Rheumatic meeting for new members

Yesterday we had a meeting for new members with the Rheumatic association but there weren't that many that came and noone really new :-( This is kind of sad. You try to arrange nice social meetings so we can get together and talk thus strenghtening us. We who came had a lovely time chatting, eating sandwiches and drinking coffee. I also had a brief information about our association and activities planned during the springseason.


Next in line is a lecture from our local morticians. It's sounds worse than it is. Everyone of us will sometime in life experience the loss of someone loved and closed ot us. Are we then ready to deal with everything around the funeral? Do we know what to do? Had the departed told his or hers last wishes? Can I myself write down how I want my funeral to be? Insurances? And many many more questions will be answered. I think it will be very interesting.

I have not yet got a job and it sucks!!! I have applied for numerous but haven't heard from them. I'm loosing my faith in me soon. And to top it all I have just received my first payment from the unemploymnet benefit fund. 3000 SEK less in my wallet after taxes. That's a huge difference!! Is this what I have been paying for for 43 years?
So I don't know. I had big plans for this year. I wanted to go to LA and see Jo and my nieces. I wanted to go to Barcelona to see Jonas perform at Salamandra and I wanted to celebrate Hasse's and my silver anniversary.
But with 3000 SEK less a month that is impossible.
So if anyone out there know of a halftime job that pays great money and where I can make a difference and where they want an efficient, overweight, with a rheumatic diagnos that makes only able to work 50% but when I do I'm keeping healthy, not a sickday for over 2 years, happy, skilled in writing and economics and able to do almost anything from baking to educating. Please give me a shout and I will be there.

I do look for and apply for job almost every day. I don't sit around but I activate myself as you who read my blog knows.

Did I tell you that H.E.A.T is going on a European tour starting April 23? They are!

Have a good evening. Tomorrow one of my closest friend Inger and our two "adopted grandchildren" comes home from Australia.
Sleep well, sweet dreams and talk to you soon.

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

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.

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
