeous.  I think I have visited the church years ago.

                    

Wandering, 09 december 2021

    Home alone today.  Just mostly quiet.  Short nap.  Hard to sleep my mind was working overtime.  No reason why.  I was thinking of things I should just forget.  And the holidays do not help.  Lost too many people during this time.  One friend at Thanksgiving, another on New Years, Mom died on Christmas Eve.  Just a difficult time.

    It was in the 20s last night and today in the 60s.  Cold front hits tomorrow afternoon and then colder.  Next week warmer again.  The cold front has snow in Colorado and Nebraska.  But they keep talking about this huge storm.  I think the weathermen are so tired of nothing but warm weather they are making all the can over snow elsewhere.  WE might have a flake or two here. H.A.

    It is so nice to smell no propane in the house.  And no worries if or when I will again.  My furnace came on right away when I turned it back on.

    I froze last night.  Nico refused to move so I grabbed a second blanket just for me.  Later I got up and turned the heat up one degree and spread my blanket out.  Then all was well.

    I worked on genealogy last night.  I was in the MacLean clan in Scotland.  Even though we are many hundreds of years apart, I am proud that they are part of me.  I do believe our ancestors are still apart of us.  And I am sure others think I am stupid.  Too bad.  They are an interesting family.

    I finally got my hair washed.  I used no foam or gel to set it with so it feels softer.  See how bad it looks tomorrow.  I have all day to repair the damage!

    In town there are cars with Christmas lights driving around, sometimes blasting carols!  I have not seen one yet, but I am not there often.  Hope I can borrow a photo from my brother.  I think he might be uptown tonight hoping to see them.

    Yesterday the area where I live had 2 earthquakes!!  One very early morning that I slept through.  I guess it really shook homes and was loud.  How did I do that?  The second was while I was at work.  We did not feel a thing.  Strange that my area is having them so often.  We have had around 10 recently.

    Photos today are Christmas ones and the last 2 are mine.
