Treat Yo’self, yup, I admit, I have been treating myself real good lately 😀
Four weeks of traveling mixed with poor diet and lack of movements, no routines, just indulging in the good things. Not only do I feel like a walrus, my muscles are weak and I have a face of a teenager. But I’m not beating myself up over it. I liked it actually. But, our bodies needs a balanced diet and movements for a long and happy life. We only have one body, one heart that’s beating. I love mine and it’s up to me to keep it safe, healthy and happy.
After a period like this, it’s hard to motivate yourself, but I think as long as we just DO the things we need, it’ll get better and the motivation will come along with it. Everything is hard in the beginning 😀

Good Morning! Hubby brought Thor to work today so I have a day to myself before my flight. Kinda nice actually, I can just relax and get ready in my own time. Planning on grabbing a taxi around 2. Flight isn’t until later but I have to go to Newark and traffic might suck, better to be early than end up in Norway (like I did one time haha). 
In an hour I’m gonna go down to the gym. I’m hoping that if my body gets a good workout before my long trip my muscles won’t feel so restless. When I first started traveling I always booked a window seat, but these long trips to/from Sweden is just horrible for my knees and back (hello old lady) so nowadays I always book the aisle seat so that I can stand up and move around without disturbing anyone. If I can work out and stretch before it might help me sleep on the plane…unless there are many cool movies to watch hahaha.
Now I’m ready for family time, fika time, baby Mila snuggle time, Falkenberg beach time and more fika time:)
Have a wonderful day!

I haven’t taken many cool pictures lately, my phone is just full of Thor 😀

From this weekend. Thor is so damn cute♥

Shorter week for me this week. Or, I mean, the week is the same length as any week, but stuff going on that makes it feel short:) Monday was a holiday so Jim was home from work and tomorrow I’m off for a week of vacation 🙂 
I’ve been pretty prepared for traveling tomorrow, done most of my todo list for the week. Cleaned the whole apartment on Monday so J and T can enjoy a clean home while I’m gone and I washed all towels and sheets. Todays todo’s was to wash clothes, fold them, go to the store and pick up a few things I need, pack my bag and then take class tonight. Woke up feeling very ok with my plan for the day…. and then the stupid washer screwed everything up. After a full wash, I opened it to put in dryer/hang it up and I notice that the load is barely wet. I wash the same load a second time… a little more wet but still not completely. I don’t have time to take it to the cleaners so I have to just accept that our clothes isn’t completely clean. Another load is in the washer now, I hope I don’t have to wash it all a second time. This apartment is annoying the crap out of me. Every single inch of this place is broken. We haven’t even lived here for three years and everything was brand new when we moved in. They still haven’t come to fix the terrace door upstairs cause they have the rest of the building to fix first. 

Oh well, nothing I can do about it, I have to just hope I don’t smell like a cow on my trip haha. I’m very excited for this trip. My sister had a baby girl earlier today so there will be some baby snuggles. But I’m also so excited about all the food I get to eat ;P My mom promised me that we will go to the grocery store right after I get to freshen up after the long trip. I’m afraid I will end up buying the whole store hahah. And then I already have plans for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Busy bee as always when I go to Sweden. And then right when I’m back in the states I have to repack my bags cause J and I are flying down to Florida. 

Ok, enough of this. I need to finish my coffee, take Thor out and let the laundry get done while I do my errands and hopefully I can catch up of the lost time:) Have an awesome day!

This sweater looked like this after second wash, might have to wash it a 3rd time.
Have you ever had this problem?

January 2, 2020

For me, January 2 is the first day of the new year. January 1 is just a day in between the old year and the new one. I have no musts, no goals, no nothing, it’s simply just a day in between. Same thing every year. 
This morning I got out of bed and went to take a long shower. I imagined myself washing 2019 off my body. Last year, whenever I had a hard day or I was in the middle of crying, I jumped into the shower and washed off negativity, sadness, anger or whatever I was feeling. It helped every time. Sometimes it could be for 20 seconds, sometimes several minutes, but it helped (obviously didn’t always shower my hair, my long hair takes an eternity to clean hahah). The dream would be to go for a dip in the ocean every time, but water is water, a shower works. The image of everything washing off is cleansing and healing. And today I wanted to wash off 2019, a year that has been so emotionally hard for me. Now I’m ready to start fresh. I welcome you, 2020. 

I have the same resolution every year (if we can call it that); be a loving wife to my husband, to be kind to others, be a loving daughter, sister and pommy mommy. This year I’d like to add; to be kind to myself, love myself. 2019 taught me so many things – to trust that it will all work out, that I can’t always be in control and I might not be the one to blame for when things doesn’t work out. As long as we continue to be grateful, kind, always do our very best, believe that we are all worthy of amazing things and love ourselves, then we’ll be ok. 

I truly hope you all will have an awesome year! Happy New Year!

Hi! Yes, I am alive:) Sometimes the blog has to suffer a little. This month has been a bit tough. I hate to dwell on things, but it just became so real that I’m not done with the PMP story yet and it’s been over a year now since it started (we didn’t know about it until later, but the story began already in November of last year). I was so excited about the little life I was carrying and we were hoping that last Christmas was going to be our last just the two of us, but it didn’t work out. And now for some reason I got really emotional about it and it’s hard to update this site then. 

Anyway. Hubby brought puppy to work today so I’m having a day to myself. A perfect time for me to sit down and think about how I’d like 2020 to look like. My pmp story will unfortunately follow me into the next year but at least my numbers has continued to be down so I’m not as worried anymore.
However, we have put in a maintenance request (possible mold growing in the wall and under carpet by the terrace door) so I don’t feel as relaxed and tuned out as I’d like to. I asked Jim to bring Thor to work so that I really didn’t have to focus on anything else, but knowing that the guy might show up any second makes it kinda hard to sit down and meditate or to stay focused on anything which was the purpose of this day. It’s hard for me to concentrate on a normal day so I needed a full day to just myself. Oh well.. I got do some yoga in the morning and have got some stuff done on my computer now so I guess it’s not a total waste:) 

Ok, this post wasn’t very positive I guess hahah, but I’m gonna go sit down and meditate now to bring negative thoughts out of my system (I bet you $5 that the guy will show up a minute into it hahah).
Have a wonderful day!
