Birthday and more.....

My Mom turned 87 last Saturday and on Sunday Helen, me and Danniel went to celebrate her. We had planned to take her out for lunch but on Saturday they called from the home where she lived and said she was still not well after her pneumonia. She had been in bed all week and couldn't even walk. So we changed our plans and brought cakes and presents to her in her room while having coffee. Very nice and she seemed better which was comforting.

This week has been full of work. I need to to everything ready before my holiday. Also this week actually yesterday Hasse turned 70. I can't believe that! He still looks so young and fit despite his illness.
Tomorrow Saturday we have Open House to celebrate him and we except around 46 friends and relatives to turn up. It will certainly be crowded but as we say in Sweden: If there are heartroom (love) there are butroom (room to sit down) :-)
So today I'm cooking gulasch soup, baking bread, making cakes and more...... Should be a lot of fun having everyone here again (although lot of work).
Then Sunday, hopefully, I will have time to plan what to pack for the trip.
Did I mention I'm going to Los Angeles to visit my sister. That will be so nice. I haven't seen her in 3 years :-( It's a long journey and cost a bit so you don't go every year. I will stay almost three weeks and I'm so looking forward to that. Also my nieces will come and my nieces son (what is that to me?)

Most of the times I've been over I have been there for Easter and so is the case this year too. So I will go to Jo's school for Easter egg hunt which I remember was very funny. I will write and tell you when I'm in place.
I start from Arlanda at 7 AM Wednesday morning and will be in LA the same day at 3PM after travelling 17 hours! So the first day I'm always a bit tired but I will try to stay up because the sooner you get in the right timezone. (It's 9 hours time difference).


So now you know what I'm doing this weekend. I hope you all have a good one :-)

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...
