Grey Wednesday

Today has been a grey rather dull day. When I got up at 5.15 AM I saw it was raining. After breakfast which my wonderful husband H does for me every day, I drove to work. It was still raining heavily but now with some snow in it. As I drove along the rain shifted over more and more to snow and by the time I was at work it was pure snow - and a lot of it. I wasn't prepared for that at all and had just ordinary shoes. It continued snowing almost until I stopped work at 11 AM when it just rained. It continued raining almost all day and the sun didn't shine at all, just cloudy and grey.

My happy moment today was, I think, when I went to our company nurse for a shot of B12. Not that I got the shot, but that I know it makes me feel so much better.

I'm still very tired but I think that it because I have this infection in one tooth. Didn't I write about that before? Anyway I suddenly had a swelling above one of my teeth and as the days went by it started to hurt very bad. The other teeth around this one also hurt bad. So I called my sis H, she's a dentist, and she prescribed this antibiotics and I think it's those two in combination, medicine and infection, that makes me feel more exhausted than usual. Every evening when I watch TV I found myself half asleep and then I realize I have to go to bed. I'm an evening person but now I'm in bed by 9.30 PM! That is early to me.

I promised to tell you about how I found my Father. After my Mom had told me, I searched for years every possibility I knew with no luck. Finally I called our National telephone company and asked if there was such a person in Barcelona. There were two and the one I called was my Father. He was very happy to hear from me and he came to see me just a couple of weeks after that phone call. It was kind of strange but exciting to meet him. He also wanted to meet my son D, my Mom and O and we had a lovely dinner that evening. He later came back two more times during which he showed me photos of my sisters. One he said lived in USA, was married with two children. He also said and showed me a photo of my other sister but didn't tell me much about her more than that she lived in Spain. Unfortunately he never said my sister's name nor where they lived exactly and USA is big.
Although we didn't meet that many times I was still very happy to have the chance to know him. He was a warm and generous person always happy, at least when I met him. He loved music, something I do too and as you have read earlier so does my son J. He also loved travels which I do too and I have actually been working as a traveleader. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet him and see where I came from. There is always questions when you grow up who you look like, where did I get that from and so on. A funny thing is that my son J has such a beautiful almost aristocratic and it's a bit different from us nose from all of us and yesterday I found a photo of my Father when he was young and suddenly I saw that J has exactly the same nose! I showed H the photo and he laughed and said that is exactly the same.
Later in life when I got ill everyone asked about family history regarding illnesses but I couldn't know then. We didn't meet in person many times but we wrote often to each other, sometimes I just got postcards but also letters. Suddenly the postcards and letters stopped coming and I had no idea what had happened.
After a couple of years I got a computer and was on the internet when I saw people looking for other people on messageboards. I thought this might be a way of finding my sisters. So I placed an add on ICQ asking for siblings. I went in there almost every day for a while to check if someone had answered but nothing. Days became weeks that became years and I had really forgotten all about it when one night I went on the internet. I had just returned from our summerhouse in Gotland and was checking the mail and there it was! The mail said: Are you the MT looking for siblings after RP?
I immediately answered and said Yes! The reply came instantly - Then I'm your sister.

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in!   The suite taken from the "living-room area"  From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove   Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.  

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
