10/2026 - Saturday the 10th - MY JOURNEY

 

Today's Name Day:  Harriet , Harry

I was in a school with a Harry.  He was a couple of years older.  When I worked at the hospital our chaplain was Harry.  The best!!  When I went to church with Mom & Dad with we sat with a sweet lady named Harriet.  Mom had a friend named Harriet.  Both are nice names of nice people.

    Today was ok.  No energy.  Email from JL.  Spent today just resting.  Boring blog today.

    Warmer today with high winds.  Still blowing at around 25mph.  Our low was 63F. Our high was 90F.  Rain starts around tuesday then cooler.  No complaints from me.

    Got a photo from AN.  She is delivering fuel to the field.  KN is planting crops.  I was never good enough to do that.  I only did food & helping moving equipment from one field to another.  I hauled the crew.  I miss those days.  And the people who worked for us.

    Hard for me to have no human contact but my cats sure try.  Daisy follows me everywhere.  She tried to go outside yesterday.  I managed to grab her & then I almost fell.  I am scared she would go & not come back.  Too many scary animals outside.

    Watching the end of a foot ball game.  Do not like it.  The players are all tough acting & almost violent.  I prefer soccer where the players are pleasant & seem happy at plays.  No violence.  Although I have seen some get upset.  I did see the end of a soccer match before my nap.

    Friends in Sweden took a trip.  Loved their photos.  Cool trip.  Glad for them but sad for me.  I cannot go anywhere.  No one to travel with & no one to help me travel.  Getting older & alone is no fun.  I am jealous of friends who have kids & grandkids & friends.  Had a long conversation with a friend who recently lost a family member but he has so many others.  I am not so lucky.

    Finally.  Foot ball is over.  And one of my shows is back on.  Life is good.

    Need to eat supper.  Nothing sounds good.  Maybe peanut butter & jelly sandwich.  Then Spanish lesson.

Back from my days feeding birds.  I enjoyed those days.

We used to have lots of turkeys around our yard.  They loved the wheat in our yard after harvest.  Miss them.

Daisy is watching a soccer match.  She really was focused on it for a while.

Nico & all his babies.

Main Street in Lindsborg showing from the right:  New tea room that is not open yet, flower shop, Sale BARn on the corner.

Tea room sounds cool.  Selling different teas, oils, spices.  Open soon I hope.

Today's Name Day:  Adrian,  Adriana

When I worked at the White Cross nursing home the owers' last name was Adrian.

    

    Not a good day.  Fell asleep early in bed. Slept nice for a couple of hours.  Then I woke up & that was that.  No more sleep.  Not even in the morning.  Combine no sleep with the increasing pain from my RA was not good.  I did not work today.

    I had hoped to fill better & go out for supper but when I woke up after my nap I just could not get up out of bed.  Slept longer & cancelled supper.  I hate to cancelle work because I like being there but I am learning there is  no one else to take care of me.  Or even care.  Found that out today.  Ignored by everyone except JL.  No one from work even texted me.  I was terrified they were mad at me but I got a nice text this evening.  Must have been a busy day.

    I usually eat out with 3 friends every thursday but tomorrow is cancelled.  No idea why.  I am relieved with that decision.

    With the stormy weather in Kansas last night I got nary a drop of anything,  Coming weather is fog thursday morning.  Storms forming in Oklahoma moving into Kansas in the evening through Friday morning,  Then another band of severe weather starts in Kansas friday night into Saturday morning,  I am in this one also.  Wonder if I get a drop or two.  Then next week around tuesday more storms.  Area is not set yet.

    ​I made a comment on a my fave weatherman ---- Ross Janseen's post.  I complained how the rain always misses my farm near Falun.  And he even answered me asking me how he can help!  If only he could control the weather.  I thanked him & complimented him & his dog.  Just a kind & fun moment.

    I looked out my front door & my llamas were in the pasture again.  Be ready tomorrow about the same time.

    I signed up for Netflix again.  My fave guy on SNL has a special on there.  Want to see.  Found a movie about Pricilla Presley, two about Marilyn Monroe, things from a fave comedian, & several movies that look good.  There are some foreign shows but not what I want.  I prefer British or Swedish.  And clever, not bloody.

    Photos today are mostly ones I have taken.  Not new ones but from the recent past.

            Photos from the White Peacock patio on a nice day

Love this photo!!

Today's Name Day:   Jennifer, Jenny

In my box of fotos there are several of a childhood friend named Jennifer.  Wish I still knew her.  No idea where she is.  No one knows.  Unfortunately my last daughter-in-law is Jennifer.  I think many problems with my kids all started with her & her greediness.  The worker at Bethany Home who always drove Mom & I to Salina & Wichita to doctor's appointment.  She is a special person.  I see her in town once in a while.  She was & is a blessing.

    I woke up early today & my first thought was "work".  I thought I had another hour to sleep.  Then it hit me ----- Monday!!! No work!!  Very cool.  Back to bed!!

    Had a little rain today ----- 0.38".  Our usual nothing.  Stayed cloudy & cool.  I just turned my heat on.  Feeling better.

    After moving the box of photos out of one of the cats' nests they both laid in bed with me to nap today.  They will survive.  Several other nests remain.

    Not much communication today.  MM is working & has texted me several times.  His boys are back in Wichita.  I fear for them the neighbourhood they live in.  Got my one photo a day from CF.  Little communication.

    I have a doctor appointment this week but am cancelling it.  Will reschedule it.  Just too tired. 

    I wanted a collage app on my laptop.  I finally found a free one that works fine.

    Not happy with the weatherman.  Loving the cooler weather but he is all excited that the 80s are returning this weekend.  😫. But not for many days. Then more 60s & 70s.  😀

    I have mail on my porch to bring in but after supper.

    Fotos are seasonal today.

 

Made a collage of Kisse & Cinder in boxes.  "If I fit, I sit."
