Today's Name Day:  Linn, Linnea

I have known a couple of Linns.  One was a neighbour when I was a child.  He was murdered when in college.  Sad.  I have a cousin whose name is Linnea.  She turns 9 years old tomorrow.  I wrote her mom to tell her about her Name Day.  She was excited!

    Today was a bit better but not good.  My blood sugar is still not doing ok.  I sent a message to my doctor.  Hope she has some ideas what to do.

    I  cancelled all of today.  Supposed to have lunch out & a historical board meeting.  I sent an email to one of those in charge of the board but heard nothing back.  No surprise.  I also let LL know also.  I doubt I make it to work tomorrow.

    Another hot day.  I stayed inside mostly.  Tomorrow is really hot!!  The highest temp in history here for tomorrow is 101!!  We had no chance of breaking that record!!  Whew!!!!  That was set in the 1940s.  We will be over 90 though.

    I did see KN in is largest tractor drive by my house pullling a huge piece of farming equipment.  He was followed by his son CN in a 4 wheeler.

    Photos today are more flowers.  I took all of them.

Today’s Name Day: Karl, Karla

     

    Last day posting here.  Laptop comes home on Thursday.  I cannot wait!!!

    Stayed too warm last night.  Had to turn the heat down.  Way down today.  Way too warm.  House is ok at 74F now.

    I woke up feeling sick.  Did not last long.  Think it is nerves about tomorrow laser procedure..  Wish it was over,  Set my alarm for 5am.  No bueno.  Rest of the day was ok.  Little worse now but sure it is nerves.

    I managed to take a little nap.  I doubt I sleep tonight.  Dang.  During my nap I had several phone calls all about my laptop.

    Hard to watch the news seeing our country & the harming of hard working people.  And trying to hurt people on Medicaid, grants, etc.  I am ashamed of us.  How can anyone hurt people who are needy & sick.  Ashamed. 😞

    I need  to go get the mail.  Too lazy to go,  But will soon.  At least it is warm outside.

    Rain starts tomorrow evening.  Need rain so desperately.  Most of Kansas still hurting.

    My brother’s photos are getting arranged for his show that starts on Friday.  He talks on Sunday.  Be fun to be there.

    Photos now.

Today's Name Day: Love, Ludvig

    Not the. best day.  Or last night.  It was awful.  I put Cinder out around noon.  Got home from Salina around 6pm.  No Cinder.  That was odd.  I called her off & on all night.  And she never came.  I got really worried & had a major meltdown..  After losing Nico I just am not ready to lose another pet.  I sat outside & cried more than once.  And I kept calling.  And calling.  Finally around midnight Cinder was there but on the ground.  She would not come on the porch.  So I walked down to pick her up.  She did not run & let me pick her up.  And then I hoped I did not fall on the steps.  She in the house ran to sit on a table.  Ignored her food.  She acted scared.  I went to bed & she came to hide under the bed.  Wonder what has her so scared.  And why she could not come when I called her.  She finally came to bed & has not left my side since ----  all night & all day.

    My RA started flaring last night & kept getting worse.  By morning I could barely walk.  I am sure it was at least partly stress induced.  I had a lunch date & work.  I cancelled the entire day & rested.  Sad.  Would have been a fun day.  Better tonight.  Finally.  I fell asleep after lunch & had a so-so nap after being awake all night.

    Weather was ok,  Saw 45 overnight.  But upper 80s today.  And recored breaking temps this weekend..  I hate summer weather.  I hate dry weather.  Are we doing enough or even anything about our screwed up climate?????

    Not had many texts today.  But people did make nice comments on my FB posts about Cinder.  She has not asked to go out & I have not offered.  IF she asked the answer is no.

    I am about out of my V8 energy drinks.  I ordered more BUT I made an error.  Bought Red Bull.  Won't drink it.   They are dangerous.  Mess with your blood pressure & pulse.  I have enough trouble without that.

    The group that I created & run with another guy has 7,000+ members.  We have rules.  I just had someone write me to change our rules to what she wants.  Not how groups work.  Her suggestion would make my group a mess.  I am sorry she is having trouble getting help but not my problem.  If I break a rule for her then I have to for all.  Won't do it.  She can think I am a bitch & treat me like one.  It has happened before.  Won't affect me.  Start your own group.  Don't mess with mine.

    My photos are a mix of autumn, Christmas, Halloween, edited.

Me & my best friend JS for at least the last 10 years.  Wish he lived closer to here agian.  I had 2 others long before him but both have passed away.  I was with JS when I for word one had died.  Good not to be alone with those tears.

Today's Name Day: Eivor, Majvor

    Another quiet day. Poor sleep again until around 5am.  Had a bad storm before bedtime.  Cinder was out & would not come to the house.  I called her 3 different times as I saw lightning approaching.  (No wonder I had trouble sleeping). She finally showed up.

    Bad storm.  Heavy rain.  Almost an inch here.  Strong winds from 49 to 60mph according to the local weather depending where you live.  I felt my house jerk with a gust or two.  Scared me & made me cry.  Cats were skittish.  I hate being alone in storms.  Always bothered me.  Now there truly is no one with me.  MM did text to make sure I was ok.  And encouraged me to call if I needed anything.  And was texting with JR.  Tried to text JS but no answer.  My son's sister-in-law & I always check on each other.  Very nice family.  Glad we have stayed close.  When I went to bed I was visibly shaking & upset.  But who would know.  FML.

    I planned on a short nap but Cinder curled up on top of me & I enjoy that so as long as she was there, I napped.  Needed some love.  Alone again today.

    Off & on hip pain today.  Not bad.  Stress about coming weather & who knows what else.

    Ate big for supper tonight.  Had popcorn.  Too easy to fix.  Eat better tomorrow.

    My boss sent me a photo she found in the new photo donations we got.  It was a place I knew of but never seen a photo of.  Very cool.  I shared some photos I found in what I am working on.  And the stupid comments people make never ceases to amaze me.  Several text things they assume but have no way of knowing  Grrrr.  Just irritates me.  I try not to let it show!!!

    Photos today are a mix.  Some I took.

                    

Mine I think.

I took this one.

I took this one.

I took this one.  Love these seeds.  It has a large yellow flower that blooms only until around noon.  Then the seeds appear.  Fast.

I took this one.

I took this one.

I took this one.  One of my favorite flowers.

I had no idea.  Good to know.

 Mexican Independence Day

Today's Name Day is Eufemia

    Was an OK day until late afternoon.  Felt good yesterday & today.  Then I took a nap & I am sick again.  Super dizzy.  Think it is water in my ears.  Have had it before.  Mom had it late in life also.  Just not fun.  I searched about it & said it usually gets better in a week no matter what you do.  Great.  Maybe tomorrow will be better.

    Strange name day today.  It is my grandmother's middle name though.  Lucky I was not named for several of my relatives!!

    Nice weather again.  Had a chance for a thunder storm tonight but it looks like it missed us.  As usual.

    Photos are a mix of things.  Nothing special.  Nothing of mine, except the bison.
