Good Morning! It’s Friday. It’s hot and sunny outside. Jim and Thor is at work. I am sipping coffee at home. So far, this is a great day. Don’t get me wrong, I love my hubby and puppy, but after yesterday I got very happy when J said he’s gonna bring T to work. We have a three-day-weekend this weekend in America (Memorial Day) so there won’t be much people at the office today I guess.

So, about yesterday. We had a gorgeous day and I thought that since it’s kinda too hot for Thor to be on the terrace, I could take him out for a picnic. I could read and do stuff and he would be happy to be outside in the shade with a little breeze. I brought a big blanket and placed us under a huge tree. He barked from the moment we stepped outside our apartment and for 43 minutes straight, we had two amazing and fun minutes of being quiet and then another ten minutes of barking and that’s when I decided that it was enough. What was he barking at? No. Idea! There was nothing to bark at. I fed him lunch out there, we played with toys in between barks, he got plenty of water. Bark bark bark bark. He is a very anxious pup so I always practice being calm and breathe through it with him. I smile and use a soft voice to assure him it’s safe and all is well. It did not work. When we came back home and closed the door, my smile turned into tears and Thor’s bark turned into a quiet smile. It might not sound that bad, but this happens 9 out of 10 times I try to do something with Thor and it sucks all the energy out of me.
Jim took T for a walk when he came home and 20 min later he sent me a picture of them sitting in a bar. They were gone for an hour or so and Thor had been quiet basically the whole time. Lucky Jim. What did I do wrong? Why is T always freaking out with me? 

Anyway. Not having to deal with Thor today is a relief. I still think about my husband and T every minute. Are they ok? Is Thor quiet and still? Can J do his work? It’s like having a baby. But, there’s nothing I can do about any of it so I should just let it go and enjoy my day not being a pommy mommy for a second. Hopefully I can get a lot done today:)

Hello! I have absolutely nothing to write today. I’m waiting for a guy to come make a report on our broken car from Jim’s accident, that’s about all the real plans I have for today. It looks like it’s gonna rain soon, so I should take Thor out before that. He seems a little down these days and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets affected by the weather just like me. We had two nice days but before that we had 1.5 week of rain and a little colder temperatures and T was a little low on energy.
Typical Swedes huh, talking about the weather. Hahah. One day we’ll live somewhere warm. No more snow or thick jackets, only sun and some rain while being surrounded by beautiful palm trees:)

Good Evening! What a day. When I had got out of bed, I felt something in my “better” knee and suddenly I couldn’t put full weight on it. Kinda annoying, but it usually goes away when I start to move around and going about my day. After breakfast and doing stuff on my computer in the morning, I noticed that Thor was acting a bit strange. Was he just tired, had a cold or was he sick again like two weeks ago? Sometimes he gets extra tired when the weather is shit, like it was today (been raining nonstop). Who knows. He’s been sleeping all day and didn’t want lunch or dinner, not even water. If he’s not eating by tomorrow then we have to take him to the vet. I stayed with him all day. Instead of going to the gym or athletic club, I stayed at home and did yoga in our living room. Felt amazing and my knees felt much better after.
This afternoon I was supposed to do a new moon meditation with my neighbor, but she texted me and cancelled a few hours before. I was ok with that, I wanted to be with T anyway at least til Jim would come home from work.
At 5:30 I got a text from J that he was leaving his office. 30 minutes later, he called me (which he never ever does so I knew something was up). He had been in a minor car accident. He sounded like himself so I wasn’t worried that he had got hurt, but our car looks like shit. Some woman didn’t hit the breaks in time in an intersection and just ran into Jim. So, have to deal with that tomorrow. He’s ok, that’s all that matters♥ I can’t even imagine if something would happen to him. I know he’s careful on the road, it’s the other people I don’t trust.
Not the most fun day of all time. But those days exist as well. Just breathe through it and everything will be alright, always will:)

Good Morning! Had my first cup of coffee on the terrace this morning. Not a single cloud in the sky. Peaceful. Sat there for about a half hour, basically til my cup was empty and Thor was sweaty.
I woke up motivated this morning. Not sure what that motivation actually was but right after my alarm went off, I rolled out of bed, did some stretches and cat-cows to wake up (I have done that lately, it’s a nice start of the day) and then jumped into the shower before hubby and puppy got up. A perfect and positive start of the day gives you a bigger chance of a perfect and positive day all together.

Last night we had some crazy lightning and thunder going on. It always freaks me out, but it amazes me at the same time. Couldn’t help myself but to film it. It has nothing to do with today’s post, but I thought it was pretty cool to share:)

We had an awesome weekend in Chicago! Today I’m tired:) Slept like a rock and didn’t even notice that Jim went to work this morning. Woke up at 9 and wondered where I was and what day it is, hahah. And Thor was sleeping like a rock next to me as well.
My body is so sore today. Lots of walking, dancing and barely any sitting this whole weekend. It really feels like I got run over by a monster truck several times. Knees hurt so bad both after the wedding on Saturday and after all the walking yesterday that I have been putting ice on them before going to bed. It’s like the dancing days when I would come home after a whole day of classes and rehearsals and I could barely move until I had to do the same thing the next day. I do have to take better care of my body now though, I feel it.
I hope you guys had a wonderful first weekend of May.
