Yesterday, Jim came to the studio to meet me after my class. We went to Tigin for brunch and sat on their outdoor seating. What a wonderful weekend!! +30°c and sunny, not a cloud on the sky both days. We spent all afternoon on our rooftop yesterday. Lovely!  

This last picture was actually taken on Wednesday, but yesterdays sunset was just as magical

Today we started with brunch at a diner nearby and then we drove to the beach. It was awesome to go swim in the ocean, the water wasn’t that cold now. J was a chicken as always, but I went swimming a few times:) J is watching football now and I have been sitting in the sun on our terrace for awhile. So nice weather!! And it’s in the end of September! It’s now time for me to cook dinner. I hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Yesterday was a busy day. I used to have even busier days and more places to run around to, but I don’t have it that often anymore, so yesterday felt like I was on the go the whole time:) Blog post will come later. 

Today, Thor is throwing up. I took him out at 6 am and we stood out there for a half hour or so. He kept wanting to eat grass. I’m amazed how a dog just knows to eat that to throw up. I wasn’t sure to let him though, he gets sick from everything normally, so hard to say if he should or not. Back home he finally got a hairball out, but he’s still puking, wants to eat grass when we go out and he is now crying in pain and discomfort. My poor baby. I don’t know how to help him.

And of course today I have a lot to do. It’s been three hours already of getting nothing real done. When he’s crying, walking around the apartment or wants to go out every ten minutes, I can’t focus. I want to be there for him every minute he’s not feeling well, my little love. 

I put one of his beds near my feet. He has three more potential sleeping spots
around that too. He is so tired but can’t sleep for longer than 20 seconds. 

 

Good Morning! What a beautiful day today! A real summer day already and the day hasn’t even really started yet. Yay!

I just finished breakfast. Coconut yogurt with flavor of banana and strawberry topped with dried pineapple, some cereal, dried berries and pumpkin seeds, yum. I didn’t feel like making my own coffee today so I grabbed one from the machine in our lobby downstairs. It’s not the best but it’ll do. Thor was acting like he was gonna throw up this morning, but so far nothing, so I think it’s ok for me to run over to the yoga studio and take a class at 10:30. I have nothing to wear though, the washer is on as I write this, but I’ll figure something out. And in the afternoon today I’m actually taking the train in to Manhattan. It’s going to be a hot day so once again, I have to figure out what to wear. Going back home late and I’m always cold, so maybe I need to bring pants or something.. 

I’m excited to go in to the city. It hasn’t worked out with dog walkers before and I have ended up deciding not to go, but today I’m actually gonna go in late so the hours for T to be alone isn’t too many until J comes home. He can hold it for a really long time, but we like to keep it to 4 hours or less between pottys. If I take him for a long walk before I leave he should be ok. 

I survived the dentist visit yesterday:) I went in first and J had to sit there and wait for his turn. I mentioned my issues, they took pictures and cleaned my teeth. It was a nice old man who seem to love to talk about the importance of flossing. He had the same speeches about flossing with both me and J. Apparently 90% of people floss the wrong way so he had us show him how we do it. I passed the test and I think J did too, so that’s good:) My teeth actually looks good but I need to go to an orthodontist to fix the thread that is apparently detached, which I didn’t know. And I have to start wearing my night guard every single night. And of course, we should keep on flossing every day ?

We have been spoiled at the dentist in NYC with the newest things there is. We even had a massage chair at the old place. This place we went to yesterday took us back in time haha. But as long as the job gets done, who cares how fancy the equipment is.

After that, we walked to the bank downtown to close an account and then we sat down at Tigin’s outdoor seating. A hot and humid afternoon so sitting outside felt nice. I ordered really good fish tacos for $5, yum! Eventually the outdoor area got crowded with Irish men, so we went home to our puppy.

Hej and Good Morning! Thor and I went for a walk to the coffee shop in the city center earlier. I paid extra for my coffee since I paid less on Tuesday, so that felt good. And then we walked home again. Holy moly it’s sweaty outside! 

Later today, Jim and I are going to the dentist. It’s apparently across the street from our apartment so that’s nice. I’m super nervous:( I hate going to the dentist. There is a thousand things wrong in my mouth. On my last visit to a dentist in Sweden (Dec 2012), I was told that I don’t have to go to the dentist that often, every other year is fine, cause my teeth looks so good. 6 months later, when I had got married, I started to go with J to his dentist in Midtown Manhattan and they have done a lot of stuff in my mouth over the years and made me feel like I had the worst teeth of all time. Who to trust? Well, I prefer to trust America. Here you get your teeth checked and cleaned twice a year and in Sweden they told me to come back maybe in two years. 

My mouth and smile was one of my favorite part of my body when I was younger. I got braces in a very early age (which I now understand was waaaaayyyy too early) and when everybody else had a metal mouth, I had a straight and white smile that I was proud of. And then came my wisdom teeth which caused one tooth to fall out of it’s placement. And then I started to drink a lot more tea and fell in love with coffee. The thread behind the upper front teeth has been broken many many times because the lower teeth doesn’t fit….which also caused that my jaw is out of line to the right these days, so everything is crooked and I hate my smile. On top of all this,..I clench so hard at night that my teeth are disappearing. All these things can be fixed, but at a pretty big cost and I have already put a lot of money on my teeth after the weird shit the Swedish dentist had done. 

So I’m scared of what this dentist will say today. Maybe they will tell me that the NYC dentist had been doing shit wrong too and I have to start all over again. Trust issues, big time! But, I’m hoping that they can help on some of these issues. We have great insurance now with J’s new job so maybe I can get something done. Wish me good luck today.
