Eee-pc, friends and amusement park.

Great week so far.

Tuesday started with me running errands; I had to fix my glasses after cathing a footie with my face Sunday... Then I finally got my watch back, it's been in the shop for repairs for like forever. Also got my last (?) doctors appointment before we leave out of the way; I needed to fill up on some prescriptions before we go. The best part of the day was picking up my new netbook that I'd ordered; this post is being written on my new Eee-pc 1000HE (gold), which I absolutely love! I've been wanting to buy one since around christmas, but I've been putting it off, never finding the right time. Last week, however, mum called and asked if me and Mick were up for going up north to visit relatives, and then I wanted to bring a laptop, but not my big 3 kg lump... So I finally got my ass out of the wagon (great Swedish expression for not postponing stuff for longer) and ordered it. So far, it's better than I thought it would be, yay!

Tuesday night was spent with one of my oldest friends who was in Stockholm for a brief visit, Johan. Him, me and Mick went to dinner, then to the pub, just had a great night of talking old memories, recent stuff (he's been in France for a year, so we haven't talked very much), future plans and just random stuff. I don't have a lot of close friends left, since I've been travelling around for a few years, but some of them will always be there when you get back.

Yesterday we went to Stockholms biggest (only?) amusement park, "Gröna Lund", and enjoyed rollercoasters, crazy upside-down rides and other fun stuff. We've finally gotten something resembling summer here, with temperatures around 25 degrees(!), and the sun was shining, good day all in all.

Today is mostly about relaxing, doing laundry, packing and waiting for Mick to come home from his test (some Microsoft certificate, I can never remember the name of it), and tomorrow it's off to visit my relatives and experiencing northern Sweden in summer. We're not gonne see the midnight sun, but we should get close enough that it still stays light out all night, pretty cool, huh?

Salvation? Don't think so!

Yesterday we went to Eskilstuna to celebrate my neighbour that gratuated from high school, which is a fairly big hoopla in Sweden. He was almost like my little brother when I was a kid, and it was so cool to see him all grown up! Also got to spend a little time with mom before she goes into surgery tomorrow, always good. 

Today, I slept forever, and then spent the day on the couch until Thomas picked me and M up at 4-ish, to go see "Terminator: Salvation". It was just as crappy as I had foreseen (Yes Sussi, it really was!) but still a nice distraction for a few hours.

What else? Well, I've started to try and sell the rest of our furniture (most of it we're just selling to my friend who's moving in here after us), so far I'm getting a lot of good responses, so that should hopefully work out just fine. Really, I just don't want to have to get a trailer to bring stuff over to my parents place, I want a nice and easy getaway.

This week I think I'll spend running some errands, cosying up with tea and books and being with my better half.

Over and out,

Bubblewrap and tape makes my day!

The last couple of days I've been working full time, leaving little time for anythin but work, sleep and fodder. That's quite OK tho, since it's been 10 degrees and raining... Might as well spend some time in the office! Our remodeling there is almost done, although I wont see the results until after vacay, wonder if I'll still find stuff? Yesterday I spent over an hour wrapping little packets of pens and toycars (!) in bubblewrap and a full roll of tape. Since we're rebranding soon, all the offices needed to get new merch, and even tho we're in the frickin' logistics business, we didn't have any boxes... But, as those of you who know me surely know, I L-O-V-E my tape, so I had a great day. Also I'm almost done with the vacay lists for the whole company, and the traditional early summer amusement park visit preparations. (In swedish, that would have been a reeeally long word!)

Kneebie's still hurting a bit, I feel supersilly at work when I take the elevator instead of stairs even when I'm just going up one floor... But it's definitely getting better, yay!

Tonight I decided with Sussi to go see the new Terminator movie on Sunday... From what I've read, it'll be absolute crap, but at least it will be a nice outing and hopefully a few laughs.

Now it is, once again, time for me to watch some crappy tv, and oh how I love it! (no sarcasm, really!)
