A rare photo with all 3 pets in one photo.  Then added a photo of me.  We are a nice family.  Never bother the neighbours!!!

Today's Name Day:  Sigfrid

The only Sigfrid I heard of was a show star in Las Vegas. Never got to see them.  Two guys & their wild animals on stage.

    An ok day.  Still depressed & sore.  Plus being ignored is continuing.  Have too great a weekend to remember me.

    I slept ok last night.  Layed on my pillow wrong friday night so had a sore neck last night.  Ended up having one snack.

    Tried a short nap this afteroon but did not happen.  Got ready to go out for supper.  Makeup looked awful.  Will be careful the next time.  In a hurry I guess.

    Foggy this morning but no rain or wind.  Little cooler today.  I loosely keep track of our weather for a week at a time.  I see we have cooler temps coming.  I thought we only had warm weather forecast.  Who can keep track???

    Tonight was supper at Pizza Hut with C&N.  They are great fun!!  And we think alike.  So is our sense of humor!  I just had fries & my stomach did fine.

    After supper was groceries.  Cinder has been ok of her ham.  She beat me to the kitchen when I got home!!  I bought some Swedish cookies called Kex.  So good.  The Old Mill had some getting ready for the waffle celebration that we do.  Ours is stupid.  Sweden does it nice.  But we are selling these cookies in our gift shop that day.  LL gave me one to try.  Mistake!!!  💖. Sort of a crisp waffle cookie covered in chocolate.  If you can find some give them a try.  I have a package here now.

    Fueled the car & then home.  The traffic from the Salina was awful in town.  Went to go home on Burma Road & there was the same heavy traffic.  Sheesh!!!  Wonder why??

    Did my Spanish lesson & it was even easy.  And  fun.  Nice to understand a bit.

    Kisse is weird tonight.  She has run over me on the sofa several times.  Now curled up next to me sleeping.  A little chilly in here.  Maybe she is chilly.  Have to turn some heat on.  Cinder is sleeping on my dvr where it is always warm.  They fight over that spot.

    Photos are a mix.  Some I even like.  Deleted some I did not like.

Lindsborg in a past snow.

White's tonight

Fire west of my farm last Wednesday.  Nice calm day for a burn.

Breaks my heart.  Lucky he knew wh0 I was.

Today's Name Day:  Halvar, Halvard

    Another bad day, health-wise.  Left 3 messages for my diabetes doc.  One yesterday & 2 today.  No answer until just before their closing time.  New insulin order.  Hope it helps.  If she had answered yesterday it would have helped today.  See what tomorrow brings.  I am not promising to work on friday yet.  I am near tears.  Want my life back.  She thought that a med I am taking might have caused it but sugars screwed before that med change.  Nothing so easy.

    I cancelled everything for today & tomorrow.  Cannot drive with a too low sugar reading.  I heard if you wreck your car when it is low they can stop you from driving for 6 months.  And then you cannot have a low reading during that time.  What fun that would be.  No one to help me then.  My only hope is MM but he is getting a second job.  No help then.  He did offer some help the other day.  That may not work either.  Offers from anyone who cares about me are few & far between.  CF has offered but has no car.  And two friends have offered also,  Nice there are a few who care.

    I did sleep ok last night.  Blood sugar was good all night.  I reduced my evening dose.  Sometimes one has to take charge when there is no else at the moment.

    I had someone act like they had no clue I was not well today or this week.  Obviously not paying attention to what I have written.  Hate for anyone to think of anyone else.

    My little cousin Linnea is enjoy her 9th birthday today,  I have not got to meet her.  And most likely will not get to.  Cannot drive that far alone.  No one has time.  Dang.  Not even omeone to just ride with for support.

    Great grandson today.  He got a hair cut.  So sweet.  And heard from his parents.  And an email from a friend.

    Need to go get the mail.  Too lazy to even want to go that far.  I did not make it to my board meeting last night.  Turns out the speaker for the program did not show either!!  That is a first.  Hope they reschedule him.  A program I wanted to hear. 

    Weather sucked today.  Saw 91 plus high humidity.  I could feel that when I opened the door.  Better tomorrow.  Chance of severe weather sunday & bigger chance on monday.

    Photos are cats & flowers.

National Lasagna Day

I was a day early yesterday.  I had lasagne for supper.  Just needed some garlic bread with it.  Next time.

Today's Name Day: Olle, Olof

    Not much to write about today.  But supper tonight was spaghetti & meatballs.  Two huge meatballs.  I left half of one.  Too much.

    Last night Kisse actually came to bed, curled up & stayed for a long time nexnt to me.  Very cool.  She is changing a little.  She used to sleep with Nico & I but then moved elsewhere & stayed there.  No one pushed away.  We all napped together this afternoon.  Cinder curled up with me a couple of times.

    Texts from my boss who got home today from a trip to see her new grandbaby.  And MM & all who stayed in KC overnight after the ball game.  Otherwise my day was very quiet.

    I ordered a new cane to use & it arrived today.  Pretty soft pink in color.  It is a totally different shape.  I think it will be helpful.  I hope.  Will put my old one in the car trunk in case I forget the other one at home.

    Sleeping ok.  I seem to wake up at the same times each night.  But I go back to sleep pretty fast.  At least this week.  Most pain is in my hands/wrists.  Awful.

    Still have raging depression.  Just stays the same.  Lots of reasons.  No sense to talk about them.  Trying not to feel sorry for me.  Not working.

    Still playing with my new apps in editing photos.  Something I enjoy doing.

    Had 2 thunderstorms last night.  Both had lots of lightning, the second one more than the first.  There was some flooding west of here.  We got up to 100F today.  Weatherman said no heat relief for maybe 2 weeks.  Nice.  Not helping how I feel.  Even eating out does not sound fun.

    Photos are a mix of things.

World Kindness Day

Today's Name Day is Emil

    Today went much better than yesterday.  Nico & I both slept pretty good last night.  Finally.  I hurt all night as usual.

    Today my pains were less & tolerable until time to go to town.  Got in the car, hurt again.

    I took a shower & shampoo after lunch.  Hair was long overdue for shampoo.   Looks & feels better.

    Went to Lindsborg this afternoon.   I need napkins for our supper in my historical group.   I am supplying all the dishes, etc.   I refuse to cook.   As I was walking to pay, a necklace caught my eye.   A key on a chain.  I bought it & put it on in the car.  Love it!!

    JR & I had supper at Jalisco's.   I was thrilled to have real food.   Carnitas for me tonite.   Excellent!   Nice visit with MA.

    The drive home was one of my best.   No traffic

& quiet.   Nice. 

    MM is still in the hospital.   He got real food today.  Hurt to eat but never made him sick.  Has a couple of new problems.  Maybe home tomorrow.  He called on the phone tonight.  Nice to talk to him.  He is on the floor I worked on for far too many years.  Not sure I could walk that far & no idea if there is anyone to push me there in a wheel chair.  When he is at home I can see him.  IF he needed me I would have found a way to get there.

    Trash tomorrow.   Never got it all out & no boxes organized by the bins.  It got windy & when the wind quit I had other things to do.

    Tomorrow I get the new part in my furnace added.   After lunch.  Good.

    Photos are seasonal.   I took several of them --- Christmas lights/tree/street, stars, food.  Leaves are not mine.

 National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day

Today's Name Day is Kristian

    I was not able to blog yesterday.   Sorry.  I got little to no sleep Friday night.  I cried most of the night over Nico.   I have so many guilt feelings that my poor choices is causing him to be ill & to die.

    Then I got word that MM was much worse.  Had had been sick for 3 days ---- severe pain, throwing up, no food, no meds.  He went to the ER in town.  Then they transferred him by ambulance to Salina.  That was the last straw.   KW took the kids to Wichita to their grandma & I went to the hospital to sit with MM.   The two little ones greeted me with hugs & love you's before leaving..  At least 5 times.   Sure needed those!!

    I just could not function last night to do anything.   I managed my Spanish lesson so I do not lose how many lessons I have done.  Guess it does not matter but that was all I did.

    No sleep last night.  On Saturday my hip quit hurting.  I was able to walk to the ER with ease.  And later back to my car.

    Went to bed.  Hip pain again & no sleep.  I cancelled today.  In pain, hard to walk, &  super depression.

    I should have forced myself to at least eat out tonight.  But I just did not have it in me.  I want to see MM so bad but KW  is with him & they both write me often.

    I tried to nap today but could not.  I changed the blanket on the sofa which is nice.  I spent the afternoon editing photos & sorting photos I have.  It was sort of relaxing.  Did not cook for supper but that is ok.  Just for me so what does it matter.  If I lived in town I could have ordered in.  If I just had someone who could bring me food but god forbid there be someone for me.  I have only me to depend on.  Refused to ask KW.  Too far to drive.   It is really tough to lose most family & have few friends.   Alone is not good or fun.   And, of course, no one but MM offered help.  No one else for me.

    Weather is ok.  We had a little rain yesterday morning.  Did not get much but it smelled nice.

    Tonight I set up a new diffuser.  I am using the essential oil Autumn Eternity Blend.  Smells nice.

    This afternoon I was a long program about Normandy & all the new information that they are finding.  Very interesting.

    I apologize for whining about my life.  I try to stay quiet.  I learned fast that when Willie died I became invisible to all of his friends.  That has not changed.  Nor will it.  And with several chronic diseases,  your learn fast that no one cares or wants to know.  So I try to keep quiet.  In the car yesterday on the way to the hospital. I actually did some yelling.  😵  Needed to do that!!  Have to do that more often!!!  Hope no one could read my lips!!

    Photos are mostly from out here.  Might be an odd one or two.  I will try to be in a better mood tomorrow.
