I woke earlier than my husband today, so I took a shower, cleaned the kitchen, grounded beans and made a pot of coffee.
On Avenue B between 13th and 14th Street (right next door to Unleashed Spa) there is a coffee place called The Roost. They had really great coffee! They are using beans from Brooklyn Roasting Company and we asked which one they would recommend to buy. We bought the classic Colombian coffee beans which I really like to grind on weekends for me and my husband.
I would definitely check out that cafe again. In the back they are having a bar, a typical New York/Brooklyn bar which is always fun. Sure, it’s on Avenue B, an area I don’t hang out in, but since we were so happy with Thor’s haircut we will be back there again. 

Hi! We have had a great morning so far. We actually slept in until 10 today and it felt awesome. It’s almost lunchtime but we are still enjoying our breakfast coffee and we are not in a rush for anything. I love these days. We’ll see what else we gonna do today. 
The pictures above is from 13th Street between 2nd Ave and Ave B. We walked here when we were waiting for Thor to be done at the spa a few weeks ago. I really love when they do things like this on the walls, it’s a lot more fun than just look at brick walls all day long. There is a lot of graffiti and wall art that does not get to stay which is sad. There is a lot of crap and clutter and I understand that they don’t want to keep that, but some art is really good but the city does not approve. There was a place in Queens that recently got cleaned up and a lot of people complained. Adding some color to peoples lives isn’t a bad thing, I think, as long as it’s tastefully done and not just some random letters. 

Went to the dentist this morning for a cleaning. The girl who works there is so sweet. She is an actress and I am a dancer so we have a lot to talk about. I hate to go to the dentist cause I feel like there is always something wrong in my mouth (like today, apparently one filling had a broken edge so I had to fix it) so talking to this girl at the same time makes the appointment a lot more fun. 
Yesterday we booked a flight to Sweden. I’ve heard that the weather sucks there now but we are hoping that it will be better in the end of August. It will be a short trip but I am really looking forward to it. I miss my family. Being away from people I love is not always easy. I miss out on things and I sometimes feel very distant to everybody. But it’s my own “fault”, right? I’m the one who left. 

Var hos tandlakaren imorse for en rengoring. Tjejen som jobbar dar ar sa sot. Hon ar skadespelare och jag ar dansare sa vi har en del att prata om. Jag hatar att ga till tandlakaren for det kanns som att det alltid ar nagot fel i munnen pa mig (som idag, tydligen hade en lagning en bruten kant som jag fick fixa) sa att prata med denna tjej samtidigt gor att besoket blir mycket roligare.
Igar bokade vi flyg till Sverige. Jag har hort att vadret dar verkligen suger nu men vi hoppas pa att det ska bli battre i slutet pa augusti. Det blir en kort trip men jag ser verkligen fram emot det. Jag saknar min familj. Att vara ifran dem man alskar ar inte alltid sa latt. Jag gar miste om saker och ibland kanner jag mig valdigt avlagsen till alla. Men det ar mitt eget “fel”, eller hur? Jag ar den som lamnat. 

Hopefully the weather will be nice enough for us to bike down to the beach

This photo is from like two weeks ago or so. My husband and I took Thor to FIKA cafe on Pearl Street and we had breakfast on a bench nearby. It was a warm morning so we decided to go home and leave T and then go back out again. Behind our building there is a beautiful park area where you’re not allowed to bring dogs. This is my favorite place these days. All the tourists walks by here but where I am sitting in the picture people usually don’t go because it leads to an end so you’re actually left alone there. I have been there several times the past two weeks. I love to just sit there and listen to the water and feel the platform move along with it. 
After Jim took this picture he sat down next to me. We drank our coffee and sat in silence for some time. These days not many people can actually enjoy a moment in silence in company with someone else. If you’re not talking to each other then you’re probably on your phone. I feel so comfortable with my husband and I don’t have to talk to him all the time. That’s one beautiful thing about love and friendship, you don’t have to speak, you just feel. 

Detta foto ar taget for typ tva veckor sedan. Min man och jag tog med oss Thor till FIKA cafe pa Pearl Street och vi at frukost pa en bank i narheten. Det var en varm morgon sa vi bestamde oss for att ga hem och lamna T och sedan ga ut igen. Bakom var byggnad finns ett vackert parkomrade dar man inte far ta med sin hund. Detta ar min nya favorit plats nufortiden. Alla turister gar forbi har men dar jag sitter pa bilden dit gar de oftast inte for det leder till ett slut sa du blir faktiskt lamnad ensam dar. Jag har varit dar flertalet ganger senaste tva veckorna. Jag alskar att sitta dar och lyssna pa vattnet och kanna plattformen rora sig tillsammans med det. 
Efter att Jim tog detta foto satte han sig bredvid mig. Vi drack varat kaffe och satt i tystnad under en stund. Nufortiden ar det inte manga som faktiskt kan njuta av en stund i tystnad i sallskap med nagon annan. Om man inte pratar med varandra da sitter man formodligen med sin telefon. Jag kanner mig bekvam med min man och jag behover inte prata med honom hela tiden. Det ar en vacker sak med karlek och vanskap, du behover inte prata, du bara kanner.
