Christmas is over

 My Mom, Hasse and Emil
.



We had a really good Christmas Eve with my family. Very traditional in a Swedish way.
Everyone came at 1PM and then we ate Christmas lunch/dinner. Everything that is good we had on our table.
Ham of course, different kind of herring, egghalves with shrimp"röra", omelett with mushromstew, löjrom, Christmas-sausage, potatoes, beetsallat, meatballs, chipolata sausage, ham-temptation, bread and different kind of cheeses. After that you are totally full I can tell you.
So shortly after it's the longest tradition in Swedish Televison - Donald Duck says Merry Christmas. This program is 1 hour long and during that there are candys - homemade fudge, chocolate, fruit and more.
While everyone is watching TV I prepare coffee with homemade safronbuns, homemade cookies of different kind and a soft gingerbreadcake that Danniel makes every year.
So after Donald Duck is finished Santa comes (in the shape of me) and we get our gifts.
Around 5 or 6 PM we are done with the gifts and it's time for coffee. All the time we sing and chat away of course.
When the coffee is drunk usually it's time for my Mom to go home because she has to order transport very early in the month to be able to get home. Danniel goes with her which is good since she can get very anxoius otherwise.
I have the last years finished Christmas Eve by going to midnight mass with my friend Inger, but this year I was so so tired that I simply couldn't which is a shame because it's a very good way of ending Christmas Eve.

Yesterday, Boxing Day, we had dinner with Jonas, Mandy and Sofie (she's Mandy's Mom).
You can see on the photos what we had to eat except the starter which I forgot to take a photo of. But it was whitefish roe-toast. Main course was baconrolled fillet of pork with a mushromwinesauce (made by me for over 3 hours!!!), potatogratin and greensalat. For dessert chocolatefondant with raspberries and whipped cream.




I hope you will have a really happy ending of 2010 and a Happy New 2011 :-)

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...
