Wednesday

It's already Wednesday and almost a week since Olle died. Time has gone so fast and yet so slow. Does that make sense?

There are a lot of things, practical ones, that needs to be done. Like trying to reach everyone that needs to know. That has taken me three days. You can't just call and say hi, my Dad died last week. Some of them are relatives I haven't talked to in a long time and relatives that we often just meet at funerals (or marriages but they are more rare). So each and every call are at first sad but then you get an update on what has happened since last time, so the calls tend to me hourlong ones.

I also went to the morticioners on Monday and arranged everything about the funeral. On Sunday Helen was here and I had prepared what to have at the funeral. Nowadays you can go online and choose everything from coffin to flowers to music and add. So we did just that. We also called Mom so she could choose, over the phone, flowers and message she wants to have at the funeral. Even though we had done all that I sat over 3 1/2 hours at the morticians before we were done.

The funeral will be on May 28 at Skogskyrkogården Hoppets kapell (the chapel of Hope).

I really haven't had any time to mourn but I think it will hit me at the funeral. My calender is full to that date and that's a good thing I think. Tomorrow I'm going to Norrtälje to see my friend Anne.
On Saturday I'm going to the Royal Opera to see the premiere of Queen of Spades by Tjajkovskij. Before that we are having dinner at Operakällaren.
Next week I'm going to Gävle on Tuesday afternoon and on Wednesday I'm going to get treatments there.
Next Thursday I'm going to meet the priest who will be officiant at the funeral.
Next Friday new hairdo and on Saturday next week I'm going on a trip on Göta kanal.

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.

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...

New month and new challenges
