HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Yes, I'm at it and have been since last weekend, but today it was time to iron the Christmas curtains and put them up. Also all the Christmas cloths were ironed and placed. We also have this little Advent tree (like a little Christmas tree but without all the decorations) with just lights. We also have a little "Christmas town" welcoming people in the hall. It changes colors all the time and it's very decorative. Yesterday I took a break from all the preparations and went to the Rheumatic association where I also am planning a Christmas celebration with dinner for around 40 active chairpeople. I met with my friend in the "party committé" and we went to order everything for next Thursday.  Then I had a budget meeting before heading off to the Royal Opera where I saw Puccini's Turandot. A totally magic evening and the beautiful Nessun Dorma sang extremely well and it gave me chills all over.  Even the Opera house was Christmas decorated. In the...

Today is 1st Advent and though my back is still hurting I could get through our traditional celebrations. 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.

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...
