Month: February 2020

We were so tired today and slept in a bit. Waffles for lunch was nice as a treat. It’s been quite windy outside today (they say a storm is on the way) so we haven’t been out much. I hope my parents will be alright traveling back from Finland tonight by boat.

We were invited to my parents-in-law  for dinner tonight to celebrate my mother-in-laws birthday. She had made us a three-course-dinner with coffee and freshly baked goodies for afters. Lovely. We gave her a couple of jigsaw puzzles for her birthday, I hope she thinks they are fun to put together. Puzzles can really be a different experience depending on the picture, size of the pieces, colors etc.

Friday already. Where did this week go? Needed something to do so I took a quick walk over to my parents and enjoyed a nice chat and a coffee. Also borrowed some new puzzles and their puzzle-blanket. Walked back home again and had lunch with my sons. Then a delivery arrived with a present from my colleagues – some sweets and a jigsaw puzzle! How thoughtful! Made me so warm at heart and appreciated. They know me so well. Thank you!

Slept really good last night for a change. Great. After breakfast I decided to go for a walk and I decided to challenge myself a bit and walked the 2.7k trail in the forrest. With the walk back and forward to the forrest I walked 4k all together and was gone for almost an hour. Yeah!

After lunch I had a massage appointment – lovely. Now filled with new energy I made a chocolate cake for us when I got back home. Also helped my youngest son to fill out a couple of more applications as the schools are now opening up for applications. The last ones he is interested in opens in mid March before you can apply there. After that it’s just to keep our fingers crossed and hope he gets accepted somewhere.

A good day with plenty of rest. Perfect.

I love jigsaw puzzles. The right ones are the best therapy. This one we started three days ago and it’s already finished. It was a fun challenge. The last puzzle was not. Unfortunately, this one was also missing one piece. Too bad.

I’ve had a good day at home. Been out taking a walk in the sunny weather. Relaxing. Both my boys were at home all day so I have had some company. Chatting with friends and talking to my mother and mother-in-law on the phone. Now some sofa time watching some TV.

Sometimes you need to stop and think and listen to the signals your body tries to tell you. I am going to stay home for a couple of weeks and take a time out – try to relax, reclaim my usual happy focused self and feel better again.

Tonight I had a perfect ending of an emotional day – my oldest niece picked me up from work and we had a great chat (thank you for listening) over a nice pasta meal and then we took a walk thru the city and had a coffee / hot cocoa before we went back home. Just what I needed.

So, if I don’t reply as quick as I usually do – bare with me. I have not forgotten –  I’m just off the radar for a while.

My friends gave us these lovely tulips when they came over for dinner this weekend. I love them! Thank you!

I slept quite good last night fortunately. I was worried I might not since I had a lot on my to-do list today.

I took a walk after work since it was such a lovely day today. But cold! I’ve been relaxing and working on our new puzzle – it is so much more fun than the last one! I sit down and get all caught up in it.

It was such a nice evening last night. We went to bed around 2AM.. so a bit tired today. No plans what so ever – just do the last dishes and tidying up. Sit in my corner and relax.

My friends gave me lovely tulips last night – I love tulips. One bouquet of pale pink/white ones and one with yellow/pink ones. So pretty!

A very nice weekend among friends and family. Just what we all needed.
