5/2026 - Monday the 4th - MY JOURNEY





Today's Name Day:  Mona , Monika
I have a great friend in Sweden named Mona.  Her special day.  We used to blog together on Yahoo years ago.  A nice group of us.  Then Yahoo stopped that program.  Miss it.  Mona used to post a different artist every week & we all would attempt to copy their art.  Miss that.  Maybe try one I enjoyed on my own.  Just for fun.


    Today has been pretty good.  Glad my kittens & Miss Kitty are home.  I saw them around 1am before going to bed.  They were beyond excited to see me!!  Gathered around my feet!!! They were starving.  Fed them again around 4am.
    This morning around 830am I looked out my bedroom window.  All 7 kittens were racing around my yard & climbing a tree.  What fun.  My screen is awful so no photos.  Have asked twice to have it replaced but I have given up.  Not going to happen. They got enough food today so have rested.  Asked 2 family members but no one has time for me.
    JS video chatted with me.  I know he worries about me & loves me.  Nice to see & hear him.  Makes my day. 
    Far too hot today.  I saw 85F here.  Felt ok outside.  I was out twice to get mail.  The second time KN was here so we had a nice chat.  He got all his corn planted.  Now we need lots of rain.  🌧  Let's hope.
    Temps dropping tonight then gets cold.  Chance of snow in the far NW corner of Kansas.  Chance of rain overnight here & all day tomorrow.  What a great fantasy.  Assaria will get it all.  As usual.
    One text from JR.  Nice email from JL.  Nothing from MM  Just photos of a concert he was at  & now at the airport.  No idea why.  I know nothing.  As usual.  Out of town football game.  I cannot even manage to get to Great Bend let alone a flight somewhere.
    Still nothing from my thursday group.  I deleted my texts since no one could or would answer them.  I am assuming we won't eat again.  I can go where I want alone.  And by thursday I might need groceries.  Will order to pick. up.  No more writing checks for groceries.
    Had poor sleep last night so took a nap this afternoon.  Slept ok.  Need to just learn to take at least a half or an entire anxiety pill at night.  I am just in so much pain & extra tiredness.  Joys of RA & weather.  Wish I had a support group.  Another fantasy.  Few family. & fewer friends.  None have time for me.
    There is a RA site I follow.  Every night they have a Roll Call ----- where we are & how we feel.  As close to a support group as I can get.  Nice to know I am not suffering alone.  Sometimes they ask in the morning also.  Members from all over the world.
    Saw no cattle or llamas.  Maybe poor timing on my part..
    I double checked to make sure that all my favorite shows on CBS are set to tape.  But today I missed one soap.  Watched it on my ipad.  Says it will tape tomorrow.  I will double check before that time.
    I see that Swedish people are reading my blog again.  Nice.  But Mexico has dropped out.
    I watched part of SNL UK last night.  The opening was all about the royal family.  They cannot be happy!  Funny.

04/2026 - Lördagen den 11: e - MY JOURNEY

 


Stage for the concert.  Nice small area for people to  watch & hear.  I even knew a few there.  Not all.  Only thing I missed was a cocktail.  Will plan ahead next year.  I know someone who can carry me a drink.



Today's Name Day (2 days);  Ingvar,  Ingvor,  Ulf,  Ylva


    Had an awesome day yesterday.  Supper at Jalisco's.  Good food & fun to see my amigos mexicana.  Then we attended the Jazz Walk.
    There is no way I can say how much I needed this evening.  Sick at home for a week and a half.  I saw no one & talked to no one.  Not healthy for me but it is my life now.  I have pulled up music from the Draper Band to listen to in my car or at home.  Tonight's concert was taped.  I look forward to hearing it again.
    The Jazz Walk is done by the Paul Draper band.  They walk down Main Street & stop at a couple of places to do little concerts.  Then back to the Sundstrom Convention Center for a concert.  And there are cocktails served but no one offers to carry one for me so I never get one.  Carrying food with my cane is not wise.  I am learning to do without a lot.  Today they did  old blues tunes from way back ---- 1960s through the 1990s.  Music was to die for.  My photos are all of the band & things about them.  Sorry I just don't know names.  I do good to remember my name!!!
    I was home around 2130pm.  I did my Spanish lesson that was awful but then too tired to blog.  After I got home we had a short rain shower.  Going to town it was foggy & drizzle.
    Today the town is filled with chalk drawings everywhere by anyone who wants to draw.  Lots of chalk is handed out.  And no rain to ruin the day.

Side note.  MM had complained so much about a local restaurant called China being closed.  (joking.  he knew why)  The owners have been in China for a relative's illness & possible death.  But they back here & China is reopened.  But MM had not been there.  "Too upset about missing his Chinese food".  Lots of teasing him about it.  Well last nite he went in to order take out.  I was parked right there so I had him pose for a photo op.  I posted it on Lindsborg Now.  That photo has over 100 likes & several comments.  All are fun!!!  Not one nasty comment or anything rude.  That is a miracle for my group.  Fun to see who posted!!!
