Kiwis Corner

I’ve started a new project. It’s called Kiwis Book Blog, and I think the title says it all. You can read it here: http://kiwisbookblog.blogsome.com/

I will also post it all through my Notes-app on FaceBook. 

A short update on my life, wich is extremely un-interesting most of the time. But I guess some of you are interested in what happends in my life anyway.

Sighsten passed away a week ago. I came out in the morning to feed the boys and he was laying stiff and cold on the bottom of the cage. I think that his immune system was low since he was so very very skinny, and probably got something that his cage-mates could handle. I’m calling the vet on monday (it’s been closed over christmas and now it’s the weekend) so they know I’ll be coming in to get him cremated. He’s on the balcony wrapped in a towel. It’s so cold out that I haven’t needed to put him in the freezer.
  I’m not sure that Gunnar has a tumour, but I don’t know what the lump is. It doesn’t feel like a tumour any more, over the last few days it has turned very very hard (most tumours are a bit spongy). At least it doesn’t seem to hurt.

We’re finally moving on tuesday. I’m looking forward to getting it done. I hate the packing and un-packing but it will be nice to have a bigger place, with a room for me to withdraw to when it gets to noisy. Niddes friends are louder than mine, most of the time. I like them, but some times I get overdoses of sound. 

I’m thinking about calling the psychiatrist again. I’ll wait some more since I hope it’s just temporary- but the nightmares has returned and I’m back to thinking about what would happend if I met him, what I should do if he turns violent and things like that. It really really sucks, it was so nice NOT to have that in my life, and finally feeling like I might be strong enough to go back to Gotland to see people. But as I said- I hope it’s just temporary and that it will go away when the stress from the holiday and moving goes away. 

Ikea tomorrow. We’re buying a shelf for the bathroom, nightstands and frames. L and P are coming too, it will be nice. 

So it’s been a while since I wrote. Alot and yet not very much has happened. Lennart got pneumonia and had to be put down, I miss him alot. Gunnar injured his paw but that has healed now, but he has a tumor too. Not a very big one yet and it seems to be growing slowly, but still. I’ve been home from work about a week now with the cold of doom, my sinuses being visited by a team of builders. It’s christmas in two weeks, and we move in three.
But at the same time life slowly moves forward, snow comes and goes, I work eat sleep and repeat. I wish I had some deep thoughs to share with you, but I don’t. Oh! One thing! This is great! I’m no longer in therapy, and is now well. I no longer have PTSD! It’s awsome! I’m still on meds since you have to take it slowly when you quit them and all, but it feels very good and has been over two months since my last anxiety attack. YAY! *happy dance*

So I’m back home again. Feels good to sleep in my own bed, on my own pillow under my own cover.
It was wonderful to see my friends in Bakersfield again, I loved San Diego Zoo and Sea World, Las Vegas was crazy and The Blue Man Group was incredible! I can’t wait ’till my brain has slowed down so I can start sorting out particular memories from the crazy, tangled pile they are in now.

It’s good to be home with my friends again. But I miss you Kadin. We had so much fun!

Today I effectively killed my cellphone by dropping it in the toilet. No it was only water in the toilet, yes it was an accident and finally I blame it all on the cats (it happened at work, where we currently have two collies and two kittens). Anyway, I’ll have to make due with Niddes old cell (known as "the elephant ear" and "the taco phone". It’s the first N-gage phone by Nokia. http://www.sidetalkin.com/ ) ’till I get the new one on monday. 

I got my salary today, so I went out for fika with Lina <3<3<3
And no, there is no good word for "fika" in english, wich is an obvious fault and you should at once make it a loanword like you did with "smorgasbord".

Otherwise not much new to report. I’ve made a new character for the Camarilla in Uppsala, a malkavian. And tomorrow I’ll finally get rid of the economic responsability for SRS. I don’t want to be echonomically responsible for a club that doesn’t work.
Now, bedtime.

So it’s morning again and time to get to work. WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to early for my taste but hey! That’s life I guess.

The trip to California/Nevada is coming together quite nicely. I’m really looking forward to it! We’ll do San Diego, Bakersfield and Las Vegas. We might hit Tijuana as well while in San Diego, mainly just to get the stamp in our passports and to be able to say that we’ve been to Mexico. The only doubt we have is how long we have to wait to get through customs on our way back. I mean, not fun if we have to sit in line for longer then we were looking around in Tijuana. So we’ll see.

I’m a bit worried about Sighsten (one of my rats). The antibiotics seemed to help, but now he seems ill again. I need to call Paula to ask her to come and have a look and see what she thinks. I also want to give her her birthday present, a few weeks to late. But better late then never!

Time to get dressed and head to work! Bye for now.

When I was a kid, my best friends dad ADORED Michael Jackson. He had all the films and all the records.
I was probably around 7 the first time I saw Thriller, and it was really scary back then.

Saturday Ylle was here. We saw The Love Guru, ate popcorn and drank tea.
After the movie we searched YouTube for indian music videos, and found this. It’s crazy! Just look at it!

I used to think Justin Timberlake was rather overrated. And I still have to say that I’m not a very big fan of most of his music.
But dude’s got humor! After his role in Love Guru, and the song "Dick in a box" that I just found, I’m sold. He’s great! I love him! If I was a little less sane I’d become his celebrity stalker.

Here’s the video! 

I had the bestest birthday ever!
It’s been a week and I still can’t blog about it properly ‘caus I’m all overwhelmed!

THANK YOU darling Nidde for arrangeing it all, and THANK YOU all of you who were in on it, and came to celebrate me!

This is what my brain still looks like:

I’m moving!
Not yet, for some reason we get access to the new apartement on new years eve. And not very far, about 500m north from where I live now. But the neighbourhood is brand new, they’re building it as I write this, and it’s close to Uppsala Centrum. Just 500m further then my current apartement ^_^ And as long as I keep paying the rent I get to live there indefinitely. Yay!

This is the blue print for the apartement:
