10/2026 - Monday the 12th - MY JOURNEY

 




Today's Name Does:  Valfrid , Manfred
I went to school with a boy named Manfred,  He was from Germany.  And dressed in some cool German shorts.  I don't remember when he left but before high school.  Wonder where he is now.  Never knew a Valfrid.  Almost like Walter.


    Today was ok.  I had things to do but did nothing.  I ordered groceries & then realised I have a hair appointment right before it.  Think I can get the groceries first then get my hair done.  Should be ok,  I swear I thought may hair was next week,
    Only heard from JL.  Rest of the day was quiet.  I was tired.  Daisy gave me some attetion as did Cinder.  All 3 in the living room now.
    Severe weather has a chance of happening late  tomorrow afternoon.  And heavy rain for a couple of days.  And the low on the weekend is 34F one day,  Glad my furnace is working!!!
    My glucose sensor was up today.  I just changed it.  Then it takes 60 minutes until it starts working.  I always worry that I have done it wrong & it won't work.  But all is well.
    Supper was spaghetti.  With lots of cheese!!!  Pretty good tv dinner.  I have only found a couple I do not care for.  Turkey & dressing I cannot stand.  Something weird in the dressing.  I got one with penne pasta & chicken.  The chicken looks & tastes like hamburger. I can eat it but not what I wanted,  I tried a new one called a Burrito Bowl.  I love it.  Did not upset my stomach at all.  I thought JR might like them.  Forgot.  They have chicken in them,  He won't touch them then.  His loss!!!
    I am even done with  spanish tonight.  Not too hard tonight.
    Last night we had a skunk visited the outside of my house.  They never hurt anything but I can always smell them.  They leave & the smell does also.
    Still too warm tonight.  AC got too cold.  Turned it off for a bit.

8/2026 - Monday the 3rd - MY JOURNEY

 

Awesome old old photo of an old car & Old Main.


Today's Name Day:  Tage

    Today was an ok day.  Slept good last night.  A cool night.  Maybe rain around tonight & Wednesday,  Cooler tomorrow.  We also have smoke coming from western US,
    I tried to nap today but about 20 minutes later Dr. Baxa called.  Had a good visit.  Said my bones in the earlier xrays showed lots of bone damage.  But no swelling of joints.  Yet.  He is sure I have times when I am in lots of pain but not all the time.  He is ordering 2 new meds for me to pickup.  Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday.  I really like him.  Nice personality & thorough.
    This week is super busy.  Tuesday we vote here in Kansas.  Scary.  No maga for governor please!!!! And I have my last xray.  Bone density?  Work at the Old Mill on Wednesday.  The Mill board wants the historical board to join them in their meeting,  Totally screws my day up.  I cannot go all afternoon & part of the evening with no food.  My diabetes won't allow that.  Have to plan on bringing some kind of food to eat around 5pm.  Thursday I eat out with my thursday group.  Friday I am working for MH.  I have ignored him too much.  He has a show at SVAFC in september.  I Want to give him extra time to paint.  But I am not working on saturday.  I need a break.  Time to take care of me.  Then on monday I go to Hutch for a doctor's appointment.  Sheesh. Then a normal week.,
    Today is MM's oldest son's birthday.  He will be a second grader.  No news on his party.  Hope I am included.

Recent photo of Atlas, Sorion, & Mikael Jr.  Jr is the birthday guy!

 I gave up on a nap.  I had some large bags of trash that I needed to get rid of.  Bet I found 10 bags of trash and more,  Hard to carry them all out.  Daisy just had to be in the way!!!  But I gave her treats for helping me.  I did sit outside for a short time so we could cuddle. I threw away some boxes from outside.  I am done.  I know that my blood sugar got low.  Need supper now.
    saw I got more mail outside.  Get it later.  Too tired now.
    Around noon a "son" from Bangladesh texted me.  We have trouble texting.  Our times a so far apart.  But nice visit.  And photos. Known him for several years.  He always calls me Mom.  And he wants to own a farm like I do.  Need to send him some photos of our cattle and our llamas.  All are gone for the summer.





My ancestors.  First guy is Knute Train.  Third guy is a Train also.





My Swedish memories. First heart is eating crayfish.  Second photo is me & a statue called a snaphans.  Maybe.  Third photo is me in someone's field & with a rune stone. Last photo is me with one foot in Norway & the other in Sweden.

Best cake ever.  Normal birthday cake in Sweden.  But can we get on in LBK???  No.


What I would not give for a real Swedish breakfast.







I am tired!!!
