Home

Yesterday my mum asked me whether I use the chain on my door. I don't. But I maybe would. If I lived in NYC, or was 80 years old...

It made me aware of all the little things in my flat, to which I have never paid any attention. In three weeks I have been living here for two years. Apparently Jesper Busk and H. Andersen have lived here as well.

Thinking of trying the chain tonight, to see if it will make me feel all Carrie-Bradshaw'ish. But then again. She does have those witch-like hands, and is too skinny. Better leave the chain.

Job (?) day

Today I quit my job. Not that I wanted to, but because I had to. Stupid rules and all.. Hopefully there is a dream job waiting for me, this summer. Or just a job. Maybe I should see if praying can do the job(hah)? Or just get realistic and write some applications.

I have missed you, piano!

Have played the piano whenever I needed a break from writing today. Went for a walk with C, and had tea and many laughs. I appreciate her very much, for being understanding and patient with me, whenever I am stressed or tired. Like these days. Or months, actually.
I am considering the thought of me in a summerhouse, for a couple of days this summer. Just me, a piano (what summerhouse has got a piano? Be realistic!), a lot of vocal training, and recording equipment. As a reward for myself after three years of uni, not having the proper time to maintain my competences. And as a reminder that I can do whatever I want, as long as it makes me happy.
You should take good care of yourself. That will be my mantra. When I have finished my bachelor, I will only do things that makes me happy.

Forget me not

Favourite flower. Today I have mostly felt like the ones lying on the ground, though.

Hello lovelies!

Easter

This made me happy when I woke up at my summer residence (grandmother's) today.
I woke up because of the heat (just like being on festival. Except the smell of warm beer, and you rolling out of a tent grasping the first and best bottle of boiling hot water. All while you are soaked in sweat, but don't really find it necessary to take a shower as it seems too much of a challenge, upon four hours of sleep. Oh the wonders of festival life!)
I am greased up in sun-lotion and have been painting my toenails.

Thursday-monday

Thursday afternoon was spent with the vocal-group, singing. At the first place I, quite action packed compared to the situation, splashed water all over my face and chest, form the bottle in which I was fluting. Hospice next, was touching singing love songs there. The had good cake! At the Library, the last place, people pretended they didn't listen to us, hiding behind bookshelves. Except that in-your-face photographer. Also bought two CDs, very very cheap. I wish I had had the patience to look all boxes through at the book sale. Must do so next time..

Spent the night at A's parents. We drank red wine, and they told stories about their families. You could make a movie out of those stories! War, love stories, Greenland, hidden money, financial fraud, and the list goes on. In comparison I have the most boring family history e v e r..
A, her father and I stayed up late and talked. Came around some touchy subjects, but it felt good getting my thoughts stirred.

Saturday I flew to Sjælland, and met with my mother.
Sunday qualitytime in Sorø. Went for a walk by the lake. Sat on a bench. Visited the church, and said hello to Valdemar Atterdag and Holberg. Ate ice cream in the sun.

Monday teachings from His Holiness The Dalai Lama.

New kind of Tuesday

Started the day in the fitness-center at 8 o'clock, with a good friend. It was perfect! Except, 45 minutes into workout, K excused himself and ran to the toilet. Returned 10 minutes later. He had just been sick, the poor thing...
There were barely any people there, so early. Only sidenote; at 4 o'clock I was hit in the head by a hammer with T.I.R.E.D. printed on the side. I guess this new routine takes some getting used to.

"I'll take another one, for the baby" said S, reaching for a chocolate Easter-egg, at vocal-group practice today. That is how we found out that she is pregnant, and has been so for the last FOUR months! Then some serious shrieking was going on, and we all let her know that we Had noticed that she had gained a lot of weight the last couple of weeks. 1,5 months ago I saw her, and immediately thought that she was pregnant. Guess I was right.

Weekend in details

-Nurture of the orchids. The little one with six flowers now. So glad I did not throw it out, cute little thing.
-What is it with parsley root that makes it smell like urine when you boil it?
-Paris-Roubaix. Camper-van paradise. Wasn't too pleased with the race though. Seemed like the racers had a little discussion club going on, so none of the favorites got out of the place. Van Summeren won, and proposed to his wife. Sport romance at its best!
-Colour arranged my nailpolish. Put some one. Been waiting a long time for that.
-Broke a piece off a tooth, on those white balls. Should have been Easter eggs, but the store didn't have them. It's the winter candy's fault.

Wednesday I went for a walk in the rain, with my good friend keeping me company. I sat on my favourite bench, looking at the ocean. I thought of nothing else but walking and listening to music. Qualitytime with myself. I must practice this more often, and then maybe someday I can think of nothing without music to keep myself of my mind.

Yesterday I deleted all data on my phone (exept photos, thank goodness!). It wasn't a very cleaver move I made, and I am not very proud of my technical skills at that time. I lost all contacts in my phonebook. But maybe that is okay? I wont be reminded of certain people, and I wont have to fight myself over whether to contact them or not. Now I simply can't. Easy choice.

Today I am sat on a chair and three pillows, in my sleeping bag, to write that bachelor project. It is storming outside, and I am a little bit afraid that the lamppost is going to surrender to the wind. It looks tired. I have closed the curtains so I cannot see it.

This is the first day in the rest of your life

That would be the title of today, if I had been protagonist in a bad movie.
Today I have started a new Carmex. New design. 04.04.11. Let's see how long it lasts...
Today was also the day where I started fitness with a sweet big sister. I am glad that I have someone who wants to go shopping for fitness outfits for two hours. I remember my previous attempts at the whole fitness thing. I have never been sure of what to wear, and none of my friends seemed to have the same fear/insecurity. So I only dragged my body to the gym a few times, before I stopped.
But today was the first day in the rest of my life. And it was the day we spent two hours at picking out the right pants and top. Someone helped me chose whether my top should be white, black, mint-green, striped or purple. (and someone bought a pair of pants that didn't allow her to spread her legs properly...) Fitness was a pleasant surprise. I took 1,5 hours, and involved a lot of talking.
Got a visit from B this evening. Tea and chatting. It was a relief to share mutual frustrations.
Dropped a fork on my carpet. Mackerel on my carpet. Vanish Oxi Action on my carpet. Crossed fingers...

Surprises

Surprises are often a good thing. Whether you are a cat, or you are me. I have been spoiled with a pretty striped dress, and two nail-polishes this week.
I am sitting in my couch listening to that single bird chirping outside. Reading and writing is on the schedule today, since bachelor hand in is just around the corner. As I sit here in piece and quiet, I try not to let the stress take control, even though I can feel it pressing in my chest. Luckily this feeling will be over in two months, and I can look back at this post, knowing that an exam is the only thing that stands between me and freedom.

Sun

I have been visiting my grandmother today. First warm day of the year.
18 degrees, felt like Mexico when used to hardcore winter.
Went out in the garden. Looked at a beetle and all the small signs that lets us know that summer is not utopia.
Did the laundry, and here I had not done my homework. Those little black beetles were everywhere.

Spring

Today has felt like a long day. Not in a negative way, though. Slept at the two cats' home, and got home early. Went to work, where the temperature is still way over 24 degrees. I can't understand why they don't just turn down the heat? We all walk around sweating like pigs. We even sweat when standing still.
Ate way too much candy, but compensated by walking a lot (at least that is what I tell myself)
It rains. I have missed the rain.
The key infection has spread to the k-key...
The last three days I have listened to Silkesår by Lampshade and Teitur, at least 25 times a day. So beautiful I could cry. 25 times a day.
