Sad day

Today was a sad day for me. It was my last day at work because as from January 1 my work no longer excists.
It's hard to grasp although I've known it for a long time but it's so final when you have emptied your room and lock it for the last time. Nothing left that reminds of me just a computer a desk and a chair and some empty shelves.

To think that I have been working here for 28 years! That's almost a lifetime. I have enjoyed it immensly and I have always been able to grow and to develop in my work. That's probably why I've stayed so long. I liked working at SRSA College Rosersberg and being a part of educating firefighters and sweepers. Now they are supposed to go to Revinge in Scania or Sando in Northland. Neither of them really suits the vast majority of firefighters to be since they live in this region. Well, we must be honest - In the region of Stockholm, Malardalen, Ostergotland and Vastergotland lives 3 million people and here we will now have no college to train firefighters. The ones that don't want to go to Sando or Revinge is to be educated on distance studies via computer. OK, I only say Good Luck to you who gets one of those trained when a fire starts or when a car crashes.
This is something most people don't know because our media hasn't brought this to peoples attention.


Enough wining now. I don't have a work, yet, but I have a lot to look forward to. Like tomorrow when our good friends, I and K and "grandchildren" are coming over to celebrate New Year with us.
Then on Friday our very good friends J and K are coming over for Christmas dinner (yes, yet another one).

Next week I'm off to London to see H.E.A.T perform. Then back home for a couple of days and then off again to New York. Back home from that I go to Gothenburg for an intense week of education.

And then up to Skelleftea for Melodifestivalen.
So you see I have plenty to do right now.

But now I will go to bed so I have the strength to be up until the new year dawns.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you out there. May all your dreams come true in 2009.

  1. Mia, I'm sorry about your work. After all those years, I can imagine that you feel very sad. Enjoy spending time with your friends and your trips to London and New York!

    Love you!

  2. Gott Nytt År själva! Jag är ganska nöjd med 2008 måste jag säga :) Upplevs så himla mycket. Nu sitter jag och hoppas på att det inte ska blåsa för mycket när vi är på båten. Ska strax iväg och åka skridskor. Kram

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...
