βΊ Quick little update
Hello hello my cute, spicey little pumpkins! It feels like it’s fall here – the leaves is changing colors and swirling down to the ground.
Been quiet here, I know! I haven’t done much since I came home from Bulgaria because of my foot and knee.
Update on that:
β₯οΈ My foot still hurts like… an elephant has stomped on it.
β₯οΈ The wound isn’t healing as well or as fast as I was hoping for.
I have also kept being stubborn – typical me honestly. I’m still trying to walk “normally” on my foot even though it hurts like crazy, and I don’t think I’m supposed to be doing it.
But I do it because, sadly, my toes have also been affected by the pain, and it feels like they’re broken after walking on my toes before I decided to be stubborn.
Here’s the non shocking part of the situation; no cast. Still no painkillers. Nada.
I do challenge myself when the days allow me to, depending on the pain. Not often though. I go to the supermarket. Into town.
Do I suffer during it?
Yes.
Do I suffer afterwards?
OH YES!
But at least I get myself outside.
That’s a small little update. It’s 11:30 pm here and I need to go to sleep. Hospital tomorrow.
I will answer your comments tomorrow.
Goodnight, my pumpkins. π€ -

βΊ Don’t use ambulance abroad
Remind me to never do something stupid again that requires an ambulance.
I seriously thought I was going to pass out today.
Two letters. Both were from Germany.
I had been waiting for the paperwork from the hospital that I need to send to my insurance company, plus some papers I have to sign to confirm that I was treated there. That’s perfectly fine. No problem.
But the second letter…
That’s the one that almost made me pass out.
It was the ambulance bill.
I honestly thought my insurance would cover the ambulance ride from the airport to the hospital.
Nope. The panic kicked in. The sweating. The tears. The anxiety attack.
All while being home alone with E.
Luckily, he didn’t get scared. I somehow managed to hide most of it from him. It’s hard to explain.
Anyway…..
The bill.
I honestly thought it would be around β¬300β400, which would have been perfectly fine.
Instead…
The 10-minute ambulance ride cost me β¬1,100.
That’s around 12,000 SEK / $1,265.
Like… WHAT?!
For a ten-minute ride?!
I even had my European Health Insurance Card with me. You know, the one that’s supposed to help cover emergency healthcare when you’re travelling within the EU.
Well…
Apparently it doesn’t cover the ambulance bill.
And neither does my travel insurance.
Nada.
So… the next couple of weeks are going to be chaotic. -
βΊ The Weird Residents of EverFlow (Yes, They All Have Names)
Meet the Residents of EverFlow
The Non-Human Edition β They’re Real Legends.
I’ve always named things. Objects. Plants. Animals. Yeah, pretty much anything that sticks around long enough. With weird names. With random names. With absolutely no explanation.
Lately I’ve been asking myself “Why do I do this?” Honestly… I have no idea. I can’t even answer my own question.
So I figured it’s finally time to introduce a few of the residents of EverFlow. π€
The image above gives you the short version. Here’s a little more about what they (some of them) actually do around EverFlow.
πΏ Garden Protectors
π΄ Fartranden (FartStripe)
The yucca palm with an attitude. Professional eavesdropper. Part-time ninja.
Occupation: Looking suspiciously plant-like.
𦩠Mohammed – The Garden Flamingo
Just stands there. Judges everyone. Protects absolutely nothing… …or maybe everything. Occupation: Head of Security.
π· Hubert & The Gang
Every spider automatically becomes Hubert (with other names). Together they make up a tiny mafia whose only mission is eliminating bugs and other unwanted visitors. Occupation: Pest Control.
β¨ Sparklefart β The troublemaker. Highly energetic. Extremely dramatic. Charges first. Asks questions later… maybe, but probably not. Leaves a trail of glitter wherever chaos occurs. Occasionally picks fights with people using their horn for reasons still under investigation. Occupation: Head of Chaos.π‘ Other EverFlow Residents
π± Toulula Marie
The angelic spirit protector of EverFlow.
Forever family. π€
πΉ Masina (also known as Muskeville)
Small. Cute. Pure chaos.
Occupation: Former terrorist.Now I just need names for the rest of the Lawn Mower Mafia… and somehow convince my R10 to reveal its true identity.
Let’s be honest… more residents will probably show up sooner or later.Knowing me, more residents will probably move into the EverFlow household sooner or later… so stay tuned. π€
Yes… I have ADHD and apparently my brain thinks everything deserves a name.
Do you name random objects too… or should I be slightly concerned?

βΊ 10 Days Later: Still Fighting the Pain After Breaking My Foot
Hey guys!
So sorry that I haven’t been updating EverFlow like I normally do (texts etc. Like this post), but hopefully that will change soon. No… it will change soon! I also apologize for the lack of communication from my side. I see all your comments and love π€ I will answer them as soon as I can! I also want to apologize for not sharing photos yet from my trip but they will come. Be prepared!
How are you guys? Happy new month! (Yeah, I know… we’re already three days into it. π)I hope you’re all doing fantastic. Thriving, growing and, most importantly, being happy!
My main focus lately has actually been my foot and my knee. It hurts so much, but because I’m stubborn I’ve already started walking on my foot again. Do I suffer because of it? Absolutely. Am I supposed to be resting with my foot up? Yep. But is there really time for that? Not really. Housework, mom life… life doesn’t exactly hit the pause button.
Today I have actually challenged myself. Not a small challenge… a big, exhausting one.
Normally it takes me about five minutes to walk to the store and another five minutes back. Today? Twenty minutes each way. Forty minutes in total… and let me tell you, I do not need a gym membership while I’m on these crutches. π That is one thing for sure!
The sweat was definitely sweating, I can assure you. Imagine me jumping around on crutches while E walks at the speed of a cheetah. It was basically Snail vs. Cheetah.
It’s been 10 days now and my foot still hurts. Like I said above… and no, I still haven’t been given any painkillers, no matter how many times I’ve asked.
So to try and ease the pain a little, I bought a pair of compression socks because the area around my toes is getting absolutely destroyed from walking the way I do with the boot.
It actually helped a little… but it also squeezed parts of my foot I didn’t even know existed. π So, of course… more pain. Those socks are TIGHT. Like… “is my blood circulation still working?” tight. I wore one for two days, though. I even fell asleep with it on the first night.
Yep… that’s pretty much my life right now.
I’m just hoping, wishing and praying these next few weeks fly by, because I’m honestly getting pretty tired of being in pain.
