Blogg 02/04/2012 Funeral, nap, frenemy, futbol…

 

Weather was just a few degrees cooler today than yesterday. Right now some severe storms to the west and NW of us. Might come our way. Might not. I am voting for not. We do not be able to catch a break.

 

Today was the funeral of a friend’s mother. A small graveside service. Very nice. I was glad I was able to attend. It was in McPherson Kansas. Afterward there was a nice dinner at the First Presbyterian Church. They served a corn beef casserole. That is true comfort food for me. Mom always made it. And so do I. Always at harvest. Our crew has always liked it.

 

Before going home I stopped at the White Peacock in Lindsborg for a zen moment. Needed a quiet time to sit and read. and have some ginger peach ice tea. Then I went home and took a nap.

 

I was considering going to Wichita tomorrow for some retail therapy but have decided not to. I will order what I need. Might ---- MIGHT---- be rainy tomorrow. Planning on a jammie day instead!

 

Tonite I finished the futbol match between Canada and Mexico. What an awesome game!! Mexico scored big time and Canada had no chance. I am so jealous of my friend who was there. Willie has on the KU game now. I am not a KU fan so I do not care who wins. I used to work with some KU fans who were beyond obnoxious. And it did not matter if they won or lost. Awful sportsmanship. That was when I learned to not like KU. Still know a few like that.

 

A former friend decided several years ago to little by little cut me out of her life. For the last several years our friendship has consisted of spending no more than 1 lunch with her a month. She is just toooo busy for anything else. When my parents died, I was lucky to get a card from her. When my best friend died, she blew me off. When we lost our home to fire, she was too busy travelling to offer anything but a humourous card. Now a few months ago she got all bent out of shape that I did not give her enough attention for something. I had a reason, but she refused to listen or meet with me. I guess she cannot understand that just because I am out and about and appear OK that maybe all is not. No one knows what I am going through inside or in my private life. Now I got an email from her that bordered on sarcastic. I sent a pleasant email back. But she replied with one that was meant to hurt and make me feel small. Why do people behave that way? I have decided that I am done. Will ignore any future emails. There will be no communication between us for any reason. For a very long time she always made me feel inferior to her and I should have dropped her then. Now. Done venting.

Blogg 30/03/2012 Futbol, art, Swedish group, mojito…

 

Weather is just too warm. The house is too warm. The A/C needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, that is not my decision or right or privilege to do that. So, I suffer. There has been rain in the state, but nary a drop near my farm. What else is new?

 

Everything blooming is about a month early. Our wheat is headed out. IF we get a freeze in april, our crop is cooked. And that could happen. Time will tell.

 

Wednesday I had acupuncture. She did the normal needles. I have no idea what has changed but my back pain is a bit less. I have done nothing different. I am not pain free, but better. Hmmm.

 

Today was my Svenska Vänskapsgruppen, Swedish Friendship Group. Actually had a nice group. I had bought a 1900 Messiah poster/article. I brought it and read the text then passed it around for the group to see the photos. It sparked so many memories of Messiah festivals of the past. So much history and so many memories. This was Alf and Maud Brorson’s last meeting with us. Oh, how I will miss them. They leave the monday after Easter. Alf told us about Påsk – Easter – in Sweden. Wish I was there. I always wish that.

 

I took myself out to lunch at Jalisco’s. I surprised Eric there by learning a new phrase all by myself. ‘Muy sabroso’. That means ‘very tasty’. Francisco and I had a fun talk about futbol!! Finally. Someone I can chat with about futbol!!! Most people around here have no idea there is such a thing or any of the players. The waiters from Jaslico’s play futbol every sunday afternoon. After Easter, I am going to watch me my first live futbol match!!!!

 

This afternoon I worked at Lindsborg Collects. My last time. It was fairly slow. My friend Naomi came in to chat a bit. Good to see her!!!

 

Came home tonite and had a mojito. Ended the day just right!!!

Blogg 28/01/2012 Work day…

 

 

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.
