Month: October 2018

Back to work again. A short day with a lunch date after work. We had a great couple of hours – she had prepared a lovely lunch and we even had a glas or two as an extra treat. Lovely. A mid-week luxury!

The sunsets from last weekend were amazing. As usual. They will be fond memories to look back at when the winter darkness comes rolling in.

Early start today. Bus back to Stockholm again. My dad took me to the busstop after breakfast and the bus picked me up at 07.50. We were just a few passengers down to Kalmar but then the bus was filled to the last seat. 7 hrs later I arrived in a rainy capital to attend a meeting at work before I could go home to my family. They had prepared dinner which we had together – nice. Now I’m tucked in my corner while I’m running a machine of laundry and a machine of dishes. Back to the real world again after being hiding in the stress-free zone for a few days.

Another day with mixed weather – some wind, rain and sun. We dared to go out for a short walk while the sponge cake was baking in the oven and it wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. We also went to Sandvik to get some more groceries before it was time to sit down and have lunch.

Now we have had a lazy couple of hours. I’ve been knitting for a while and we have watched some taped shows on tv. In a minute my aunt and uncle will come over for afternoon coffee.

We saw that Stockholm has received the first snow today – I hope it melts away quickly and is gone by the time I get back tomorrow. I’m not ready for winter just yet.

A lovely day in our paradise – winter time started today.

We were able to go out for two walks today – one before lunch and one after lunch – when the sun came out for a bit. On our second walk it started to hail as we came outside but it stopped fairly quickly.

We’ve been taking it easy today and I’ve helped my parents with some computer stuff. Other than that we haven’t done much. Just relaxed and enjoyed being here. Now we are full after a lovely dinner and crashed in our corners for some sofa time before it’s time to hug the pillows. One more day to look forward to before I have to take the bus back to reality.

I slept so good last night. My stress-level was down to normal and I felt relaxed and rested.

We went grocery-shopping this morning and made plans for the next couple of days.

It’s been really windy and rainy most of the day so no long walk today, I’m afraid. Tonight we could enjoy a fantastic sunset as we had dinner. The sun was already gone by 6PM and now it is completely dark outside. A few hours in front of the tv before it’s time to hug the pillow. Lovely.

A long drive down to our paradise. My parents picked me up this morning and 6 hrs later we arrived in a rainy paradise. No sunset tonight. Hopefully another night.

A couple of days down here with no musts or have-to’s will hopefully get my stress levels down to a more healthy one. They’ve been going up and up for a while so I need to break the bad circle.

Now I’m tucked in my corner with a cozy fire burning. Just finished dinner and now we are just going to crash in front of the tv with a glass of white and enjoy the peace and quiet.

A very long day – the first half spent at the hospital for a routine checkup for my youngest. It took forever due to an emergency that demanded our doctor’s attention. For two hours. Puh. Arrived to work after lunch to complete a full day in half a day. Busy busy.

After work I met up with my husband and we went to see a pre-view of the new movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” which is about the legendary rock group Queen. I loved it. I love the music and the actor playing Fredy Mercury was excellent. I can really recommend to see it.

Today it was 70 years since the United Nations Day was celebrated the first time. This day every year all the buses are decorated with Swedish flags. It is also a national flag day but we always forget to put it up.

I was supposed to have lunch with a friend today but she was feeling poorly so we postponed it for next week. So I ended up having lunch by myself. Salmon with potatoes. Picked up some groceries on my way home and I will make burgers for dinner. Packed my bag for the weekend too – or started to anyway. I hope the weather prognosis will improve though.

An extremely busy day with a fun ending. After work my sister came to my office and brought us something to eat before we headed down to a cinema close by for a movie. Our first employer had a customer-event and treated their customers to watch the movie “Lyrro”. It was fun to see our old boss – I met him a few weeks ago, but my sister hasn’t seen him for 20 years or so.

The movie itself was not to our liking but it was fun to spend the evening with my sister. Always a treat!

New week again and a quite busy week ahead. With both important meetings but also with a lot of fun. I got in early to work this morning – wanted to get some stuff done before everybody showed up. Felt good.

I didn’t sleep so good last night so I am very glad I could go home early. Need to breathe a bit and relax. Important day tomorrow so I need to be focused. Have a great week, everybody!
