HOT HOT H.E.A.T

It has really been a long time since I wrote last but you know these weeks before the Christmas holidays is just crazy! There are so much to do and it seems never to be enough time. I am and have been preparing for Advent and Christmas celebrations. First with the Rheumatic association and then on Sunday Advent celebration. As you know I have had inflammations in my pelvis and have eaten medicine for that. At one point I also walked with crutches. The last weeks I have been very good and without pain so I stopped taking the medicine and on Tuesday I also returned the crutches. What happens? Of course I get severe pain again :-( Yesterday I was on my feet for 7 hours when we prepared and had the Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic association. That was not good for me! I wasn't able to sleep last night because I couldn't find a position where it didn't hurt. I have now started to take the medicin again and after I told it on Facebook two friends offered crutches...

Yesterday was truly a magic day. I woke up with the worst migraine :-( and thought Oh no, not today. So I went down and tried to drink a cup of tea and eat something. Then I had to take medicine for the migraine and then straight to bed. I woke up 3 hours later and the migraine was beginning to get better. I took it slow and easy and finally about 2PM I felt OK so I went on to shower, put on make-up and made my hair and then I was off.   My sister and Lena's man Mange at the restaurant  I did started pretty early because it was Friday and the traffic is usually crazy on Friday afternoons. It took me 1 hour 15 minutes to go there (if I go when it's not peak hour it usually takes 40 minutes) so pretty good anyway. Me and Lena at the restaurant, some of the youngsters in the background (they had their own table) I had to leave tickets in the entrance - tickets that friends were to get. I have sold one and a friend of mine had sold one because of illness. I was to meet...

Over 20 000 has read what I write. It's fantastic! I'm very happy about it and I will try to write more.  I really admire my sister and nieces in USA that writes every day this month. It's the month, where you are supposed to write something every day, called National Blog Posting Month. I love reading their thoughts, little anecdotes and follow their lives. It's hard when you are so far away but internet is a blessing in that respect. Not much more to say. I have been working Monday until today like almost every week and now I'm off until Monday.  Today was Emil's namesday and we celebrated him during coffee this afternoon. Just a little cake, nothing much. Emil when he and Hasse went for a walk in the sunshine (but cold) On Friday I'm going to H.E.A.T's first own show where they headline and have supporting bands. They had a great weekend in Gothenburg last weekend and this Friday it's Stockholm. They go to Kalmar very early the next m...

I just came home from a conference with my local Rheumatic society. We stayed at a hotel in Nynäshamn, Nynäsgården, which was awful.  You can't see it properly but this was really nasty. Broken and not clean  Mold in the shower  Very old TV and you couldn't see much on it so I'm lucky I had my Ipad with me.  Break in attempt on the door The conference was great and we came to great deciscions but the hotel wasn't. I had been there before so I knew what I was in for but the others didn't. I tried the first room - the bed hard like a brick. I went to the reception and got 3 more keys to 3 different rooms. 2 of them with the same brick matrass the third was OK. The receptionist said she didn't know what rooms had newer beds (which is strange) but admitted that the other beds were from the 80's! I mean over 30 years old beds in a hotel. Imagine the rest.... To top it all I had mold in the bathroom which smelled awful. Lucky I wasn't there t...

No more snow :-) and of course as soon as we switched to winter tires the snow and ice was gone and now we have around + 6-7 C. It's very dark though. When I go to work in the morning at 5.45 AM it's completely dark and the sun doesn't rise until around 7.15AM and down at around 4PM and it's grey. The positive is that we now can light candles inside, snuggle up in the sofa watching TV without feeling guilty that you're not outside :-) Last Saturday we have good friends over for dinner which was very nice. I had made Creme Ninon for starter which is a green pea soup with champagne. Main course was my salmon gratin with a delicious white wine sauce and for dessert a chocolate fudge pie with rasberries and icecream. We served a White Zinfandel, Beringer to drink and that wine is so good. The soup was so good it was over before I had a chance to take a photo ;-) Main dish looks a bit pale but was truly delicious Dessert was yummie! Then on Tuesday I...
