well, almost all green. Atleast it’s no snow in sight which makes me so so happy. I really dislike snow.
Husband worked til 10am, went to sleep and after that we went on a small car ride together with E. Pretty cozy. First ice cream and later we saw a lot of animals.
I like how the house is “focused “ How have your day been? Laundry and folding laundry has been my entire day except when cuddle or playtime with son. Thank God the weekend is finally over and all the week days routines is back in action (we have routines on weekends as well but not as strict as week days).
Preparing with a packing list , ok iam insane. I have already started to write list of what to pack for our vacation. One week and if I know myself, I’m gonna have the big suitcase by myself. Lol!
I apologize for not answering your comments 😭 I’m truly sorry! I will answer them as soon as I have battery in my laptop (I have problems commenting via jetpack app). I am so sorry 😔🌸

Countdown has started and iam in my maniac mode of planning
Countdown has started.. School is soon over and our family vacation is coming up.
Unfortunately i have missed too much in school, I have to re-study the course again. It sucks but what to do? My son has been sick a lot lately which has made me missed so many classes of the course so I decided to study it again from the beginning. Apparently it is a normal situation for parents who studies this course so I honestly don’t feel ashamed. Math isn’t really my subject I can master but last time I managed to go to school I almost broke down due to how much I have missed and how far ahead the others are compared to where iam so I at that class restarted my book again, told my teacher and it was fine.
Countdowns; 21 days til course is over (school) for this semester • 52 days til the vacation.
I can finally tell you guys about the vacation. I’m honestly nervous. It is the first time we will ever go on a vacation this way with our son. As you might know , our son has autism 3 and is non-verbal so going to Switzerland by car will be a challenge.
How come Switzerland? We honestly it was not my idea. We are actually going there with an other family who my husband knows and they suggested Switzerland. For me, I have no idea what to do there. Like I have never ever had any thoughts of going there but here we go. So iam in full massive planning maniac mode right now. Reading online about tips, ideas, recommendations etc on how to travel with a child with special needs. It is so hard!
Do you have any ideas? recommendations? What to think of and what not to do, when it comes to travel by car with a child who has special needs?
This is all new to me honestly. I am very nervous to go this far by car with our son but I am planning where to stop and finding places for E to be able to run and play around at on our trip to Switzerland. Play areas, food stops, adventure lands etc.
imagine, we are going through the whole entire Sweden, Through Denmark and through Germany to go to Switzerland. We are also planning on going over to Italy etc for day trip and so if possible. A lot needs to be planned and Iam in full maniac mode of planning to make the trip smooth, fixing passports (done), lists, bags, equipment etc.
Not easy to go anywhere with a special need child . it’s scary but on same time iam excited.

Spring Mood and mental health.
How are you guys? Happy Easter! I know I’m late but we still celebrate Easter in Sweden. Well we don’t celebrate it but many swedes do. Honestly I don’t know how to celebrate Easter except go out and “trick or treat” as you do on Halloween but instead saying “trick or treat” you say “Happy Easter” and receive candy or money. Weird for me and no I’m not taking my son out doing that.
Anyway, let’s continue.
It is official.. Spring is here in Sweden!! The other day as I walked to the bus from school, a little small ladybug flew and sat on my shirt. I noticed it when I was standing at the busstop.
one little bug can make a person happy. It’s officially spring and summer is on its way! So hard to believe it though. Long cold, freezing cold winter is finally over for this time.
I cant wait to the sun, warmth, being able to sunbathing, go for long long walks again. Such a motivation.
I also feel that my mental health is getting a bit better. It is still there but a lot better. Working hard towards recovery is a long way but I have managed to move a few steps forward which makes me so happy. Having bad days is normal though for people and I still have them but I think I’m out of the deepest funk that I have been in. Woho.
Goals for the Spring season; Get better mentally • try lose some weight • work hard in school even though I know im gonna fail this semester but atleast I’m trying • try to become the Emma I use to be ●● oh, start planning for the vacation! So much to plan when traveling with an autistic child.
Do you have any plans for the Spring season?

Winter wonderland
It has been snowing crazy where I live and it still snows! unfortunately I forgot my camera today when I went out but hopefully it’s this beautiful on the trees tomorrow as well when the weather app says it’s gonna snow all night and tomorrow.
Hi, good evening or goodnight in my case. I have been up since 1am and it’s now over 9pm so I decided to go to bed early today. E woke up and refused to go back to sleep but luckily he is sleeping since 1h ago.
So good news is that I’m feeling better and probably will go to the gym tomorrow and also school. I have already checked with nurses and they said if I’m symptoms free and have no fever tomorrow (which is today. I asked this yesterday) I can go tomorrow (thursday). woopwoop. What have I done to make myself feel better? Well, I didn’t get any medication from the HCC so I had to try harder with home remedies. Painkillers, burning hot tea like every 1 hour, lemon, ginger etc and also the astma meds I had to take more off (with permission from a “hotline” the people in Sweden can call when sick, need advice etc).
Hopefully I will feel good or even better tomorrow because I need to get back into my routines with school, workout, photography, editing etc. I miss having enery and structure so it’s time to beat the funk in the ass and get better (im talking about in general now.. mental health etc).
Short post but I’m here. Goodnight you beautiful souls!

Photowalk with thoughts that needed to be clear.
While I was outside for a photo walk alone I had a chance to think of a lot of things. Such as photography thoughts, school, future etc.
Hi everyone! The sickness is still going strong but I felt i had to get out for a bit. I had a gazillion thoughts going on and I remembered that photography used to make me de-stress for a bit. So I grabbed my gear and went out. 3 hours. I got dressed really warm and I was sweating outside. I felt many times to remove jackets but I did not.
My experience about this area where I live (first time photography walk like this); it’s pretty here but it’s not really a lot of taking pictures here. Which is sad.
The thoughts that went on in my head was a lot as you can read above. Why do I really wanna do photography? is it for de-stress? do I have interest in it? etc etc . Yes I questioned myself but the conclusion of my thoughts; photography has always been an interest for me. I love it. And yes it is a de-stressing moment for me. Simple; I just simply love it.
So even thought I am sick I went outside. Ofcourse I didn’t go near people (I didn’t even see one when outside) and I was careful.
now im suffering after the walk because I was lying down on the ground, stood in weird positions, climbing etc just to get THE picture. Unfortunately the sharpness was really bad on most of the pictures but it’s fine. Now I’m suffering with a lot of pain in my back . Was it worth it? Yes! But now my cough and sneezing has escalated so it hurts even more.
