sunday. an achievements day!

yesterday was so good! woke up around 9, called my dad who came over for breakfast. well, he brought breakfast. we talked a bit and then we did some work on the kitchen. not much left, but to paint, or so.

Also went to my friends new apartment and helped him and his girlfriend to scrape the last of the wallpaper away in their livingroom as to paint in their bedroom. i took some pictures, but aren't allowed to show them.

sweet though was the walk there and back. a total of 9 km, i walked for about 1h40m. i'm feeling how my weight is slowly fading away. ;)

i also booked a trip for me and anton to polland! no charter, but polland seems cheap enough! and maybe not as bad as you might have heard about it. haha... well, we'll see.

ps. and sorry thóra, got so late yesterday, didn't take any pics of my kitchen. i'll do it tonight. ;) ds.

midsummer

some friends will come in a couple of hours. we're talking about barbecuing if the weather isn't to bad (apparently it's suppose to rain). but first i have to clean up and make it nice at home, in case the weathermen might be right. but then i just have this tiny problem. for some reason, i'm not allowed to use the toilet. i don't know why, nor how long. just that when i came home the other day, the guys that did the renovation (in december!) had taped the toilet. so, i'm kinda hoping that it won't rain, so i won't have to direct my guests to the bathroom in the kindergarden in the house (you still have to go down to the basement, then out and in). weird, though, since i've been able to use the bathroom since january.

Flirting with the future

the renovation has started and i'm currently living in smurf town until it's all over. me, mom and dad went to buy tiles and clinkers. stopped by to see how the renovation progressed. and i had no kitchen. no bathroom. i did have a hole in the wall between. and even funnier, a big ol' hole right where the toilet used to be! and this weekend, i'm throwing out my old refrigerator and that nasty stove i got. i have been blessed with a family that cares and helps, cause my dad will be helping me as well as buying a new kitchen to the apartment!

my boss came over today to our workplace and we had a small chat. i didn't get my salary yesterday, but we quickly resolved that issue. to bad, the department that pays out the salary can't be as quick. but i'll get my money by tuesday at the latest. but that's not what our chat was about. it was more about my future at the company and my potentials. and there was little need of convincing her that i had potential, she made it clear that she was aware that the assignment i'm on right now isn't challenging enough. and we were on the same level that i needed to advance within the firm to stay challenged. maybe work as a teamleader. or at least something with greater responsability. so who knows where i might end after this assignment? but i justed stepped up on the ladder a bit. and that's happy.
last but not least, you all know that me and g-spotted ended our relationship. so, i'm single2mingle, as i say. and i've found myself a date! a cute and intelligent guy, a chemistry technician at KTH who seems really nice. now, i've only talked to him on the net, so i don't know really how he is, but from what i've seen and read, he seems like a pretty good guy. i'll give you guys an update on how the dating goes, but cross your fingers for me. ;)

my apartment echoes

well, i still have a kitchen, but i've packed everything belonging in the kitchen. and the bathroom. on monday the workers will start tearing the rooms apart. if you can call it rooms, it's more like small spaces. i've seen closets bigger than my kitchen. but it's my kitchen and i love it.

see, the pipes in the house of where i'm currently staying is in need of an exchange program. we get fresh new pipes visiting our house and the old ones takes a field trip to the junk yard. so this weekend is spent on packing and cleaning. today i have, with the help of two lovely smurfs, washed all of my clothes and packed both the kitchen and the bathroom. and some of the living room. my apartment echoes.

tomorrow is cleaning and moving my stuff to the lovely smurfs, whom i'll be staying with for the time being. and when i'm back, i'll have a whole new apartment (almost)! =)

so my biggest problem right now is which tile i should have... and it's a tricky one!
