Today's Name Day: Sverker

     I have not had a good day. I got up around 6am. My entire body was in acute pain. I had trouble walking out of my bedroom. And back again.  It was dreadful..  The worst RA pain I have had.  Creams did not even help.  My pain pills helped some.

    A good friend needed me to give him a ride & I hated saying no but I just did not have it in me to go anywhere.  He understood.  Thank goodness.  I did tell him someone who might be able to give him a lift.  I will check tomorrow to see if might need me again.  Rain is easing tomorrow so I should be better.  I wish.

    I tried to take a nap but never could relax.  Even Cinder did not help.

    I must be getting used to my new Planner.  Took me less time today to find what needed.

    I almost felt remorseful for my supper.  JR forgot his bread sticks from Pizza Hut in my car last night.  They were quite tasty!!!  😇

    A couple of days ago Cinder rang the bell on the front door to go outside.  It was a nice day so I told her I was on the way.  She crouched down to go out.  She could barely walk from fear.  She crept to the east steps.  She did not sit.  She kept crouching.  Almost shaking with fear.  I did not go in or shut the door.  And I kept talking to her.  Then she crept over to the west steps.  I thought she might walk down them but did not.  Just kept looking around.  I never encouraged her to come in.  I kept the door open & just talked sweetly to her.  But she turned around and slowly came back in.  And almost hid somewhere.  Then last night in the dark at bedtime she wanted to go out.  Huh???  Not a chance.  Dark & scary.  Wish I knew what scared her so bad.  I prefer she stay in.  I would be so worried about her if she goes out.

    Very little communication with me from anyone today.  Just my friend & MM.  Lasts night several things in FB really touched my heart & made me cry with feeling.  And then the lack of  someone close to me ---- someone not just a friend ---- really made me cry at being ignored.  I wonder what I am guilty of now.  I have sent messages but no answer back.  This person only posts things I have no knowledge of so I could comment on.  Things I have no interest in.  And apparently what I post gets ignored.

    Photos today are seasonal.  Wish we had snow here.  Some is forecast for the NW corner of Kansas.

                        

This sign has been in the Õl Stuga forever.  I am related to the Train Brothers.  I would give almost anything to have it.

    I was given this cookie last friday at work.  Cute & very tasty.  Nice to have been given it.

Cinder slept on my bed most of the night.  I was not laying in her preferred position she likes.  She laid so she could look out the window.

Leaves & rocks from the front of the Old Mill last friday when I went home.  There was a huge leaf when I went in that had disappeared when I went home.

National Chocolate Cupcake Day

Today's Name Day:  

    Had a great day.  Slept pretty good.  Started my day meeting LL at the White Peacock for lunch.  I had my usual cinnamon roll.  They are the best.  From the bakery next door,  And of course some tea.  They were really really busy,  Good to see.  My fave artist & person came in so we had a nice chat!  MH is the best.

    Then on to work,  Still in Folder "P".  Got all the tiny photos done,  I hate those little things.  I do my best to keep them organized & not falling all over the place.

    Mexican food for JR & I.  Not bad.  Always good to see the staff.  Then I saw my assistant admin on Lindsborg Now was. there.  Not seen him in ages.  And got to meet his wife.  She is very nice.

    Dessert was the Barnyard Creamery ice cream.  Of course..  Just the best ice cream.  Still had cotton candy.  I am sure it won't last for long.

    Then home.  I was so tired so I had a short nap.  The only bad thing today was I was in almost severe pain.  Almost thought I would fall down the stairs when I got to work.

    I had a fun discussion with out new director about the college soccer teams.  A sad story.  Neither team has scored once yet this year.  Awful.  I remember when they were good.  Maybe next year.

    Photos are from my memories.

                            

Fun photos.  I wanted one with all 3 great grandsons in it. 💕

Painting by John Bergers of a building called The Fair Building.  Owned by the Train side of my family.  Not sure what all they sold.  Building no long exist.

Taken from the porch of the Mill.  I edited out ugly electric pole & lady walking

This was either last year or the year before.  Great yard.  Have to see what they do this year.  Loved this corner.

National Scarf Day

I love scarfs but not in summer.  Too warm.  Soon be cool enough. 

Today's Name Day: Dagmar, Rigmor

    Had a good day.  Worked again.  It was my coworker's birthday.  Ohhh to be so young again.

    Got done with all the tiny photos in the Folder "M".  Hate those tiny ones.  My scanning went pretty fast.

    My coworkers were looking for a photo to make it look like a piece of art & asked my advice.  Made me feel good to be asked for advice.

    Lunch did not make me feel good.  Who knows why.  I took a tylenol & that made me feel less than good.  Maybe they are too old.  I want advil but I am not allowed to take them.  I might buy a bottle for emergencies.  Advil is like one of my RA drugs & both hurt my kidneys.  I really need something for pain.  Not every day but on the worst days.

    Great weather.  50s & 80s.  Maybe no rain for the next 3 weeks.  Unheard of.  Sad.

    Supper was Mexican.  But I had a burger & fries.  No dessert.

    Got home & had a short nap.  I needed it!!  Cinder had been out all day but she came in then. Still in.  She never asked to go out & I never offered.  She did curl up on my chest for a while,  Liked that.

    Photos are a mix of edited ones & autumn ones.

                            

03 January, 2023 Wandering & Capturing Moments

    No blog today.  I had severe pain all night.  And bad enough I had trouble walking.  No sleep.  Got maybe an hour this afternoon.  I do not feel well.  I hope tomorrow is better.  Pain & an awful mood is not good for blogging.  Trying to be more positive this year.

                        

01 june, 2022 Wandering

    I had a really quiet day.  Not hardly any sleep last night due to severe back & leg pain.  I am so tired of it.  Dang.  I cancelled my entire day.  Just not up to anything.

    Great weather today.  No rain last night.  It was close but no rain here.  Wichita & area had bad storms.  Large hail & heavy rains!  They had 500 calls about stranded cars.  Still picking up cars today.  Many farm animals had to be rescued from the deep water.  We have more rain forecast for saturday, sunday, monday & tuesday.  Maybe our drought is on the way to being turned around.  For now anyway.

    I found my hall by my back door very wet.  I blamed Nico at first but not him.  Rain came in with the strong winds & heavy rains.  Dang.  Not too bad of a mess.  I had a blanket in the corner for Kisse.  It soaked up most of it.  Washed it last night.

    My brother JR had the nerve to write me that PM refused to give his Jalisco night up because I am sickly.  They ate without me!!  How could they??  JR did say that JS missed me.  Nice that someone did!

    I noticed last night that the water running over my driveway was not a gentle little stream.  More like a raging water fall!  The north side of my drive where the water flows has washed out.  Kind of bumpy but I can still drive over it.  And my nephew just fixed it with lots of rock.

    My photos tonight are all some shade of pink.  I am in a pink mood & with the awful things in this world the pink is comforting.  

    The cocktail picture of a cranberry juice & Swedish vodka.  Very good.  One summer years ago Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev, final leader of Russia, visited out town.  What an honor.  He gave a speech that I went to.  Afterwards he went to our local bar & this is what he ordered.  They did not tell him the vodka was Swedish & not Russian.  Was called a Gorbatini.

                    

 

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 237......

MY day was boring. My usual night and I feel like I usually do. Wish I should just get used to being in pain and get over it. No one wants to know or hear.

Worldwise it was an awesome day!! The US finally has a wonderful and decent and caring president. Might be hell until January 20 but we will manage. On a news show they listed the things he will do as soon as he can. Wonderful. Now they are talking about his religion. I like what they said. Maybe it is time I change. Maybe.

sat outside twice with Nico. Very windy again and forecasted wind warnings all weekend. I appreciated the wind. Blew all the bugs away from me. The male deer was in my pasture again. And I hear cattle mooing on our farm. None here yet but soon. I like having them here.

No special photos. Several of the detail of a mug I have from Morocco. I have several that are made by groups from other countries.
