10/2026 - Tuesday the 20th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Sibylla

    Today was a super nice day.  I met my cousin JT for lunch.  It was great.  I have really missed him.  There are problems in our families with each other.  I wondered if he could clarify anything.  He could not.  He hoped I could.  Nope.  I am clueless.  It is with his mom.  I have not spoken to her for several years.  Now he has not spoken to her for several years.  She is hopeless.  Nothing makes sense.  Sad.  For her.  But he & I are great.  Hope his friendship with me lasts.

    I came home for a nap.  I slept not good last night.  Cinder came over to snuggle with me.  And she laid there for a long time.  Super nice.  When she moved Daisy moved to lay on me.  For a long time.  Very nice.

    I bought some toys for the cats.  Kisse found one.  And could not leave it alone.  She played until she was tired & fell asleep.  Cool.

    It is raining out now.  I have had a whopping 0.11".  JR has had like 0.02".  Nothing to write home about.  Stayed kind of cool today.  Supposed to be around 80 but never got that warm.  Nice.

    Work tomorrow.  Sure miss being there.  Hope my life gets to be more normal.  Group of friends who eat out on thursday have missed several weeks but I guess we will make it this week.  I am glad.

Tonight resting from new toy,  Kisse.

5/2026 - Thursday 7th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Carita , Carina

I do not know these names.  Had one ancestor called Aunt Carrie.  Close as I get.

    Today was actually great!!  What a surprise.  I knew part of it would be but it ended even better.

    Night was awful.  I could not keep my eyes open so missed Colbert.  Fell asleep right away.  Woke up later freezing to death!!  I pulled up my weighted blanket.  I finally warmed up & then I was too warm.  Blanket off.

    My blood sugar was constantly low all night.  And I had even took less insulin.  I do not understand.  I wonder if the med I take for my neuropathy is changing things inside me.  Who knows???

    I met a newer friend for coffee at the White Peacock.  She is in charge of a building in town.  Plus she is on the SVAFC board.  When she is supposed to work & cannot then she calls me.  I love those calls from several people,  A fun coffee!  She has had the most interesting life.  I love hearing about it.  We plan on meeting again.  Very nice.

    I called MM to see if he was at work.  He was so I went to the Sale Barn.  We sat outside for a while but then I moved inside when he got busy.  I decided to have supper there.  Better than me cooking,  Had a burger with egg & cheese & fries.  

    A guy who works there is also a professional singer.  And works hard at that.  He even said I looked prettier than when we first met.  MM said I am Grandma so he renamed me  Grandma Hottie!!!  What a fun guy!  Nice to laugh!.  And truly sweet guy.  I warned him he was making my blog tonight!!!  So here he is!!!

    On they way home I stopped to see Willie.  His flowers looked so bad.   I had 2 last bouquets in the trunk of the car so his grave looks better now.  Someone planted daisies behind his grave & they looked awesome.  Took lots of photos,  Said hello to MM's father & my best friend John,  Cemetery looks good.  I have lots of new flowers that have come.  Ready to make graves look good.  A couple of graves have peonies on them.  Took more photos.

    Got home and a very lazy mail man drove up in my yard.  He was no where near my car port or porch.  Or even my trash bins.  He tossed a box on the ground and went on his merry way.  Need to complain. Found 2 packages in the ditch behind my mail box.  One was totally ruined.  The other one was ok.

    Although a great day, got sad news at noon.  A local man I really liked & respected passed away today.  So sad.  Peace & hugs to his family.

    Still no baby cats.  Starting to worry again.  They have to be starving.  I keep calling,  Only get a possum & a racoon.  Dang.
