Pink tulips

Love tulips and this time of the year you can really treat yourself. The color of this week – two shades of pink! Brightens my day. Mindfulness. 

Short day today and most of my chores had to be postponed due to various reasons. Ended the day with a nice lunch with a colleague before I went home. Now I’ve done a lot of laundry but also enjoyed some quiet time and a nice cup of coffee before it’s time to start dinner. Making teriyaki tonight I think.

Pyssel hos N

Äntligen fick vi ihop en träff med vårt pysselgäng! Första gången på 3 år som vi ses hemma hos någon av oss. N hade fixat en jättegod middag med efterföljande fika med gottis. Så trevligt! 

Vi planerade in förslag på nästkommande två tillfällen (så vi har något att se fram emot och redan fixat datummässigt sett). Härligt! 

Haircut

There was a full moon this morning when I went to work. Quite pretty in the purple sky. Winter is back and there is snow on the ground again. 

Back to work again and my shoulder feels a lot better now. Just some stiffness left but I’m ok for most of the time. 

After work I had an appointment at my hairdresser. Haven’t seen her since after the summer so it was about time and well over due. But, now she has added some color and shortened it a bit. Perfect. 

Snowy day

Managed to sleep in a bit after a great evening last night. Loved having my sis over for dinner and spa and then the rest of the family joined us in time for the Mello-premier. Afterwards we played jackbox-games until it was time to say goodnight.

Today we have done the grocery-shopping since we skipped it yesterday. Now it is snowing a lot outside but my hubby will go out running (crazy). I am tucked in my corner with a coffee which suits me much better.

My shoulder and neck are still quite sore but much better. I can lift my arm and head again which is great progress. Just hope the stiffness and pain will go away soon too.

Mello – 1

Time for the first part of the Melodifestivalen and we are back to some sort of normal again. We will watch the first part at ours tonight together with my sis w/ family.
LAN-day today so we’ll see when the players will get back, but my sis will come over for dinner together with me and our youngest who has to studies to do.

5. Victor Crone – Diamonds – semi finals
6. Eva Rydberg & Ewa Roos – Länge leve livet
7. Jon Henrik Fjällgren Arc. North feat. Adam Woods – Where you are – finale

Working from home

Whoaah what a night I had. Hurting so much I could barely turn in bed (and I usually turn a lot..) . My hubby told me to stay home today since I haven’t slept and hardly could get out of bed. Good advice. So, I went back to sleep for another hour and then I worked my hours from home. 

I’ve been on painkillers all day and used my heat pad on my shoulder and neck. From time to time the ache has gone down just to return with full force a while later. But, I feel much better than what I did last night so fingers crossed I will be able to sleep tonight. 

No need to say I didn’t cook dinner tonight so we picked up some pizza instead. Now some corner time before it’s time to hug my pillow. 

Naprapat

An emergency medical visit with a naprapath that tried to fix my shoulder with all the tricks she had in her book. She managed to resolve some of the issues – and now I have a muscle soreness from hell to suffer thru. Follow-up appointment next week. 

This is one of my favorite songs and with the pain I’ve had today it felt appropriate – Everybody Hurts – Song by R.E.M.

“When your day is long. And the night, the night is yours alone.
When you’re sure you’ve had enough. Of this life, well hang on

Don’t let yourself go, ‘Cause everybody cries, Everybody hurts sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong, Now it’s time to sing along.

When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on). If you feel like letting go (hold on).If you think you’ve had too much. Of this life, well hang on. ‘Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts”

Snow

The lovely spring-like weather from yesterday disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Today it was snowing and really cold again. Brrrr. 

A quite productive day at work and stayed a bit to finish. Got home and had a late lunch. My left shoulder has been bothering me all day so I have been trying to cure it with my heat-pad, painkiller and corner-rest. But I did also some laundry and prepared dinner so I was a bit useful too. 

New season of the Netflix-serie – Alice in Borderland. Watching a couple of episodes tonight.
