I’ve completely lost the motivation to write here, which is weird considering that I think about it all the time. Why doesn’t that translate to sitting down and writing something? I have no idea but I’m not going to spend any time beating myself up about it. It is what it is. No posts equals no comments but since posts don’t garner comments either, it’s a moot point.
The last post I wrote was on February 21st. Here’s a list of things that have happened since then:
- took a day off and spent it in Copenhagen with Debbie and Camilla, going to lunch and then the Planetarium, and then to dinner at Vapiano back in Sweden
- Anders and I had dinner at our friend’s Barbara and Paul’s with their kids, and watched Melodifestivalen
- First in-person (again) AIC monthly meeting with interesting guest speakers (a children’s book author and a children’s book illustrator)
- a doctor visit in which, once again, my IUD could not be found and/or extracted, which means an appointment for “surgery” is in the works
- Having to have bookworms on Zoom when the host’s husband contracted COVID a few days before
- going shopping with Karin to buy supplies for Ukraine
- obsessively watching/reading the news about Ukraine
- forgetting my sister-in-law’s birthday and calling her a day late
- firming up plans to meet up with John and family for a week in August on Bornholm: ferry booked, cabin paid
- lots of sunshine and meteorological spring
- wrote 14 posts on Facebook detailing the good things from each day
- read 3.5 books and discussed 1 of them
- finishing all of Dickinson and now rewatching all of Killing Eve
- dealing with a major cyber crisis at work pretty much since my last post here
- walked a total of 10.5k
- getting a text from my daughter that she pierced her nose
- a new season of Bäst i Test premiered
That certainly wasn’t the totality of the events and happenings of the last 2 weeks but it’s at least the highlights. Apart from a few of those that weren’t really GOOD things. Highlight is a subjective word, eh?
Now, it’s a Monday evening, after a rather stressful, extremely busy day at work. I came home after 4 and immediately put on my walking shoes and dragged poor Martin around the village while I vented about my day. Then I refilled the bird feeder, played some ipad games, made a boring dinner, read some more in my delightful book (2nd in the Greta Helsing series), and then thought, GO WRITE A DAMN POST.
Done.
Things coming up in the next 2 weeks that I’m looking forward to: a massage tomorrow, dinner with Debbie & Camilla on Friday, Melodifestivalen final, a Sunday lunch date with my work ladies, AIC St. Pat’s dinner and a lunch in Lund.
