Month: January 2020

Friday and my oldest had a half-day exam and wanted to meet up for lunch when he was done. Fingers crossed he passed – it is always hard to know. Anyhow – I’m glad he wants to see us for lunch. Special time!

Today they replaced the towel drier that wasn’t working properly – minor issue with a light not showing if it was switched on. But, now it is working as it is supposed to which means our bathroom is finally all done. Yeah!

Almost reached the end of the week. I’ve been so tired all week but quite busy and able to complete a lot of things. Looking forward to the weekend still. No plans – perfect!

Still no working phone – our supplier have promised we’ll have it back the 12th. So, if you need us – use our mobile phones or send a text. My phone has been giving me some grey hair too – with problems uploading media files to this site among other things. Oh well.

Midweek and my short day. No overtime today (well.. almost). I had made an appointment to get my nails done and now they are pretty in pink again. I choose an old favorite – watermelon – and the nails turned out great. Just the me-time and treat I needed.Slept a bit better last night but still not quite good enough. Maybe tonight. Need to slow down a bit. I’m glad I got this afternoon to myself. Going to start dinner soon and enjoy a nice meal with my boys. All three of them.

Back to work again! For some reason I wasn’t able to sleep last night so I was not well rested when the alarm went off this morning. But, I had to drag myself up and go into town anyway.

A long first day but I got a lot done and it went by quite quickly. We still don’t have any internet so our phone is still not working. If you need to reach us – text us or use messenger.

Last day of this great holiday well spent with another kind of sport – handball. My parents came over for an afternoon coffee and then we drove into town to cheer on our team. They managed to win 46-29 towards Boden and are now in the lead position with one game more played than the following teams. A fun evening together with my parents!

Had made a lasagna for dinner before I left and it was perfect to enjoy when I got back home again. Now time to go and hug my pillow and get ready to get back to the real world again tomorrow.

One last chance of coming back with a medal – the bronze game towards Finland. It got a bit too exciting but we managed to win 3-2 full time. No need for overtime. Yeah! Good job! Only one lost game in the whole tournament (the semi final).

I even got some company in my corner the last part of the game – we have switched internet supplier and something went wrong with giving us a new ip-address so we don’t have any phone or internet for the moment… good to know if I would like my boys company another time. Lol. Now we are going to watch a DVD together since we can’t watch anything else on line (no Netflix or Viaplay either).

This morning I went to pick up my new glasses – amazing how quick they were done! I’ve been wearing them all day and they seem to do the trick even though they take some getting used to.

This afternoon it was the first semi finals in WJC hockey and Sweden faced Russia. It was an extremely tight game which led to overtime where Russia scored the first goal. Bummer. Now we’re playing for bronze tomorrow instead of in the final. Who we are facing depends on if Finland or Canada wins tonight.

My husband received a gift certificate for his birthday last year and so did my youngest son and youngest niece so they decided to do something together. Said and done. Today they had booked a session to try indoor wing suit flying. Me and my oldest niece came along too, but just to see what they did and take some photos. I think they were happy with their new experience – even though it didn’t last very long. They all managed with flying colors though and the instructor was very positive and praised them!

Afterwards we went over to KFC for a snack – we haven’t tried that one in Sweden before. It was very crowded so we had to wait a bit for our bowl.

Now a quiet evening at home – we enjoyed the spa (no rain outside tonight) for a bit and now we’ve crashed in our corners for a bit.

Vacation day. Slept really good last night and woke up quite rested. Nice feeling. Got up and watched a couple of episodes of “The Crown”, season 3. It is really good and quite educational.

After lunch we took a long walk – first over to my parents to tend to their house and then to pick up a parcel we had received. We were gone for almost 1,5 hrs. Good exercise. I feel so immovable and lacking energy. Need to get going again.

Tonight me and my sister and our friend C have been to see a feel-good movie called “Last Christmas”. We liked it a lot. Afterwards we had dinner and a coffee before it was time to head back home.

Now the last 20 minutes of the quarter final Sweden – Czech Rep. The other three finals have already been played today and Canada, Russia & Finland are thru to the semi finals. Fingers crossed Sweden will be the 4th team.

Got home really late and slept in really late. Lol. What a fun evening and I’m so thankful for my friends and family. Now we have a new decade ahead – it’s going to be interesting to see what it has to offer.

Now a long day in front of the TV doing as little as possible.

We have a couple of episodes left of the “Black Earth Rising” series – it is actually quite good and I recommend it. It was recommended as one of top 5 series on TV and I can understand why.
