Aug, 2016. It’s been 15 months, the longest I’ve ever been away from Sweden
Hello! How’s your weekend? Isn’t it nice to have an extra hour today?:) Jim flew to Minnesota on Friday after work and is not home until midnight today. So Thor and I have been spending the weekend alone here. Or, not completely alone, I skype’d with my sister for awhile yesterday and with my parents today:)
It’s nice sometimes to be alone. I’m glad that J got a chance to hang out with his friends in Minnesota. We both need time to miss each other sometimes.
My plan for the weekend was to take yoga classes and work out but my body said no. I told you about my right knee that was messing with me. It felt better on Friday and I decided to take Thor for a long walk. He was all excited and the weather was warmer so I was excited too. Well, we didn’t get far. All of a sudden it felt like someone shot an arrow through my left calf. Oh that pain. I tried to massage it away, but whenever I tried to take a step the pain was back. I don’t know how, but I somehow managed to have T do a nr 2 and then get us home. I was in so much pain that I even started to cry halfway back home. On top of this, the left side of the lower back/butt was tight and had started to be painful too a few hours earlier, and not being able to walk properly gave me pain in my right hip. Yup, my body was broken and tried to tell me to rest. So that’s what I did. I watched a movie on Friday night and went to bed early. Took it pretty easy all of Saturday and today I felt much much better. So I managed to clean the whole apartment spotless, do laundry, skype and take T for walks before the rain came. My body is not back to perfect yet, but it’s definitely functional now. I think I can go take class tomorrow.
It’s important to listen to the body and take care of it!
For the rest of today, I’m gonna make the bed when the dryer is done, read a book and have some tea, eat some kind of dinner and then maybe finish the day with a movie. Not the weekend I had in mind, but it’s been pretty nice anyway:)
