JUST WHAT I DIDN’T KNEE-D

I don’t know if Murphy’s Law is applicable, but my right knee is now borked. Thank goodness the left one is nearly healed, even if I still can’t bend it all the way, because if it was also still a problem, I’d be completely screwed. Started Thursday afternoon, and got progressively worse, limping, sharp pain in the back of my knee when bent or straight. Limping yesterday as well, wore my knee brace on the right side instead. Alvedon and ibuprofen not much help. Got an appointment with Tilda physiotherapist in Löberöd for Tuesday Jan 14 (earliest available). Hurt during...

READY TO LOSE IT

I could do with a little less stress. I feel like every little extra thing is about to shove me over the edge. I’ve been so filled with worry about health-related issues and worry about my mom and guilt over my sister dealing with all of it, and the usual crazy at work, that tonight when I misjudged and hit a curb (AGAIN WTF) with the Tesla, I almost lost it completely. I’ve never had a car I dislike so much. I love having an ELECTRIC car, but I hate the Tesla more and more. Not just because of Elon...

COOKIE MONSTER IS SAVED

I am very sad about the cookie situation. Which is, that I can’t have any, because I’m not supposed to be eating sugar. And it’s coming up on Christmas cookie season. AUGH! I organized the cookie exchange for the AIC again this year, but at the very last minute, right before I sent out the email telling everyone how many were participating and how many cookies to make, I took my name off the list. There were 12 people participating, which was a nice number, and a lot of cookies, and I thought that if I had 66 cookies in...

PLENTY OF UGH

I can’t write much about my reactions to the election results. I find I can’t think much about it either. I don’t want to talk about it, especially at work where everyone seems to think that a) I should defend them or b) I should explain them. Neither of which can I, nor do I feel obligated to, do. I can’t answer for the 51% of the country that voted for insanity AGAIN. I am angry, depressed, saddened, boggled, and most of all numb. I can’t watch or read the news right now, though I am still reading the newsletters...

UGH

How many times do I think about writing and then don’t do it? Every day, nearly. It feels like my entire life is centered around medical issues right now which is no fun for me and definitely no fun for anyone else to read about. More later as events warrant. Mood: cranky Music: none, just me

I AM SWEET ENOUGH ALREADY, AM I NOT?

I can’t seem to quit sugar. I have no self-control whatsoever. UGH. Back in 2013 I stopped drinking soda cold turkey. I’d been a Coke addict since I was really young, often drinking multiple cokes a day. Coke was my THING. All our Swedish friends learned fairly quickly to have Coke AND ice on hand when we were over, neither of which is really Swedish. I stopped drinking soda because I had read somewhere that the amount of sugar in soda if you drank one can a day was equivalent to 20 pounds a year. So it was WEIGHT LOSS...

SORRY, HAVE MOOD POISONING. MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING I HATE*

So far, it’s been one of those weeks. Monday was a complete shit show with one frustrating, aggravating, and upsetting thing after another. I hadn’t slept well, and my knee was hurting to boot. The only good thing was talking to my manager and knowing that I have her support, no matter what. But the residual feelings about everything that happened 3 days ago is still bugging me. Why is that I just can’t let things like this go? They sit and spin about in my head, on repeat, for DAYS. Last night I slept poorly again. I woke up...

MY COUNTRY ‘TIS OF WTF

I started this post by writing that I was ashamed to be an American again. But you know what? I’m not. I’m ashamed of the 7 conservative members of the Supreme Court who have been bought and paid for and made a mockery of actual justice. I’m ashamed of the Republican party and all of those who have kowtowed and worked tirelessly to put the US in the state it is now: divided, corrupt, following a felon, rapist, power-mad lying psychopath who cares about absolutely nothing but himself. I’m ashamed of everyone who voted for him the first time, and...

WOE IS KNEE

I promised a knee post, but I don’t really feel like writing about it more than what I already did in my last post, especially since I don’t think anyone cares except me. My knee is MUCH better, improving every day. Almost no pain, and I can walk without crutches, or with just 1 for balance. I can straighten it and bend it more than 90 degrees though that is still a little bit of a struggle. I’m continuing with the doctor’s orders until I see her again next week for a follow-up. I am most wary know of overdoing...

TRAVELER

I’m back! 3 weeks in the US went at the speed of light. It was, as always, great to spend time with my sister and my mom, but a bit disheartening to see my mom’s memory issues up close and personal. Karin was the perfect traveling companion. Thankfully, I was recovered from the stomach bug and traveling wasn’t an issue. Our plane from Copenhagen was delayed and then delayed again, which was fine with us, as it meant we could sleep a bit longer before leaving for the airport and it also meant our long layover in Toronto was shorter...
