11/2025 - Lunes the 10th - MY JOURNEY

 

Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces

Today's Name Day:  Martin, Martina

There has been a Martin or two who lived here in town.

    Another not so good day.  Why???   I woke up with a really bad headache.  And it made me nauseous too.  I took pain pills but it took forever for them to work.  I mostly skipped lunch.  Ate one bite of food.  Then Cinder & I napped.  I ate supper ok.  Very slight headache.  Tomorrow is my historical group.  Wish I could stay home.  But it is our Christmas dinner.  I bring the dishes.

    Did not talk to many.  One email & a few texts from MM

    Got down to 20F last night.  Very little wind here.  I felt a little chilly.  Same today.  Much warmer tomorrow.  And the rest of the week.  At least they have mostly removed the 80F day or two in the west.  Far too warm. They have even mentioned snow a time or two.  Could be fun!!

    Some leftover pain from trash yesterday.  Many people do not understand that every major action takes time to heal from.  Many don't understand or want to know.  Somedays I truly feel all alone.

    Photos are a mix of seasonal ones.

  

                                                                

10/2025 - Miércoles the 22nd - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Marika, Marita

    Not a good day.  Bad blood sugar all night, no sleep,  increased pain, headache.  I called in sick.  I am so tired of this.  Every day I wake up & wonder "now what will today bring?"  Seems to rarely be anything good.

    I finally had some sleep this afternoon.  MM was out here with cookies & chocolate candy for me.  Nice.  A mutual friend, W,  was with him.  He made sure I know while MM is out of state that I can call him if needed.  Nice of him.

    Weather was pleasant.  I sat outside for awhile.  Very nice.  Rain comes tomorrow evening/night.  See if I get any here.

    Photos are mostly flower  & local photos from a long time ago.  Something different.

01/2025 Lördag the 26th - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

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.

                            

20 october, 2022 Wandering & Capturing Moments

     I am still sick.  Compared to last tuesday, I am better.  But not 100%.  Waiting.

    I am getting brave to voice my opinion.  Several times this week when I said how I feel I got lectured on how wrong I am.  I am brave.  Living alone with no one here, is the ultimate alone feeling.  I have several friends / family who offer to help if I need something.  For me it is hard to ask when most of then work  Or have kids.  Or I have to drive to town & then back home.  And hopefully I feel like I can drive.

    Too warm today.  Warmer tomorrow.  Sunday we have 50mph winds with a watch for pasture fires.  Scary day.

    Photos are autumn.  Blogged more than yesterday.  All I am up to.
