Short weeks, grandparents, radio

I wonder if the week just consist of Monday and Friday? Because it's Monday then you blink and it's Friday. Has time always gone this fast I wonder? Did our grandparents also think that time goes by so fast? I wonder.

They didn't have any computers, mobilephones, internet, TV. Maybe they had a radio. What did they do with all that time that we spend in front of our TV:s and computers? I can't help but wonder.

What would my grandfather say if he suddenly would come here now? He was the most noble man and I really loved him. He used to read a lot both in Swedish and other languages. He always said that a woman should have education and not be depending or supported by a man. So he always encouraged me to study hard so that I would have that independence. He was really a man before his time and even though born in 1880 he was that imancipated. My Mom got to study graduate from college and university which wasn't very common in the 40's (for women).
Today it's our friend Christer's birthday but we are going to celebrate him tomorrow and it will be nice to see them again. It has been a while since they also have a lot to do all the time. Then on Sunday I will go and see Mom. I didn't last weekend since I was at the conference.

And on Monday my English friend Jean celebrates her birthday so I will send her something she can enjoy watching. We have actually mailed each other for at least 7 years and I think more. We have never met which is a shame but she lives outside Birmingham and I never seem to go that direction. It would be so nice to meet her live so to speak - but maybe one day.

Daily update about H.E.A.T's recording: They have started recording. The drums are first and that's what is happening now. They will not come home this weekend but stay up there working with the songs.

See you tomorrow :-)

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...
