8/2026 - Friday the 21st - MY JOURNEY

 

National Radio Day

Today's Name Day:  Jonna, Jon

I have had a friend named Jon since the 1990's.  Cool guy.  Interesting.  Have a FB friend named Jonna now,

    Today was a good day.  Slept good.  Less pain.  Always nice.  No need to share how I feel.  Will quit.  No one cares.  Just tired of it all.

    Had lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  I always try to get there early.  We have a table we prefer.  Sometimes if I get there early we can get our table.  A man was at our table.  And he soon left.  Then I moved.  Perfect.  I had a table but it is small and no place for my cane.  Perfect.  We both had biscuits & gravy.  My fave.

    Then I looked for a parking place for work.  Got a close one.  Worked for SVAFC.  A friend came in & was positive she & I are related..  I told her there was no way.  I am right.  Not even one.  But her visit killed lots of time.  And we visited a lot.

    Not many visitors came in today.  I miss that.  I saw one of my favorite visitors who would not come in & interrupt my visiting,  Maybe next time.

    I got a reminder from my doc in Hutch.  I cancelleld an appointment when it was 110F outside. & they picked a day.  Dang.  They  picked this friday.  Guess I will miss work.  And cannot work at the SVAFC.  No happy.  But after this appointment I can get my glucose sensors again.  Hate that company.  A lot was not explained to me.

    Supper was at Jalisco's.  And found out a good friend has moved away,  I am sad.  Will miss him.

    Maybe rain tonight,  Maybe tomorrow.  Cooler tonight.  Great.  High today was 102F.  And humid.

                                                                       

                           

08/2025 - Viernes the 22th - JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Henrietta, Henrika

Knew a Henrietta who was a neighbour & mother of a good friend.

    Had a very good day after an awful night. I went to bed & then I could not find my glucose sensor reader.  I searched the entire house more than once.  It was nowhere.  I was sure that when my blood sugar got too high or too low & then it would beep.  No beep all night.

    After I was dressed for lunch I called the company who makes my sensor to order a new one.  They were super nice & one is on the way.  Be here in 5 days.  Right after we said goodbye I heard my sensor beep softly.  It was somewhere in the bedroom.  Never found it.

    Then I got home tonight after supper I went to take a nap & then I saw it.  Nap never happened.  Could not relax. Cinder did cuddle with me.  I have changed my sensor.  It has to sit for one hour before it works,  Now up & blogging & waiting.

    Lunch with LL at the White Peacock.  Got a table which is always nice.  Good visit.  Most of the kids who came in ordered then left.

    Then I worked at the SVAFC.  I was a bit tired, but kept busy.  Visitors were sort of steady.  Lots of kids walking by but not coming in.  One lady did come in who knew our artist.  We had a great conversation.

    There was a huge bouquet of wildflowers on the desk in the gallery,  I will have photos of it tomorrow.  I see no flowers anywhere near where I live.  Sad.  No photos for me then.

    Supper was at the Sale BARn.  Did not know any of the workers.  But they all were nice.  I had the shrimp basket with potato wedges.  Next time just curly fries.

    Weather was a bit warm.  Cooler on sunday.  I hope.

    Photos are more flowers.  They are again from the Rosberg House a few years ago.  They all got replanted this summer.  I hope to get some new photos soon.

I sure miss my baby.  The pain never stops.

 

03/2024 Onsdag the 20th - Wandering & Capturing Moments

 

National Ravioli Day

Today's Name Day:  Joakim, Kim

    What a great day!!! I took an anxiety pill when I went to bed last night & slept all night, And so did Cinder next to me. About time.

    I got up a bit early.  Kisse got up with me but I never saw Cinder.  I got dressed & went ou tthe door,  I decided to eat lunch at the White Peacock.  Good food,  It is my goal to try to go out more instead of sitting home feeling sorry for myself.

    At the Peacock there was a large group of women meeting together.  I knew many of them. They left & another large group of women came in.  I knew many of them & even went to school with  of  couple.  I have never ever been included in any kind of group.  Would be fun.  But I know better.  When I was president of the Swedish group there were 5 of us cousins in the group.  They all ate out often but never included me.  I have never figured out what is wrong with me.  Something is.  But life goes on.  I say hello & smile & talk but it never matters.  I stay invisible,

    After lunch I went to the Old Milll Museum to work.  They were both really busy so I just worked.  Got a lot done.  We did get to visit a little though.

    After work I picked up JR for supper.  Back to Jalisco's.  Good to be there again,  The boss's parents are on their way here from Mexico for his brother's birthday.  Be great to see them again.  Love them.

    Dessert was Indigo Moo'd for ice cream.

    Next we went to the Elmwood Cemetery in town.  Put several solar lights on graves ---- our parents & grandparents.  I noticed a familiar last name on a near headstone.  Then JR checked the first name for me.  When I heard it I burst into tears,  Someone special from my past as a nurse.  I am still teary now.

    Then we went to our mom's twin sister's grave.  She was born dead but they were born on different days since her sister was born before midnight.  While at her grave I found another family ancestor who I just recently discovered had a second marriage I never knew of.  I did know that the second wife & her family are buried in the same cemetery.  And we found them near our parents.  Tomorrow I research more to double check they are who I think they are,  Very interesting.  Genealogy is always interesting.  Now I just need some free time!!!  Busy week though.

    Last night I had some plans presented to me about some future plans that were just too good to be true.  I no longer dream of travel &/or fun.  It is not a part of my life.  The thought of such a cool event was overwhelming.  Pretty sure today it will not happen.  (No wonder I am teary.) No problem.  But makes me sad for giving in to a brief moment of excitement.

    There is an event in town on friday,  I usually ignore things like this but I have decided I will be there.  JR may be there but he can do what he wants.  I will be there.  Really odd for me.  Usually I have no one to be with for one reason or another,  Kind of excited now.

    Spring is here but now there is snow forecast.  Yay!!!  Gonna be some very unhappy summer people.  Tough!!

    Photos today are from this afternoon,  Might have saved too many,  See if I can weed some out,
