10/2025 - Sábado the 18th - MY JOURNEY

 

Willie & our dog Ruffa.  She was a sweetheart.

Today's Name Day:  Lukas

I know one Lukas.  Friend who works at the Öl Stuga. 

    A so-so day.  Slept ok but sad all day.  I ignored the festival in Lindsborg.  Made no comments on any of the photos.  Those who could help me get to the parade were busy working.  The one who could have helped but has no job never offered anything.  I am pretty sure no one missed my presence.  Weather was good for it all.  Hope the crowds were big & well behaved.

    Today was a Jammie Day.  No one cares what I am wearing. 

    I was just outside.  Air is really cool feeling.  It is 59 out now.  I stayed out for a while.  I thought there would be mail on my porch.  Must all be small & in my mail box.  Did not go check.

    I had ear buds to listen to stuff at work but they are missing.  I know I used them in the gallery but not seen them in that bag either.  Ordered new ones.  They work fine.  Not expensive.

    Cinder napped with me all afternoon.  No clue where Kisse was.  Sometimes she sleeps under my bed.

    Had an email from JL.  Text from JS last night.  LL, MM, CW were all quiet & busy.  Got a dog photo from CF.  No chat.  He had assured me that he & his other grandmother would enjoy live chatting with me.  Well, that never happens.  I won't ask.  I fit in nowhere.

    Had a chance of rain earlier but got nothing.  Maybe later????  Not holding my breath.

    Photos are mostly Halloween.  Will do all autumn tomorrow.

    Lunch was light but upset my stomach.  Supper so far is ok.  Nothing good.  Not what I wanted.  Hope I get over this someday.

    I called my pharmacy yesterday.  Can get my Covid shot & flu shot for nothing.  Thanks to Medicare.  Good.  A friend who is much younger than me will have to drive several hundred miles to get any kind of shots.  Not available to him & his kids here.  Gonna cost several hundred dollars.  How are our lives better???

    Big country wide protest today.  And many countries in the world for our support.  All went well with no violence that I have heard of yet.  Again, how are our lives better????  Only for billionaires.  😱

 

From a few years ago,  Fun!

                                                                  

10/2025 - Lunes the 13th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Berit, Birgit

Friends with a Birgit.  Love that name.  Known a Berit.

    Had an ok day.  Feeling sort of not part of things or anyone.  Glad for those who had a good weekend or monday.  I will survive.

    Today I was in a bad mood & my depression is awful. Cancelled supper out.  Then woke up early from my nap & decided to quit being a baby & go eat.  Jay & I went to Jalisco's.  I have missed them & my friends.  Had a great visit with MA about his father's birthday & how much I wished I was there in Mexico.  Fun to talk to MS then her brother MS came to chat with me.  Her husband HT were glad to see each other.  My spanish is not wonderful & his english is so so but we manage.  He acutally looked happy to see me.  And asked if I was ok.  I really needed tonight.  Ate too much.  Remember that when out.  Got home before feeling sick.

    Rained off &. on this afternoon.  Got very little rain.  Stayed cool. Loved it!!

    My car fuel was on fumes.  JR used my credit card & filled my car so I could sit.  What a treat!!!

    I think part of my bad mood is missing Hyllningsfest.  But no one to take care of me or sit with me.  Better to stay home. Rather than sit near big groups of people of families/friends while I am alone.  Such is life.  No where to park closer than 2 blocks or more away.  I really miss having Mom & Dad to sit with.  Most people I know do not care if I get to the celebration.  I am on my own.  No backup.

    Watching Rachel Maddow.  Always good.  She is also on again this friday.  And something special she has created.  Great.

    I had something in my purse that is gone.  I have searched & searched.  Ordered a new one.  Upsets me.m Probably in my car under the seat.  It can stay there.

    Cats are near.  Think they missed me.  How would I survive without them???

    Photos are seasonal.

  

The view from my front porch.  Other side of this hill has a white cross the towards the top made out of rocks in the shape of a cross painted white.  Started by early Swedes here.  Kansas prairie.

Picture I created from two graphics I have,

In my office of what I charge things with.

Winter gazebo in Swensson Park, Lindsborg KS.

                                                                         

10/2025 - Martes the 07th - MY JOURNEY

 

I love this graphic.  Kinds of sums of this time in the year & all the holidays coming up.  Hallo is Halloween.  Thanks is Thanksgiving.  Mas is Christmas.  I really do not get to celebrate any of them.  No family to be with & cannot be in JR's office anymore.  Grumpy owner of the building.  😕

Today's Name Day:  Birgitta, Britta

Know both Birgittas & Brittas.  All in Sweden.  Love these names.

    Had a lonely but ok day.  Heard from MM, CW, JL, & CF.  Not too often.  

    MM & I have set a lunch date.  He is now working for the Sale BARn also.  They have only 1 bartender in their staff.  So he is getting really busy.  But that is ok.  Hope he gets good tips from there.  And he can teach more of the help to create bar drinks.

    I did get a call to see if I could just sit in the Red Barn on Hyllningsfest.  I hated to but I turned it down.  I do not want to be in town that weekend at all.  Had a bad experience behind the SVAFC 2 years ago so home is better.  Feel guilty saying no.  Any other time would be no problem.

    I had a doctor appointment in Wichita this week that I rescheduled.  Just not feeling over my accident.  Better but not normal. 

    Today was odd.  I have sneezed too many times to count!  Allergies??? Cold???  Scares whatever cat is closest to me.  I tried to warn Cinder sitting on my lap.  Her 2nd language of English is really good.  She left before my sneezing fit!!

    We had some rain overnite & this morning.  Got 0.41" here.  That is it for a while.  It is so nice & chilly but the weatherman is giddy over 80s to almost 90s this weekend.  Ick.  Far too warm for here in October.  But next week in the 60 - 70s again.  And chances for rain.  Much better.  Takes the giddiness out of him!!!

    I got my new purse today.  Same style as my old one but larger & everthing fits.  With room to spare.  Nice.  Also found glucose  in individual servings packages.  Small bags to take when needed instead of thick tablets.  See how  they work out.

    No nap today.  Hope I sleep good overnight then.

    Took several bags of trash out to the bins today & yesterday.  Just need all my boxes moved away from here.  Either after a rain or when wheat is sowed.

    The grocery store has a meal of Sloppy Joe beef & buns to buy.  Two containers of beef & 4 buns.  Very tasty.  Need to use more beef but I can use it on other bread too.  Surely healthier  than lunch meat.  And the cost is quite cheap.

    Fotos are a seasonal mix.

Love this photo.  So sweet!!!

This is a real person all made. up.

Swedish prayer.  I prefer to sing it.  Know it by heart.

No chance for me to fall in love again.  Ever.

Spooks in Jalisco's.  Put them out every year.

Hard to get when I am alone too often.

Old, old Hyllningsfest float foto.  Like it.  You can see our old movie theatre called the Plaza.  Now has businesses in it.
