Last day of July



Yes, it's the last day of July and it's high summer. Yesterday we had quite a lot of rain and it was the first time it rained here at home since I can't remember. It was really needed. The grass haven't been green in a long time. It's yellow because it's so dry. The leaves of the trees especially the birches are getting all yellow because of the drought and this is not usual in Sweden.

I started working again on Monday after 3 weeks holiday. It was hard getting up at 4.45AM again but I managed. So I worked Monday-Tuesday. Today I'm off work because I will be working tomorrow. It's August 1 and I have to do invoicing.


Today I'm off to the hairdresser. My hair tends to grow more in the summer. Maybe it's the same for you? After that I have to go to the bank to pay my Mom's last bills. It's kind of hard because here in Sweden most banks don't have money (!!) So you have to find that special bank that is like a bank is supposed to be! Aren't bank supposed to handle money?

Anyway that's my plans for today. What's yours?

On Saturday we are going to Gävle to celebrate Hasse's oldest son and his fiancée who both turns 50 so we are invited to a 100-year party :-)
Their actual birthdays aren't until December but it's easier to invite when it's summer and you can be outside.
The same day it's a rock festival here in Väsby where bands like H.E.A.T, Dynazty and many many more perform. I would have love to be here for that but obviously can't.
There are a lot of friends from England and other countries coming for this event and I'm so sorry I won't be able to meet them :-(

I don't write often about it but I read a lot!! This summer, since June, I think I have read 10 or more books. I have a habit to read whenever or where ever I am. I can't go to sleep without reading. I read when I cook, when I eat, when I'm in the bathroom. And I have been doing this since I was a child.
Have a great day everyone!

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...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.
