Sunset in Florida, July 10, 2020

Hi! I hope everyone are doing ok and are enjoying the summer so far! We are doing great over here! I know, I suck at updating here but oh well..
We are done with quarantine but still haven’t been anywhere, cause, where would be go haha? We might go see our friends this weekend though cause baby George turns one years old today and we want to give him a birthday gift. We have also been talking about that one of us should go get an antibodies test this week. Maybe a silly thing to do but we are curious. Since I have already done a million tests the past year we have decided that I will do this one as well (only one of us needs to go, if I have some then Jim probably does too). 

And what else.. Well, I have cleaned and organized the walk-in-closet and dressers so everything looks very neat again. I now have a box of things and a garbage bag full of clothes to get rid of. Not sure if donation places are open these days, but they probably are, they should be. There are some containers for donation close to our apartment but I have seen families crawl into them and take stuff – which I guess is fine if they have no money and need clothes, but if not, well then, it’s stealing, so I prefer to go drop off to a place I know will look through it and make it go to use for someone else who needs it. 

Today we are taking Mr Fluff to a new vet for a regular check-up, get some yearly shots and to get more x-rays of his bladder to see if the stones are gone yet or if he needs surgery. 

There is not much else to update about these days. We have done nothing interesting since February (or I guess our trip to Florida was a little exciting, but I already told you about that hahah). I’m very tired of this virus now, aren’t we all, but we have accepted it and we are doing the best we can of the situation and we enjoy our daily lives:) It’s just for now, it’s not forever…unless people don’t do what they are told. Stay home, stay safe, keep your distance, wear your mask, that’s all I’m gonna say. 
Peace out

I hope I get to spend some time in the ocean on this trip. This pic is from Aruba, Nov 2019

Good evening! I just finished packing my backpack and I feel sort of ready for our trip tomorrow. We have to leave the apartment around 5am, so I have to go to bed soon. It will probably be pretty busy days down in Florida, we are going back already on Saturday, so we’ll see how much I update here. And why are going? Well, we are going to look at a house🙂 Yup, we are going all the way down to Florida for two days to look at a house. I am excited and nervous. We have to stop in Charlotte, NC, on the way there which sucks, it will be a long day tomorrow. 

Ok, I am going to finish my oatmeal now and then go to bed. I haven’t been sleeping that well the past couple weeks so fingers crossed I get a good night sleep before the alarm goes off sometime after 4am. 

Have an awesome day!

4th of July, 2020

On Thursday we celebrated with champagne that I/we are done with PMP! 
And oatmeal raisin cookies as a birthday treat for me (it’s my favorite!)

First I’d like to thank everyone for the nice messages I got on my birthday! I had a lovely day! We ordered food from a restaurant downtown, had our own little dance party on the terrace, watched some tv at night, very easy breezy….or, not so breezy haha, it was the hottest and stickiest day so far this year 😀 

We ordered fried pickles. I also got a veggie burger (w. bacon) and sweet potato fries, YUM!

And yesterday we didn’t do much. It kinda felt like it does on January 1st, just a day after, a day in between, today is when everything starts up again. Because a birthday can feel sort of like a renewal, you celebrate that you’ve lived another year, celebrate that you get to enter a new year and you can start fresh. At least that’s how it felt for me this year. I could finally leave one of the toughest years behind, move on from something I never asked for but was meant to go through in order to learn a few new things. It’s refreshing:)
I got some stuff done yesterday, but it was a quite relaxing day. Also, I didn’t know that Jim was going to be off work all day (because today’s holiday is on a Saturday), so that was a nice surprise:)

Today we have no plans as usual, haha. I took steaks out of the freezer, we are going to skype with my parents at noon and then it’s kinda up to Jimmy what we’ll do cause celebrating Americas day is what he has grown up with, just like I’m in charge of what we do on Midsommar 😀
Happy 4th!

This week is full of celebrations 🎈

A couple of weeks ago I went in for another blood test for my PMP. It showed the same number as in May which was different than my previous ones but luckily nothing to be concerned about. But, it has been a full year since I started seeing my oncologist and one year since my 2nd surgery, so I had to go in for an exam on Monday. I’ve been so excited and nervous about this appointment. Was this just a standard exam, or could it possibly be the end of this shitty mystery story? And guess what…

I AM FINALLY CLEARED! 

It’s been 18 months of tests and worries since my miscarriage and first surgery (21 months since this story began), and now I’m done!
I told my doctor that I wish she could see how big my smile was under the face mask. This was the absolute best birthday gift I’ve ever got!

Oh, and ya,…Today is MY BIRTHDAY! 
I have lived, learned and grown for another year. How awesome! It has definitely been the most challenging year of my life, but oh boy I have gained so much trust and knowledge along the way. And I have never felt so loved and supported by people I know and don’t know. Thank you to every single one of you who read this!

And on Saturday it’s 4th of July so the party goes on all week.
Now, lets open those champagne bottles and celebrate! Wohoo! Everything is awesome!

I’m having a great birthday week! (yes, I get a full week haha) I feel amazing and everything seems awesome:)
This morning Thor woke us up at 5:45 am. Sometime after 6, I got up and took him out. Normally Thor doesn’t allow me to be the one taking him out for the first potty break (cause he is a daddy’s boy) but today it was apparently ok. I love getting up early and go for a walk, it’s so nice and quiet outside at that time.
Back home I fed the little monster (who after that ran to the bedroom to fall back to sleep with daddy) and I made myself some coffee that I enjoyed with a book on the couch.
Around 8am, I brought a full cup of coffee upstairs and started my laptop that I had set up in the Fanny Room. Soon I got a video call from my sister. I had promised to teach her a few things and guide her through a workout session so that she can get her body strong again after her pregnancy. It’s definitely different to teach online but I enjoyed it:) 
After that, I haven’t really done that much today. Read a little more, went on walks with mister fluff, prepared dinner and now I think we are going to watch another episode of Dark season 3. 
And tomorrow is my birthday 😀 

Thor looks so good in his new haircut (last week)
She did such an amazing job this time, he’s soft like a little puppy again
