5/2026 - Sunday 17th - MY

Today's Name Day: Rebecka , Ruben

I have a great friend from Sweden. She & I & two other Swedish ladies started blogging together on Yahoo many years ago. I amthe only one who still blogs, Still friends with all of them. Rebecka moved to Canada & got married & is still there.

Known several Beckys. One is a niece of Willie's. Local famous singer is a Becky. She is awesome.

Today could have been better. I got little sleep. In the middle of a major RA flare for several days. And nauseated today. Been hard to walk.

Baby Kitten was glad to see me. I fed & watered her. Tonight I picked her up & held her for quite a long time. And she never struggled to jump away. Nice for a change.

I took a nice afternoon nap. Kisse was in front of the TV & Cinder was on her box under the lamp. Three who love each other. We are few & far between. I am so grateful for them.

I was mostly ignored today. I have made a collection of grapics to explain how my day is. Most people do not care. And a few who should check on me or ask how I am, do not. One graphic & no explanations. Who cares & what do I know.

I voiced my opinion on something I had a text about but I was pretty much told I know nothing. Will keep my opinions to myself. What do I know??? Not much.

Supposed to have my car worked on tomorrow but might cancel for a week. See how I feel.

Tired of sticking my fingers for my blood sugars. Fingers getting sore. 😞

Super windy today. Gusts were from 40mph to 50mph. Saw a high of 95F. Hate summer.

Photos are a mix. Some I have taken.

Wheat.

Wild flower.

Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. One of my favorite birds but super hard to get a photo of them. Too skittish,

Carl Aaron Swensson who started Bathany College,

Presser Hall at the college. Offices & concert hall.

This is one of the best race car drivers ever, Jack Petty. I knew him. I worked with his father at the White Cross Nursing Home. He was in a near fatal wreck at the race track at the State Fair track. He did survive & kept driving, Severely scared. Found a photo of the wreck. Several drivers were burned, 1974.

3/2026 - Söndag den 29:e - MY JOURNEY

Happy Easter in Swedish. Sweden does witches for Easter. The kids dress up as witches. And get candy.

Today's Name Day: Jens, Jonas

I have known a Jens & a couple of Jonases.

My day was ok but the weekend was a challenge. Rough on me emotionally & physically. And I got no support in any way. Just me & the cats here alone

With the high winds I had a group of boxes that kept blowing around. Both trash bins have been tipped over. Someone --- KN?? --- put the group of boxes in one bin & left it laying on its side. Would not have stayed if set it upright. I have another pile of boxes. I could do the same with them. See how much pain I am in. There are no offers to help me if I need it

I slept so-so. Needed a bit more sleep but it went ok. I brought my iPad to work at the SVAFC. I googled how to do something but then I realised my keyboard needs to be charged. Duh. Charging now. See if that helps. Might take a while.

Had a few people come in. Last day of this show. I told MH I could probably work for him on friday. Then I can see the next show. I am baffled what it will be. I am curious.

The 10th of April is the yearly Jazz Walk in town. A family named Draper have a huge musical group. They walk down the sidewalk playing their instruments then a concert in the Sundstrom Building. All free. The music this year is Blues. Will be awesome. Decided I am taking that friday off from work. Trying to eat out for lunch, working all afternoon, then supper out, & finally the concert. Too much for one day. Will relax most of the day at home.

After work supper was at Pizza Hut. I was hungry. Had pasta & garlic bread. Ate most of it. Then home. I did my spanish lesson at work on my iPad. Not easy but I got 2 lessons done. Sort of awful. May check on a new case. Since I have ignored this one too much.

I found out a gathering I am usually included in did not invite me. Upsets me even though it is none of my business. So I have been crying. Lots more to the story but that is all I am saying. FOMO ---- fear of missing out. Not really a fear anymore. I am just excluded from things going on. Period.

This weekend was our Messiah Chorus festival. Used to be both Easter weekends, 3 performances, concerts during the week. Almost nothing now. Very sad. They have trouble getting people to sing or attend.

Photos are nothing special. Saw no llamas today. Or yesterday.

The cats have been hanging around more today. Ate last night & today. Cinder is sleeping by the TV. Kisse is hiding. Probably under my bed.
