HOT HOT H.E.A.T

I know, I have been so bad in updating my blog this week but I hope you forgive me :-). I started my new job on Monday and since then it has really been crazy. I mean for 8 months I have been doing practically what I want at the time I want and noone has asked me to perform except for deaths, funerals, caring for parents, children and husband but apart from that :-)) So now I have to adjust to getting up early in the morning again. I now get up at 5.45AM and starts work 7.30AM which is human I think. I am supposed to stop working at 11.30AM but it's hard now in the beginning while building this to just drop everything but I try. Tuesday was my birthday and it started in a very nice way by Jo calling me from La Mirada, LA at 6.20. She sang Happy Birthday and Feliz Cumpleanos to me which was great. Then we chatted for a long while which was so nice. I loved hearing her voice after such a long time and sometimes I wish it wasn't so many miles between us, especially since we met la...

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 ...
