My Life Today

Posted on April 2, 2003 by ksmiley





After spending the night at “Aunt” Donna’s house with Mom and Lonnie, and Donna’s husband Bob, Mom, Lonnie, and I depared a little before 10 a.m. or so. We got the truck and camper packed up and the dogs in their travel crate and on the road we went. But before we left Berlin, WI, we went to the cheese factory near Bob and Donna’s place and got some cheese. Mom and I love cheese – especially cheese curds and cheddar cheese. I got some crumbly extra sharp cheddar cheese that is three years old. We also got some five year old sharp cheddar cheese for Bob which we went back and dropped it off as a thank you for your hospitality, then off we were once again to Janesville. As we were driving about an hour and a half into the trip back to Janesville, I had to stop for a bathroom break. That is so annoying sometimes! After the stop, we headed off again to Janesville, where Mom and Lonnie made three stops at Farm and Fleet, Preferred Pets, and a gas station to fill up the truck with gas. The last half hour seemed like a nightmare somewhat because I had gotten cramped up from having to go to the bathroom. It was kind of bad yet I did not want to leave the dogs, Flyer and Shadow, in the truck alone. Shopping sometimes bores me to death. “smiles”, After the drop off, I was so glad to be home although I did not want to leave my mom at the time. Tears did not flow down my cheeks thankfully.

My day went well. I am so glad my day went ok

A Quick Entry Tonight From My “Aunt’s” House

Posted on April 1, 2003 by ksmiley



It was a beautiful day all day long. The family of Clarence Fox had a beautiful day for the burial. The sun shone brightly. The wind blew a bit but not real bad. The collage almost lost a couple of pictures and the “What is a Grandfather” Poem, but it held on thankfully. Right now Mom, Lonnie, and I are visiting “Aunt” Donna and “Uncle” Bob tonight in Berlin, WI. So far so good, the visit is great. Mom and “Aunt” Donna are catching up on old times. Lonnie and “uncle” Bob are in the kitchen chatting about their hobbies. Guns…oooooh, not quite myy subject, lol. I saw the gun and cringed!! YUCK! I do not need a gun for protection – that’s for sure. Anyway, the day has been good all day long. Even after the memorial service, we went to “aunt” Nellie’s for a gathering and lunch. It was a full house at “Aunt” Nellie’s, too.

More later…Good night…bye.

The waiting for my mom to call me is getting really nervewrecking right now. Good grief, only hours before Grandpa’s memorial service now and the wait is almost over.

In So Many Ways

Posted on March 29, 2003 by ksmiley



As far as people leaving nasty comments at other diarists entries, I think that is downright rude and nasty. If anyone leaves a nasty comment, look out! I will ban you in an instant, believe me! Rude and nasty comments are NOT welcome here whatsoever!! Dear Diary created a place for those who want to share their lives, feelings, and thoughts. I am willing to share my thoughts and feelings. We do have a right to vent and say what we wish to say but leaving nasty comments brings others down. Those who leave such horrible comments are people who probably feel tough and do not have a life themselves that is not a very happy one. People have been made with feelings for a reason. Again if anyone leaves a nasty comment and does exclude my DD friends who will not leave such horrible comments, I will delete the comment right away and ban the person from writing a comment again. I have done it to a couple of people already and from reading their own entries, all I saw was negativity in theiir journalsl. I will not, at any time, give anyone advice or leave a comment that I will soon later regret because I was so emotional at the moment. I too have feelings and if I see a comment at a DD friend’s diary, I will go on the defense…believe me! I am not joking even though I will not write a nasty comment back to that very person who left a comment. I only tell it like it is without the nastiness. If I tell someone something, it is out of concern, kindness, and nothing but the truth from this heart of mine.

A Special Entry – A Special Report…

Posted on March 29, 2003 by ksmiley



I am usually not here during Sabbath hours which are from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown but sometimes there are things that need to be said or written before my mind goes bonkers over what it is going through. Anyway, praying for our troops in Iraq is very important at this time. I am so very proud of our troops for fighting a good fight even though I am against war. I am one of those people, crazy as it sounds, who thinks that war is not the only way to make peace with another country, especially if that country hates us so much here. As a US citizen for 32 years, I find that hatred is found in our own country by many people already. Now for someone, from another country, coming over here to destroy lives by crashing two planes into the World Trade Center towers of New York, that is downright cruel and nasty. I am, no matter what other people think, I am against the idea of war, even though it is going on over in Iraq right now. I am proud to be an American and proud of the troops fighting over there. Our country is hated by other Americans as well as other countries. Hate means to love less and it is a very strong word to use even though we use that word as part of our everyday lamguage among other words that are not positive as well. I do feel very uncomfortable about the war even though I am proud of the US troops fighting over there. Lives will be lost thee too. we need to pray for our troops! GO!

News of the day…the sun tried to shine earlier this afternoon but it never got sunny. Kind of depressing if you ask me. Spring is definitely here in WI. YAY! The weahter has been warmer for a change of pace but we did not really hhave much of a winter truly. it gott pretty cold at times but we did not have much snow. If it snowed, it disappeared just as quickly as it came. Today, a cloudy day all day long, I did not want to go anywhere with anyone. I left my apartment only once after getting a bath in after 11 a.m.. I got dressed only to go get the mail in the mail room on the first floor, and I did not get anything. My mailbox was completely empty today. Phooey! After doing a mail check, I came back up and slipped into my pajamas and have stayed in since. I got one call from my friend Mark who was returning my call from earlier this morning but that was all. I have not had any company today and wish to have none to be very honest with you. I want to be left alone anyway. I am not in the mood to have company tonight period. I am mfeeling blue yet today. As a matter of fact, I took a cat nap about 3 p.m. – dozing off while watching Judge Judy. I had awakened to the feeling of hunger. I am ALWAYS hungry because of the medication I take for my kidney. I had a couple of waffles with peanut butter on them. Not bad but I could have had something else better than that!

I am home today from school since I do not need to be at school today. The weather is cloudy and it did rain sometime during the hours I slept. It looks a little cloudy but from talking to a friend, it is to clear up later in the afternoon. I will believe it when I see it as the weather can change so quickly. The temp is in the 50’s at least so it is not cold outdoors. I closed the window in the livingroom because it was a bit chilly at 8 a.m. but it is now 10 a.m. — two hours later.

WHy do I feel a little detached? I do not know yet. If I try to fish for the answer now or ever. I have fallen into slumps like this before many times in the past and I have a feeling that my feelings these past few days are justified and yet there is NO excuse for feeling blah for so long. When my grandpa’s memorial and burial is over, will I feel right again? I hope that will be the answer to my feelings right now.

Not Wanting to Do Anything!

Posted on March 26, 2003 by ksmiley



Here I go again…that feeling of the heart aching again and I just want to run and hide. The only problem is this…I am already home and my door is locked so I do not have any unexpected visitors, and I had to turn down a visitor earlier. I am not feeling like being around a lot of people this week. Even Monday proved it to be that way. Today, at school, it was not so bad but I did not want to around too many people – just a select few. I did not want to go to my 11 a.m. class, whicj is really not a class for me to worry about. Idid stay at school until 12:15 p.m. or so and while I was going to the bus, my neighbor Bill walked by me and I asked him if he was ok since last night when I did not get an answer at his door after I tried to call on him…so I got a ride home today instead of riding the bus. My moods are shifting real bad and very fast. I want to cry but it won’t come out. The wanting to cry will not stop haunting me this week. Thank goodness I do not have to go to school tomorrow. I think I am falling into a depression. Grandpa Clarence will be buried next Tuesday, thankfully, and the Clarence Fox Memorial is five days away from tomorrow…whew! I am happy and sad at the same time and it is driving me bananas here. I have to survive this…I have gotten this far and I can go farther and all the way. I won’t and can’t give up whatsoever…NEVER!! My mood swings will soon pass!!!
