As time moves and the summer (in Sweden) passes by, I still find myself writing small bits and pieces. I didn´t continue with the classic literature course since I early on felt it was not what I wanted right now. I just want to write creatively about anything I feel like writing about. I journal. I sit with my writing projects and try to write … Continue reading Still thinking about writing
And then we are already a week into February! Time do really fly by. Even if I did complain over January, I still do not want to miss living my life. Had a good reading start on the year, but sometimes when all I do is reading, I feel like I am missing out. I do know that for me reading and resting is necessary. … Continue reading Words on reading and resting
January is finally coming to it´s end. It has felt like 90 days instead of soon 30. Everybody keeps telling me “January is always long”, but I have never really felt like that before. In Sweden I always felt it was grey, cold and dark, but February has less days and feels as grey, cold and dark. This year though, January has showed it´s true … Continue reading Monthly wrap up
Have been thinking about storytelling lately. The whole idea of stories and how we bring them to the world. A lot of it has to do with me studying creative writing, I guess, but it also struck me as I share more in Stories on Instagram while we are settling in here in Lusaka. Struck me, as in what stories am I telling through the … Continue reading Thinking about storytelling
On the 10th of August 2019 I decided to start a separate Instagram account to only use on what is commonly called #bookstagram. I felt a need to escape the real Instagram and maybe, sometimes the world, and all it is telling me about it self through social media like IG. I need brakes a couple of time of the year but I always felt … Continue reading One Year on #Bookstagram
The end of the year is here and it is naturally a time of contemplating what was good and bad during the year. We are also closing a decade this New Year, so much time that passed and I feel like I have hardly noticed. But our kid is turning 12 in March next year so obviously time has passed. A decade of mostly being … Continue reading An appreciating post to #bookstagram
Hi after a long time! This is winter! Summer disappeared and so did I. Most of Autumn was spent working and reading and trying to catch as much sunshine as possible until the darkness arrived. I managed quite okay until the end of October when I got a cold and after that it has just continued being hard. This week I got a flare again … Continue reading Soon time for Holiday in Zambia
In Sweden April is the last month of “it can be winter again all of a sudden” and I am not in the mood of arguing with winter clothes, shoes, hats and cold cars in the morning anymore. So I have to just survive it. Soon, soon, soon full out spring will be here and all of a sudden it is summer. So I have … Continue reading Three things I do to survive April
February is soon ending, and that is like the best thing. Not a fan of February. March comes with more promise of spring and warmth and the birthday of my first born. She turns 11 this year! A real tweenie. Can´t believe it, but at the same time I can, because I feel older. Since this chronic disease took me down three weeks ago, I … Continue reading Self care and books
Yesterday was a better day. Sweden won against Switzerland (no it’s not the same country), it is really warm again and I had a good meeting with my doctor. Got new medicine. Or not new really, but I am going to take injections instead of eating pills that gives me nausea and makes me vomiting. Also got injections of cortisone in my hips. Yes, it … Continue reading Vacation and world cup still on
