Month: September 2018

Trying to figure out what to put in our suitcase. Always a challenge. Don’t want to bring too much but I don’t want to regret not bringing this or that either. And it might be chilly and it might rain. So we need to be prepared for all sorts of weather. Both for hiking and maybe fine dining. Oh well. It will be alright.

My parents came over to say hello and enjoy a quick coffee. They will be home during our time away so we have a safety net if our kids need some assistance. Or dinner. Or company. Perfect! Very valuable  to me. I am not worried for the kids though – they are very responsible and able to take care of themselves.

It will be an early night tonight since we are getting up at 4 AM tomorrow. Might not be able to post so much here during our trip but I will try to at least post a daily photo. We’ll see.

Sitting in my corner after some time in the spa and enjoying a glass of Talisker. A very special whisky my husband bought for me a while back. Lots of flavor. And quite strong. A treat for job well done and to celebrate the first evening of our vacation.

It’s been a crazy month since we left Öland. An emotional rollercoaster. Fun and challenging. But also stressful and tricky. Now I am taking a time-out from work to gather some new energy, be among friends and family and focus on being happy and position myself in a good place again.

Since my niece has started working we are having trouble finding time for our lunch dates. So this morning we decided to try something new – breakfast! We met up at the commuter train station and found a nice breakfast place in town at the Centralstation. Great start!

After a busy day I was able to get some me-time and made an appointment for a back treatment. It’s been ages.

Got dinner on the table for the troops and now I’m not moving. Completely exhausted after the massage. I will sleep like a log tonight.

A sunny day and I got off early which was perfect since I am running way behind on some stuff. Spent a few hours catching up on things needed doing and then went home. Felt pretty good to tick those things off my list. And to cook dinner for my family which I haven’t been able to do for quite some time. Nice!

A slight hiccup for our trip though.. our ferry has technical problems and has been taken out of use and they have re-booked us for a later ferry, which is great. However this decimates our visit by several hours and we didn’t have that long to begin with. Oh well. Let’s hope it will work out fine anyway.

Fall is here. More rain today. And a semi-busy day at work. Looked at the weather prognosis for our trip and it looks like we will enjoy our vacation in rain. Oh well. I think the trip will be amazing either way. Worked two long days in a row now and the rest of the week I will be able to work shorter days which is great. Managed to book a massage appointment on Thursday and I also need to buy a few things for the trip. And then I am close to ready to take off. Yeah!
