Birthday, school and more

This week really started out fast. First I came back from LA on Monday evening. Tired as usual although I was able to sleep for a couple of hours onboard the plane. H met me at the airport and when I came out he said: Didn't you have 2 suitcases with you when you left? Yes, but now I have 3 :-). Same story every time I go. I always end up buying an extra suitcase. Why? Because I buy a lot since it's so cheap.
We headed home and I unpacked which took a couple of hours. Then to bed trying to sleep which I succeded with but I woke up at 3.30 AM and couldn't go back to sleep since I was so hungry (dinner time for me LA time). So I got up and got ready and then off to work at 6AM. By the time I stopped working I was totally exhausted, dizzy, had a head ache and was hungry again. Went home and slept for a couple of hours. Next day the same and on Thursday it was back to school again. By that time I still had jetlag and even felt sick. After school I stayed at the Globe hotel which was lucky. I just went up to the hotel had something to eat and by 8.30 PM I was fast asleep and I slept until 6.15 only being awake a couple of times but able to go back to sleep again. So when I woke up I was "back" again. No dizziness, no sickness in my stomach or nothing. Just as a vail had been lifted.
On Friday E turned 21 so I called him in the morning and sang to him. Lucky him :-). He came home in the evening and I had bought him Hugo Boss XY which he wanted. Today we have had lunch to celebrate him. All boys came home and also my sis H with dog Pinglan. We had a lovely time with food, cake and a beautiful weather.

I just have to tell you about my visit now. At least start. The photo here is from Sea World in San Diego and on the photo is Shamu the killer whale. This show was really spectacular and Shamu is really majestic.
We also saw dolphins, sea lions and I tapped a stingray. Lovely hot day. We stayed over at a hotel in San Diego and in the evening we went to a little charming Mexican restaurant in Old Town. We had so much fun especially afterwords when we had a photo session outside.
The next day we went for a sightseeing first up to Point Loma and a wonderful breath taking view over San Diego. Then downtown where we saw the monument by Midway called Unconditional surrender which is a huge statue of a sailor and a nurse kissing at then end of World War II.
We went back by Pacific Coast highway which is beautiful. Over all that trip to San Diego where the whole family got to meet was so lovely. I had a wonderful time. Thank you J and M for taking me and treating me for the room. Thank you L and J for your hospitality and for showing us your wonderful new house. I really liked it a lot!
I will continue telling you episodes from my visit with the family but right now I need to have something to eat. Everyone has left and it's peace and quiet.
By the way H.E.A.T has new great reviews. Check out their website to read more www.heatsweden.com (most of them in English actually).
My happy time in San Diego was that we all were together.
My happy moment today was when all my boys were here.

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 ...
