HOT HOT H.E.A.T

I'm really too tired to write anything today. Just wanted to let you know. It's been a long hard day so I deserve a good nights sleep.

I went to a Christmas fair today at Steninge castle together with 9 other from the Rheumatic association. It was very nice and we started by having an excellent lunch. Then we went off to the fair. There were so many things, wonderful, handcrafted both food, candy, toys, handmade jewelry each one unique, knitwear and much much more. I ended up shopping too much of course but I did manage to buy some Christmas gifts. Of course when I came home I realized that one bag was missing so I called the fair and can you believe it, someone had turned it in so it was there. I'm so happy and it restored my faith in man. So now I have to get the bag before the boardmeeting tomorrow. I just heard a plane had crashed in San Diego in a residential area and I was so worried and I had to write L at once to make sure she is OK. They didn't say exactly where the plane had crashed that's why I wanted to make sure it wasn't where L lives. I hope not. Now it's long overdue my bedtime so I...

I did manage to bake cakes for the Christmas party. I went up early and did that before taking a shower do the "Melodikrysset" which H and I do every Saturday. After that H took me to the S:t Larsgarden where the party was held. I was there early to decorate and set the tables together with some others. It all went well and fast and soon all the people were coming. We were 70 in all and that's very good. The food was excellent and just enough not too much and not too little. We had a singer entertaining through it all. He turned out to be a rocker and knew of H.E.A.T and he himselp played in a band and had been playing in different bands in Vasby. He was very good. We also had a lottery and I won, yeah! A wonderful pewter candlestick with a candle and a crochet cloth to put it on. This on the left is the candlestick I won. We also had Lucia come and sing with her attendants. That was lovely. They came from a music class at a school in Sollentuna. After all that we sang a ...

It's late and I forgot that I had promised to bake cakes for tomorrows Christmas party with the Rheumatic association. Oh well I guess I have to go up very early tomorrow morning and do that. As I said we are going to have Christmas party and that will be fun. Good food hopefully, entertainment, Lucia and lottery. H is coming too so that will be nice. It's 11.30 PM now and I have been up since 5 AM so I'm kind of tired. Today I packed a little bit more at my office and the parting day is coming closer and closer. It will be strange when it's all over and I don't have my work there to go to. I have been going the same way to work for 28 years so I will probably go there if I get a new job because the car is so used to go that way :-) E discovered today that he needs glasses. We went to the optician and he turned out to be short-sighted and quite a bit on one eye. So now he has ordered glasses. He got 2 at the price of 1 so that was a good deal. He isn't too happy...

I'm so happy that my friend J's operation today went well. Her daughter wrote me twice during the day telling me about the progress and the last time she wrote she said that J had been awake and responsive which is a very good sign. Her operation lasted from 9AM until late afternoon but the brain is a tricky place to operate in I think, and I'm no doctor. I will have more news tomorrow hopefully. Today nothing much happened really. It was a quiet day after work. H and I just visited the bank in Sollentuna and then went into the new built mall or should I say the mall in building process. Not much is ready there but it will probably be quite nice when finished. Then we headed back home and had as I said a nice afternoon. It has been snowing and raining today and it never went light just a grey sky and no sun. I'm not going to Linkoping next week because H.E.A.T's concert has been cancelled due to K not feeling well yet. Now he will have time to recover completely til...

As I said many times before, but I do mean it, time really flies. Tomorrow my good friend J in England is scheduled to have her operation. She has a tumour in her head which needs to be removed. I do hope everything goes well and I will certainly think of her and pray for her tomorrow. It's kind of funny really with hers and mine friendship. We have been writing mails to each other for about 7 or 8 years now but we have never met. We met through a mailinggroup since we have the same disease and belonged to the same group. She started writing me privately since one of her grandchildrens name was Mia, and I answered. We have been sharing each others lives since then by sending photos of our families, talking to each other about everything both in happy and hard times. I have even spoke to her on the phone (when I had Skype) but never met. I would love to meet with her some day and I hope that day will come sooner than later. I went to see my new friend from the Rheumatic association ...

It's so grey and foggy outside and it never was light today. This is the darkest time of the year but if we are lucky we can have snow but all the snow that came last week is gone. It feels like you're never quite awake. It's like I always say in November we should gon intor hibernation and not come out until March or whenever spring comes. You are constantly tired, have headache and feel miserable. Three or four weeks with warmth and sunshine wouldn't be completely wrong :-) I have begun the process of emptying my room at work. It takes time because among my private things I found calenders dated back to 1990 so it's a trip down memory lane looking at those. I have the habit of making small notes every other day which has brought back so many things. My room is to be emptied by December 30 and I hope I will have finished by then but it's hard. Every class that has ever graduated at our school have made some art with all the pupils portraits on and they are tru...
