What has happened since I wrote last?

Lasst Thursday I went to Norrtälje to see my friend Anne for lunch and treatment. As usual we had a great time with good food but listen to this, we didn't have the chantarellesoup!? Why you might ask? Well, they had this new dish which was delicious but of course there were chantarelles in the sauce ;-)
 Before we went to lunch she gave me treatment and afterwards as I returned home I was completely relaxed and exhausted. Yes, exhausted. The treatment does that to you which is good. I really needed to reduce stress.

Friday we were supposed to have winetasting with the Rheumatic association but already in the beginning of the week there were cancels so by Thursday we were down to 5 or 6. We then decided to put off until spring and try again. This isn't the best of times for us since the cold and grey weather often makes us rheumatics worse.
Some of the dishes with me and Hasse ready to take some.

On Saturday we were invited to our very good friends Kitte and Janne for a Greek evening. It was so nice and so much to eat and drink. Kitte and Anne had made so many good dishes and it felt like we were back in Rhodes again, except for the weather of course. We started with ouzo, cheeseballs and some other Greek snacks. Then all the main courses. Look at the photo :-) To that we drank Retsina or Greek red wine.
We ended up with Greek yoghurt, walnuts and honey and to that Grappa (which is Italian and is something I don't like)
The girls who made all the good food, Anne and Kitte

Not to mention the company. We always have a great time together with our friends :-)

Did I tell you I bought a new computer? I did and that's why I have had some trouble getting everything in order. You know how it is, don't you? So now I have a HP 1TB and really really good. I hope it will last for a while. The funny thing is that this one was cheaper than my old one who didn't have this capacity at all.
I have also bought a new mobilephone. Not an Iphone4 which everyone have but an Ericsson Xperia. It's also android but with better apps I think. I'm still learning.

Tomorrow I'm off to a chairwomen conference over the weekend. It's held here in Stockholm but we will stay at a hotel for 2 nights. I'm looking forward to meeting old friends. We are within the Stockholm district a bunch of chairwomen. Of course I'm talking about the Rheumatic association.

Tomorrow is also the birthday of one of my nieces who lives in San Diego. Happy Birthday L :-) It's far to seldom I get to meet all my American/Spanish family but next April it's time and I'm really longing to see them all again (and I hope it will be possible).
Also on Saturday one of my best friends also has birthday and I can't congratulate him either since I'm on the conference but Hasse will go instead :-)

Next week will be really hectic because on Sunday, 1 Advent, the guys of H.E.A.T is coming for Adventcoffee, glogg, safronbuns and gingerbread, together with parents and girlfriends. This I'm also looking forward to because we will also welcome Erik G and his parents to our H.E.A.T-family :-)
But I have a lot to do before that - bake all the buns for instance and also decorate, But it's fun doing this.

We will also decorate at work and on Friday afternoon we will have glogg with raisin and almond which is the traditional way of drinking glogg. The next coming weeks will be filled with fun Christmas preparations.

I will tell you more and hopefully have some photos to post here next week.

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...

Today is 1st Advent and though my back is still hurting I could get through our traditional celebrations. 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. At one time all 30 were in place and it was crowded but oh so nice. Lot of chatting, drinking glögg which were everything from 0% alcohol til much more..... Also I had coffee, "snittar...
