Busy weekend

The best band ever! (According to me)

Weekend again and you would think you could rest and relax but no. Yesterday 2 of our grandchildren came, L1 and L2. They drove down themselves, yes they are grown L1 is 20 and L2 is 18. They came to visit E, our son, and have a night in Stockholm. So yesterday they slept at E's place and came here today at noon. E and the girls, they are both girls, took the commute train to Stockholm and was going to a club when L1 suddenly discovered she had forgotten her ID at E's place so they couldn't get in anywhere so very dissapointed they returned home but had fun anyway.
As I wrote last time O is in hospital and he's still there. But it doesn't end there. Mom has complained over her arm that has been hurting a lot so on Thursday they did an X-ray to see if anything was broken but they couldn't see anything. Yesterday they called from the short time home and said Mom was sent to hospital in ambulance because they suspected she could have an infection since she had gained fever or worse blood poisoning. Later I called the hospital who told me she had been admitted and was now treated with antibiotics directly into the blood. When I called them today they said she's very confused and wants to take out the needles. So now they are both in the same hospital but not in the same ward.

J came for dinner and to see L1 and L2 tonight. It was very nice and I had made pork fillet in a creamy sauce with leek and bacon. To go with it I had fresh potatoes, a yummie salad and cauliflowermash. For desert I had made a chocolatecake with both white and dark chocolate. It was so good.
After that we played TP, the new one with DVD-record and only about music, film, TV, celebritites and sports. Very funny but hard questions.

Big things happens with the band H.E.A.T. They have more gigs planned and J is going to L.A. next Saturday to mix the album. It's his first visit ever in USA and he's very excited. Not to travel that far but to see it and to finalize the album. He will be staying for a week.
If you're interested you can now on their homepage see the gigs that is booked now - www.heatsweden.com. They are to play on Debaser, in Umeå, at Åland, in Karlstad as well as Sweden Rock Festival. I attach a wonderful photo of the band. Don't you just love the feeling!

We have also had several invitation to parties this week. Both to H's former job, a reunion, which we are very happy to go to. Also one of the H.E.A.T parents celebrates her 50th birthday and we are invited. Lots of friends and families are having birthdays these coming months so there's a lot to look forward to.

I hope now that Mom and O will get better soon. It's really on your mind all the time, thinking of them and I'm feeling so sorry for Mom. She doesn't understand what's happening to her.

So both sad and happy things happens just like life itself. Isn't life wonderful after all. And aren't you glad you're alive just now in this moment? I know I am.
As some wise man said: Carpe Diem - Catch the day. You don't know for how long you're here.

Now I really have to go to bed but I just read an article about jetlag. In order to avoid it you should, if you were going to the American West Coast, stay up a bit later every evening a couple of weeks before leaving so you adjust your body to the time there. I don't know about that because you still have to function here as well. Maybe I will try it in April :-).

It isn't easy to tell my story and how I found out about my father and how I finally found my sister and got to know her. Now she and her whole family has a big part of my heart. I am so happy to have had the chance to know them and I love them. I wanted to tell my story to maybe comfort someone who's in the same situation as I was, not knowing what to do and who to turn to. Can I help just one person with my story it has been worth it. I will continue my story tomorrow.
Good night and sweet dreams :-)

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
