LONG WEEKEND, SHORT THOUGHTS

I had a nice long weekend, with Friday off, and not a lot of plans, though I seem to have done things…apart from just cleaning house and laundry. I also noted yesterday that my shoulders didn’t hurt like they typically do after a regular work day, so that was good. I still DID work, though most of what I did this weekend was for the AWC and not my day job, as we have our annual business meeting and board elections coming up on Tuesday. My life seems to be a lot of lather-rinse-repeat these days. One year blending into...

FOMO YOLO DIEM

Are you familiar with FOMO and YOLO? YOLO stands for You Only Live Once and FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out. I never subscribed much to YOLO because I don’t believe that’s the case, but I find as I age that my feelings of having to enjoy things or try things or do things now is increasing because well, even if I DO live more than once, the *I* that is *ME* this time around is not going to be the same later or remember it. Plus, I ALSO subscribe to the theory that we’re all the same as...

THE WEEK THAT WAS, IS, AND WILL BE INSANE

Where does the time go? It’s been over a week since my last confession. Er, post, I mean. In that time, I have cleaned house like a machine cleaned up the front garden beds finalized the AWC newsletter and website updates before the monthly meeting called and talked to and activated two new AWC members ran the AWC board meeting as our President is still away won trivia night with my team, The Know-It-Alls, at the monthly AWC meeting (prizes: tulips and Reese’s) gotten a raise and praise cleaned and sorted and purged and packed things in my mother-in-law’s apartment...

FEBRUWEARY

I’ve been so busy. February is short but at least being busy all the time makes it feel shorter, but it’s also annoyingly awful weather-wise, so even though it’s early in the month, I am already tired of it, and longing for spring. One of my college roommates, after she moved to Chicago, used to throw a F*ck February party every year, complete with palm trees and sand and a beach-themed clothing requirement. If I wasn’t already so busy, I might have planned one of those. I could certainly use it. Party of the busy has been cleaning and sorting...

I DO AND DO AND DO

This has been crazy week. Something every single evening: Monday – WW, where I expressed disappointment that my scale at home in the morning showed I had lost more than the scale at WW in the evening and was told that “you can’t trust your scale at home”. Which? What? Why not, WW? SO YOU CAN GET PAID MORE? Give me a break. (it was because it was morning, that’s why, and I was getting ready to shower and hadn’t eaten anything, so there) Tuesday – AWC monthly meeting with 2 guest speakers and the annual holiday cookie exchange, which...

SUM SUM SUMMER

Got home from the week in Germany last night, sailing up through the country like we had jet propulsion, in stark contrast to our crawling, staggering, stuttered drive down. What took us (and should take us) about 11.5 hours including the ferry and stops on the way back took a horrendous 16.5 hours on the way down, thanks to massive, unending construction and unbelievable traffic. Between Hamburg and Hannover on the way down, while I was at the wheel, 30 kilometers took us nearly 3 hours. ON THE AUTOBAHN. We had a lovely week with my brother, Simone, the boys,...

THERE! THAT OUGHT TO HOLD YA

Gah. Time goes by too quickly. I think about writing all the time, but then I sit down to do something simple and my arm shoots pain and I give up and don’t stay here long enough to write anything. I suspect this is what aging is going to be about for me: falling apart, pain and doctor appointments. And who wants to read about that? NOT ME. Anyway, we bought our tickets to the US for the summer, or for at least 3 very expensive weeks of it. For Karin’s and my round-trip tickets and Martin’s 1-way ticket, it...

UPDATEY

Things Karin was this weekend: a zipperhead on Friday and 1/2 of an Oreo cookie on Saturday. I asked her why her friends always have Halloween parties a week early and she didn’t know. Maybe because the school break starts next week and a lot of people are already gone at the weekend. Martin leaves next Monday, only a week and then he is gone for 6-7 weeks. He will be in Peru until December 10 and then is going to try to change his return ticket to fly to Toronto on December 10 and then stay in Detroit with...

THERE I GO AGAIN

It’s been another crazy busy weekend in the string of crazy busy weekends that make up my life. On Friday, I had another (!) Wonders dinner, this time without Angie, at Kelly’s home. I joked the since we were missing “won”, we were only the Drrrrs. It was not the most fun evening, since we mostly talked about our anxieties over the upcoming election and divorce/custory horrors. The next time we’ll see each other is Thanksgiving here in Flyinge, but that’s not until the beginning of December (our date is late this year due to Anders’ work travel schedule). Last...

EVERY DAY IS A WINDING ROAD

Life is just so damn busy all the time! Even when I have days to do “nothing”, I have to wrap it in apostrophes because it’s never nothing, is it? There is always something. And if not for me, then for someone that I have to deal with, help, find time for, whatever. I’m not complaining, actually, it’s just how things are, and I know that autumn is always crazy season. Work is especially crazy right now, and we’re short-staffed this week which isn’t helping. I spent much of my day running around, feeling like a chicken with my head...
