5/2026 - Thursday the 21th - MY JOURNEY

Retired on the same day as Colbert, but a different year.

Today's Name Day: Konstantin , Conny

Today was a great day. Slept good with my kids nearby & Daisy waiting for breakfast. And a cuddle.

I had an appointment to get my oil changed in my car in Assaria KS. When I got inside a gentleman invited me to sit with him. He is my mechanic's father. What a cool guy!! We had a great conversation about a variety of things. And I now have a new requirement for my car getting worked on ---- his father must be part of the job!!! He made my day. MM lived in Assaria as a kid. They remember each other.

We had rain overnight. And very cool temps. Loved it. Maybe rain the next 2 days & rain now added to saturday. May be too wet to decorate graves on sunday. Wait until next week.

Came home for a short nap. When I woke up Cinder came to lay on me while I am trying to blog. And rubbing noses.

Big mix of photos today.

Sad sad day today. Colbert ends his show. What, oh what, will I do without him? CBS is an idiot & ruled by outside idiots. I rarely watch any network shows. I watch 2 week night shows & 2 soaps. Unfortunately they all are on CBS. I will never praise them again.

I totally screwed up my blog yesterday. Took me forever to figure out how to fix it. So frustrating.

Communication is extra quiet today. I miss family & friends. And it hurts to be ignored. Got an email from JL & she may quit being online. It is ok. I am used to losing people I enjoy.

Last night they asked Stephen Colbert the questions of his questionaire. A different star asked eached question. This is a photo of them all.

Love this. True!!

5/2026 - Tuesday the 19th - MY JOURNEY

Today's Name Day: Maj , Majken

Have a friend who has Maj as part of her first name. And she always reads this blog!! Thanks! There is a lady in town with Majken as her first name but spelled differently. I think.

Today was a good day. Not quite enough sleep but did ok. Tried to nap this afternoon but could not fall asleep. No problem..

Had a hair app't this afternoon. Great to see Henry. Always a good conversation. And we end with a hug. Pretty rare I get a hug on any day. I just see no one.

Cooler last night & today. So much better than summer weather. I swear the wheat is starting to turn. Way too early!!! In the 50s last night & 60s today. Wish it would last. More rain is in the forecast. But nothing severe. Need heavy rain here. What a dream. Rain on wednesday night & thursday. Maybe substantial rains.

Wish my appointment had been a bit later. I could have eaten supper out. Pancakes & sausage sounds sooo good. Not in Lindsborg. No one serves those foods. Maybe on Sunday the Sale BARn does until 2pm. Maybe eat early this sunday. Doubt JR will be up that early. We can go out on monday then. Or when ever.

My flare seems to be over for the moment. Much less pain. Not so tired. Plus it always helps to actually get out to see people. See with the coming rains if that changes.

My unnamed kitten likes to lay under my car. I call her & have a treat for her so she stays on the porch. I drive down the driveway to put on lipstick, etc. I am trying to come up with a name for her. Amelie is nice. So is Daisy. Still thinking.

Photos today are a mix. Even some I have taken.

Friends & family quiet today. Only an email from JL. Nothing more.
