Happy, happy

Today was a happy day! Why?
Because I went to see my coach and I really had this aha-moment which was great.

Also yesterday I was thinking that I needed an education to be able to handle my work better. So I had done my research and had everything ready to present for my consultant.
I first told my coach about the idea and she thought it was excellent and came with me when I presented it. My consultant immediately said yes and I was so happy. I think my coach was as happy :-)

So what is this course I need you might ask. I will tell you then. It's a course to really know the economic computerprogram I'm workin in which is Visma SPCS and this particular program is Visma administration 500. I have never had proper training and is slowly learning myself but it's better to really learn and also get some tips and shortcuts. The Trygghetsstiftelse is paying for this and also travel and hotel which is great. Yes, of course the courses in Stockholm was full so I have to go outside and the place I end up is Falun. So watch out all you Falu-people here I come.

Actually I know one person in Falun and that is the man who book H.E.A.T's gig. We have met at several occasions mostly rockconcerts but also on aeroplanes and Eurovision.

Tomorrow I'm working again and in the afternoon I have nothing planned!!?? Yeah, I know it's kind of strange but I might take the opportunity to relax some but only maybe :-)

On Friday Hasse is going to his old hometown Ludvika which is in Dalarna. He has been invited to celebrate the Fire departments 100-year jubilee. That is nice I think. I myself is on chairman-conference Friday and Saturday so I won't be able to go with him sadly enough.
The invite to the public to go and see the firestation

See you tomorrow. Keep on dreaming!

Lunch with friends and my own room

Today I got my own office at work :-) So now Richard and I won't be sitting in each others lap anymore, so to speak.Not my new office :-) but maybe the future office?

After work I went to Farbror in Väsby center to have lunch with two former workmates.
I had never been to Farbror, which is a restaurant, but it was nice and they had good food.
We ate and chatted about other workmates and if they have new jobs or not. One of them hadn't but the other one had. We also knew about several that has new jobs but also quite a few that haven't been able to get a new one. It was nice to see them again and we decided we would try to go and have lunch together once a month.

Tomorrow I'm going to see my coach again and I have now realized I need some more education! I hope TSN can pay for that. Since I'm only practising at my work I need more training in the economic program I work in. I have worked in it for some time but don't have proper training and there is a lot you miss if you don't get it. And if I should loose my job, God forbid, I need to have this in order to get another job.

Hasse is going to see his doctor tomorrow and I certainly hope he will get some help this time. I have told him that if he doesn't get proper treatment nor help he needs to get a second opinion. He can't go on coughing like this. It has been over 2 years now.

See you tomorrow :-)

Jewellery "loppis"

Great Monday. Back to work and my boss was back after a week of vacation, or rather sick vacation. He suspects he has had the swineflu. He was to see his doctor, I think today, so maybe we will know tomorrow. I'm so happy he has been home so I doesn't catch it and bring it home.

I told you yesterday that Danniel did come because he was feeling sick. When I talked to him today he said he had fever but it had gone down now and I hope he's on his way to get well.

After work I went to the Rheumatic assocation and we had jewelleryloppis. Each of us bring jewellery that we are tired of, never wear, maybe not suit anymore and display them. Then we set a very cheap price like 20-50 SEK for each item. As you understand it's not diamonds and gold we are dealing with but day-to-day wear and much in silver. This way everyone can afford to buy because you almost certainly sell and you get new nice things. A little bit like second hand but with jewelleries instead of clothes.




For lunch I had sushi. I love sushi which I didn't think I would the first time I tried. In our mall we have an excellent sushi restaurant so today I bought and took it home to eat. Hasse doesn't like it so he had sausages instead.

Tomorrow I'm going to have lunch with my former workmates in Väsby centrum. That should be fun too. I haven't seen them for a while now so it's about time.

Isn't the dog on the photo the cutest? Talk to you tomorrow :-) Sweet dreams

Father's Day

Today it's Father's Day here in Sweden and of course I have celebrated Hasse (although he's not my Dad but the boys aren't here in the morning). I got him 2 gift certificate, one to Clas Ohlsson and one to Dressman. That way he can choose himself what he wants to have :-)

Jonas is soon coming over for dinner. Danniel called last night and had a bad cold or flu, don't know which one but his coughing didn't sound good. I hope he gets well soon. Emil, we don't know, he was here yesterday and said he didn't felt well either so we have to see if he comes.

I'm anyway making tacos for dinner. It has been a long while since we ate that so I think we all will enjoy it. I make everything myself which makes it taste best (in my opinion).

After that I will prepare for tomorrow. Workday and straight after work I'm going to a "smyckesloppis" (jewellery second hand) at the Rheumatic assocation. That should be a lot of fun. I get rid of things I'm tired off and I can get new ones very cheap.

Tell you more tomorrow. Hugs :-)

Missing wallet and pizza

Saturday and the day started with breakfast, some work and then Melodikrysset.
Melodikrysset we do every Saturday between 10-11 AM. It's a music crossword on the radio and we love to solve it while having some coffee. We have been doing this for at least the last 5 years I think and we always send in the right answer but have we ever won? NO, never. Not even that time that we played "live" in Gotland.

In the afternoon I had a talk with Jonas who was a bit irritated because he couldn't find his wallet. The last time he saw it was on Thursday. He had called the store where he last used it but they haven't found any. Also his computer was behaving badly and all the music for the new album was on it. So as the mother I am I went to the rescue :-)
I had an extra backupharddrive of 220GB which I took with me and said he had to transfer all the songs to that one. So if his computer shuts down or crashes or have a virus he still will have all the songs left. Once there I asked him again about the wallet and asked him to think back and to visualize it. He also went on his bank to see that noone had taken out any money.
Then I asked if they had searched everywhere and he said they had. I said did you search behind the cushions of the sofa and he and Mandy looked. Then I went and just lifted the first cushion, took out the wallet (that was hidden behind it) and asked if it was that one.
Yes, he said and he was so happy to have found it and so were we all of course.
Then Hasse called and said: Can't you buy some pizza and ask if Jonas and Mandy wants to come home and eat. They wanted that so we bought pizza, went home and started eating when suddenly a ring at the door and Emil came too. He had already eaten but kept us company.
So nice to have them here!

They will come tomorrow as well, for dinner, since it's Father's Day but now tonight Danniel called and had a bad cold or flu (can it be swineflu?) so he's not coming which we are very greatful for since we both, as you know, belongs to the risk groups.

Now it's time to go to bed and I certainly hope I will have a better sleep than I have had for the last nights.

Hugs and good night to you all my friends and family :-)

TGIF and fredagsmys, The lost symbol

This morning I woke up with the most horrible headache. It was a very long time since I had a migraine-attack but this was it. When I went up I couldn't open my eyes because it hurt when I did. My neck pulsated with pain every step I took.
But I went down anyway, took a shower, still with my eyes shut, did my makeup and now I had to open my eyes which really hurt. Then breakfast as usual: one egg, one cup of Roiboos tea, 1 slice dark bread with my homemade butter and a slice of cheese. And of course all my medicins but today I also took medicine for my migraine.
Then I was off to work. It wasn't gone then but around 9.30 I did feel better and I was able to work more efficient. I had worked all the time, don't take me wrong, but then it was harder.
It kind of disables you when you have these attacks.

Now I'm fine and I think I need to take it easy this weekend but all of you who knows me also know how hard it is for me to do nothing.

Speaking of something totally different. I have read Dan Browns new book this week, The lost symbol and I must say it was really thrilling. I couldn't almost lay it down, I just had to see what happened next. I have read all the previous ones, including Da Vinci code which I read when I visited my sister Jo for the first time, and I have found them all very excited but this one was certainly the most thrilling of them all, in my opinion. So if you want to have something good to read during this dark, grey month of November I can strongly recommend it.

For dinner tonight I did a new dish with salmon which was delicious. I just fried the salmon, then poured on cream, white wine, lemon, dill some salt and pepper and let the salmon boil slowly in the sauce. I served potatoe mashed with just some butter to go with it and some fresh tomatoes. This I will do again. Both Hasse and me loved it.

Have a wonderful Friday evening or day wherever you are.
Hugs :-)

Just an ordinary Thursday

This Thursday started out with lots of snowing in the morning which gradually swifted to rain.
I have just been out with Hilma for her latenightwalk and it was really pouring down.

Otherwise kind of calm day. I went to the Rheumatic assocation where we packed the last dispatch for 2009. In this we included the program for the rest of the year and the start of 2010. Also invitation to the Christmas-party on December 12 and, very early, the invitation to come with us to Jurmala Spa in Latvia in May/June. We are inviting this early to give our members a chance to save up for the trip since it cost a bit of money. But on the other hand we get a lot for that money including 2 treatments a day.

As usual I sat down to watch "A place in the sun" at 5.50PM and as usual I fell asleep and woke up at 7 :-) Now I'm still tired so it shouldn't be a problem sleeping (I hope).

Tomorrow it's Friday and time for "fredagsmys" and Idol. Looking forward to that. Have a good nights sleep for you here and for you in USA have a good day.

Hugs :-)
