POSITIVELY RE-VOLTING

On Thursday, we had our Halloween fika in the afternoon. I had a crazy day as I had a birthday lunch to attend, then a dentist appointment, then had to get back for the fika. The team had decided on a fairly easy costume idea: we went as Marcom afternoon tea in honor of Helen who organized the fika and who has been our party planner, when she’s not been doing her regular assistant to the Vice President of Marketing job. She’s English, you see. One of my teammates brought fiberduk and we cut it into 2-meter lengths to be...

POWERLESS BUT PUMPKINED

Yesterday was the blusteriest of blustery days. It was windy all day, with winds whipping the trees into a real frenzy. I worked from home both Thursday and Friday as I had been trying to beat a cold since earlier in the week and on Thursday morning it caught up with me. I stayed in bed for a few hours, and then felt better, so got up and worked. Since I was still pretty gunky yesterday, I stayed home again but felt okay enough to work a full day. By the time Anders came home, it was really stormy weather...

ORANGE YOU GLAD IT’S AUTUMN?

It’s heading on for Halloween. I have signed up for the annual adult Halloween social for the AIC which Kirstin hosts, but honestly I hate dressing up. Every time I have to, I try to find the easiest, most simple costume idea I can…one that doesn’t involve a lot of shopping or face paint or elaborate things to put on. I signed up for 2 people but Anders doesn’t usually want to go if he can avoid it, so I might end up going by myself. Last year, I went with both kids and Karin came up with a super...

BABBLING BLABBITER

Hmmm. I don’t know what to write about. I’m in a bit of a writing funk these days. Haven’t I already told you everything about me? (no) Haven’t you already learned all you could possibly care about when it comes to my opinions and ideas? (probably) Aren’t you sick of me yet? (never!) Anders is in Tingsryd until tomorrow. Karin has a sore throat but felt compelled to go to work today regardless and has to go tomorrow and Thursday as well for partner events that she is coordinating as there isn’t really anyone to hand them over to. She...

A BREATH, A BREAK

Why is so easy to keep writing once you’ve started, and so hard to get going again once you’ve stopped? It’s always real life getting in the way, for me. Karin always asks me to share photos when I’m out doing things, and I always have to answer that I didn’t take any. I’m usually so busy living in the moment that don’t even think about taking photos. It’s the same with writing here…I’m often so busy living in the moment that I don’t take the time to sit down and write about it. I’ve had a crazy busy three...
