Today's Name Day:  Lilian, Lilly

Years ago had a friend named Lilly.  My mother-in-law was Lillie.  Had a great aunt Lillian.

    Had a good day.  Slept good.  Felt good.

    Worked at the SVAFC.  Love MH's work.  He is so happy with his show.  Makes me happy to see him happy.

    Had some visitors.  I worked for DM this weekend.  He came in today to get something from our back room but he stayed a while so we could visit.  He is one cool person.  He can come in to see me anytime.

    Another guy came in ---- MJ.  He is an artist & teacher & Sandzén board member.  I did look up his art on Instagram.  I fell in love with what I saw.  Be nice to become his friend.  Will see him again on the 28th.  Good.

    I had planned to eat at the Stuga but they were too busy.  People were cheering for a ball game.  I would be not part of anything or anyone.  I went elsewhere.  A nice relaxing meal eating alone.  And all the help came to my table to talk with me & to see if I am ok. 

    Got warmer today but the air still felt coolish outside.

    MM got to go with one of his best friends to a college football game.  Lucky him.  I never get to do much of anything except lunch out on friday noons.  

    I miss having a group of friends to do things with.  I used to have a fun group.  Then one day 2 of them decided they did not like me.  And turned really nasty to me.  Accused me of all sorts of things.  Broke my heart.  Hard to trust anyone now.  But I miss being part of life.  Alone is so difficult for me.  I am too socialable. 

    A newer friend is now in Hawaii.  Lucky her.  I would give almost anything to get to go back there.  It is gorgeous & the people are super nice.  Oh, the dreams of fools........

    Love the cooler weather.  Nice getting to wear some long sleeved tops.  Great.

    Photos are a mix of things.  Nothing special.

Historical Stave church in Norway.

Today's Name Day:  Alfhild, Alva

    Cancelled today.  Pain & no sleep.  Cancelled tomorrow also.  But I have terrible guilt feelings. Today is JR's birthday.  I feel like I am not snapping back to normal since my accident.

    Had a severe weather warning.  I had some mail to bring in from my porch.  I had just sat down there when the wind suddenly surged at a severe speed blowing dirt & trash.  Hard to see down my drive.  Scared me.  Barely got back indoors & it was over.  There was huge hail & heavy rains in this area but I got nothing.

    I took a nice nap with Cinder cuddling me.  Now both cats are sleeping near me.

    Had texts from MM & a text or two from JR.

    My artist friend who just went back home to Iowa posted the paintings from his show at the Red Barn, just for me since I missed his show.  I saved them all just for me.  I really liked one of his.  I sure miss him when he is gone.

    Last night I forgot to take my insulin at supper.  By the time I remembered it was far too late to take it.  My night was much better.  Blood sugar did not vary too much.  Skipped it again tonight.  See how my night is.

    Photos tonight are mostly autumn ones.  I love autumn colors.  They are my colors.

Good friend already wished me Happy Halloween so I think this photo is ok.  One of my faves.

Today's Name Day:  Louise, Lovisa

I have known one Louise.  Couple of years older than me & sort of a neighbour.  I see her once in a while & friends with family of hers.

    A better day, sort of, today.  RA & depression have ruled my life for a few days.  Sorry I could not be here.

    Our weather is beyond wonderful!!  Our low was 60F.  High hit 70F before supper tonight.  Heaven.  At last!!

    I have done nothing but sleep for 2 days.  Hard to stay awake.  Odd.  Maybe fighting getting sick.  I was exposed to someone with a cold.

    I am sure the weather is nice outside but I really did not care.  I had mail to sort outside & carry in. Some heavy things.  I do not feel better.  Just more pain.

    I am glad that MM got a weekend away with a friend.  Fun to see him looking happy & enjoying life.  I am glad for him.  Starting work this weekend.  The huge boot he is wearing on his broken ankle but had has permission to wear a smaller brace.  Got to feel better.

    Had rain last night.  Got 0.33".  Nice.  More on the way on Wednesday.  No lightning or thunder or wind.

    My spanish got a bit easier.  Nice but that won't last.  Never does.

    Saw someone riding a small vehicle in my pasture.  They never saw me.  And there are no cattle in the pasture so who knows what was going on..

    Photos are a mix.  Too tired to sort them tonight.

This is a princess tårta cake. A traditional birthday cake in Sweden.

My babies --- Kisse & Nico.

Love being there, love the statue & park, love the song.
