07/2026 - Sunday the 26nd - MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Jasmine , Jesper
I have a cousin Jasmine.  Met her but don't know her well  Lives nowhere near me.  The only Jesper I know of is a Swedish golfer.


    Today was más o menos.  I did not sleep good.  Awake often.  I cancelled the day knowing I did not have time to sleep before a meeting.  I napped & feel some better.
    Miserable weather again.  Right now it is 104F or 40C at my house.  Humid outside.  We do have a breeze today.  I hate summer.
    Last night before going to bed I went out to feed Daisy.  And there was a possum on the porch getting a drink of water.  Never ever hurt a possum.  They are good for your yard.  They eat thousands of ticks from the area surrounding your house.  And rattlesnakes cannot hurt them.  They cause few problems.  They never act like they will hurt you.  Just walk away.
    Quiet dqy.  Nothing from MM.  Wrote a few minutes asking if we were eating out.  He has been very sick today & I think he wanted me to buy food for his kids.  Sorry not today.
    I can feel that my blood sugar is low.  Had a quick snack.  Soon supper.  My depression is a bit better.  Stress stays the same.  What causes my stress is always present in my life.  If I just had a support person or group.  What a change that would make.
    Cats are more active today.  Not hiding so much.  Weird.  Cinder keeps turning up on top my fridge.  That is truly odd.  Kisse has always climbed up on it.  And they are mostly sleeping in our bedroom at night.,
    Marriage memories keep coming back.  I always thought we would have a few years of Willie being semi-retired to we could enjoy a life together.  Dementia took that all away.  And his alcoholism did not help.  We both got screwed big time.  He was too nice to have all that stuff.  Trying to remember all the good things ----  trucking, Vegas, weekends away.  Everyone loved Willie.  Very few of his friends liked me.  Husbands were friendlier than the wives.  At least they would say hello & good bye.  I never or hear from any of his friends.  I must be a really bad person that no one likes me much.


Yay!!!

5/2026 - Wednesdy 6th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Day:  Marit , Rita
Went to school with a Rita.  Beautiful girl.  Cousin is married to a Rita.  Know no Marits.

    Today was pretty good.  Slept good but it took an entire pill.  No cats outside.  Wish they would return soon.  They have got to be starving!!!  Only saw a possum last night.
    Today was a work day at the Old Mill.  And what a joy.  I  finishsed all the tiny photos of students.  I almost did a happy dance.  Now working on photos of kids that are not named.  Some have the photo studio on the photo but not all of them.  Sad all these sweet photos that are not claimed by anyone.
    One of our most famous photographers had notes & hand written books, etc. about his photos.  But there was a major fire in his studio & lost it all. No way to identify any photo now.  Poor planning on his part.
    HS & LL were busy but I had time to visit with AP.  He is a cool guy!!
    On they way to my car I had a scary happening.  As I walked I got a cramp or lots of pain in my left ankle.  I could not walk at all!!  I sat down on a huge rock to rest.  It sort of quit eventually.  I was scared for a while.  Never happened before.  What next???
    Finally after lunch the clouds cleared & it got sunny  & warmer.  I was hoping for lots more rain.  JR thought my getting half an inch was great.  Not hardly.  Three to four inches would have been great.  Half an inch is a waste.  Does no good.  Not in a drought.  
    Small chance of rain for Mother's Day.  I could not care less.  I am no longer a mother except to my cats.  Not to kids or grandkids.  Just forgotten & left out.  Maybe stay home on sunday.  Who could care???  And no one anywhere realises how much I am hurting.  No one.
    Actually having coffee tomorrow with someone i know from town.  I have worked for her at the SVAFC.  Nice lady.  Be fun.    
    Got a huge box of cat food but no clue where to stash it.  Not outside.  The racoon would have a hey day with it!!!
    Sure is nice to have CBS back to watch and a great internet wifi.  Life is good.  At least that part is.  I was fighting tears on they way home.  Glad it passed.  Life is good & bad.  No one bothers to find out how I am.











Old old photo of the Oldl Mill.  Ran it through an app that can fix old photos.  Looks good!


Photo on my pc at work.

A pile of work I have completted.  Total of 4 boxes of photos.  There are 10 or so others not here.















Hermanos y amigos mios.
Brothers & my friends.  Mayito & Pepe.
