Lillejul

I'm just home from Lillejul, the last one, or is it? I have tried to put on a video here for you to see a little bit of the spectacular fireworks we had tonight. They have been competing in the World Championship for fireworks and they have had this tradition that every year they come and do this on our Christmas party in thanks of them lending our training field.

We had a wonderful time starting with "Xmas-gifts" which delivers to those who has stood out during the year. Always funny and lots of laughs. After that it was the fireworks and then we all headed up to the restaurant for more amusement and dinner. We had a lovely fillet with roasted garlic potatoes and wine sauce. Excellent! Then coffee. During dinner of course a lot of singing as always which is nice and also a short speach from our head of school. We also had this HUGE Christmas tree. I think it was over 4 meters high and wonderfully decorated.

It was both happy and sad to be here today. Happy because it's promised that we will have a summer party. 2 of my collegues are taking over the restaurant and will keep in touch. So we can still come for lunch in the future.

Sad because many of us won't see each other again. We have worked together for many years several of us and then suddenly it's over. It's like a divorce or a death. You must allow yourself to grieve if you feel you have to.

Tomorrow is another day and I have to get up and work. Last woman standing or something like that :-) As always sleep well and sweet dreams. Enjoy the fireworks.

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...

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here.  On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...
