Suddenly, it all starts to catch up: the amount of things I’ve done in the past few weeks, the amount of things still to do before we leave, the phenomenon of Spring drowsiness, the additional fatigue engendered by daylight savings time ending and the fact that I didn’t get to sleep in…I mean, REALLY sleep in at all this weekend. But the translation project is nearly done. My part is finished, now it’s only the proofreading from Anders and I’ll be able to deliver the project this week. And Malmö Redhawks won the hockey game in overtime yesterday; despite a...

The wind has picked up again, it roars once in awhile like a dragon or a locomotive. Driving on the highway to town and back was an exercise in rebuff: the wind against me, shoving at the car; me against the wind, firmly flexing my fingers around the wheel and correcting my course after each punchy puff. The kids didn’t even notice, they were headbanging in the backseat to Computer Blue and Crocodile Rock and snapping their fingers to Supertramp’s Old Brown Shoes. Martin crooned “disssssssssco, dissssssssssco night” over the music when Games People Play came on…and we haven’t even...

Where did the day go? I swear it was morning just a minute ago and I was yawning my way up and into the bathroom to begin the day. And now, suddenly it’s 9:30 p.m. and dark outside and the kids are in bed and somehow I went through an entire day of workworkwork and a trip to the pharmacy and a dinner out with ex-colleagues (which, someone please, remind me next time, NO. Just…no) and driving all the way home…all apparently on AUTO-PILOT. Sheesh. And I wonder why the years seem to fly be so fast. The days are...

More like “Rarin’ & Roarin’”…I need a vacation after my “vacation” and I’m not even done with it yet! Zoooom! This is the first evening in 8 days I’ve had a chance to really sit down at the computer and most of it has been frantically whipping the AWC web newsletter into shape for publication tomorrow on Sunday. We have picked up John & Simone at the train station and taken them final Christmas shopping baked Reindeer Poop and Christmas sugar icing cookies and made Rice Krispie Holly Bars gone out for sushi dinner and watched The Commitments, The Curse...

Heading into Christmas crazyness and I sit here and feel I have nothing to say that is interesting (even to me) since my life is one gigantic to-do list right now. I did SO MUCH today, I am giving myself a pat on the back for all my accomplishments, and it’s only 10:30! Who knows what else I can get done before I go to bed? This weekend the kids and Anders are going to an overnight Christmas Scout camp, and I am singing in 5 concerts at elderly care homes around Malmö. It’s fun but it sure takes up...
