Good morning! How are you today? I have not slept a lot, but I am in a good mood anyway. When hubby left for work I thought I could sleep in a little, but no, Mr T wanted to go out. It is absolutely wonderful outside so I didn’t mind getting up to enjoy the morning. 
It is so easy to make breakfast when you have already prepared it the day before. Today I had chia and oat pudding. Just mix 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp oats and 1 dl unsweetned almond milk in a jar or a bowl and cover over night in the fridge. It takes less than a minute to pour it in to a serving bowl and add toppings, provided that you know what toppings you want to add for the day. I only added raisins, cranberries and coconut flakes today. After a few bites of my pudding I figured out what was missing. The cinnamon! I love cinnamon, especially in the morning with either oatmeal, yogurt or breakfast pudding. 

God morgon! Hur mar ni idag? Jag har inte sovit sa mycket, men jag ar pa bra humor iaf. Nar hubby gatt till jobbet tankte jag att jag kunde ta sovmorgon en stund, men nej, Mr T ville ga ut. Det ar absolut underbart ute sa det gjorde mig inget att kliva upp och njuta av morgonen. 
Det ar sa latt att gora frukost nar man redan har forberett det dagen innan. Idag hade jag chia och havre pudding. Bara mixa 1 msk chia fron, 1 msk havregryn och 1 dl osotad mandel mjolk i en burk eller skal och pa med lock over natten i kylen. Det tar mindre an en minute att halla upp det i en serveringsskal och lagga till toppings, forutsatt att du vet vilka topping du vill lagga till for dagen. Jag la bara till russin, tranbar och kokosflingor. Efter nagra tuggor av min pudding kom jag pa vad som saknades. Kanelen! Jag alskar kanel, speciellt pa morgonen med antingen havregrynsgrot, yogurt eller frukost pudding. 

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
