› Shocked, but super happy
I am in shock. Five days and it already shows?
Hello my beautiful boo’s 🩷 I hope you all are doing fantastic today! I hope you all had or have depending where in the world you are at right now, a wonderful Saturday/(/or sunday).
Why am I shocked, and what am I planning?
Well, on October 26th (Sunday) I started with the 16:8 diet but changed it to 17:7 due to school. Unfortunately my blood sugar didn’t respond so well to that diet, so I had to stop with it, but I have kept a bit from it.

Slowly showing and it keeps me motivated to keep going. Slowly but steady. I’m not gonna become a maniac as I was back in 2022 and walked daily for 3 months and lost 40kg.
Lately I had started to eat “breakfast” and cut back a lot on Pepsi Max. As you all know, I am heavily addicted to Pepsi Max and normally drink 4-6 L per day! I know, insane! But lately I have been struggling with cutting back while at the same time struggling to drink more water. I have gone from 4-6 L per day to at max 1.5 L, but the past couple of days I have only been drinking max 1 L. Tonight (and other nights) I had 0.5 L of Pepsi, and I am so proud of myself. I have been drinking tons and liters of water. According to an app I use to keep track, I have drunk 3 L of water today—now that’s insane! So in total I’ve been drinking 3.5 L today, and oh god, I am beyond proud.
I have also stopped eating popcorn (which was a heavy trigger for me) and started to eat more carrots instead for night snacks! Never happened before, and I actually don’t feel hungry after two hours or so, so that is a win-win!
From my weight last Monday (10th of November) until today (15th of November), the scale shows -3 kg! THAT IS SHOCKING! Like what!? I can’t believe it but it makes me motivated to keep going! So I’ve actually started to plan on workouts for me to do! Crazy! No, it’s not boxing; it’s actually water aerobics.
I have looked into prices and locations and times and when I can go for regular swimming, and I am going to purchase a 10-times card in the beginning and try it out.
I won’t get electrocuted?
I have also ordered (I can’t without music) a waterproof MP3 player that I can attach to my bra while swimming, and luckily, a pair of headphones was included, so let’s go!
Hopefully they work. According to the description and website (all about water sports, swimming etc), it says it is. You can even dive 3 m with them. So I think they will work? If not? Oh well. Let’s just hope i wont be electrocuted in the water!
- Ordered a waterproof mp3 player
- Looked up prices, times, etc. for water aerobics and when to do regular swimming.
- Looking around for a bathing suit, but I don’t know.
Today’s dinner
½ dl rice ● 1 chicken breast in oven ● 100 gram of fried button mushrooms ● ½ dl of fried onions ● 3 dl of veggie mix and 1 tbs of currysauce for flavor
Have a wonderful day!

› Do I need to?? Also, people are stealing—what’s going on?
After discovering someone has stolen the photos of me I have posted here, I feel the need to start marking them. Which I honestly don’t want, but here we are.

For the past few days I have been just resting. As much as possible. I am so tired now all the time—so tired that I have fallen asleep several times each day.
On Monday I’m gonna try to get an appointment to take blood tests to check my iron level in my blood etc. I have low iron and had to take infusions before to raise the iron in my blood. I think it’s time to do that again.

Anyway, plans changed, meetings, education, school assignments, laundry, deep cleaning & a child having a meltdown. Well, several meltdowns.
Hello, my loves! I know I haven’t been blogging daily like I used to, but honestly, nothing special happens to me right now, and to try not to make the blog boring and make you tired of the updates, I’ll post every other day or something. I have googled to see what is a “good” amount of posts per week, and Google says once or twice per week. Isn’t that too little? I’m used to writing blog posts daily, sometimes several times a day, and seeing this suggestion makes me think. Is it better, or do you want me to keep posting like I do?
I honestly have no idea. Lol! Help? Ideas?
Wednesday: meeting at my child’s psychiatrist (I don’t know what it’s called or if this is the correct word) to start the investigations for my son for ADHD—investigation? Is that even correct? According to Google Translate, it is. Oh well. Fell asleep.
So many questions were asked, and so many answers were given. So much talk. It was step two. Step one was her meeting E at school. (Note that this psychiatrist was the one who gave E the diagnosis Autism level 3.) What the next step is, I have no idea. We’ll see what happens. Fell asleep .
Thursday; home from school (migraine)
Friday: S T R E S S with capital letters. First education, and I had to leave early due to a meeting. The stress was crazy. Going from one place to another, but I did it! I managed to get there in time. Fell asleep afterwards at home.
Saturday: Pretty ok day. Fallen asleep as usual. The tiredness is no joke, my dudes/dudettes. Laundry and just trying to relax before Monday and a new week.
Sunday: Don’t know yet other than I have laundry time and must do a deep cleaning of the home. Do some hocus pocus to see if it works—just going to try. For fun.
I will get back to you all about the Sunday later, but for now, I’m going to bed and sleep. Even though I have slept today, I am super tired right now. My eyes are becoming crossed and my eyelids heavy as… I don’t know. Just heavy.
I have also sent my posts on Instagram (@thecaffeinatedraccoon) to archives to start over, so I’m going to try to update it as much as possible. I have also uploaded on my photography account on Instagram (@eej.foto), which I will also try to update as much as possible.
Goodnight my beautiful pumpkins 🎃 🧡🍂

› C r a z y I know!
(This post was supposed to be uploaded on October 9th – my apologies! I fell asleep while writing the post on October 9th and October 10th was just a weird day)
So many places and so little time. Crazy how days fly by, and I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we are soon in the middle of October! Now that’s crazy!

(October 9th) The day started with a visit to the dentist, where they shaped/filed a tooth for me (fixed the problem I had) and asked a lot of questions about my headaches & migraines. They used a funny-looking “camera scan” to take “photos” of my teeth, etc. Crazy! NO MOLDING WITH THE NASTY PURPLE BLOB STUFF ANYMORE! Yes, I was happy when I didn’t need to do that. lol! It only takes 3 weeks to get the mouth guard done, so in 3 weeks I’m getting it. Nervous but excited! Praying to God that it will help me with my headaches and migraines.
The reason why I’m nervous is because when I was younger, I used to have a mouth guard. Well, one night. I had it on for one night and woke up the next day completely deaf in my right ear. My sister even screamed straight in my ear, but I couldn’t hear anything. This lasted for a month (luckily I got my hearing back!), and ever since then, I’ve been terrified of those. So I am super nervous, almost at the point of being terrified and scared (I know it means the same thing), but I need to try. If this mouth guard works, I’m going to get one I can wear daily as well. Mama needs a break from the pain, and hopefully this works.
“Have you tried this and this medicine?” Yes. I have tried literally every migraine medicine that Sweden has to offer, but it doesn’t work.
If the mouth guard doesn’t work, I don’t know what else to do. I have been looking into Botox, but I’m also terrified of that!
Now let’s move on from the dentist and my scares.
After the dentist I went home. Eat something, and look for the charger to the R10 LP-E17 battery charger. It was gone. Already yesterday. Luckily I had power in my batteries! Hint; they didn’t last for long.
They have shipped my new 3-in-1 “machine,” so hopefully by Tuesday it will be here. My 3-in-1 machine is a new charging station for my batteries, and I can also use and charge it with a power bank! Uh, excuse me? Take all my money!! The charging station will also work as a power bank for my phone! Wait, what!? That’s insane! So technically you can say it’s like 1000i1—not really, but you get it. lol!
No rainboots and ghost sound
Afternoon, I spent with my bestfriend. I actually had school but had meetings that made me not go to school for half an hour. I thought it was pointless. In school they were going to exercise—I don’t know why we would have that, but anyway—so I grabbed Elin (best friend), and we went out for a photowalk. Yup. I brought my cameras so she could use one (my faithful companion Canon 450D—Mufasa), and I used the R10. We took photos of mushrooms, and my goal with the photowalk was to find mushrooms on trees—with happiness I found some!

(October 10th input here; I was gonna convert the files so I could edit them but all off the sudden my memory card was gone and now it’s nowhere to be found!)
Back to October 9th; After the photowalk, we went to our place to have something to eat – Burger for me and pizza for Elin. Just laughing and talking. Having a great time! Time flies when we are together. Reels, jokes, games, gossip etc. Our hang outs are so different. Yes we play board games etc at restaurants (our restaurant) and just having a great time.

I love burned burger bun! Yes I’m weird.
We were supposed to go out and take pictures of the lights, etc., now with the colorful leaves on the ground and trees, but sadly, my batteries had died—all of them. I had 4 extra batteries, and each battery was supposed to last for two hours, but they didn’t. I need to look that up.
So we went to the grocery store. I bought my beloved soda I have been looking for. It’s rare, and I think they are discontinued now after this batch, which makes me so sad. It’s pure childhood memories for me. At least I got one bottle now 🙌🏻
Ghost sounds—this is funny! Me and Elin took a bus to the grocery store, and a man came on the bus as well, but while passing us, HE DID GHOST SOUNDS! I couldn’t stop laughing! Well, I guess he was practicing for trick or treat? Soon Halloween 🎃
What else? Well, I joined Michaela’s very first live on TikTok. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be on video with her due to it being her first time, and she needed to do 2 more lives with 30 minutes each before I could join her.
Now this was my Thursday and here we go with friday
Friday wasn’t interesting; I went and got my son’s stuff. ordered medicines, picked up the medicines, and went home. Sadly I wanted to go out and have a moment for myself—photography. I didn’t have so much “alone time” after I came home. Batteries were dead, and I also had to go pick up E from school, make dinner, etc.
After d/WordPressied my phone and wanted to transfer the camera files to the phone (my laptop is too weak for Photoshop and Lightroom, so I use my phone when editing), but all of a sudden, the memory card was gone. I had two, but the 256GB card was all gone! Nowhere to be found! So strange!
My blog/WordPress was acting so weird! All of a sudden I had a blog theme design I had no clue where it came from. So many sites had been added, media files etc. (if you read HERE and HERE (after panic!) you will know what I mean with this)
Yeah, so this was my Thursday and Friday. Not so exciting yet panicking moment. No anxiety attack though! Woho! That sh*t was scary and I never wanna experience that ever again.
Some photos I took (not all off them but some)







These was taken with my phone due to the fact I cant show you pictures from my memory card (still missing)

› Pump up the jam with albatrauz
Sometimes i don’t feel motivated yet I try but can not focus. Today is one of those days.

Goodmorning my beautiful pumpkins. I hope you all are doing good and is having a beautiful day.
I’m currently in school, and we still have class. Now we only work on our assignments, but I cannot focus. I have sent in two assignments, though, but when it came to the third, I lost concentration and focus. I started to write it and have answered some, but now I’m just sitting.
It’s still morning/forenoon (?) here in Sweden, and I can honestly say, today is one of those days where I just want to be home and rest.
Special education 9am – 12pm ●● School Social Work 1pm – 4pm
Hopefully my energy and concentration will come back. The energy when I entered the classroom was crazy; I was listening to AronChupa—I’m an Albatrauz, which is a very catchy song with a lot of energy. So some of the classmates laughed and some danced along when they heard which song it was—maybe I should start bringing speakers? so we all can dance and get more energy? Nah, I would probably get kicked out of school if I did that. lol!
What have I learned so far? Well honestly, nothing because what the assignments are about, I already know so nothing new.
Do you have any crazy moments that have happened to you? I have many moments.
