HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Lisa who returned home today :-) Yes, today was my first day and I was so looking forward to it and are so ready to work again. However it is like being a newborn again :-) I mean this is a new branch and I don't know that much about it but I'm looking forward to learning. Also to build an administration from nothing, trying to see structure and organize in a way that is easy and functional it's a challenge and so much fun. It will take some time though to get everything where I want it to be but we will get there. That I'm completely sure about. After work I went straight to Arlanda where we met Lisa who returned from USA after 13 months. It was me, Hasse, Gunilla and Klara and more than one tear was shed when she arrived. So nice to see her after that long time but of course she was very tired and they soon headed for Gävle where Gittan (her grandma) had made lunch for them. It will probably take some time for her to adjust to both the time and everything else here. I...

This is a photo taken the day before the final of the Swedish Eurovision contest. The guy to the right is a radio reporter that desperately was trying to get autographs from the contestants. I heard him on the radio and when I arrived at the hotel I helped him get Jonas down to the lobby just in time before the radio show ended. Meanwhile he was interviewing me, live on radio. That was so much fun. This photo was taken of us by the other radio reporter and featured on their homepage. I was supposed to go and see my friend Anne in Norrtälje on Thursday but she called me Wednesday and said she had a cold. I'm glad she did because since Hasse and me both are in the risk groups we try to avoid "flupeople". So instead I did "nothing" and since my shoulder still is bothering me it was rather nice. By nothing I mean of course all the ordinary things you do :-) Friday and a meeting with Rosersberg's Kamratförening (Rosersberg's friends) where I was voted as secr...

Today I went to see my doctor. My asthma wasn't that good and I also discovered my curve looked like COL which isn't good. He thinks my aches right now in the shoulder and the swolling I had on my wrist and foot before is due to my situation. Also the fact that I have gained weight without eating more is due to this. As I might have said before my body is made for the stoneage and not modern times. I asked my doctor if they had a pill I could get to make my body realize we are in the 21th century but he only laughed :-)). So I have to live with this until my situation gets calmer and my body finally will realize there is no war nor any danger. I will however take a cortison-cure that is start with 30 mg and slowly go down til zero. And I also got a new medicine Cymbalta which is supposed to take away pain and also in a small way tell my body it's modern times now ;-) I sure hope it will work. Mom is worse again and I think it's because the trauma of felling out of her b...

On Friday I got a call from a former colleague that has started his own business. He needed one to take care of all administration halftime and had been recommended me by others. I went there Monday morning and he hired me!!! Isn't that great news? I know that you who read Facebook already knows this but for all others it might be news. I'm so happy about this. Not only do I know him, it's my former place of work although in different localities, I get to work between 7.30-11.30 which is great workinghours I think. I start Monday 14, just one day before my 55th birthday! The business is to Energydeclare buildings as consultant but also to educate future energyconsultants. The firm is called Energi & Utbildning i Sverige AB (Energy & Education in Sweden AB) EUIS . So that made me very happy yesterday. Something that didn't make me happy was the pain I have in my right shoulder, arm and back. It hurt so much that I'm on painkillers and can just go by. Tomorro...

What a night!! It was the most wonderful, fun party ever. Thanks to all our friends, neighbours and H.E.A.T with families. The preparations actually started a long time ago with me saying to Hasse one morning: I think we should have a big party. And Hasse answered: I just thought so too. So the stage was set. How to do? I said that I didn't want to slave in the kitchen. I was thinking of having it outside while Hasse thought inside. I said is it even possible to have 42 guests sitting in our livingroom? So we contacted a friend who is caterer and has a business Festspecialisten and he came over, looked at our room, measured and went to home to think. We got a suggestion from him that we could seat everyone so we went ahead. We hired everything from him like tables, chairs, porcelin, glasses etc. We also took the food from him and we had a buffé with chickenspit, sirloinspit, salmonspit with sauces, sallat, coleslaw, Quiche Lorraine, bread and butter and for dessert cheesecake and ...

Today I have first been to TSN to see my coach and teacher Ylva. It was a very intense, good, interesting and gave me a whole lot and I'm really looking forward to our next meeting. I have a feeling this can turn out to be something very good for me. When I came home I just made a lunchbox and went straight to Jonas and we had lunch together before going to IKEA. We were to buy a new bedmattress for his new bed. While eating Dave and Jossa came and they also came along. Luckily Jonas checked if the mattress was in stock at Barkarby but no so we headed to Uppsala. It's a completely new built IKEA and the funny thing is that it looked just like the one I visited in Los Angeles. We had real fun while going through IKEA and we managed to shop a little bit more, don't we always when we are there :-) Even I bought some small stuff which we both needed and didn't need. Tomorrow I'm going to take a lot of bloodtests and I can't eat before that. I'm seeing my doctor ...

Today wasn't a very good day. Already yesterday I felt bad and had trouble falling asleep. It's this course that is haunting me. Not that I don't like it or don't like the people in it. Don't get me wrong. These people are some of the nicest I've met in a long time and so very supportive. But it's me or rather my body that can't cope. There is a reason to why I have pension half time and only able to work half time and this became so very obvious now after only two days. I got aches and pains directly after and didn't feel well until Friday. Then again yesterday my heart started beating so fast and that's why I couldn't fall asleep. So when I got to TSN I went to see my consultant and talked to him about how I feel and we directly went to Ylva who's our teacher. We have come to an agreement that I get individual training with Ylva and only 1 hour each time. So the next time I will meet with her is on Wednesday and then we'll take it f...
