Namesday




Aren't the scarves
the same?











Today is the second day of this new year 2010 and it's actually my namesday, Svea.
I was named after my maternal grandmother who I never met since she died when my Mom was only 7 years old. My grandmother had a heartcondition which in those days couldn't be operated so at only 32 years she died. If it had been today she would have lived a full and long life.
Anyway when I was little I was so ashamed of that name because it wasn't "in" or "hip" so I never told anyone my full name. It was bad enough to be christened Marie-Christine. I mean noone ever could remember that name. I was called Ann-Kristin, Marie-Louise, Loppan, Kristina and lots more. So eventually I started calling myself Mia and so did all my friends. When it was possible I took the name Mia officially so today my complete name is Mia Svea Marie-Christine. Something I'm very proud of today. It's not many people that has these names. And I'm proud that I was given my grandmother's name. That's why I celebrate my names, they mean something.

Another thing that was rather funny was today when I read my sister Jo's Facebook there was a photo of her from SLC and,she was stunning on the photo, she was wearing a scarf, a red scarf and I looked once and I looked twice because I have exactly the same :-) (at least judging from the photo) but I wear mine differently. You'll be the judges, the photos here on top. The only thing is that mine looks darker but it could be because I'm in the shadow.

Have a good day. Tomorrow Jonas, Mandy and Sofie are coming over for "linner" (lunch/dinner)
Looking forward to that.
Remember that today is the first day of the rest of your life!

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...

That is we invite the H.E.A.T family including the guys, girlfriends, parents, siblings and other friends ;-) This year they could actually be here almost all of them. Last year, if you remember, they were recording their record and couldn't attend. Some of the guys from H.E.AT with girlfriends Then only one and his family that couldn't come today was Erik G and his family but that is because he turns 25 tomorrow and they were having a family celebration for him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance Erik Me, Hasse, Dave, Annie, Bernt and Brita  The first guests arrived at 1PM and the last ones left at 4.15PM but it was never crowded because people came and left at different times.
