Health stuff

Monday, almost two weeks ago, I wasn’t feeling very well. I assumed it was the beginning of the flu, and went home. I stayed home on Tuesday and Wednesday, and went back to work on Thursday as the flu hadn’t broken out. Cue: Extreme dizziness and nausea at work when I was standing up or… Continue reading Health stuff

Making the bed

In a fit of good intentions and cleanliness, I joined Flylady last year. I stopped before the famed sink cleaning, but I still get some of the emails that come through the filter I set up. From time to time they inspire me to make my bed. I won’t deny that there is a special… Continue reading Making the bed

As a book mark in the book, my grandmother had used a “package to pick-up” notice from the post office. My box of books from Amazon. My grandmother was in the final stages of being… Continue reading Did I pick this up?

Trying to break a habit

So, the Olympics are over. And since I’ve been checking the online newspapers pretty obsessively both because of that, and, it’s been a slow summer, I figured it was time to break my habit. Not write the newspaper-adresses into the browser when I’m bored. Not check every five minutes (really, it doesn’t change much). Not have it on in… Continue reading Trying to break a habit
