Blogg 05/03/2012 doctor, Hugo, Red Barn…

2012-03-05T22:02:00.001-06:00

Weather remains too warm. It is to be almost 80F tomorrow. I am not liking this. Maybe rain mid-week. I do not believe it.

Saturday I worked in Lindsborg at the Red Barn Studio. Quiet day. Fun artist is there. I like having her in the studio. Marsha was there all day. No tours. Got a lot of work done in the owner’s database. Nothing is put in the same. They will all match eventually.

Sunday was a quiet day for me. No lunch out. No Messiah. And Willie never suggested we go to town in the evening. Of course not. What was I thinking!

Today I had a fasting lab test. Thought I would die last nite. Wanted food and water. Then this afternoon I saw my family doctor. My cholesterol was great!!! I was scared it would not be. I got a tetanus shot and a whooping cough shot. Will get a shingles shot next year. Doctor has a new nurse. She is sooo nice. And paid me 2 compliments. *2* I am not used to that. She made my day big time!!!

Late this afternoon I watched Hugo. I loved it!! A cool movie.

Busy busy week this week. Probably good I had a restful sunday. Be my only day of rest this week!

Blogg 02/03/2012 Swedish group, banking…

2012-03-02T20:32:00.001-06:00

Weather remains too warm. It was almost 70F yesterday. Today we are only 50F. Of course, we have had no rain. We were supposed to today but it was sunny!! Had a little wind that was a bit chilly.

Yesterday I met Janet, Beth, and Marian at Moka’s for lunch. And hours of talking!! Had so much fun!! I am lucky to have such good friends and we are lucky there is such a wonderful place as Moka’s.

Today was my Swedish group in Lindsborg. There was only 8 of us there. So sad. We met at the local library. I love meeting there. Easy day for me. No coffee to fix. We looked at some old books, photos of a friend who lives in Ecuador, and we reviewed some Swedish words that were part of a book we are reading. A fun get-together.

I took myself out to lunch at Jalisco’s, but I had no appetite. Not sure why. Then I drove to Jerry Ivey Park in Salina. I took photos of the ducks and geese. Then I read for a while. Then I had an app’t at First Bank Kansas. I am closing a bank acc’t and changing to First Bank. My present bank charges me if I use the drive through or go in to the teller. Ridiculous. Plus the First Bank is who does the bus trips I go on.

2012-02-18T23:34:00.001-06:00

Weather is a bit cooler today. We had light rain overnite. Extremely light. Maybe rain on monday.

Yesterday was my Swedish group. We seem to get fewer all the time. Only 11 there. How much longer can we go on? Used to have 30 every week. All the ones who enjoyed have either died or gotten too sick to come. And no one younger can be bothered. They say good things about us but truly do not care or several of them would show up once in a while. Ha.

I met Naomi, Betty, Keo, and Linda in Assaria for lunch. Several local women cook the noon meals and it is great food. Great farm cooking!! Yesterday they had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and pie. I had coconut pie. Mmmm.

Today I worked at the Red Barn in Lindsborg. Quiet day. Several people were in but none for tours. And Mary came in to have me help with a computer problem. Well, really a software problem. No problem. An easy fix. Nice to see her. We had time for a little chat also.

On the way home I drove past some neighbours farm who raise goats. They have many kids now. Sooo cute. I opened my window to take some photos and they were sure talking to me. So fun to hear!!

Tonite it was steak nite in Marquette at Rusty’s. The. Best. Steak. Ever. None of Willie’s friends were there so it was a quiet evening meal. But sooo gooood.

Blogg 13/02/2012 Taxes, ice, nap…

2012-02-13T23:15:00.001-06:00

Weather is still bitterly cold. The snow quit around midnite then nothing. Then this morning and all day we had rain or mist or whatever. Roads turned to ice. Glad I could stay home. Felt cold in the house all day. I early on added a heavy sweater and heavy socks to my attire.

I had the nite from hell last nite. Had an update for my Blackberry. Said it might take 2 hours. Took much longer. I tried to stay up until it was done. Gave up finally. I had many odd dreams. Then a major cramp in one leg. I almost had to get up to walk it off. I swear I saw every hour on the hour. I tried to sleep late. Ha.

Spent all morning working on my Blackberry. Had to sign in to everything again. I got FaceBook to work and Twitter to work but not emails. Somehow after googling for help, I stumbled onto where I could readd my emails. More work than I planned. My phone had quit holding a wallpaper that I wanted. Works now. And my Google sync always gave me an error message but it worked right. Now no error message.

I had a doctor’s app’t today with a fasting lab work. But my blood sugar went low and I had to eat. Cancelled it all until march. I was not going to drive on ice anyway. Has to be a life threatening event to get me to drive on icy roads.

Took a long nap this afternoon. It was cold and dark out. Perfect nap weather.

Finished up with taxes for real now. Got my report printed out and Willie does whatever he does. And now to deal with a new accountant. Hmmm. IF we did paperwork every month we would not have to do nothing. IF. He refuses to work with me. Asked for years. Have now given up. If it is my idea or something I want, not gonna happen. So I give up and expect nothing.

Watched the Grammys last nite. Good show. Could do without rap music. Just not my thing. Same for Taylor Swift. I loved seeing Paul McCartney and Springsteen, the Beach Boys. Awesome!!! I was never a Whitney fan and her death does not change that. The show did a nice tribute to her. Sad she died so young. She had so much to live for. Too bad she could not see that.

Blogg 02/02/2012 Quiet week, soon rain…

2012-02-02T20:50:00.001-06:00

Weather has stayed warm but there is a blizzard warning for tonite and tomorrow for NW Kansas. We might get rain here but not holding my breath. Schools are already cancelled for tomorrow out west. According to the radar, there is rain here now. Must not be hitting the ground.

Tuesday afternoon I had acupuncture in McPherson at Healthy Lifestyle. Lord, I needed it. My back hurts constantly. Hard to even turn over in bed. Dr. Tina did some different needles. Helped a bit. Will return in 2 weeks. This cannot continue. On top of this Willie is worse than me. He gets a cramp in his thigh/hip. Then he can hardly move or sit. He finally called his chiropractor. Finally. I am worried that it will just get worse and then what? There is no family to help him, maybe our nephew. But we cannot impose on anyone. More stress. Never ending.

After my appointment I went to Lakeside Park. No one else was there so I sat wherever I wanted. And the geese were nearby. Took lots of photos. I love it there. Very relaxing, a rather zen time. Should go there more often.

Tuesday nite Messiah Chorus rehearsals began. I have not sang since 2009. I just could not sing after Mom died. She sang for 63 years. One of the longest singing members. But my emotions are better this year. This is my 20th year. My back about killed me but so be it. I have missed singing. And thinking of Mom was ok, even good. I did lots of acupressure and that helped my back a bit. Will start before the next rehearsal.

Blogg 28/01/2012 Work day…

2012-01-28T21:43:00.001-06:00

Weather turned chillier today. Mostly cloudy. No rain and no chance of rain.

I started the day by burning the tips of 3 fingers on my curling iron. Truly not fun. Trying to get ready for work and did not have time to mess with them but I took the time. I soaked them in aloe. Hurt like hell for a while. Look fine tonite and no pain or blistering. Idiot.

Work was boring. No tours. Long visit with the artist. He leaves tomorrow. I will miss him. He is one of my faves to have around. Later I had a long visit with 2 friends. Good day for chatting!!

Downloaded a couple of apps on my Nook Color to help me be healthier. See if it works. Something has got to get me motivated. Just has to.

Rest of the day quiet. No tv for me tonite. All basketball. Don’t really care. One team I dislike lost. Whoo Hoo! But then a good team lost but 1 or 2 points. Rather watch a good movie or a good futbol match.

Blogg 27/01/2012 Busy friday…

2012-01-27T21:26:00.001-06:00

Weather turned really windy this afternoon just like we were warned it would. Not real cold out though but felt rather cold. Still a desert here.

Had my Swedish group this morning in Lindsborg at the Bethany Lutheran Church. I was sooo surprised when I got there that this week’s hostess already had the coffee made and the table set. Wow. No one ever does that!! How very nice. And then she got up a bit early at the end of the program, and cleaned all the kitchen/table/coffee pots up. Very very nice. She made my day!

I met Paul and Sally at Pizza Hut. They are getting new kitchen floor and new carpeting. How lucky. I can only dream. Our carpet is ruined because of our dog but no chance of getting it changed. I cannot have anyone come over here. No family get togethers here ever again. I am just too embarrassed. And I am not allowed to do anything on my own to make our lives better. It is soo hard to watch everyone else I know get new homes or get to remodel the home they live in. And they all have actual houses. It is not nice to be jealous but hard not to be. Oh well. Too late for me. I am glad my friends are lucky.

I had some shopping to do in McPherson. Had trouble finding what I wanted but finally did. Then I went to Lakeside Park. Hoping to take photos of geese, but none in the water. All too far away.

Took a nap this afternoon and woke up with my acid reflux in full swing. Felt awful. Took a couple of pills and now ok.

Blogg 22/01/2012 Snow…

2012-01-22T19:39:00.001-06:00

Weather stays quite cool and tonite we have SNOW!!! Real snow!!! I went out in it for a bit. Have to enjoy it while I can since our drought is to only get worse. Has very strong winds over nite and this morning.

I worked yesterday. I had 4 people come in but not for tours. Nothing to do with me. It was nice to have some action in the studio but still had a boring day.

Last nite we went to Marquette for steak nite. Been a long time. The bar has been closed. Could not sell it so it is open again. Best steaks in the world. The salad with it sort of sucks, just lettuce. I forgot to bring my own dressing and a baggie full of crouton, dried cranberries, feta cheese, etc. Now that is a salad!!

Met Sally, Paul, and Kenny at Pizza Hut for lunch today. Easy to eat there when I have to work. Nice to visit.

Worked again at the Red Barn in Lindsborg. It was beyond boring. Not one person came in. The artist left as soon as I got there. He will be back tuesday. Boring. And caught up on my computer work. Did I say it was boring.

NOT a good day for me. The pilot light on our heating/ac unit went out last nite. It will not relight. We have no heat except for out portable heaters. We had trouble all last summer with it. And now we are having trouble in the winter. It is older than dirt. Literally. There is a simple solution but….. I have no say. My stress level is again through the roof. Repair guy will be here early monday morning. Very frustrating. Sort of feel I have no where to turn. No can understand and no one cares, so I will quite whinging.

2012-01-20T16:32:00.001-06:00

Weather is really really cold again. In the teens at nite. I almost roll myself up like a mummy at nite to get warm. But much better than being too warm. Of course, no rain or snow. Nary a chance. Very sad. Today was cloudy most of the day.

Swedish Group today in Lindsborg at the Bethany Lutheran Church. Had a couple of members who had been gone for a while. Good to see them. And we got to sing Du gamla, du fria with piano!! That has not happened for a long time! Our program was to watch a video about Birger Sandzén. Very good!! Lots of old photos of where he lived in Sweden and of his family. We got about half of it watched. Will finish the next week.

I met Sally for lunch at Jalisco’s after group. Had my usual Arroz con pollo!!! With a dieta. And the key word there was frio!!! Mucho frio!!! Great good. Better visit.

I made a quick stop in the White Peacock before going home. Got an ice tea. AND. A new painting. It is awesome and I love it!! Painted by Jackie who is part owner. I had a painting there picked out and then I saw this one. Now it is mine. MINE!!!!

Stupid Word Press deactivated my blog yesterday for violation of their TOS. I emailed them but no answer yet. Now I don’t care. Have switched it to another site. Screw ‘em. I like to link to places I got whether a town, state, business, or whatever. Someone reading in France my have no idea what say Walgreen’s is. I am not advertising for them or anything but I think WP thought so. Well, if my life violates them, I will stay away.

Trying --- TRYING --- to watch American Idol. What a challenge. It started with some kind of scraping sound instead of sound. Then I got sound but the picture was black. Then the screen turned bright yellow. Then normal then black and then yellow. See how long the normal lasts now. Not my tv. This channel frequently turns yellow. Well, it is Fox so who knows.

Blogg 19/01/2012 Busy week!!!

2012-01-20T14:37:00.000-06:00

Last weekend was really quiet. I had the stomach flu so I stayed home from work. No lunch out on sunday. Everyone was busy elsewhere.

I did watch the Arsenal game over the weekend. A good game but we came up a goal short. Still fun to watch.

Monday was my hair app’t day. Got my hair cut, coloured, and styled. Very nice to be pampered. After my app’t I picked up Beth and we ate BBQ. And talked!! Had a good visit.

Tuesday I went with Elly to the Webster Conference Center for a luncheon given by Bank One. The do the bus tours we go on to see plays in Kansas City. Good food. They told us about the tours for the coming year. There is a Canadian train tour I would kill to go on. But no such luck for me. Far too much money. And a Colorado trip is doable but no one to go with. Sad. Would be fun. We are doing 3 trips this coming year.

Yesterday I spent in Wichita. Shopped at Sephora. Ate at Jason’s Deli. Will eat there much more often. Their food is organic without all the additives the American food is full of. I had Chicken Alfredo. Excellent. Then I saw my diabetic dr. All is well. Then I drove across town to shop at Ulta. It was a disappointment. I love the ones in Denver. The one here was bad. No one greeted me or asked to help. And they had all the cheap brands of stuff I can get at Walgreen’s.

On the way home I stopped at the White Peacock for some peach ginger iced tea and to read a bit. Love it there. The best place ever!

At my dr app’t I told him about my 5 week cough. He said from my symptoms I probably had Whooping Cough. Wow. He said it would have done no good to see my family dr as there is nothing to do buy ride it out.

About food additives. One of the best thing about being in Sweden is all the food is real food. No additives or anything fake. My friends/family there have never heard of HFCS. Amazing. It is in almost everything we eat. And so harmful. Why do we let the food corporations do that to us? And all the imitation flavours instead of the real thing. And MSG. And on and on.
