A lovely day today. Sunny but chilly. Accompanied my oldest son to a doctors appointment and went to work after that and started my day late. After work I treated myself a manicure (haven’t done that in ages) and tonight I might pay my parents a visit. Husband has a work-thing tonight so it’s just me and M at home.
Spring equinox
Time for spring to arrive! Days are getting longer again. But, there is still snow everywhere and below 0C at night. Oh how I long for spring now! My friends in Europe are posting pictures of green grass and sunshine.
Long day today. Arrived home to a set table – chicken w. rise for dinner. Then we went in the spa for a bit before we crashed in our corners to watch the latest episode of “Homeland” that we recorded the other day. I hope I can sleep tonight – last night thoughts were bothering me all night. Think I slept 4 hrs. Not good.
Pyssel hos S – 19 mar 2018
Pysseldags! Vi fick en vegetarisk gryta med aubergine, kikärter och tomat till middag med goda tillbehör! Smarrig morotskaka till fikat! Och mina snälla vänner ägnade kvällen åt att hjälpa mig tänka lite och bolla idéer inför min fest. Känns som att det mesta är på rull – nu måste jag bara invänta svaren från mina gäster innan jag kan planera klart. Tack för en härlig kväll!
Cleaning day
Woke up extra early today. Why???? But it was really sunny outside so we took a morning bath in our spa. Nice. Then breakfast and ready to face the day around 8 o’clock. Not so bad after all. We spent the morning cleaning the house – dusting, changing curtains, doing laundry etc. And then I went over to IKEA for some shopping – need to prepare for my upcoming party.. The next 3 weekends we are going to be busy with other things so we need to make the most of this one. But, we made time for a 3k walk in the lovely weather!
Last night my nieces team-gym team almost swept the floor with their competitors – they managed to get gold in floor, gold in tumbling, silver in trampette and also gold in the overall. Yeah! *So proud aunt*
Weekend !
Managed to sleep in until 07.15 – yeah. Got up – had breakfast and then ran a few machines of laundry and did the dishes. Then we went to buy groceries which we skipped last weekend so the list was a bit extra long. Now we have enjoyed raw spiced salmon with potato salad for lunch. The sun is shining today and the snow is melting slowly but surely. Yeah! Almost almost feels like spring in the air even though it is still quite cold. Tonight we are going to cheer on my youngest niece competing in team gym. Haven’t seen her compete in a while so I’m really looking forward to that. Afterwards we might go out for dinner. A nice start of the weekend. And one more day to enjoy! Lovely.
Sunny Friday
Friday and the same freezing morning as yesterday but very sunny. Went for a couple of errands on my lunch break so I could enjoy the nice weather for a bit. Catch some daylight.
Today we had an after-work gathering – just some cheese and crackers with a glass of your choice to go with. It was a lovely couple of hours – just to sit down for a bit and chat with my colleagues. We will have 4 of these evenings this year – no dinner or going out afters – just a couple of hours after work.
Crashed in my corner now with a movie on Netflix – The girl on the train. Haven’t seen it before but I have read the book.
-10C ❄
This morning it was really really cold again, -10C. And still snow all over. And as the day passed it has been snowing several times more. But, it has also been clear blue sky and sunshine in between the snowing. I am sooo ready for spring now. Our garden is still covered with snow and no flowers are in sight yet, so I guess I will have to keep a bit longer.
Treats
This morning I needed a treat. Haven’t stopped for a coffee on my way to work in a long time. But today it was time. And it was lovely. Short day at work and it was quite productive so that was good. Then after work I met up with a dear friend for lunch – haven’t seen her since November so we had plenty to talk about and catch up on. Her and her husband had just returned from a couple of weeks in Sri Lanka and she could really recommend going there. Might look into that. Tonight both me and my hubby felt good enough to enjoy our spa again – haven’t been in it for weeks. So, a day filled with treats!
Snow rain ?
Horrible weather today. This morning it was raining pretty bad going to work. Then it started to snow instead. And now temperature is dropping so it might get really slippery by tomorrow.
M got through another test today – it was really difficult and he is not sure he passed, but he gave it a go. Now he has one more day of challenges before he can take the weekend. Another exam day on Friday so two days to prepare.
I need some time in our SPA. We haven’t been able to enjoy it for almost two weeks now due to illness. So, cold – go away! Please.
Time
Time to get back to the real world, ready or not. He got the flu 10 days ago and is still not fully recovered. But, exam-week doesn’t care about stuff like that.
I went to work this morning and I was fine most of the day. But, now I’ve crashed in my corner feeling a bit feverish and dizzy. Maybe I should stay home for a bit – keep my husband company who’s still at home since last Tuesday. Our family need a fresh start, some good news and definitely more energy. Let’s hope Easter break will bring all those things for us.
