Time?!

My sister wrote on her blog that : We all have or should have a few minutes to spare for keeping in touch, even to just say...nothing much was going on today... 

That is so wise. Time is free and we can give it without spending a lot. Giving time is love nowadays I think.
I have heard horrible stories here in Sweden.When a loved one passes away people don't have time even to bury them with dignity. They look in their big thick calenders and tries to squeeze in 15 minutes.
 Undertakers have reported about families sitting with their calenders and finally being able to take not a day, not half a day but maybe 1 hour and after the funeral back to work.
Is this the society we want to have? Is this how you want it to be when it's time for you to go?
I can honestly say that this is NOT what I want. At least out of respect for loved ones you can at least devote 1 day for funeral, remembering with friends and family and dinner with the closest ones. When I go I want everyone to have a party. To eat good, drink good, sing,speaking about me with happiness and cheering me.
And that takes more than 15 minutes!! Remember that!

From one thing to another. We had a snowstorm yesterday. Chaos of course in traffic but I managed to get home in one piece. It came around 3 dm and that is much. Today a lot of it melted so wet snow and now tonight it's freezing making it icy. The worst weather I know!! Tomorrow I'm going to Norrtälje so I hope they will have cleaned the roads.

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...
