- Duel 4 – Méndez feat Alvaro Estrella – Drängarna
Finale-time next weekend. Let’s see who will represent us in the Netherlands.
Friday and I’ve completed my first few days working half-time. And I have climbed a lot of stairs this week since we have 115 steps up to our office on the 5th floor.. 3 more weeks without elevator.
Saw my doctor after work and everything is on track and nothing wrong as far as blood tests or blood pressure which indicates that it is fatigue syndrom like they though. She said I have to pay close attention to how I react next week when work gets busier and more of a challenge than it was this week when everyone was on winter holiday.
Now we have a whole weekend ahead to relax and gather energy for next weeks challenges. First out the finale of “På Spåret” – may the best couple win!
Winter arrived after all. Why? If we haven’t had any snow so far – why must it come this late? It has been snowing for two days now but it isn’t that cold (only around freezing) so it is also very wet on the streets.
Worked my hours today and it went ok. I haven’t done much work yet but I’ve started to do this and that. I get really tired quickly so I’m thankful that I can take it slow. Hopefully it will give me a chance to get back to my usual self.
Made burgers with boiled potatoes and fried onions for dinner. Served with some lingonberry jam. Yum.
Time to get back up on the horse again. First day back to the real world again. It had snowed tonight so the ground was white today. Brrr. Had a hard time sleeping too so not a great start.
We don’t have an elevator at work for the next 3 weeks due to repairs so 5 floors climbing every day. But, my colleagues were amazing and welcomed me with a coffee and carrot cake which was lovely and very appreciated. Spent my 3 hrs chatting, catching up, filling in on things they needed my help with. No computer time for me today. Stayed and had lunch with my colleagues before I went home.
I got more tired than I had imagined I’d be. Arriving in Fruängen I missed my bus and the sun was shining so I struggled thru the last part and walked home. Yeah! Feel really proud of myself!
Today my youngest turned 20 years old. Amazing how time flies. He and I have spent the day together – a quick visit to the hospital for tests and picking up meds and then an errand to the grocery store to choose the goodies for the birthday celebrations. A blueberry princess-cake was the centerpiece for the celebration but we also acknowledged the fact that it is “Semmel-tisdag” today. Tonight our family came over to enjoy these goodies and they all pitched in towards the new computer screen that he wants to buy.
Happy birthday, son! You and your brother mean the world to me and I couldn’t be more proud of you both! Love you!
Monday. Two more days at home before I start to work again on Wednesday. Cleaned downstairs and decided to clean the drain under the zink in the laundry room. It was gross – and when a 2 inch spider appear I decided I was done for this time. Lol.
The tiger-puzzle was really beautiful and fun to put together. Now I have to wait before I start my next one since we are having guests over.
Tonight an old friend came over to check out our bathroom and try our spa. It was great to see her and really nice to sit out there and chat for a while.
Now a cup of tea and an episode of “Homeland” before it is time to hug the pillow.
Woke up early today and didn’t sleep very well either. Don’t know why. Maybe it is the thought of going back to work that is starting to effect me. I hope not.
We’ve been really busy today and cleaned the windows in our living room. Changed curtains and took care of my flowers too. Lovely. Also took down the tiger-puzzle and enlarged the table to prepare for our birthday celebrations on Tuesday.
Tonight I have been with my parents to cheer on our team in handball. They managed to win even though the opponents got a bit too close for a while. Now I’m tucked in my corner ready to play in the Duo-app with the program “Så ska det låta”.
Time for the fourth part of the Melodifestivalen. Once again we are invited to my sister for taco-dinner (they have the best mello-couch – lol).
Tonight the whole family will be together which is nice. We will bring a cheese tray and crackers.
A grey and rainy Saturday – not very nice outside so no walk today. I am really tired too.

“It is allowed to be non-productive and not feeling guilty about it”. Something I need to learn.
Today it was a very sunny day so I went for a 4k walk before lunch. After I got home I have been really tired all afternoon. Relaxing and working on my tiger-puzzle. Almost done!
Made dinner for the family and now we are all cuddled up in our corners enjoying a lazy quiet Friday evening. A couple of more days off – then I’ll go back to work on Wednesday.
This morning it was -7C outside. Brrr! As the day went by it got a bit warmer and sunny. I have been really tired all day – probably because I wasn’t able to sleep last night. Don’t know why.
No walk today but I did go over to Kungens Kurva to do something. Found a blouse I liked and a new pair of jeans. I need a new pair of dressy pants but no such luck today. The only pair I found were way too long (not easy being as short as I am buying trousers).
Picked up a grilled chicken for dinner and made oven baked potatoes, broccoli and cream sauce to go with. The troops finished their plates.
