So I cleaned the flat today. It only took two hours, but I cleaned everything from the windows down to polishing the floor. I forgot how difficult it is to clean. But hopefully, if I start tidying up every day or every other day, I will do a better job.

So finished cleaning at 2pm, took a shower, and then Tomas called. He has a wedding to go to, but he’s back at about 3am and will be in the mood to party. I guess we can then go to a club or two for a few hours before finding an after party to hang out at. And tonight, Mariselle comes back, so we should be able to meet up with her and Linda. It should be a fun night, and it just leaves me with not much to do until about 2am or so when I can wake up and shower and get ready to go out. Or maybe I’ll get in like 4 more hours of shut eye and head out to a few clubs and meet Tomas out instead of being home waiting for his call (I ain’t no Whitney Houston Waiting-to-Exhale wannabe ;). The only bad part is that Tomas, Mountain Boy, and I will be out on the boat tomorrow with Caroline and Rob. And I am not too sure I want to be on a plastic raft, hanging on for dear life, totally destroyed. But we’ll see. 🙂

Shortly after 3pm I passed out again. I kept on phasing in and out of consciousness. This is so strange. I have never been so tired like this before. But on the other hand, all I had for breakfast this morning was a yoghurt drink, some OJ, and a banana — and it is 30 degrees (about 90ish if you need farenheight conversion) outside. So it wouldn’t surprise if my body just shut down to converse on energy.

Well, it is so nice outside, I feel like I need to go take a walk outside and get some energy for tonight. I just have to figure out what to wear. This shouldn’t be too difficult – I did laundry today as well.

I guess I need to have proper dinner first. So far, after waking up 30 minutes ago, I had crackers and pate and some apple juice. Maybe I’ll make a grilled chicken ceasar salad and have some fresh baked bread and white wine call that dinner. Quick-n-easy (20 minutes to make), and then I can walk it off so that I don’t look fat. After all, they don’t make passes at the ones with fat asses! 😉

Ciao Journal!

Hello journal! 🙂

It’s Saturday morning and I was up ultra early, and then I realised that I have neglected to keep you updated on the goings-on in my life, so let’s start with Thursday.

Thursday
So after a shitty Wednesday, and a marginally better Thursday at work, it was time to go out into the archipelago. Caroline organised the night out and it included her main squeeze Rob, my friend Tomas, as well as friends Kevin, Annika, and Terease. Tomas and I caused us to be a bit late, but it was all good, because everyone was in good spirits and just wanted to have a good time.

So I brought “nibbles” (appetisers, for those of us who are not from the UK) and salad and bread. I was supposed to bring this for 10 people, but only seven ended up coming, so as you can imagine, there were lots of nibbles and salad and bread. I had brought so many nibbles, but that it could have qualified as a meal. But everyone dug in, and then we were BBQing, and singing music (Rob brought his guitar) and having a few drinks.

However, the highlight of the experience was when Caroline and Rob attached the inflatable raft behind the speedboat. Out on the archipelago, Kevin went first and did pretty well. Tomas went second and was amazing…we could not get him to wipe out at all. In the end, he wiped out due to exhaustion. Rob went third and gave it an admirable attempt. I went fourth and didn’t do too badly, although apparently the video tells another story. And then Caroline went, and after seeing her perform, I was convinced that she should be in the third Charlie’s Angels movie! 🙂

So we got back from eating, drinking, being out on the water (and I took a quick nap out in the archipelago) around 01.30. It was such a great time. I enjoyed it so much. It was such a nice break from work.

Friday
I was supposed to be in Oslo on Friday, but when I woke up at 05.30 to take my flight, the world felt like it was rocking back and forth and my stomach was queezy. So I decided against going to Oslo, since I wasn’t sure if I was actually sick with something, or if it was just the after-effects of me being on the boat. I tried to work from home, but my main internet is still out and the phone connection was shot, so I had to go into the office. What a wasted day that was. The one meeting I went into the office for was cancelled, and the call I could have taken from home (with our European division lead) so so stupid and pointless that it was better not to be on the call at all. So after some serious “positive contention”, I went home from the office with Caroline, who was also in. We decided on the way home to get some drinks at a local bar, and Rob decided to join us. We had some drinks and decided that going out on the boat again would be a great idea 🙂 After talking to Tomas, we selected Sunday as the day to go. We also asked Tomas to invite Mountain Boy along, so that should be interesting if he decides to come.

I was supposed to go picnicing and clubbing last night, but I was still feeling kinda woozy, and those caparinahs and white wines weren’t helping. So after McDinner with Rob and Caroline, I decided to go home and go to sleep. So at 10pm, it was quite an early night.

Well, I wrote an awful lot, but anyway, hope everyone is well.

Hej då everyone and love you journal 🙂
