Oh the dreams of fools.....

Today's Name Day:  Botvid, Seved

    Just a day of rest.  No plans.  But got an email from someone to work an entire weekend at the SVAFC.  I am  free that weekend.  Very cool.

    I slept extra good last night.  No idea why.  But I liked it.  Still had a good nap too.

    I swear after lunch I heard a car door outside shut.  Not long after I got a notice  that some mail had been delivered.  Went out just now to bring it in.  There is nothing anywhere.  What did I hear then???  No reason for KN to be here.  Odd.

    There was no Cinder this morning.  I got up & had the TV on.  I fixed my lunch.  No Cinder.  I got worried.  I called her several times.  Still no Cinder.  Kisse was all over me.  Pretty soon she showed up.  She has a sleeping nest where there is sunshine.  Probaby all warm & cozy.  Been around ever since.

    Have started drinking more tea.  I have some cold brew  tea bags.  Brew in a short time.  And very good.  Have one that is berry flavored.  I remember one I got in Sweden that was I think forest berries.  It was better but mine is ok.

    Got an email from JL.  And several texts from MM.  He as to move stuff around in his house.  Maybe showing it tomorrow.  And the floor replacement guys.  No bueno.

    Rest of the day was quiet.  As most of my alone time is.

    Hot & humid today.  I saw 97F here.  Last night was rather cool.  Good for sleep.

    Photos are drawings & several flowers.

Wishing......

Today's Name Day:  Marta   

Best one was my Aunt Martha.

    Not a bad day.  Wish I had slept better.  But naps helped.  Cool overnight.  Miserable weather today.  I saw a temp of 98F.  Humidity was awful.  I hate summer.

    Had to meet MM at the Stuga.  I got there at 5pm.  Stuga was closed & locked up.  Never seen that.  They closed early for a pool party for those who work there.  MM & ZR were cleaning up.  I did not stay long.

    I then went to the car wash.  Car looks better.  JR & I ate at Pizza Hut.  I had a sallad.  So good.

    Since I ate a sallad, my blood sugar has been low 3 times.  Odd,  Should have went for ice cream but I was full

    Took a short nap when I got home.  Then up to try Spanish.  Very hard lessons now.  No fun.  But I made it through tonight's lesson.

    Photos are flowers.  And one autumn photo.

 

07/2025 - Sábado the 26th - JOURNEY

 

We were married in Minneapolis KS.  Midafternoon.  Lived in an apartment in Salina.  Mom promised me a reception but there was never anything done for us.  Maybe had one shower of classmates.  Last time I saw them.  They all went to college or moved away.  Really not friends with any of my classmates.  Decided I won't help with my class reunions or attend.  They are all friends.  I am not part of them.

Today's Name Day:  Jasmine, Jesper

The only Jesper I know of is a Swedish golfer.  Have a cousin Jasmine.

    I had no sleep last night.  I tried.  And failed.  Had a couple of hours before lunch & a nap this afternoon.  Too much on my mind today.  Good memories.  Bad memories.

    Today would have been Willie's & my 59th wedding anniversary.  For the most part no one ever remembered it.  Mom always did.  Her two sisters in Denver always did.  And one Denver cousin always did.  But Mom & my aunts are long gone.  My cousin has forgotten this year.  She has a lot on her plate.  We were almost always harvesting wheat so we rarely celebrated.  No celebration or remembrance this year.  If I had not posted our photo no one would have remembered.  Should have taken me out to eat or something.

    I remember all our many, many trips to Vegas.  I remember Willie driving a semi hauling cattle or grain.  I went as often as I could.  Love riding with him.   We rarely took a real vacation but we went away for weekends sometimes.  Wichita or Kansas City.  Miss getting away.  It rarely happens now.  Never KC.  Wichita for doctor appointment.  Always alone.  No one to ride with me.  We did take a couple of Colorado trips that were vacations.  Not often.  Love Colorado.  No one to go with now.  A few years ago I did ask someone close to me to ride with but all I got was being ignored.  No answer.  Same as a NO.  Never asked again.  Never will.  MM would like to take me away but with 2 live in kids he has no time.

    The last few years of our marriage was not good.  Willie had dementia.  It was much worse than I realised & started much earlier than I was aware of.  People knew but no one talked to me.  And at same time he became an alcoholic.  I am sure there were times he came home but had no clue who I was.  He deserved much better.  So did I.  I dealt with all that alone.  Kids were there but already planning to take the farm away from me to keep just for them.  Not a good time.

    Hot today.  No more rain until next midweek.  Tomorrow is super hot.  🔥.  House is hot today.  Awful.

    Short message from JL & MM.  A photo was liked by CW.

    Been trying new microwave meals.  Get tired of the same ones all the time.  Chicken with pasta.  Chicken with mashed taters.  Beef with mashed taters.  There are others on my list.

    Photos are some flowers, some drawings.
