Christmas holiday is ON!

THE COOK BOOK OF THE YEAR!
This week was my last at work for a couple of weeks. I have, as I mentioned before, not being very well and I can't say I'm much better but I am up and I have been working this week. 
Lots to do the last days of the year :-)

I did miss the yearly Christmas party which consist of us all going away cooking our 3-course dinner and then voting on the best dish. We had that yesterday. I worked all day and then we had a gathering with champagne (not for me though since I drove home) and snacks. We also each year have a lottery on things I get as a bonus when I buy our office materials. So this year we had 14 different things from a digital camera to bags, different games, lamps and more. I won two prices - two weekendbags and a "örtvagga" a wooden thing where you shop your herbs.
All of us who made the recipes, my wonderful co-workers

Furthermore I won this year's cooking competition - for the 3 time in a row :-) I'm so happy about that. Cooking and baking is a big hobby with me, as you who know me know all about ;-)
This year the price was amazing - a dream weekend for 2 with overnight stay at a hotel (40 to choose from) with breakfast buffet and also included an event which might be spa-treatments or dinner. It differs from hotel to hotel. I love it! The reason the price was this exceptional this year is because I also did the cookbook (together with the runner up).

 I really have the greatest co-workers! I couldn't have asked for better. And here's another thing I will tell you which show that. Since I couldn't be with them in the evening they took photos all evening and posted on Facebook which meant I could follow everything that was happening :-) They even toasted me at one time. How about that?



An example of recipes (both mine of some strange coincidence ;-))
I also today got a big surprise when the door ranged and when I opened there was a flower delivery! It was my Opera-friend who sent me this wonderful boquet thanking me for this Opera-year. Have I wonderful friends or have I? I can tell you they are the best and I'm so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. That really makes me feel rich.
The wonderful flowers


On Saturday my sister and her family is coming here to celebrate "small Christmas" since they are going to Dubain Christmas morning. Then on Monday, of course, it's Christmas for real with the family and the next day we're going to Gävle to celebrate with children and grandchildren :-)

 Take care everyone and have a really H.E.A.T Christmas :-)

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...

That is we invite the H.E.A.T family including the guys, girlfriends, parents, siblings and other friends ;-) This year they could actually be here almost all of them. Last year, if you remember, they were recording their record and couldn't attend. Some of the guys from H.E.AT with girlfriends Then only one and his family that couldn't come today was Erik G and his family but that is because he turns 25 tomorrow and they were having a family celebration for him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance Erik Me, Hasse, Dave, Annie, Bernt and Brita  The first guests arrived at 1PM and the last ones left at 4.15PM but it was never crowded because people came and left at different times.
