• β€Ί Glimpses of my weekend

    Glimpses of my weekend – week 20 {may 15-17}

    Another weekend has come to an end and oh boy,  has it been a roller-coaster of emotions, moments and thoughts.

    Friday ; E didn’t have any school {only the after-school school thing} and when he came home, we went on a car ride. Just, to go for a ride and change environment for a bit. Well, see something else.

    Sunset. Not fall.

    Saturday; unfortunately, the bug found us. The sick bug. We had a calm day. Had to go to the store, though, and E had a face mask on. No gems were escapingβ€”have no fear! A face mask is here to protect everyone. Lol!

    Sadly we had to go to the store three times , yes you read correctly. Every time, E had a facemask on and we kept distance from everyone. When chrck out, E stood at the end of the checkout so i could pay etc with no worries for anyone

    Don’t worry {we kept distance. E had face mask and I barely spoke}


    Round one; carrots (for me. Weighloss), bread, roasted onions (for E and his stomach) and Pepsi Max. As usual. We also bought an ice cream to E.


    Round two; bananas.

    I made a smoothie with passion fruit, strawberries, blackberries, mango and raspberries.  Oh my. It was sound so I had to add a pinch of sugar in it. I didn’t like that I had to add some sugar so.. I decided I needed bananas. So off we went again. Additional on shopping; chocolate.

    So bright.

    Round three ; package.

    We came home from round two, and we were sitting in the living room. Me checking my phone, noticing the post office app, and remembering I had a package to get. So off we went. I even joked with E, saying, “What you don’t have in your head, you surely have in your legs, but now we can’t come back for a fourth time. Three times is enough.”

    At home again sadly E threw up again. So back to the couch and blankets.


    Sunday ; staying home & bubbles

    Today we have been home, chilling. Although we had to go to the store once to buy French fries and bread..again.

    I finally remembered that I bought E a new bubble machine when his broke, so today he got it and oh my, was it a hit!! He has emptied two cans of soapbubblesmix.

    I also did a little DIY fix on my tripod. When I was going to fix it and put on the bag, I noticed the plate that holds the camera when using it was coming off, so I brought out the big guns ~ the box with all the screws. Unfortunately I only had a long one that fit the hole, but hey, at least I can use it now.

    Photos from the weekend. 

    The bruise is after I smacked my knee in the livingroom table last Thursday (14th of May) and this is how it looks now.



  • β€Ί Daily prompt

    What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?

    Elephants! Oh ever since I was a young girl I have been obsessed with elephants.

    I actually got an stuffed animal that I got on christmas eve 1992. I was two years old.

    Til this day, I still have him. No i am not ashamed to admit that. 35 soon 36 years old and still have her stuffed animal since childhood.

    Not in the bed though.

    Fun fact: my son didn’t want the elephant as a baby, so I kept the elephant to myself. I have tried ever since then, but he refuses my elephant every time.

    I actually want to go to Africa and take photos of wild elephants! I have seen elephants in real life, but at the zoo in Sweden, and I cried. I cried because I was happy seeing one, but mostly I cried because it was awful how tiny an area they had. The prison-looking and -feeling area. I hate zoos.



  • β€Ί A small moment that happened

    A quiet moment I know I’ll remember.

    This AI picture of me and my parents. I don’t have a picture of us together, so I am so happy that AI could make this one for me. Of pictures of my parents and me. Combined three photos into one.

    A small moment today that I don’t think I’ll ever forget.

    My non-verbal son looked at an AI-generated photo of me and my parents and said β€œgrandma” and β€œgrandpa” in Swedish for the first time.

    It was the very first time he said it, and I’m sitting here in tears and is still emotional when I think about this moment.



  • β€Ί A simple moment from today’s dinner

    Pancakes

    Today I had dinner in a simple, unplanned wayΒ  by standing by the stove.

    It wasn’t planned, just a simple moment in the middle of the evening.

    I noticed how ordinary it felt, but still calm in its own way.

    A small moment, but it stayed with me.
