Visiting Mom and IKEA

Today I started out real early at 9AM to go down to Alby and visit my Mom. Since there are roadworks on almost every road out south from Stockholm I figured that if I went early on a Saturday it would be smother and it actually was :-)
So I arrived to my Mom's elderly home by 9.30 and the staff told me she was on the run?! To Hawaii :-) OK she was at the hairdresser getting a long overdue haircut. So I went down and when she saw me her face lit up and she said with a big smile: Oh, it's you. That is much coming from her. I don't know if I had said it before but she has Alzheimers and had a stroke when I was in LA so it's not all the times she recognize me nor that she can talk. So after she had her haircut I went for a walk with her, she's in a wheelchair, almost down to the lake. It was a very nice day, warm and sunny although we had some rain in the early hours of the morning.
Here's a photo of her. Isn't she beautiful? She even smiles on the photo :-)
Then we went back to her room and had coffee which her contactperson so kindly came with. Mom drank a whole glass of juice, a cup of coffee and even had a cake :-) After a couple of hours it was time for me to go and she was so sad and almost cried but I said I will come back. She kissed me several times and then she waved as I went.
Then off to Danniel to have lunch with him. Today we ate in his apartment and I had bought burgers for him and chicken nuggets for me. Good lunch and it's always nice chatting with him :-)
Then back home again around 2.30 PM when Hasse suddenly said: Can't we go to IKEA and I of course said yes. So off we went. We thought there wouldn't be that many there since the weather was so nice but we were wrong!! There were so many there. I don't know why they can't go swimming instead ;-)
We didn't buy a lot of things but some small things we needed (and some extras as always when on IKEA)

So now we are back home again. I'm all exhausted, just had dinner - Taco pie - and I'm ready to sit down and watch some TV.

I hope you all had a great Saturday. Talk to you soon!

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.

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...
