Friday – already.. wow.. good week – long and short at the same time, if you know what I mean. Filled with fun things. And now a whole weekend with track and field to look forward to. My parents have gone to Finland to watch it live. Finnkampen that is. I have never seen it in Finland but plenty of times here in Sweden. I have a lot of great memories from that competition. I have been working on every one in Sweden from when I was about 13 years old until I had my first child. A long time filled with great events.
I was watching a couple of guys working on the roof across the street from work today – a work where the sky is the only thing above them. I am very afraid of highs – so that is definitely not something for me. But I like the idea – of having a job which can really allow you to develop and explore new things. Where the sky is the limit.
Pizza..
What a day – a lunch with my BFF (best friends forever) really put the silver lining on a long day. And what a lunch! Please notice that I actually did put some greens on
there too.. lol
I have done great lately with my walking and everything so I deserved a treat.. or actually two treats since we had tacos for dinner too..
Now some time in my corner.. lovely!
Stroll
Since I had to take the car this morning – and since the r
ain was no where to be seen – I got off a couple of stations early and walked the last 2,5k to work. It turned out to be a great idea, might even do it again sometime. Amazing what a bit of sunshine and a stroll can do.
Now I have come back home again after spending the afternoon at the hospital – more allergy shots and other stuff – and the rain isn’t far away. But I am very happy about the great start of this day. More of those, please!
Long day
Rain rain rain.. all day lo
ng. Water isn’t my favorite element right now.
No walk this morning – no walk on the way home. Not perfect, but I guess it will have to work. And tomorrow I need to bring the car in the morning – hospital time in the afternoon again.
But – the good news is that I reached one of my long-term goals this morning. So, rain or no rain – life isn’t so bad.
Me-time
My first me-time day in a while.
Worked my half day and then took a nice walk along the lake close by where my naprapath works. Then went up for my appointment – and since I have been really good at doing my exercises he didn’t have too many knots or tight muscles to work with – just a regular massage – no needles necessary. I have really made improvements this year – set up goals and really tried to reach them, one by one.
And I am on the way! Feel really proud of myself. Now, fingers crossed for good news tomorrow.
Sunday by the sea
What a nice day. Finally some sun – but very windy and cold in the water so we didn’t go in that today (only 14-15C).
But, we have enjoyed a lovely day in our second paradise. Good for the soul and great way to get some new energy for the upcoming work week. Not an extremely busy week, I don’t think, but some musts and have-to’s like always.
Rain rain..
A perfect day to snuggle up in my corner – watching DN Galan Youth on the Sportway direct link. That is so
great that they broadcast live from all sorts of youth events – I could enjoy gymnastics on that channel this summer. And now it is track and field from our amazing olympic stadium in Stockholm. I was going to go in an watch it live, but it is raining today and frankly I enjoy it more from my corner than on that hard bench in the rain for hours. Way back in time I would probably have been there working in the long jump all weekend. I do miss that but not enough to go back to that role again. Not since I am the only one in my own family that enjoys it. Growing up it was different – then we all would go together. And I really enjoy going to events with my parents – puts a smile on my face.
Defrosting
Friday.. a fun week has come to an end. Tim
e to get busy and do something that needed doing a long time ago – defrosting my freezer. Not my most favorite thing to do – but it was filled with ice so in order to be able to fill it with apples and berries I needed to get it sorted. Frozen apples don’t survive being defrosted and then put back into the freezer again. Sigh. But, now I’m done and I have allowed myself to start the “fredagsmys” with a glass of white wine.
Next week might not be as fun as this one.. the insurance company is coming over to inspect the damages.. one of our bathrooms was flooded when we came back from our paradise.. Fingers crossed it isn’t the worst case scenario we are facing.
DN Galan 2014
Memories, memories.. I have worked on so many DN Galan competitions over the years. But since I became a mother I have not been a
ble to keep my referee interest up – so it is extra fun to be able to attend one of these huge events. Especially with my mom and dad – which I did today. They are so well known and appreciated by a lot of great athletes and people in the business – everyone wants to stay and chat for a bit and ask how they are doing. It really feels great to see that all their hard work has resulted in great friendships and a lot of respect. They deserve it so well.
The evening resulted in a new best result this year on 5000 m, but other than that the results were nothing spectacular but ok.
Shot #2
Very short day at work today – new appointment for my youngest’s allergy shots. Time for the second one. Nine more to go. Puh. But, so far so good!
Both my sons have started school now so we are slowly but surely getting back into the fall-routine again. Next week the sport activities starts again too. Fun!
I have passed my walking goal today with good margin. Really proud of myself. I am going to try and keep it up as long as the weather allows me to. Fingers crossed it will be for a while yet!
