Home and Away

I am yet again home, but also away from home. It's confusing, this business of going home/away. Home should be where the heart is, and all though I love skåne, my heart is with family and friends in norrbotten...

The trip south took about 10 hours, first the long drive to Umeå from Älvsbyn, took about 3,5 hours. Then waiting, and flying, waiting and flying some more, arriving in Sturup, Skåne, then by bus to Malmö, and by taxi to Trelleborg (I didn't want to wait an hour longer for the bus... Damn sunday traffic! *mutters*)
I shall soon go to sleep since tomorrow is my first working-day in the new year, but first I have some serious relaxing to do in front of one of my favourite series, True blood. So, with the bed underneath me, the laptop in my knee, the mango tea in my right hand and the satsumas in my left hand and the head.. massage.. thingy..? in my hair, I am now disconnecting.

Stay tuned for the yearly recollection and summary, it will be up sometime in the beginning of next week!

Watching Eddie Izzard pretend to be a raptor

That's what I've done last night. And this night, I', sitting at home in Älvsbyn, drinking tea and resting my weary head. It's been two of the busiest days of my life!

Yesterday morning started at 6 o'clock with me walking to my colleague to ride with her to work, only to find out that the car port had been sabotaged during a break in, so it wouldn't open up wide enough for the car to drive through. We waited a while for someone to fix it, while I got some coffee in me and got cuddled and licked in the ear by my colleagues cute cat Stumpan.

We took the bus to work, but the bus had some huge problems getting forward because of the amount of snow and lack of snowtyres, and after a while the car port had been fixed, so my colleagues boyfriend drove to get us and then drove us 40 kilometres to work in the awful weather. We saw three cars and a lorrie who had skidded down in the ditch, and heard of more during the day.

Naturally, I got to work over an hour late and naturally I had more things to do in one day than I ever had had to do earlier in this job. So I had a minifreak-out, and started working and didn't stop working until I absolutely had to, or else I would miss the big thing for the evening - the Eddie Izzard show in Malmö Arena!

We got there in good time, grabbed a burger and sat and waited. The show started about ten past seven and we left about eleven-thirty. It was one experience I will never forget. Eddie Izzard is sooo funny! All though, at eleven I was so tired I almost couldn't laugh any longer. Needless to say, I slept in the car all the way home...

Today, I got up at 6 o'clock again (no rest for the busy!), drove to Sturup, took the flight to Arlanda, took the flight to Umeå, landed and ate lunch with my parents and brother Johan, drove 300 kilometres to Älvsbyn where I ate dinner, saw a movie, drank some wine and now - am finally going to sleep. For a long, long, LONG time.

Good night and PUH!

Uppsatsskrivande

Kämpar på med min uppsats idag. Det känns bara grått och trist och jag får huvudvärk desto mer jag läser. =/ Har avverkat en hel del böcker dessa dagar, och desto fler jag läser desto mer förvirrad blir jag. Vart är uppsatsen på väg? Vad vill jag ta reda på egentligen? Känns som om det börjar bli dags att diskutera med min handledare nu för ytterligare handledning, men vill ha lite mer kött på benen innan jag kommer in så helgen kommer i stora drag gå åt till studier med. Fast på lördag blir det heldag i Umeå, ska träffa min bror och hans sambo Sofi och inspektera deras nya lägenhet. Det ser jag fram emot! =)

Nu konstaterar jag att det är slutpluggat för idag, ska packa ihop och dra till Slemmis för inhandling av diverse helg-gott. Kom just på att det finns åtminstone en till källa till glädje denna dag, för det nyaste McLeod's döttrar-avsnittet har just kommit. Woooppie! =)
