Nuts

I think I'm allergic to something. I’m not sure what it is, but I have a strong feeling that it starts with an n and ends with uts. Many times in the past I’ve got serious stomach pain after eating stuff like nutella and pistage nuts, and the other day I felt like I had a near death experience after eating almonds. Well, maybe it wasn’t really that bad, but it was very close that I actually called myself an ambulance. It all happened last Wednesday morning. I woke up happily without having a clue about what was going on. The night before my boyfriend and I was celebrating “little Christmas”, exchanging gifts and stuff while having some nice Christmassy kind of food such as the traditional mulled wine, which we in Sweden enjoy with almonds and raisins. Anyhow, I was waking up feeling pretty great. I only had a little bit of packing to finish before heading for the airport and my flight home for Christmas. I was up early so I decided to go for a short run. Out I went and all was fine for the first 10-15 minutes, but then I started getting this weird feeling in my stomach. As usual I just ignored it and kept on running. A couple of minutes later I realised there was no way I would be able to run home, so I decided to walk the rest of the way. After walking for about a minute I realised that neither was an option and decided to sit down for a while to relax hoping the pain would go away. But not at all... it was only aggravating and as time went by I also started to get the feeling that I was going to faint. Life was passing by flickering in black and white and I decided to try to get a taxi home. Luckily enough I got a taxi within a couple of minutes and a very nice taxi driver gave me a lift home for free (big star to him (!)), even though he nearly insisted on driving me to the hospital instead. Once at home I was lying down for nearly an hour before the pain started to go away. I was nearly screaming, and thinking all sorts of horrible things were happening to me. All the time I was determined not to give in, which would also would have meant to give up on my flight home.

Well, I caught the flight anyway so it all ended happily :-)

Nearly there...

Yeeey!! I've nearly finished with the project I've been working on for the last 4 months. Although I've thoroughly enjoyed it (for most of the time ;-), I’m sooo looking forward to get started on the new project. It will involve developing a web interface for triggering workflows, which should be really interesting. Well, enough about work...

My sister is visiting next weekend. I haven’t planned much for the occasion yet, but I know we will get up to lots of fun stuff! Will write more soon again :)

(I also want to add that I hope my small, but very important Irish audience, will enjoy being able to understand more this time. The online translators doesn't always meet their expectations ;-P )

Oktober

Årets födelsedagstätaste månad! Hur kan så många av mina kompisar lyckas pricka in just Oktober. Har haft fullt upp med att handla födelsedagspresenter och vila upp mig mellan födelsedags firandet på sistone, så det får helt klart bli min ursäkt att jag inte har varit så flitig på att skriva blogginlägg. Men men... Still early days!

Var ute med min "housemate" och firade hennes födelsedag igår kväll. Någon gång under kvällen så började vi diskutera folks ålder och födelsedagar och det visade sig att av oss 7 tjejer som var där, så var hon äldst och jag yngst. Lite kul med tanke på att jag endast är 5 månader yngre än henne...

Annars så städade jag köket i 4 timmar idag. Så otroligt äckligt det blir i skrymslen och vrår när det inte städas på 2 år. Visserligen var enda anledningen till storstädningen att jag hade planerat att jobba ett par timmar och städning är typ en miljard gånger roligare. Hoppas att få tillbaks lite motivation snart!

Genesis

Ena veckan så har jag så himla mycket att göra att jag med nöd och näppe hinner med att slå en signal till mamma och berätta att jag lever, medans andra dagar händer det ingenting alls. Man skulle ju kunna tro att jag under dessa händelselösa dagar har otroligt mycket tid över till att skriva email och höra av mig till folk jag inte träffar så ofta, men så är det inte... istället sysslar jag med en otroligt massa dagdrömmeri och TV-tittande. Så under en ganska så lång tid har jag funderat på vad som kan tänkas göras åt saken och det var då jag bestämde mig för att skaffa en blog. Anledningen att jag inte skaffat någon tidigare är att jag egentligen tycker att jag är rätt så kass på att skriva. Svenska var absoluta hatämnet i skolan och jag kommer antagligen ha tusen stavfel och särskriva allt som går... Men som sagt nu skiter jag i det och kör i vilket fall. Bättre det än att spendera fritiden med att räkna blad på toapappersrullen!
